Monday Edition

Good morning

Good morning, members! And a very happy Monday to you all. Ah, Monday, it’s good to have you back! I absolutely love Mondays here at the Seniors Discount Club not just because I get to write the Monday newsletter (although that is one of the reasons) it’s mostly because I get to challenge you lot with the first riddle of the week. And you know what? I’m feeling like taking things to another level today, and maybe making today’s riddle a little bit harder than normal… So good luck with this one, folks. 😉

You have 6 eggs. You broke 2, cooked 2 and you ate 2 eggs. How many do you have left?

I’ll be the first to admit, this one went completely over my head. So have a good think about this one, ladies and gents. If you think you know the answer to this riddle, post it on our forum here. If you get the answer correct, you’ll score yourself a shout-out in tomorrow morning’s newsletter. So get those brains into gear, members!

Now, what’s happening across the world and around Australia today?

• This $9.99 ALDI gadget is receiving raving reviews online with Aussies claiming that it’s a must-have because it makes your laundry routine a whole lot easier!

• A Mercedes driver is taking legal action after a couple allegedly damaged his car while they were getting um, ‘hot and heavy’. Would you do the same in his situation?

• An incredibly clever couple have transformed an old Coca-Cola truck into their dream home and we’ve never seen anything quite like it. Do you think homes like this are the way of the future?
• You might be seeing far bigger labels on your favourite supermarket items after researchers found that the majority of Aussies ignore food warning labels on items that are damaging to their health. So will this stop you from buying junk food?
• The driver of a Holden ute has been fined more than $1000 for a bizarre modification they made. I have truly never seen anything like this, have you?
• A professional cleaner has revealed how you should be cleaning a bathroom from start to finish, and I won’t lie, members, I definitely don’t take all of these steps in my regular clean. Do you?
• A terminally ill great grandfather is suing a Melbourne nursing home over the death of his beloved late wife, after she fell from a chair. ‘It should never have happened.’
• Are you bored of having the same breakfast day in and day out? Well, our very own April B. has shared a recipe for overnight Weetbix. Will you be giving it a try?
• ‘Don’t get married.’ We bet you haven’t put much thought into this unexpected danger in marriage. Members, don’t read this one while eating. Graphic content inside.

• What are the chances the friend you betrayed is listening to the radio station you’re asking for advice? Is this karma or a careful marketing ploy?
