Afternoon Wattlers Vonny welcome home, look forward to a run down on your trip when you are refreshed. Laurie safe travels, catch you when you return or in internet cafe. Mary hows the packing going. Have you heard yet if you can move into the unit any sooner? Tony got the new list for lotto, already copied and pasted onto bottom of old list. Trifley sending hugs your way hoping that everything will be ok. Well I dont know if I feel much better today, doped up on painkillers, but I went to the Docs earlier and got a course of antibiotics and a repeat to start with so hopefully by tomorrow I will feel a bit better in myself. Hello to everyone else I havent mentioned, hope you have a great day. 32 Sleeps, Cheers Sue

Hi everyone, just when I thought I was safe, what happens, grandson wasn't at all well through the night so he's staying home with me today, poor little might, he's asleep at the moment and looks so angelic, looks can be deceptive, he's a right little tomboy when well. Trifley, thinking of you, won't send a big hug just in case you're tender so a gentle squeeze is on it's way. better go I think he's waking, be back later, luv Jillx

afternoon all you lovely wattlers Cant stay, got to page 4 and have to go again, youngerst g/boy (13mnth) just woken up again after 15mins nap, so will attmep to read again tonight Vonny Welcome home, Laurie, hope you are allright and ready to fly out tomorrow Cantremember anythig else at the mo, so catch you all later, the little lungs are sceaming out, byeee Shaz

Welcome home Vonny ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think we've done very very well in your word games, kept up the tradition etc etc. ~~~~~~ to Wilson. I NEVER get motivated to do h*******k Well, back to the shower I was going to have hours ago - omg its 11.00am! Morning Lew Jood

Morning All and welcome back Vonny. Sounds like you had a great time, except for the airport delay! Bet you felt the cold this morning. Trifley, make sure you take your boys with you today, then the pathologist might get your results done quick smart when he sees what he's dealing with, particularly Nefer, as he is an inch bigger than his brothers, lol. Wilson, things must be tough if you're resorting to housework! This is not good and I highly recommend some retail therapy. Laurie, make sure that Vicki Reedy gets in touch. That book I told you about 'From Blarney to Blue Gums' is all about the Reedy family coming to Australia from Ireland in 1841. There might be a connection. Chat soon Lew Lew xxx

~~~~~~~~~~~~ welcome home to Tony and Barb, will catch up with your stuff later. and ~~~~~~~~~ to Laurie for your trip :)

hello, I'm hoooooooommmm :) Got into Canberra at midnight last night so brain is still very fuzzy. Decided to punch it through from Sydney last night as just couldn't stand the thought of another hotel!!! So had a cup of coffee (I don't usually drink tea or coffee), prayer for safety and no animals on the road and drove right on home. Have caught up on the last page only, as can't focus more than that. Trifley, adding my prayers for you, Laurie - glad you are ok and a big wave~~~~~~~~~ to all. Gwenda, thanks for the message - will respond coherently later on :) Thanks for all those who have been doing the word threads. I'll check them out plus my other thread in a min. One thing I found that hasn't happened to me before is that last night, if I stood still, I was actually swaying - like when you have been on a ship too long but this was from the plane. Something to do with balance obviously. Nice to be home *big grin* ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Morning Wattlers, Tony, thanks for the new list, this time i have c&p to wattlelotto folder. I still havn't seen the last one i printed off, it is here amongst the family history stuff.......somewhere lol. Everyone sounds busy this morning, me i am just hanging around the house doing whatever takes my fancy...looking around....nothing takes my fancy he he. Thought i would go and stock up the cupboards again, got ready to face the crowds and car won't start, has never happened before. OH will get it going again when he comes home for lunch... I hope. I am going to Malburn on thursday/friday for some retail therapy, and to cuddle grandson, so can you organise some warmer weather down that way guys? OK, i suppose i could do a spot of the dreaded word while i am stuck here. Why is it that when you plan to go out and for whatever reason don't, that you can't settle to something else, like H*******k lol. Catch you later Wilson

Morning all, Been lurking around for hours. Laurie leaving, Vonny arriving, Tassie bussing, Trifley Drs, Tony walking - WALKING???? pmsl - lot of movement in the camps. After a busy day out yesterday, I better stay home and tidy up the joint. Hope all goes well today Trifley - do let us know. Thanks Tony for the update of the Waffling Wattlers Weekend Lotto (www.lotto*dot*come*to*us). May this round be more successful than the last - although we did get a chocky out of it didnt we? Better scoot and get some work done. Jood

Morning Wattlers. Just got back from our morning brisk walk, before heading off into the maddening crowd. Both Barb and myself walk every morning ( if its not raining ) to start our day off. I took my plastic out and let him jog along side of us this morning, as he looks a bit overweight and needs to lose a few $$$$.....lol Trifely best wishes mate, and I'm sure all will be just fine. (((((HUGS)))))) from Barb & me to you.x Time for a big Brekkie, then orf to join all the lovely cars on the crowded freeway's. Have a good day everyone. Tony Oz....:>)))

Hello Waffling Wattlers Had a wonderful lunch today with my brother, SIL, 2 nieces,1 gt. nephew and 2 gt. gt. nieces. It was great to see 4 generations of family enjoying fun, laughter and friendship. This is one reason I do FH, so the younger members of the tribe can get to know their wonderful ancesters. Tony....thanks for the Lotto list. I think a couple of our new Wattlers wanted to join....from memory it was Little Duck and Jill. I've given them a list of the requirements to qualify.....police criminal checks, referrences from 3 people who've known them for 50 years and finger prints to be sent to interpol. They seem like nice peeps so I'm sure they will pass our stringent tests.....lol I'm having the biopsy tomorrow so I might not be on here. I don't know how long it will take for the path results to come back.....hopefully only a few days. I don't think I could handle it if it was too long. Sleep well my friends and I'll check in later. love Trifley X

Evening all, Just reading through your messages, I must be the only one who can cope with dentists. .. No way in hell would I ever have false teeth. .. Have had some horrible things done though, but my pain tolerance is high .. Having had 3 kids and at least 8 ops - nothing fazes me - to date, anyway! Having said that, I hope all goes well for you Tassie. Thanks cat, in advance for the email. Mary - how's the packing going? .. You must be losing sooo much weight with all this extra activity. Brissie girls - hope your lunch date goes well, don't forget the pickles. Jood

Evening Wattlers, Have been really busy and not much time on here, Laurie sorry to hear of your brush with a car, there is a line from an Elvis song 'All shook up' but seriously tho thank goodness it wasen't more serious. Have a great trip on Wed . Tony love the travelogue and had a look at the pics, I only spent 1 day in Paris about 8 years ago, did the Eurostar and then my neice took me on a whistle stop tour by metro from one sightseeing place to the other, but it was enjoyable, she had been lots of times so knew her way around. hope everyone is well and keeping warm, has been a lovely day in the Gong today but cold once the sun goes down We do not have an internal burner in out PC so bought an external one from computor fair, all ok decided to export gedcom file fron genes into PAF and then I thought would back it up onto a disc, followed all intructions but no it dident happen, anyone have any ideas about that ??????? Tassie hope your teeth problem is sorted out soon, poor you I hate the dentist as most of us I think. Off to cook some dinner so catch you next time Sandra in the Gong

Joodles have sent you a pickle of GB :-)
