Saturday Edition

Want to hear from us only once a week? Click here to get the Sunday only send.

Rise and shine, folks! Welcome to another splendid Saturday! What have you got planned for today? I (Vella) am looking forward to trying a new recipe; fingers crossed it turns out edible! Do you have something exciting planned for today? Perhaps a walk in the park, or just a relaxing day at home with a good book? Whatever it may be, I hope you really enjoy it. Now, let’s reveal the answer to yesterday’s riddle:

Every night, I’m told what to do, and each morning I do what I’m told. But I still can’t escape your scold. What am I?

And the answer is... an alarm clock! Congratulations to those who got it correct. Scroll down to the bottom of this newsletter for your shout-out! Moving on to our next segment, ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ Today, we're decoding the term ‘beast mode’. No, it’s not about monsters or wild animals; ‘beast mode’ describes an individual's highly energetic style, used in a competitive context. So, when your grandkids say they're in ‘beast mode’, they're giving their best shot at whatever they're doing.

Yesterday’s Australia

Old backyard BBQs

Image Source: Facebook/Australia Remember When

Remember when the sizzling summer afternoons were spent grilling burgers and hotdogs on one of these iconic grills? They used to be a big, rugged part of the backyard but were the star of family gatherings and outdoor feasts. These grills cooked the best-tasting BBQs. Do you remember cooking on these old grills? Tell us here. If this stroll down memory lane has you feeling sentimental, don't hesitate to share your memories on our 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.
