Hi Sandra, I won't laugh about getting the rabbit in, I do the same for my chooks everyday. Jood, Happy birthday for tomorrow incase I don't get back. If it isn't tomorrow have a happy day anyway. Luv SuzyQ

Afternoon Wattlers. Jill, yes I agree the Phantom was better in Sydney than London. and yes we went to Leigh-on-Sea the last visit to UK and brought the cockles, whelks from the seafood shop there, we love the cockles but I am not a lover of the whelks but hubby does as well as jellies eels., we went to the end of Southend pier on the train. Yes love Rock Salmon was always a favourite of mine. Shazz hope your feeling better, if you have divertuticulitas(not sure on spelling) my mother had it a few years back it is a blockage of the pouches of the bowel so the doc said anyway eat more fibre is what they said lol, but it is very painful. Who asked about a birthday tomorrow I think it may be our Jood? Tassie. Glad your nan's surprise went well, you were worried about remembering all our names on the 12th I am sure most will get a name tag for the day????? Time to get the rabbit in before the sun goes down now don't laugh. Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Hi Lew, Your juicer working okay then???

Naughty Girl, SuzyQ. For breakfast I had cereal and a glass of grapefruit juice and for lunch I had one muffin with some homemade celery and asparagus soup! Sorry, but I've been busy with a transcription for Jood and Laurie. Dr Lew x

I wondered where my dieting buddy was. You have been no help at all today. Just had to finish off a bag of cheese and onion chips. You got any pills to stop me from eating?LOL Your Idle working mans wife.

My grandma died of consumption in 1922 she was 36. My dad was about 4 and his youngest brother was only 2 It was a terrible disease. I can remember being inoculated against it when I was 15. Eventually al the sanitariums were closed down in England but were opened up again when the Pakistanis and Indians started to come in in the 50's.. Tb is still a killer in some third world countries.

Greetings Lorraine from the sanest member on this thread. Don't listen to a word those naughty people have to say, as most of them should spend more time basketweaving! Dr Lew, MD, PhD

Next I found Christopher in Jail as a prison inmate.. I went looking for his death as I couldnt find him anywher and yes he died in 1865 age 31 where back in the workhouse...What a sad life he must have had..I felt I really needed to find him as I never knew he existed until I started looking for my ancestors. On the cert it says he died of ??it looks like Phihisis...can anyone tell me what that is.. Well better get back to work See ya later Love maryxxx

Hi Jood and all, I am located in Baldivis at the moment, I say at the moment because we are always wanting to move even though we have been in this house 3 months. My hubby Shane knows Barry Cable but not related, even though we say uncle Barry. I originally come from London and came to Australia in 1981 and Shane and I have been married 8 years, he has taken me back to England 3 times since then to see my rellies, mainly my mother and I was lucky enough to see her just before she died 2 years ago. I am now waiting for some of my lot to come and visit me. As for my health, I have managed to get into see the Dr this afternoon, I think it's all the pills I am taking that have made me sick this last time, so will try and get that sorted. I too can be quite mad and like a laugh and joke so I should fit right in, a. See you all later Lorraine

It's okay Trifley, I am never likely to be a granny, was never a mummy. My cousin, David, who is now 54 has never married and his Mum has always wanted to be a grandma. Ofcourse she may be but doesn't know about it.

ANOTHER grandmother.....wot is it with you lot and your grand kids? Trifley wonders off muttering to herself....'when is Mark gonna find a wife, let alone kids'.......

Hi Larraine in WA Welcome, There are quite a few of us that are sane and only get led astray occasionally. Mostly when Lew is dishing out colourful pills. Rebs can be a bit disruptive, but she is laying low at the moment, don't know why. We miss her. Some will even help with your FH. Luv SuzyQ

Hi Lorraine, I am from the west, many moons ago, from North Perth, Wembley Downs etc. .. Where are you located? .. I'm going home again for xmas as I've done the past two years. Are you any relation to Barry Cable the footballer (of about - well, I couldnt really say how long ago, as some of the girls on this thread are only young-uns, but ..... a long, lonnnng time ago??? (East Perth) The others have forgotten that we do have at least 5 West aussies on this thread, but they dont come here very often. Hope you enjoy your time with us. Jood (one of 3 Judes i.e Jude2, Jude3 and Jood)
