Morning All Just checking in quickly, if Im not on here for the rest of today or tomorrow, dont panic, I have taken the big plunge ..................................... I have had a bad tooth/teeth which was playing up ages ago, I had an abcess which went away, now the teeth have been playing up all weekend, this morning I feel so yucky, weak and a sickly feeling, so I rang the dentist and have a 9.30 appointment. Already getting nervy, I hate dentists, heart rate is already up a bit. Cheers Sue

Good morning Wattlers...Anne here!! Fresh now from a wonderful Chester Meet... 32 people , loads of laughs and a poledancing pommie on the rampage...lol Had a wine too many and decided to use the awning outside the venue as a personal piece of equipment!! Think the proof might be on the photos page when everyone gets home as lots of people stayed over..... I apologise beforehand...lol... We had a raffle and sang Happy birthday a couple of times for Sandra of Bolton and our lad Daniel.... and everyone got a piece of cake which had been brought by Lemon... Of course we had meals there which on the whole were very good , a beautiful riverside view and such good company... what more can you ask for... Thanks for the pm Jood.... will get back to you in a couple of days as am busy tomorrow and must now get to my bed... Lots of love to you all, 'Poledancing Honey Rum' xxx

Good morning Wattlers, Oh you poor thing Von - nothing worse than getting stuck in an airport! Sounds like you had a good weekend Joodles - glad the cold is easing. Anna - have a wonderful time at Tamborine Mountain - watch out for 'plastic card walk' (as the lovely Ray calls it) and make sure you enjoy the food experience, some of the best little restraunts going up there. Lots of lovely bush walks for you - lush and tropical, and the little blood sucking leaches!!!! I had a wonderful time yesterday, dropped Ray out at the football and went on to spend the afternoon with the cousin I have just found after 30 years. We are so lucky to have had bower birds for ancestors, she and I have so much to share with one another. We spent a lot of time looking at all the lovely photos and didn't get to the bundle of letters she has - all tied up in a bundle by our Grandma Kate. The letters are all the ones sent home by the two uncles that were killed in WWII, plus others. So I have all that to look forward to. It was great though as we both have our different stories passed down, and between us we have a pretty good picture of the life of our family. I was just standing talking to Pat, thinking how much her looks and her sound reminded me of different ones, when her little boy said how much I sounded like Pats younger sister, his aunt. I have heaps to do today - so much to do before we leave on Wednesday! So best get a start and I'll catch you all up later. cheers luv Laurie

Hiya all you wattlers, hope you are all ok;; Tony, glad you had a good holiday in England;; son was asking if where you live as he lives in Point Cook is that anywhere near you , if so he would like to meet you sometime when he gets back over, hopefully in August, when he gets back ;; Rebs havnt seen you for a bit but I have been missing all w/e ;; went to Chester meet and met Julie cat, and she is really lovely;; and she has a great tattoo on her back of a cat as well :::::LOL Babs , who is very kn***ered tonight and will be going to bed earlier than she normally does';;;

Cat - I meant to ask you the story about Gaynor Bear - do you have a pickle of her? Jood

Vonny - have a nice rest - look forward to hearing all about your adventure when you get back - how's Wattie bear?

Morning all :) It's 5am at Changi Airport, Singapore and I'm stuck here cause the plane had a major hiccup and we missed our connecting flight. By the time they found us somewhere to stay it was almost not worth trying to sleep!! I'm going to go and lie down after this. So won't be home till late Monday evening. Will be good to be in my own bed. :) Must away as this is timed Love to all ~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Morning Wattlers, Hope everyone is fit and well or getting better if they've been on the sick list (((((Hugs))))) for Trifley for tomorrow - just remember we are all with you - it's gonna be mighty cosy in the consult room with us all there you know - pppppp (((((Hugs))))) for Yvette - when do you get the bandage off? (((((Hugs))))) for Laurie - now you know why you have that extra padding don't you - actually we do gain weight in that region for just such contingencies (big word) so that in our older years we have some resources to fall back on should we be seriously ill - we bounce back from illness a lot better than the skinny minnies who have no fat stores - sorry to have to use words like fall and bounce after your experience - pmsl Lara hope you can sort your prob - does sound like it could be battery but haven't experienced that with my lappy - yet so can't help. Hope you're enjoying the warmth - it's a bit nipply here this morning - again Jood - hope you've had a great weekend and not tired yourself out. Mary - how's the packing going - it's amazing just how much stuff we pack into houses isn't it - when it's all in cupboards you don't think you have much until you have to pack it and find somewhere to store it until moving day. Daughter and I off to Sydney tomorrow - she's shouting me - got a voucher for 1 nights accomm in Sydney thru her work, we are having an extra night - mind you I'm second choice as her friend has moved to Sydney since this was originally organised - oh well - change of scenery is just what I need I think. Hi and ~~~~~~~~~ to everyone - hope y'all have a great day Gwenda

Good morning all, I can't believe you were all quiet just coz I was away for the weekend, does that make me the worstest waffler in the group? .. pmsl Had a really great time, fun people, lots to do and see and eat! Countryside very dry, yet pretty. We didn't stay on the freeway all the way, took lots of side roads, very windy, steep in some places. We had a terrific bus driver (and good looking as well) - he had us in fits with his jokes, which always ended in 'there you go' - in the end, every time anyone said anything, we would say 'and there you go' (don't be surprised if I start saying it as well!) .. Another phrase he used a lot (deliberately) - was 'fancy that'. .. Actually, they weren't all jokes, they were stories about his childhood - and half the time we didn't know if he was making them up or they were true, especially as he could put on different accents in appropriate places. .. When he started talking about Lyre birds, I had my doubts!!! .. Needless to say he was an excellent bus driver... The tablets recommended me for my cold (since my usual brand isnt now available) - were some kind of sinus tablet. .. I didnt expect they would be much good, but they certainly worked well, so the cold was much more bearable. Laurie whats this I hear about you trying to take on a car - and a porsche at that? I hope your paralegel is giving you advice (and I dont mean purple pills). Hope your *um is ok. Thinking of you Trifley. .. Hope you girls all have a fun time this week. Also to Lara, hope she gets her pc working properly again soon. Must away, another busy day. Thanks cat, for enquiring - and Lew and Anna. Ooops ....... nearly forgot. ... Lew, we certainly did go to the Wollombi pub (complete with the usual bikies) - and I did try some Dr Jurd's Jungle Juice - yukky poo. .. It tasted like dry sherry, is that what its supposed to taste like? And one last thing, Lew, thanks for doing the Lotto for me. Now I have to go away and re-learn Jude2 & Jude3 all over again :-( Damned if I know why Jude3 is now Yarra - is that coz she lives in Malbin? So there you go. Jood

so i'm not the only one milking sunday night for all its worth. everybody else is in bed and the quiet is lovely goodnight, yvette x

Goodnight all Off to the coast tomorrow - I'm sure Trifley will say hello to you all from me after she has seen me on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, I'll be seeing some of you at the casino - should be great. Poor Lara - I can sympathise with her withdrawal symptoms from not having her puter. Hope you get it sorted soon Lara. Tas - your friend was right about our water restrictions - we are going on to level 5 next month - can't use any water outside at all then. Think of me lazing around over the next few days, hitting the crafty shops and the coffee shops at Mt. Tamborine and going for long rambles through the rainforest. I can't wait! I find the rainforest experience very spiritual and always feel renewed after I've been there. I''m definitely descended from some sort of tree dwelling monkeys! Jood - it's been very quiet on the boards without you around this weekend. Hope you haven't overdone it and that you will be back on the boards and feeling fine this week. Goodnight - sweet dreams Anna PS Laurie - have a great trip. Don't thrash the plastic tooo much!

Thanks Oh great one for getting back to me . . . I have just talked to Lara on the phone - she sends her love to all. They are at Mission Beach, so if you see a news report of a lady on Mission Beach with a mission to use her puter for a rocket you will know it is Lara at her wits end. I think the mission at the moment is to go to the internet cafe and clear her overloaded mail box, and get on to the wattle thread to get a dose. Will catch up with you all tomorrow - cheers luv Laurie

Okay I get the messge, you've all gone to bed so I may as well go too, the light's going off now, night all Jillx

I've just watched that ancestory thing on SBS facinating, anyone else see it? Laurie I think Trifley has gone to bed and sorry I can't help with the flat battery problem, I'd ask oh but he's gone to bed too Jillx
