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.
I like salted caramel. I like chilli chocolate. I LOOOVE salted licquorice!!Vegemite and chocolate, no, not going to foul my tastebuds with that!

That's a good hint idea Veronica ;)
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 :(

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

It is shockingly humid in Vancouver today - I do not like it :(
I feel sorry for you. It's cold in the mornings here but hotter in the afternoon.

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. :)

Same here, especially when you're snuggled in a warm bed on a cold night.

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.

When that happens I feel like I'm sleeping near a volcano.

Enjoy your walk tomorrow!
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!

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.

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!
