message 19501: by Kathryn (new)

Kathryn | 3569 comments I might try the Vegemite chocolate - I just wish when they release things like this that they'd release them in a bar size rather than a block - so annoying to buy a block only to find it tastes awful!

But it's not just Vegemite in the chocolate, it's caramel as well. If the amount if Vegemite isn't too much (and if they asked most Aussies, I'm sure they'd say to keep the amount minimal) and the caramel outweighs the Vegemite, it mightn't be much different to salted caramel - the salt is mostly what I taste with Vegemite anyway!

Thanks for asking, Vicki, he's going well. It's a week since he was cardioverted for the 2nd time. Last time, he relapsed after 10 days, so we'll see what Monday brings. But he is on different meds now, so fingers crossed.

Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Look into getting a car loan for a brand new car since I'm getting a bit tired of my poor old 80's Mazda breaking in different ways every now and then. Scary stuff :(

Liam, try a bank first, the finance companies will charge you an arm and a leg in interest.

Ryan Good advice B. It's too easy to fall into the consumer debt trap.

Suz | 4439 comments I just took a screen shot of my 'need to buy' list and sent it with my daughter as she goes off to the movies with her friend today. I wonder what I'll end up with tomorrow morning? I guess I'll have to send her with $100 dollars though!!

I look after the web and social media for a Holden and Mitsubishi dealership and have just posted a special, which involves Esanda finance at 7.99% per annum. I'm not sure about other banks, but that's a lot lower than the current NAB personal of 13.39% pa. Of course, I haven't read the fine print. :)

Trying to sleep on a hot night is quite impossible


message 19530: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9989 comments I bought some of those Lindt Salted Caramel balls today. They were on special so I got a pack of 5 for me and for my sister with whom I am going on a charity walk tomorrow. Neither of us is a mother, but we still deserve a treat! Mum will get a big box of Lindt truffles.

I'm not a mother either. Do I get some, too? ;-P

Enjoy your walk tomorrow!


message 19533: by Marianne (new)

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9989 comments Absolutely you do! Take yourself down to Coles/BiLo where they are 2 (packets of 5) for $6. Or pop up here and I will share mine with you. Long way to come for a chocolate, though!

Thanks. I might have to pass -- the nearest Coles/BiLo is a 100-km return trip. Have one for me. :)

I survived - fortunately, we just splurged on AC a few weeks back :)
I am not meant for the heat lol. However, I have some members of my family who adore going to Australia in the dead of summer and sweltering - seriously.

They're having snow and ice at the moment Melissa; always cooler/colder there...and their summers are much shorter than the average:)
