My one day of employmentSo after landing my new job as a Bunnings greeter (a good find for many retirees), I lasted less than a day ................... About two hours into my first day on the job a very loud, unattractive, mean, woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them...

While you dog owners are travelling around just be on the lookout for a dark blue Holden station wagon with W.A. plates. If the driver has long blonde hair and a small white and a large brown dog pick up your dog immediately. Our precious 12 year old toy poodle was murdered viciously by this brown dog in Ka...

Looking over the Census it appears to me that us that are on the road full time are of Non-Status. I could not see the relevance of it to me, & if this is in fact the case, what benefit will there be for me, & those like me, in the future, based on my answers. How will the Govt. plan for my lifestyle, my t...

Hi everyone, just a brief update on my post regarding myelofibrosis. Unfortunately I have had a report back from the specialist stating that I have had the condition for at least 2 years....and I wasnt even aware of the symptoms! So, in the blink of an eye 2 years of packing a bit extra into life has disap...

My sewing skills don't stretch to much more than sewing back the odd detached button, so I have been presented with a big challenge this week. Our bear, who will be 18 years old this Christmas, developed a failure in his chest fabric. Basically it has just given up the ghost, too many years and too much su...

We get our rig set up to suit our needs. Everything goes fine for a couple of years, and then something goes wrong.

Not through lack of maintenance, but just natural attrition. My split system aircon has just failed to warm. Everything works except the warming part, so now I'm subject to a ref...

Does anyone know much about the Kipor Generators, they seem to be the same rating as the Honda EU20i but quite a bit cheaper. Have noticed there's a few for sale on Ebay.

Can't sleep,so thought I'd catch up with what you lot have been up to for the last few weeks. Can I have a whinge? It's been such a lousy few week... first the loss of a great "mate" of 40 years. He would drink with the best of them, swear with the best of them, and fight with the best of them, {in hi...

Well the turbo arrived back from Perth & my husbane Keith reinstalled it today so hopefully we can be back on the road tomorrow. Surely we have the last of our bad luck for a while. All up this stop cost us $8,000 (that was my emergency fund). Just hope the pension fairies keep supplying us with our b...

Hi all, Esmeralda is on the road at last!!! No stickers though I left them at home with my sun hat - not that I need that at the moment I spent last night at Holbrook - rained all night and I had to puddle around in the mud and rain to get moving this morning. Has rained all day. I am at Cowra tonight and there i...

Nancy Wake , Australia's most decorated WW2 servicewoman died yesterday at the age of 98.
