How did the Federal Budget help your cost of living.
(closed)
(Preview)
The Federal Budget only delivered the tax break and the $300 electricity bonus to us. By the way, we could survive without the grant of the $300. What about you? How did you go? Jay&Dee -- Edited by JayDee on Wednesday 15th of May 2024 06:50:56 AM

Before flat screen Tv's in caravans.
(Preview)
What did folks use for watching Tv in a van? In the old days, probably before about 2003 or so. I can't remember before my caravan days. I couldn't imagine having the old type big box in a van. Were modern style antennas available back then.
