Monday Edition
And happy Monday to you! How are we all doing this morning? Hopefully you’re feeling ready and raring to go for the week ahead, and if you aren’t, we have just the fix! That’s right, our first riddle of the week folks, here we go (again!)
Although she is still quite young, Babs was becoming increasingly shy about her age. When a friend inquired on her birthday to see how old she was, Babs replied with: "It's a number of years of which one half, one quarter and one seventh added to 3, equals itself." How old is Babs?
Ooooh ladies and gents, you know how much we love giving you a challenging riddle to start the week off with. So good luck with getting this one correct, it’s a bit too “maths” for us, but we think you lot might have a chance? If you think you have the answer, post it here on our forum and if you get it correct, we’ll give you a (very) well deserved shout out in tomorrow’s newsletter. A big thanks to member Suzi H. for sharing this riddle with us! Oh and if you have any riddles you’d like to see featured in the newsletter, send them through to us here!

Russell Hobbs 7L Slow Cooker $49 @ Catch*
I’m not going to lie to you members, I’m a little bit jealous because I bought this exact slow cooker last year for $69.95 which is its normal retail price, but you can grab it today for only $49! It’s a fantastic slow cooker for myself and my partner and can make huge meals (it can handle 7L), we use it to slow cook everything from Butter Chicken, to Mexican and even Lamb Ragu. In the colder months it’s our knight in shining armour! Get in quick members, I’m sure this price won’t stay around for long.
