Monday Edition
Good Morning lovely members! How are we all doing today? Well we hope! And if you aren’t feeling too great and you want to talk to someone, remember we are always here for a chat. And if you aren’t much of a talker, we also recommend heading to our website. We must admit it never fails to make us smile because so many members are always posting hilarious jokes, incredible photos and even music recommendations which always lifts our mood.
Now we know what you came here for this morning, and it’s to solve the first riddle of the week! Today’s riddle was sent in by the lovely Suzi H. Thanks Suzi for this challenging one…
When Deke Hay's five sons turned out their pockets, they discovered that they had 18 toffees between them. No two boys had the same total of toffees. And no single boy's tally was as great as any three boy's combined. How many toffees had each lad tucked away?
We weren’t joking about this riddle being challenging, eh? Take your time figuring out this one. If you think you’ve got the correct answer, post it here in our forum. And as always, If you get the answer correct, you’ll get a shout out on the house in tomorrow’s newsletter. Now that’s something to look forward to, isn’t it?
Now, what’s happening across Australia and around the world today?

Ortega Home Velvet Hangers 24-Pack $12.99 @ Catch*
Who here is a bit of a stickler for matching hangers? It drives me absolutely mad when my partner brings home those metal dry cleaning hangers and hangs his clothes up in the wardrobe with them still on, rather than our lovely black velvet hangers. If you’re like myself, then you’ll love this 24-pack of black velvet hangers for only $12.99! Get in quick members, because at this price we are sure these will sell out fast.

Breakfast is served
This incredible photograph was posted on our forum by the lovely member Ron (@SX2002). He posted it along with the caption “Discovered this girl in our garden yesterday, a Garden Orb Weaver. She likes to take a risk as she was in her web until almost lunch time. They are normally out only in the dark and hide in a nearby bush during the day so they don't get eaten by a bird. This is the spider and web you might walk into if you are wandering around your garden when it's dark. Pretty harmless though like most spiders and if you get a
bite, it's probably not as bad as a Bee sting.” Thanks for sharing Ron!

They say that the meaning of life can be found in a bottle.
I have not found that bottle yet, but I am enjoying the search.
A big thanks to Marice P. for this joke! When I read this aloud in the office everyone burst into laughter. This is a classic!
