Well, hello there, dear members! It's Thursday, and I (Vella), am absolutely SHIT—yes, that's ‘So Happy It's Thursday’! 😉 How are you today? Have you been up with the birds, or are you still groggy from sleep? Well, we're just glad to have you here. Now, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle.

A man was found dead out in a snowfield. The only tracks that were left were a set of footprints between two parallel lines. Who should the police be looking for?

The police should be looking for a man in a wheelchair! If you got the answer correct, stick around, and you’ll find a shout-out at the end of this newsletter. Next, time for a Fascinating Fact! Did you know that The Beatles used to be known as Johnny & the Moondogs? It's true!

Who still remembers their childhood toys? Member @Suzanne rose does, and she shared, ‘I remember I had this exact toy cash register which was tin. When I was little, I wanted to work in a shop.’ These classic toys brought so much fun and imagination to everyone's childhoods. Kids would pretend to run their own store, stacking groceries and scanning items or playing with cool toys like metal cars, marbles, and board games for hours. What were some of your favourite toys back in the day? Tell us here. If you have memories to share, do so on the Nostalgia/Yesterday’s Australia forum!

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.
