Queensland housing tax cuts a joke!

I read an article today that can only be described as a joke. Not even a funny one at that! Apparently the government is making housing affordable by eliminating mortgage duty by 50%, sounds good right? Let’s just see how much we can save….a loan of $320 [...]

Air Conditioner Envy

I just found out that another person I know has just got an air conditioner unit.   It made me think back to the day my neighbour got their air conditioner installed.  It was a hot HOT day and the sound of a large vehicle pulling up got my attention.  To say I [...]

Burnt Muffs & Sizzled Sausages!

Going to the beach the other day got me thinking about sunburns and extreme U.V conditions. Most of the people I saw on the beach had hats and sun shirts and there were quite a few shade tents up.  However when I was a kid I don’t think sunscreen was used that [...]
