Am I a bad person because I don't want to grow my own fruit and 'veggies' - I just want to go to the shops and buy them - feel like I have stepped back in time - my god all the girls my age at work are knitting and having tupperware parties - I feel like I am in a time warp! Is all Australia like this or just here in Canberra? Help!!

You have stepped forward in time...one day when you are more enlightened you will understand

Yeah, was thinking the same. The Goode life is definetely the way to go

Oh please!!

Not sure about the knitted boxer shorts though. Bit scratchy

Sorry Yes all people in Canberra are just like those in your workplace and all people in Australia are too....one big timewarp...must go, got a jumper to finish...

I am still buying my veggies and fruit from the local grocers (not the supermarket - ewwwww) and meat from the butchers - but that's only because I haven't yet found my lifestyle block complete with mango tree and enough grass to keep a milk cow and a few fluffy cuddly lambykin thingies (that I will eat when they get big enough).

Get those needles clicking and I'll finish blanching my veggies!!! Give me strength - think I'm cracking up!

Sounds like I'm not alone, thank goodness for that! I want to be able to go to a supermarket and do all my shopping in one place (alcohol and all). I want to be able to go out with mates who don't spend the night discussing recipes and diets and how much healthier i'd be if I gave up meat, or talking about sewing patterns and tupperware and dishcloth parties! I don't want to spend my time gardening, and I can't afford investment properties. Qld is obviously in the same timewarp as Canberra.......

do you not have Ann Summer parties in OZ?

Oh you're my sort of girl! God don't say that though, we are wanting to move to Queensland!!! Is there anywhere safe???

They would faint if I mentioned having an Ann Summers party - if you can't grow it or sew it, it's not worth mentioning!!!!

Stepped back in time?lol Sounds like you're way BEHIND the times to me!You know 30 years ago,I walked out of a supermarket,trolley laden with food,cleaning products ect and figured it was the last time I was going to do that.I revamped the garden,fenced off some for a chook yard,put in some big veggie plots,planted a herb garden,fruit tree's,grapevine,passionfruit vine,you name it I had it!lol I then borrowed some library books on how to make your own eco friendly cleaning products (including yes clothes washing gel)so sorry all this yacking about growing your own,being green is all old hat to us hippy types!The only food type shop I visit now is the butchers!Its very liberating to go back to the basic way of living,its also fullfilling and gives you a sense of being in charge of your life!Did you know you can wash your clothes in the car whilst driving?lol Thats another story!Embrace it,its the way forward!

I've never heard of owt like that here

Don't need it, just go to the sex shop. By the way, that large tartan vibrator you wanted was the owners Thermos flask
