These ones I have been watchin...

RE: Changing 3 way absorption fridge to compressor unit
(Preview)

Solar blankets - a rip off?

)

E-bay feedback on many vendors strongly suggest they are simply lying about the blanket's output often suggesting twice, or more!, what the blanket is capable of.

Here are some examples which, to my mind, are inconsistent and/or contradictory:- 2008 Mitsubishi 380 - kerb weight 1,665 kgs - engine power 175 kw / 343 nm - towing capacity 1,600 kgs 2...

Woolworth mobile phone plans - worth a look, I suggest

I've just switched my phone to a Woolworth plan simply because they are offering a 10% discount on shopping once a month. I have been a Woolworth shopper for years and prefer them to Coles and they are generally one hell of a lot cheaper than IGAs; I spend around $400 to $500 per month on food (I eat well :) )...

Trend to non loadding sharing caravan suspension
