Monday’s Child nursery rhyme

Image Source: Member @Babybird

Who here remembers the good ol' Monday's Child nursery rhyme from school? It supposedly tells a child's character or future based on their day of birth. It was also a sneaky way to help kids remember the seven days of the week! Member @Babybird recently shared a photo that got us all feeling nostalgic. So, folks, which child did you fall under in the rhyme back then? And did the description match your character or future in any way? If this stroll down memory lane has you feeling extra sentimental, don't hesitate to share more of your memories from the past 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.

Sunrise at Nambeelup, WA

There's this magical quality to sunrises that's hard to put into words… It could be those breathtaking colours that paint the sky or the tranquil hush surrounding you at that early hour, right before the world wakes up and gets moving. Sorry for rambling, but I just came across this lovely sunrise photo from member @Pridar, and it melted my heart! Do you have fantastic shots like this? If you do, please don't be shy to share them on our Photography forum!
