How counting to five can save you big money… and big regrets later.

Funny. Until last weekend, the only five second rule I knew about was the food one – the rule that says it’s OK to eat a dropped hamburger just so long as you pick it up from that e.coli-covered floor within five seconds.

Stay in control of your finances by following ONE SIMPLE RULE.

$5000. It felt like a lotto win. I had in my hands a bright, shiny letter from the bank. Apparently I’d been a good customer so they decided to offer me a credit card with a $5000 limit. Woo hoo. Those golf clubs were ripe for the picking. The fact I never made the conscious ... read more »

He’s a smart man. Maybe that’s what we need to do. Get someone like Kevin Rudd to endorse us. Considering yesterday’s turn of ... read more »

Corgis, Crownies, Bookfests and trading hours over the Queens Birthday long weekend.

June 9, 2010

I love celebrating the Queens Birthday. You get three days off and you don’t even have to buy the ol’ girl a present. Perfect. I remember once (in my very youthful days) going to a “Corgis OR Crownies” Queens Birthday bash. To get in, admittance was either one or the other. A Corgi…OR a carton ... read more »

Would you strip down to your underwear just to get a free magazine

March 10, 2010

Calling it their “most revealing promotion so far”, Mag Nation is presently rewarding visitors with a free magazine up to the value of $50 if they walk into one of their stores on a Monday wearing nothing but their underwear.* What a brave move – on all fronts. According to their blog post, on the ... read more »
