Wednesday Edition

Good morning

Well, hello there everyone! Welcome to another fabulous Wednesday! How's everyone doing this morning? Ready to tackle the day? No? We don't blame you. It can be hard to get up and get going the morning after Valentine's Day. Did you all have a good day yesterday? We hope you had a wonderful time celebrating with loved ones and creating special memories. I (Vella) had a great time – I bought my mum, dad, and sister some flowers and they were so touched. I also sent them the special Valentine's Day card that we designed for you all. Did yousend it to anyone special?

It is important to remember that showing your love to your family, friends, and your partner is something you should do all year round, not just on Valentine’s Day. So, remember to show appreciation to those who matter to you every day. Members, we don’t get to say it enough but thank you for being a part of the Senior Discount Club family. We are grateful to have a community of individuals willing to come together and share their stories, advice, and wisdom. We are so lucky to have you all!

Now, let's move on to today's activities. We have your weekly deals from Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, and IGA to help you save money while you’re doing your weekly shop.

And, of course, we’ve also got our second riddle of the week. We made sure to pick a tough one this time, so get those thinking caps on! Here it goes:

Four letters form me quite complete, as all who breathe do show; reversed, you'll find I am the seat of infamy and woe. Transposed, you'll see I'm base and mean, again of Jewish race; transposed once more, I oft am seen to hide a lovely face. What are the five words?

Now that's a tricky one! I'm excited to see what answers you all come up with. If you think you’ve got the correct answer, head on over to our riddle masters thread here. Anyone who gets the correct answer will be rewarded with a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!

Now, what’s happening in Australia and around the world today?
