Yesterday I picked up some maple walnut flavoured yogurt ice cream from the supermarket. It's 30% less fat than regular ice cream and wow, it's amazing, especially if maple walnut is one of your favourite flavours. It's a great dessert idea for those watching their calories, try to stick to half cup portions. I think I did 3/4 cup last night!
Today, I received a new debit card with a chip implanted in it. It's supposed to be more secure.
We don't do a lot of online shopping, but last night M ordered some electrical cables online and it says it will arrive today for an unbelievable price including shipping. We used paypal, and that may be more secure than using your credit card directly. Maybe online shopping is the new way to go, if we get used to it. It would be a real time saver for certain things. Being cautious, we're typically not the first ones to embrace new technology. And online shopping has come a long way.

Christine, we received chip-and-pin debit cards when we moved to England. They do seem more secure. In the US, I only used my ATM (debit) card to get cash. Now I use my debit card instead of cash! BTW, I have been shopping online for years--I love it! But we still hit the stores for things that we wear. Our bank monitors our spending and will call if anything seems out of line. Unfortunately they called last week after I ordered something a little, um, pricey for Mr. DJ's birthday present. Doubly unfortunately, they called HIM who in turn called me. I had to call the bank to tell them it really was me spending too much money on my husband's birthday present--haha! It actually was pretty funny. And no, the surprise wasn't blown entirely... I hope! We'll see on Saturday :-)
that is a good story about Mr DJ's present, hope he likes it! And for sure, he's worth every penny.
Once, my husband's credit card was involved in a fraudulent transaction for real, and they wouldn't speak to me, they wanted to talk directly to him, in case he had really made the charge and didn't want me to know.
