We are hopeing to move into the unit under licence a couple of weeks early but havent heard from the sellers lawyers yet if we can..He is aparantly a cranky old bu...r and nobody will talk to him but his lawyer.. so we are waiting for his reply..hope he says yes so that we wont have to move everything on 1 day. I spent the afternoon packing and boxing all the china and wine glasses and tomorrow I will have a go at some dinner sets. ,,,,,where did I get all this stuff.,,,I am sure I dont need it all... I like the idea of the group booking at the motel Lew Lew but at the moment I will have to play it by ear re OH,, cant make plans to far ahead where he is concerned..will let you know.. Well I am off to bed as it has been a trying day.. See ya all tomurra Love maryxxx

Evening Wattlers Boy I've had a busy day, Firstly I went to meet the lady I had met at the Library, that took all day until 2.45 and ended up with a few dates I didnt have and more info to come. Picked DD up at the bus stop on my way home. Got in the door and got on the bike as it is raining and didnt go for my walk. Then phone rang, our landlord arranged for a real estate agent to ring us and arrange a time so he could come here and have a look at the house so he could give the landlord an appraisal. So we arranged tomorrow afternoon, then panic set in ooh no!!!! is the bath clean, I can see cobwebs hanging in the corners etc etc etc. I also have shopping in the morning so it was a matter of do some today. David got home from work and done the bathroom while I done the dusting, only have to run the vaccy over the floors in the morning. So we may be on the move soon, landlord got us to have a look at a place on Monday and let him know what we thought, as he is buying a new house, or should I say newer than this one, for us to move into and then he will sell this one. the house is nice and warm, only thing is it is a bit smaller but if he gets it we will fit in without too much hassle. Welcome back Tony and Barb, look forward to hearing of your adventures. Jood I have unlimited broadband so anything you send is ok with me, our broadband is with Dodo, had no probs with them. Well must go and have a breather and a coffee. Hello to everyone. 38 Sleeps. Cheers Sue

Me again This is my Internode plan if anyone is interested. HOME-512-Starter $39.95 512k / 128k 8 GB Shaped 8GB is plenty enough for me. Jood

Told you I was a mountain/city girl - I dont know anything about snakes, if they hibernate or not !!!! .. But but but .. I did see one slither across the road up Normanton way in FNQ and that would have been in winter! Dont forget to scan the article on you and send it to us??? (or me, anyway lol) Ooooh got indigestion tonight - havent had that for years, been scavenging in my drawer for something to ease it. .. Did find something, hope it does the trick. Thanks Lew, forgot about the list of Wattle names Jood

Jood, Cat's email is on the sheet that SuzyQ sent. Yes, we did have a fun day, didn't we. As regards to Telstra, if you're in the country and you're not with them, forget it! You don't get any service whatsoever. They just say 'We're not your service provider, so speak with them', aarrrgggghhhh. No need to worry about snakes. They're all sleeping very soundly at the moment. Spring is when you need to watch out. Hopefully, Gwenda will have the house pickles by now. Hey, just had a call from a friend who said there was a huge spread in today's Mudgee Weekly about our retirement. That's only because we went to a retirement party on Friday for another legal secretary in town who was moving to Queensland and she invited us into a photo session with her. That'll give the partners something to think about and also make the clients wonder why nothing was done for us! Mind you, we have received heaps for flowers, card, bottles and messages, so at least we know that some people will miss us. Lew Lew xxx

Uhmmmm now where do I start? Firstly - Cat - I dont have your email address :-( can you pm me? Noted Lew has BB, and Cat, plus Suzy & Sandra also, but they dont like big downloads. .. I've heard soooo many stories about Bigpond its not funny. .. When your contracts are up - consider Internode. .. They are a South Australian company but work Australia wide. .. No, I don't get paid for that commercial! Yes Lew, we had an hysterical day on MSN, Jude 3 with finger poised on the mouse ready to minimise the screen if Ken should walk near (he did) pmsl. .. We nudged each other and giggled, and cracked up. You going to take Jack on a walk tomorrow Lew? .. He will be sooo surprised. .. Just be careful of snakes. Having a fight with the guy who was responsible for building these townhouses. Just because I'm a woman. .. Hmmmph .. Not the first time I've had to have words with him. .. My ex was a carpenter and you might say a building construction supervisor, so I have a bit of an idea whether a job is good or not. .. I'll check with Dept of Fair Trading tomorrow just to see how I stand. .. He said - fair go, you've been in the house 7 years - geez, I only moved up here in 2001 and moved into the house in Oct of that year! Oh well, I can only try. Jood

Mmm, that's good justifying, Yvette! Gwenda, sorry, pickles on the way as we speak. I've only just put all the wattlers addresses into outlook express and knew I would miss a few. For anyone who missed out, let me know and I'll send them. Yes, Cat, this retirement thing is really good. I've done heaps since last Friday. Lew Lew xxx

Thank you Yvette :-)

an eggplant is an aubergine (too hard to spell)

Evening Wattlers, Welcome back Tony & Barb - guess you've forgotten you even had a holiday - just wait for the plastic bill - lol Anna & Katherine (((((hugs))))) - so sad to have to say goodbye to a pet. Yvette - hope you're improving with each day Lew - thanks for BrisVegas pickles - haven't had house ones tho -feeling left out - lol Jood - Lucas is soooooooooo cute - love them at that age Hi to everyone else - hope all the headaches have gone Off to organise food and another load of washing - machine is back in action $105 later and 2 house keys, one bra underwire, a sock and sockette removed - pmsl OH off to Canada tomorrow and Friday can't come quick enough so I can have a break - how do peeps work Monday to Friday every week - yuk Don't talk too much - its taken me ages to catch up on 7 pages as well as emails but I love youse all Gwenda

Now that one doesn't sound so bad, it's the cheese that usually makes me feel sick. An eggplant could probably come and bite me on the nose and I still wouldn't know what it was lolol Hi Lew enjoying your retirement?? :-) Thanks for the Brisvegas pics :-) Gwenda you snuck in under me lol ~~~~~~~

i'm sure that thin vegetable pizza is fine. ww points system, eat as many vegetables as you like. domino pizza = hardly any cheese, thin crust = hardly any crust. makes sense to me. honestly i can't eat the others though, can't eat meat either. also too much cheese would give me indigestion . i've got delicate guts, i'm quite a delicate lass all 'round. i can eat a good lentil or chickpea curry, or a nice spicey garlic eggplant yum (they're my favourites)

LOL, Yvette & Cat. Surely, both of these dishes are on the weight watchers menu! For medicinal purposes only, mind! Lew Lew xxx

LOL Yvette Funnily enough the only one in this house who really likes pizza is my son. My daughter will eat a couple of slices occasionally and I can eat a couple of slices but then can't eat any more because it starts making me feel sick. I love southern fried chicken though :-)

thanks for the healing thoughts, miss puss, i think it must be the week for headaches all round. everybody's head is going out in sympathy for the next. did you know pizza makes you feel better. i'm not really into junk food, i just love the smell, but somebody suggested pizza a couple of weeks back. Wednesday is always danger day - can never think of what to make for tea. Anyhow, poor kids i had to just about force feed them. do you know how yummy it was? domino's thin vegorama 5.95 pick up. yvette

While I remember..................... Jood I'm on broadband unlimited too :-) and I'm meeting Gaynor bear today too :-)

Morning everyone :-) Jood and Shazz I sympathise with the headaches. I had one Monday night and then again Tuesday night. Mine were caused by a combination of the heat and hayfever. The hayfever usually means I start the day sneezing but on the Monday and Tuesday I didn't which meant later in the day I got congested and ended up with an headache which was centred right between my eyes. On the Monday I took two decongestant tablets but I just ended up feeling sick and spent most of the evening lying on my bed with the curtains drawn. It didn't help that I'd ran out of antihistamine tablets either lol. Anyway bought some yesterday and took one as soon as I got home which meant that although it was too late to stop the headache it wasn't as bad as Monday's. Took a tablet this morning so hopefully no more headaches lol. Laurie hope that will gives you all the info you need and glad you had a good day in Sydney :-) Yvette sending healing thoughts, take care of yourself. Tony welcome back or should that be forward??? lol oh well wb to the thread pmsl Heather hope your daughter gets better soon ((((((((hugs))))))))) Jude3 PMSL re the numbers............to all others it's nothing to do with me lol. ~~~~~~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Juliexx

Hi Jood, I'm on broadband unlimited, so send whatever you like. We have to be because of the stockmarket which Terry plays a far bit of. Jood and I gave Jude 3 a bit of a hard time of msn today, but we did laugh. I admit, I was actually crying! lol God with retirement stuff is fun. Might even go for a walk tomorrow, lol. Lew Lew xxx

Hi everyone Jood, I'm on broadband but only 500 mb per month, which I usually use well and truly before the month is up. Glad you got you puta up and running, Jude 3 Heather, gee your daughter has had a bad time of it. Hope she is one the improve. SuzyQ, I'll be there on the 13th. Hopefully, Rebs will come with me. I have pm you re msn - having trouble downloading - not the brightest where putas are concerned. Trifley, I am interested in booking at the country comfort if any one is interested in doing a group booking. Have to work out how to get to mudgee as well. Must go and pick up son from work, will be back later. Luv Pam

Hi all, just been chatting with Jood about Mudgee Meet. Obviously, I won't be able to accommodate everyone for the stay (I know, we should have built a bigger house!), but I did have a thought. Trifley and Graeme are going to stay at the Country Comfort. Now I know that they do group bookings so, for those who need a bed, why not speak with Trifley and then you can do a group booking and I'm sure they offer pretty good discounts. Is this okay with you, O Regal Queen? Lew Lew xxx
