Good morning

Hello and happy Sunday, members! The team and I (Jarred) hope you’re all doing well as you open this newsletter made with you in mind. So, before we get things started, find yourself a cosy spot and maybe even get a steaming hot cuppa to sip on while reading! You’re in for a pleasant morning ahead. Let’s start off with our quote for the week, which was sent in by member Glenda S.:

‘If it’s meant to happen, it will happen. It might not be today, but when the time is right, it will happen.’

Have you been holding onto a desire or goal for a while now, wondering when it will finally come to fruition? The sentiment expressed in this statement can be comforting in its surrender to the universe's timing. It acknowledges that we can't always control everything and must trust that things will fall into place when the time is right. May your deepest wishes and dreams come true at the perfect time.

Now, let’s look at what happened across Australia and around the world this week:

• We saw great deals from Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, & IGA, such as Omo Ultimate Laundry Liquid 2 Litre or Powder 2kg for $14.50 and $19.99 Throw Blankets. You can still grab these today!
• Over 13,000 units of a popular car were recalled earlier this week due to a dangerous engine defect, as were 7,000 of another due to a suspension flaw. Safety concerns also prompted a Bunnings buy and a supermarket dessert to be urgently pullout from shelves. Don’t miss these!
• Farewell, legends: An iconic soap opera star passed at 66 after a battle with cancer, and a presenter fondly dubbed Australia’s first TV weatherman also passed at 94. May they rest in peace.
