Good morning

Rise and shine, members! How's everyone feeling? I (Vella) feel like today calls for a little 'me time'. Whether it's a peaceful walk outdoors or simply a moment to relax, remember to prioritise your well-being today. And, of course, a bit of retail therapy can help, too! 😉 So don’t forget to take a peek at this week's grocery specials from Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, and IGA. Next, your midweek riddle:

I have a head and a tail that will never meet. Having too many of me is always a treat. What am I?
