Tuesday Edition

Good morning

Goooooood morning, members! We’ve got an extra spring in our step today because it’s our first official day back in the office, and my, oh, my, it’s good to be back. We hope you enjoyed our ‘holiday programming’, but we are back on normal scheduling as of today. That means you can expect your riddles on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Your weekly grocery deals on Wednesdays, your ‘fun fact’ on Thursdays, your ‘what would the grandkids say’ on Saturdays, and your quote of the week followed by a weekly wrap-up on Sundays.

Not to mention, our afternoon newsletters are also back! You can expect one to land in your inbox this afternoon. Wow, we’ve really started with a bang, haven’t we? 😉

Now, without further ado. What’s happening across Australia and around the world today?

• Are those expensive designer handbags even worth the price? A leather expert put popular brands to the test and the results are shocking.
• Are you cleaning your dishwasher correctly, if at all? This five-step deep clean routine is what your dishwasher needs to keep your dishes sparkling!
• Forget making lemonade out of your lemons! Try making these three cleaning solutions to keep your home nice and fresh.
• Can faking a smile make you happier? A new study has discovered some interesting results.
• Kmart shoppers are raving about this must-have $45 kitchen gadget claiming ‘my only regret is that I should have gotten it a long time ago’.
• Is this going to be what our future looks like? One woman has shared how convenient her ‘biohack’ is, but the internet is NOT on board.
• There is nothing worse than when your fresh produce goes rotten in the fridge, is there? Well, worry no more. This woman has a tip for keeping all of your fresh produce fresher for longer!
• One family has shared their disgraceful discovery at their Airbnb that ruined their entire holiday. ‘You just convinced me to never use Airbnb again. Ever.’
• A woman who was ‘innocently’ taking out her bins has received a scathing note from her neighbour. Who is in the wrong?
• A Queensland woman has lost $14,000 to scammers and wants other Australians to learn from her horrific ‘digital wallet’ experience.
• Finally, do you have any ham, cheese and potatoes lying around? This ham, cheese and potato wheel is for you!

And that’s a wrap of your Tuesday morning news, folks! Remember, those of you who are subscribed to our afternoon newsletters will receive one this afternoon. But regardless, there is still plenty to enjoy this morning! Including a very special ‘Yesterday’s Australia’ segment thanks to member @Marj53, a beautiful ‘Picture of the Day’ thanks to member @Suzanne rose, and some interesting ‘On this day’ facts! Like did you know, it was today back in 1976 that Evonne Goolagong Cawley took out the Australian Open Women’s Tennis title?

As always, we have all the usual games and puzzles for you to enjoy including our 3x3 Word Thread, Word Pairs and Abbreviation Game for some fun brain training? We also have our classic games, including Word Association Game, Rearrange, Add or Subtract Word Game! Keep a Word, Drop a Word Game, and Can you name 5? As well as our Sudoku puzzles, OzGrid and OzWord. And our card games, including Solitaire and Blackjack.
