Wednesday Edition
Well, hello there, members! Fancy seeing you here on this fine Wednesday morning. How are you all doing today? We hope you're all energised and ready to take on the day! If not, that's okay too. We all have days where we feel a bit down or unmotivated. I (Vella), for example, will be taking it easy today because my body is still sore from all the activities I did on my birthday weekend. My partner and I went to the beach and had the most amazing time! We went surfing, trekking, and of course, food tasting. It was truly an unforgettable weekend, but it did take its toll. So, members, take it easy today if you need to.
But enough about me, let's get into today's activities. To kick things off, we have some great deals from Coles, Woolworths, ALDI and IGA! So go forth and save some money while you're shopping, folks!
And now, onto the riddle! Today's riddle is courtesy of member @Rest1953.
I have five letters to my name. Remove one letter, and I sound the same. Remove one more and one again, and I will still sound the same each time. Nothing is left within my frame.
Ooh, this one is a toughie! If you think you know the answer, head on over to our riddle masters thread here. And if you get the correct answer, you’ll be rewarded with a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter.
