Evening Wattlers...:>))) You have Wattlelotto Email.....love from Joodle. Census man just delivered forms here also.......thank goodness i knew how to spell my surname......:>))))....... ( unlike some of our ancestors ).........lol SusyQ..Yes..its box 60 mate Also...i noticed..you can fill out the 2006 census on the Internet, rather than the delivered form, if you were asked ( by the Census man ) if you have the Internet connected. You would have received a small sealed envelope * Complete your Census form online*. Lara. Good luck with the Bocci game. Shazz. Hope your feeling better soon mate. Leah Edge. Are you still on the Wattle thread mate, as the last few times i sent Lotto...it bounced back. Av a good un. Tony Oz......:>))) * Time for Tea *

Hi all, just a quick note before guests arrive. That baby's got to be pink, keeping us waiting all day, lol. Poor Sophie and 3C. Hugs to both puddy tats. Trifles, you bargain hunter, you! Oops, guests are arriving. I'll catch up tomorrow. Lew Lew xxx *pink, pink, pink'

Evening Wattlers I've had another lovely day out today. I went with Graeme and Mark to the Westfield shopping centre at Helensvale. One of them walked either side of me to run interference against the hoards. It's amazing how many times you can get bumped into by shoppers. The boys have been wonderful over the past 2 days.....going to the shops to help me get over 'cabin-fever'. Had a couple of good finds too. A pack of 5 DVD's of the George Burns & Gracie Allen show, a real clasic for only $10 and 2 Star Trek movies for only $4:92 each. Also a bargain if you like those things like we do. Shaz...healing hugs. I hope you feel better. SuzyQ...a nice healing pat for your dog. When they are sick it's a worry isn't it? Lara....fingers XXX'd for your Bocci game. Laurie...any news about the new bub? It's gotta be a girl to have Den's spirit. Found a lovely shop today....it's called 'Dusk' and sells candles! Lots of perfumed, pretty candles....you'd love it! Lew...how are the olives going? Will they be big enough to flower this spring. Waves~~~to everyone. I'll check back after Housie. love Trifley X

Hiya all . . . Just got in - had a lovely lunch at Pink Diamond Chinese, then called out to see Shaz . . . Mad as ever, take more than tum trubs to get that one down . . .

Will keep you updated!! Best go get some jobs done the lovely Ray will be home soon. cheers luv Laurie

Afternoon all, Just back from the library where I got out two books: 'The Idiots Guide to Geneaology' and the 'Idiot's Guide to Writing Family History' (hee hee) Should make interesting reading tonight. Where's our pink baby?? Shazz, I hope you are better, bit worrying. Will be back later on. need to empty the dishwasher, to fill it again to clean the kitchen to find the benches to make the dinner..... Vonny

Hi Sandra, yes the Penrith Hogs Breath was ok - tho I think the St Mary's one was better - I had a dearer steak there, that could be the reason. .. I did you all proud by having the most delish sweets. .. Some sort of pecan thing. .. It was in a long tall glass with about 3' cream piped on top with choc also piped in swirls. .. Under that was beautiful icecream, then the pecan whatever it was. .. Absolutely to die for. .. I didnt talk much while I was eating it! Now I have to go for dinner at my daughters place for dinner. ... Uhmm, I'm not tooo hungry. .. It's still cold. .. Its going to be even colder where I'm going, and they only have a wood fire, brrrrrr. .. At least the car is warm and I'll take an extra jacket. .. No pink baby yet? Jood

Hi All, Hope all you sick people are feeling better, it's been quite cold in the Gong today. Jood hope the Hogs breath was good, I heard bad reports about the one in the Gong maybe yours will be better??. Mary silly me i got my weeks muddled up must have been one of those moments. no news of a baby yet then Laurie?? Yvette you don't have to dress up to much at the Star City, people wear all sorts of gear there, I'm going for comfort, sitting on a train for a while you need comfort.lol. Well i'm off now have a good evening all. Cheers Sandra in the Gong.

Hi Gwenda, Yes Sophie has been a real worry for us, I am watching her like a hawk. Once she is recovered i think we will need to change some of her habits, like wanting to go out at night. We have problems getting the dog into the vets. We had to change a few years ago because after spending a night in the hospital we couldn't get her back through the door. Now we can get her in, but not into the consulting room. She doesn't mind going for a bath though. I think pets are a bit like kids, the ones who are left to fend for them selves don't seem to get things wrong, the ones that are molly coddled get everything. Luv SuzyQ

Hi Mary - census night is Tuesday. Got our papers today too Lara - you are funny - no need to rub in just how warm it is where you are - it's only about 6 here and even if there was a beach close by I wouldn't be dippin' me toes - lol SuzyQ - hope Sophie keeps improving but can imagine what you are going thru hoping she doesn't hurt herself - our 3C had her op yesterday and is very much a different puss cat at present - so quiet - she keeps hiding on me and I don't think she's eaten much so I'm a bit anxious too. She keeps giving me strange looks - guess she won't be keen to go back in the carry crate on Monday when she goes for her check-up - she'll have that look that says 'do you think I'm stupid or what' and it was so easy getting her in there yesterday - lol Wonder if we've got a pink baby yet????

Kerrie Acording to GR you have 810 people in your tree...Have they dissapeared .. I would say it is GR who have mucked you up so keep emailing them..till you get an answer... Nice to see you here and I hope we can help you with your research.. Are you in OZ or in the UK.. We are a friendly mob and love a laugh... Lara Nice to see you hun.. Sounds like a good social life at that caravan park. Am in need of a holiday and when we have settled in and all our visitors have gone we will head back down to Dunolly,, When the weather gets warmer a little..I havent forgotten you Days, O'Days,Kavanahs and oooppppssss that is all I can remember.. better remind me again.. Got to the stage that I cant do much more as we need some things for everyday use..and cant be packed. 1 week today is the big move...Fantastic...I will do my best to get to the meet even if it is just for a quick lunch...I got to meet all the Wattlers as I love them all...I gotta meet Tassie as I feel I have known her for so long,, we go back a long way ... it will be lovely to meet her in person.. Havent got our forms yet but it is the last question on the sheet that says do you want to preserve your records or something like that. Otherwise they will be trashed. When is census night.. monday or tuesday.. we will be in the unit on wednesday.night.. Well must go so back later Love Maryxxx

Good Afternoon Wattlers Its a bit cool here today and beconming overcast. Sophie is a little better today, she is just starting to walk a little, now I am worried she might fall down the stairs. Good excercise as I keep running up and down the stairs to check on her. Laurie, is the pink one arrived yet? We are all waiting with baited breath. Such good news after all the bad. Trifley you are quiet today, still spending? Pam, you must be very busy, we haven't got our forms yet, but my vegie lady is bringing mine so I may get it today. I understand that some people have already filled them out on line and it shouldn't be done until Tuesday think. Well it's the web sites fault for allowing it too soon. I wouldn't fancy my chances of getting on on Tuesday night any way. Is it box 60 that I tick? Everyone is very quiet these days, where are you all. Mary, won't be long now, are you moving on census day? I have just printed my family tree from GR, first time, now I will have to glue it all together and work out who is missing gotta go census is here Luv SuzyQ

Hi Kerrie some of us are smarter than others darlin and I'm not of that group but I did do a name search on your name and got no results so if you have yourself on your tree its definatly not there , send them an eamail every few minutes till they answer you is my advice it will be a nuisnace and they will then try to help you but somebody else may have a better suggestion kind regards Lara
