Hi Take 5ers, we've received the following message from Tayla* who asks: At the op shop, I spotted a beautiful set of wooden plates and bowls I really needed. A woman in front of them was loudly talking about “thrift flipping,” her cart overflowing with dishware. When I asked if she wanted the set, she snapped, “yes,” and told me to get lost. Later, I saw she’d moved on and left the dishes on the shelf, so I put them in my cart. She came back yelling that I’d “stolen” from her and was hurting her business. I said she’d left them there and refused to give them to her. But after I took the set home, I felt quite guilty. What should I do? *Name has been changed.

Hi Take 5ers, we've received the following message from Xenya* who asks: I’ve got a magpie problem of a different sort. It’s not swooping that worries me — it’s that one keeps coming into my backyard, stealing the pegs off my clothesline, and then dropping them on the roof. Now I’ve got a chorus of clattering every time the wind blows, plus no pegs when I go to hang the washing. Short of negotiating with him over a cuppa, how do I stop being outsmarted by a bird? *Name has been changed. Note: responses and headshots may be used in the magazine.

‘In simple terms, worrying is the activity of going over and over something again and again in your head. Being anxious is worrying amped up another notch, where it also manifests in bodily sensations and feelings,’ Patrea O'Donoghue tells Take 5.
