    I was thinking of people trying to make ends meet and thought I would share this with you.

    For some years I cannot use the purchased Stock off the supermarket shelves, not sure what they put in it but each time I use it in my cooking I irritates the bowel.

    So I have made my own stock and store it in the fridge for a few days, it is so much nicer that the purchased variety.

    Also the other day I purchased some fresh cooked chicken lose to make sandwiches, which made me thinking I should kill two birds with one stone.

    So I have been buying chicken drum sticks/legs and look for ones with a bit more meat and fat on.

    I boil them up and then leave them overnight in the water.

    Next day the meat is so tender and I separate the meat from the bone and skin and put it into containers for sandwiches, so I then keep the stock that it has made and store that in the fridge, it is so much better and tasty and for a dozen chicken legs I paid $7.39.  That gives me a lot of lovely chicken meat to make some lovely standwiches.

    Better than any sliced chicken salami.

    We can always find some one worse off than ourselves I say and I have found one poor girl in a bad way.

    Mother, 35, with skin so fragile it blisters at the slightest touch reveals she stays up until 2am every day to spend hours bathing and dressing her wounds so she doesn’t lose time with her children 

    Johannesburg woman has skin so fragile it blisters at the slightest touch

    Shirvani Naran, 35, from Johannesburg, was born with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa – an extremely rare and incurable skin condition – which leaves her with blisters at even the smallest contact. She is forced to wrap herself up in bandages like a mummy on a daily basis. She was left with horrifying birth injuries after having her first child. Inset: With her son Luke.

    ‘I made this meal for 30p!’ Twitter users mock Tory MP with pictures of plate of ice, a single Shreddie and a cheese cracker – after he said Britons struggling to feed their families can’t cook or budget 

    Twitter users mock Tory MP who said Brits should be 'able to feed themselves for 30p'

    Social media users from across the UK were quick to mock Ashfield MP Lee Anderson Anderson on Twitter, sharing a host of ‘meals’ which they claimed to have made for 30p. He who earns £84,144 a year as an MP, caused uproar after he claimed that Brits ‘can’t budget’ and there was ‘not this massive use for food banks’ in Britain (pictured left to right, a single piece of cereal; a tiny meal; a plate of ice; inset, an onion; a cracker with cheese).

    On this situation about food I have stopped buying tinned food and make my own items, I don’t even buy Passta sauce and make my own also soups.  Not only is it better for you it is cheaper.

    Totally agree TooT!

    I was hoping we may have had a woman run for office.

    Husband made a comment the other day which I had to chuckle about.

    He said ‘the that Australian males will vote for the biggest Thug’

    I had to chuckle and you know what Toot he is probably so right.

    Drove over to our daughter two days ago with a bag of goodies as they are sick with Covid-19.

    It is a worry how little one gets for $25 in the supermarket these days.

    I seem to get more in IGA though.

    Australians are paying $400 for their groceries as inflation surges at the fastest pace in two decades – and things are expected to get a lot worse. The first interest rate rise in more than a decade is squeezing household budgets, with borrowers paying off a typical $600,000 mortgage facing a $700 surge in their  monthly mortgage repayments within a year. Now prolonged lockdowns in China are expected to push up the global price of imported goods, making the hip pocket pain even worse.

    Poor little boy!

    How an Aussie toddler lost his THUMB on an escalator at a busy shopping centre – as his family relive the horrific moment his tendon was slashed

    • A toddler has severed his thumb in a horror incident involving an escalator
    • Louis Fairchild was on an escalator when a piece of metal sliced his thumb off
    • His mother rushed him to hospital where doctors operated on the boy for hours
    • Anora Fairchild is now calling on shopping centres to inspect escalators closely 

    A toddler has completely severed his right thumb in a horror incident on a shopping centre escalator.

    Louis Fairchild was with his mother Anora travelling up an escalator at Broadway shopping centre in inner Sydney on Saturday when the accident unfolded.

    The young boy was holding onto the rail of the escalator when a sharp piece of metal protruding from underneath the hand rail reportedly sliced off his thumb.

    Louis was rushed to Sydney Children’s Hospital and operated upon. The procedure took several hours, according to his mother.

    The medical staff were unable to save the toddler’s thumb. 

    Louis is currently at home recovering from the ordeal, with further surgical procedures a possibility.

    Anora is now calling on shopping centres to inspect their escalator hand rails closely.

    ‘My family has suffered an unspeakable amount of heartache. Lewis will likely live the rest of his life without using his right thumb,’ she said. 

    ‘We could not have ever imagined a quick trip to our local shopping centre would be our worst nightmare that we can’t wake up from.’ 

    Management at Broadway shopping centre are investigating the incident.

    Lawyers representing the centre are in discussions with the family’s solicitor.   

    Daily Mail Australia has approached Broadway Sydney for comment.

It gradually drifts into an oncoming lane, with a truck just managing to avoid the car (right) by driving on the side of the road. The caravan then flips over (left) as the car clumsily pulls back into the correct lane.

    When I first watched this I thought it was a little cat being resquied!

    Dramatic moment hero clings to the outside of a window 80ft up a tower block to save girl, three, after spotting her hanging from the eighth-floor in Kazakhstan

     

    Sabit Shontakbaev (inset), 37, was on his way to work with a friend when he saw a crowd below staring up at the three-year-old. Her mother had gone shopping and left her home alone in Kazakhstan’s capital Nur-Sultan when she piled up her toys and cushions to climb out of the window. Sabit, a father-of-four, immediately rushed upstairs in a bid save her before she fell to her death. He ran inside the block and went up to the seventh floor, to the flat immediately below where the girl was precariously hanging on. He climbed out of the window below the terrified girl who by then had been holding on for 15 minutes.

    The ‘yellow brick road’ to Atlantis? Deep-sea researchers spot incredible rock formation while exploring the Pacific Ocean floor near Hawaii

    The yellow brick road to Atlantis? Incredible rock formation spotted on ocean floor near

    It may look similar to the yellow brick road in The Wizard of Oz, or perhaps a hidden path to the mythical lost city of Atlantis. But deep-sea researchers who spotted the incredible rock formation say it is actually an example of ancient active volcanic geology on the ocean floor near Hawaii. The strange-looking feature, which also resembles a road paved in cobblestones, was located in the Lili?uokalani Ridge in the Papah?naumokuakea Marine National Monument in the Pacific Ocean.
