Send me a copy of the Will, Laurie. Remember I was the clown in the office that had to read all the Old System Title documents! I'll see what I can do. I transcribed one for my family dated 1824, so I'll have a go if you like. Lew Lew xxx

Greetings Wattlers. Well, I see that the Royal Barge will remain in dry dock until the big Lotto Win! Bugger! So much for the diet starting today. We're now going out for lunch! Looks like it'll start tomorrow. Was that our Rebs I saw breezing through? What are you up to girl? I'd better get a wriggle on and get the place straightened up before friends arrive.

Morning all, Yvette (Mary, you listening) I'd say quite a few of us will be going by train. .. I'm suggesting we meet outside the barriers of the country trains around 11.00am (tho some peoples trains may come in a little later. .. If we get to the casino well before noon, we should be able to get a table for us all. .. Those coming to date are Judy <--- Jood!! Sandra Gwenda Vonny Shaz - Rob Tassie Lyn Mary Vonny Leigh (hope you are back home Leigh) Judy - Ken Laurie - ?? My train from the Blue Mountains gets in at 10.30am, but I will just grab a coffee and wait. Please god, let the trains be running that weekend :( Any input, suggestions from you others? (Don't forget to look up weekend timetables, not weekly - which I almost did!) Saturday 12th August at 11.00am Jood

good morning wattlers, less than 2 weeks to go 'til the casino. anybody else catching the train? I'll have to get more details as the time gets closer. I slept stacks yesterday. Had a lay down in the afternoon then fell asleep on the lounge for a few hours last night. Replenished energy today, so we're off for a walk up minnamurra falls this morning. I was going kayaking, but no other takers. I'll go with them instead. enjoy the day love Yvette xx

Good Morning Wattlers Well we had a lovely night last night for Nan. Should have seen her face when she walked in the room with all the relies there to meet her. She thought she was just going to the pub with her Daughter and hubby from next door and another of her daughters that came from somewhere outside Sydney about 5 hours could be Bobadah or something like that I remember she said she goes out through Parks and Bogan Gate. Her daughter also lives in Sydney but I didnt get to find out exactly where as my girls dont know Im going yet. There was even this Aunty's former husband there, which was a bit of a shock as Nan didnt think much of him, he is Italian and like a few Italians loves his drink, women (Not his wife) etc etc, and Nan is dead against drink and he also didnt treat his wife or children very well, they was made to work in his shop every spare hour while he could galavant around his female friends places. Anyway enough rambling, it was still a great night, and I had crumbed scallops and cheesecake with raspberry syrup yummy. Now I am waithing for youngest girl Dannielle to get ready as the both of us are walking over to Mums and going out with them to Nans for the day. It is good as it was forecast rain but none about yet. David had the trips too the toilet all night, something didnt agree with him and Tamika is going off to the cinemas with her friend. Anna bad news about the vote, hopefully they will do something about the tanks, but you still need rain for them, hopefully everything will work out, as Katherine said its her generation and beyond it is going to affect more. Laurie hope you are holding up ok with everything thats going on with your friend Denny and her family, you sound like one strong lady to help through this hard time. At least a decision has been made and it sounds like Denny's wishes were taken into consideration. OK so we aint rich with the Wattlelotto and David and my tickets were no good neither so its wait another week :-( Well must go as Dannielle is nearly ready. Catch you tonight if I'm not all talked out lol. 13 Sleeps, Cheers Sue

Good morning Wattlers, It's still dark outside so I don't know what the day holds for us but forecast wasn't for any rain. Hope everyone has a pleasant day, doing nothing much of anything See y'all this arvo Gwenda

Sorry Laurie....I should have said...'I guess I don't go to Egypt THIS week'...lol. Anna...sorry to hear the 'NO' vote won. I think they'll be sorry, but time will tell. Do they realise that whatever they do now wont attract Federal funding? When we lived on Lord Howe Island we had 2 tanks that were hooked up by a Davey pump to the house. This provided all the water for our use....drinking, showering, toilet...everything. It was plain, untreated rain water like millions of people use every day. After a particularly long dry spell one of the tanks was almost empty so we decided to give it a bit of a clean. Yuck! There was a lot of scunge on the bottom of the tank but we did manage to clean it up a bit. Still any water is better than no water at all. I think it's past my bed time so i'll be off now. Sleep well my friends. love Trifley X

I'm off to the land of Nod too Catch y'all tomorrow - sometime Nitey nite

Hi all, Cinders is home :) Was a great time and we enjoyed ourselves, even did some dancing - which we will pay for tomorrow I expect!! Ooooo lots more products to try on the glass :) I like experimenting. Thanks all. Anna, used to be illegal to have a water tank in Canberra too!! When we drew up the plans for the extension, we added in two tanks, the largest we were allowed. There was a rebate of about $400. They are just for the garden at the moment but eventually we will plumb them into the toilets and laundry. We had to pay for two sets of plumbing anyway - mains and 'grey water' for the entire house as the rules had changed by the time our extension was built. All new houses now have to have the two sets of plumbing even if it is not used!! (including if you are just extending). off to beddy-byes after checking on the word-threads. ~~~~~~ to Rebs, hugs to Laurie and Trifley Blessings to all, Vonny

have just woken up in time to have a shower and go to bed goodnight love Yvette x
