Good morning, dear members! Guess who? 😉 It’s Sethia! I know, I know. The lovely Vella and I have made a little switcheroo. But I’m eager to start the day with a generous serving of news and fun, and I hope you are, too! Let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle, shall we?

Double my number, I'm less than a score. Half of my number is less than four. Add one to my double when bakers are near. Days of the week are still greater, I fear. What am I?

The answer is… the number six! Well done to those who got it correct. You can expect a shout-out below. Now, onto our next segment, ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’. Today’s term is a personal favourite, ‘do it for the plot’. It means being in control of your own narrative. You're the main character of the story that is your life, and even when things go downhill, it’s simply a part of the plot! 😉 Doesn’t that take away the fear of doing just about anything?

Yesterday’s Australia

Tadpole hunting

Do you remember the thrill of playing in a creek and eagerly scooping tadpoles? There’s an undeniable charm to these types of outdoor activities. Even though the jars that housed those tiny critters would smell, it was worth staying up late, hoping to witness the moment when frog legs would eventually emerge! Do you have fond memories of tadpole hunting? Tell us all about it here! If you have other musings to share, we’ll be waiting for your post in the Nostalgia/Yesterday's Australia forum!

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.22 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 $3.22* per day once the rebate has been claimed.
