Wednesday Edition
Good morning, members, and welcome to yet another delightful Wednesday! How’s your week going so far? We hope it’s been filled with love and laughter. I (Vella) am back from a fun-filled holiday with renewed energy and enthusiasm for life. Did you all miss me? Well, it’s amazing how breaking away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life can reinvigorate us and make us appreciate the little things. So what happened on my recent holiday? Well, a lot of swimming, eating, island hopping, and just taking in the beauty of nature.
Of course, I wouldn't forget the answer to the game I left you with last week: Where in the world is Vella? A lot of you guessed Vietnam and Thailand, but the correct answer is the Philippines! I was in El Nido, Palawan, to be exact. It was absolutely gorgeous. There
were over 40 islands to explore, and the waters were so clear you could see the fish swimming around. It was just magical. I recommend it to anyone looking for a holiday destination.
I know while I was away, Maddie asked you lot to help her come up with a tagline for the SDC! Well, the whole team sat down and picked their top 10 favourite SDC Taglines and we are taking it to a vote here on the forum! Which of these 10 taglines is your favourite?
Now, let's move on to today's activities. As always, we've rounded up the best deals from Coles, Woolies, ALDI, and IGA to make your grocery shopping a little lighter on the wallet. Don't miss out on these bargains!
Next up, it's time to get your brain working with this week’s second riddle. This one is thanks to member Hazel S…
Little Miss Etticoat, in a white petticoat and a red nose; the longer she stands, the shorter she grows. What is she?
Ooh, we love the rhyme! What do you think, folks? Can you figure it out? If you think you have the answer, head on over to our riddle masters thread here. Crack the code, and you’ll earn yourself a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!

But before I let you get to it, I just want to remind you that the majority of health insurers will be increasing their premiums by an average of 2.90% in about a few days' time*. This means that a lot of you could be paying on average anywhere between $167 and $194 extra per year on your health insurance*. We know this isn't money you have 'lying around'. So to see how much you can save before April 1, why not try comparing your health insurance?* If you don't save any money, don't change insurers! But what happens if you could save hundreds? Compare and save today*.
