how many Australia's are there, does anyone know which Planet Australia the following is occurring on?

It has found skilled Australian tradespeople earning $220,000 were under-cut by foreign workers willing to accept $180,000.

just had a lovely day in Melbourne, went to see a matinee of At Last - the Etta James stroy featuring Vika Bull. Just fantastic



Then just walked around the city for a few hours. Result; sore feet but I had a great afternoon filled with memories

My little grandson is overcome with grief at the death of his beloved 'Baba', grandmother, a week ago.

He is nearly 7 and grasps the concept of death, which makes it all the more painful.

Poor little man, grief is difficult enough for an adult crying

Oh Serene... my granddaughter has just turned 7 and these little people are just coming out of the world of fairyland... and

they should not have to grieve.. poor little darling.. I am so sorry hun, and your pain for him would be awful..

Thank you merri and curly hug hug

Yes we would take the bullet for them every single time if we could, wouldn't we.

He and his Baba were very close, he is bilingual as he and his grandmother often chatted away in Polish.

His Mum says he is playing and sleeping normally at this time, but had a bad night last night .. he said he misses her soo soo much.

Mum is doing her best, talking with him about Baba and listening to all his concerns. She is getting him a photo of her and framing it, so he can keep her close.

Serene hun, dont be surprised if this takes ages.. because my youngest was 5 when his dad died.. (other one just turned nine) and the 9 yr old took it really hard, but the 5 year old.. he seemed to copy his brother...but seemed to take it in his stride... and it all came out about 7 years ago in his late 20's..



That hurt me so much... sad flower

Oh merri, I'm so sorry sigh hug

It seems different children react differently, like you said.

The plan at this stage is for the little guy to go to Baba's funeral, he wants to and has an understanding of what goes on.

I think it would help him heal to say goodbye to her, even if he only stays for a very short time.

Better days ahead sigh

she'll end up with No customers to her own peril ...


her prices must be eXcessively high if people are choosing to purchase elsewhere ....

To me I'd be looking at MY own business practices and margins rather than opt for the ludicrous ...

I sure won't shop where someone wants a LooKinG fee in a retail shop ..

I can understand why she has charge a fee to look and where she is coming from , with the online shopping taking over and she is losing out makes it very hard for shop owners to keep their head above water.

Wonder what it's going to be like in say another 5-10 years time and maybe sooner rather than later not many small shops will be open the way things are moving along and very fast. sigh dunno Catch 22 confused fight for survival glad I am not a shop owner uh oh
