Hello, SDC family, and welcome to the splendid end of the week! Wow! Time sure does fly when you're having fun… and staying busy, I (Vella) suppose. Speaking of busy, it's been quite a week here at the SDC headquarters—we've been cooking up exciting new things, including our premium membership, SDC Rewards. It’s now live and ready for you to enjoy! For just $5.99 per month or $49.95 per year, you'll have access to fewer ads, weekly rewards, exclusive content and more.

With that, let me take a moment to give a massive shout-out to our first-ever SDC Rewards members: Shoggle, Happyhawk, QuiteAchiver, IJT, mgliksman, Suzanne rose, mbj, Helen171, Starry, Tisme47, GWW69, Lemon, and Dennis. Your continuous support means the world to us, and we can’t thank you enough. You have all inspired us to reach new heights and deliver the best possible experience for our community. Now, let’s jump straight into the last riddle of the week:

In a stable, there are men and horses. In all, there are 22 heads and 72 feet. How many men and horses are in the stable?

Ha! This one should get your grey matter going! Do you reckon you've got the answer? Hop over to the riddle masters thread here. If you get it correct, we'll give you a shout-out in tomorrow's newsletter.

Yesterday’s Australia

What was your favourite childhood toy?

Do you remember your favourite childhood toy? Member @Suzanne rose certainly does, and her post about her favourite dolls as a kid, Giggles and Velvet, took us on a joyful trip down memory lane. From action figures to stuffed animals, these toys became our confidants, listening to our secrets and making our childhoods magical. Oh, the joy of holding those enchanting companions in our tiny hands! How about you? What was your favourite childhood toy? Tell us here. And if you have other memories you’d like to share with us, post them on our 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.

Sunlit fuchsia in my garden

Member @Jan A shared a stunning photo of a sunlit fuchsia in their garden, and it's nothing short of breathtaking! The lovely hues of the fuchsia flower bathed in golden sunlight create a mesmerising display of colours. This shot reminds us to pause, appreciate, and marvel at Mother Nature’s exquisite details. Thank you, member @Jan A for sharing. And if you have pictures you’d love to share with us, please feel free to post on our Photography forum!
