Happy Saturday, everyone! I (Vella) am thrilled to kick off the weekend with all of you. Any exciting plans for today? As for me, it's cleaning day, and while I wouldn't call it exciting, I find great satisfaction in doing it (except for when it’s time to clean the bathroom). Thankfully, we've got countless SDC cleaning tips to help. I also came across a post from member @GillyH about an ALDI cleaning product for tackling grout dirt. How about you? Any cleaning products you swear by? Share your favourites here. Now, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday's riddle:

Three different doctors said that Paul is their brother, yet Paul claims he has no brothers. Who is lying?

Well? No one is lying because the three doctors are Paul’s sisters! If you got it correct, you'll find a shout-out further down this newsletter.

Smarties

Who remembers indulging in Smarties as a kid? Known for their crunchy shells and bursts of chocolate goodness, these colourful confections were originally called ‘chocolate beans’ in the 1880s. Then, it became ‘Milk Chocolate in a Crisp Sugar Shell’ in 1937, before finally adopting the name we all know today. Do you have fond memories of savouring these treats? Tell us here. If you have similar photos and memories to share, head to our forum and post away.

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.20 per day with no lock in contracts*.

It’s no secret that the current cost of living is hurting us all, and we need to find ways to ‘cut the fat’ wherever we can. But did you know that in 2023, the cost of health insurance increased by an average of $167* for Aussies over 65 who weren't with one of the 'big 5 funds'? For those older Aussies who were with one of the 'big 5 funds', their health insurance increased by $194*.

What you may not realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital and extras cover comes in at $22.54* a week, or $3.20* per day once the rebate has been claimed.

Seeing Double

Member @Manjucus couldn't believe their luck when they saw these beautiful butterflies at the Coffs Harbour Butterfly House. Their stance and the patterns on their wings are almost identical; It’s as if there's a mirror in between them! Thank you so much, member @Manjucus, for sharing! If you have fantastic photos too, don’t be shy! Head over to our Photography forum and post them.
