Joods have you left a mssg. from the Wattlers for June, it was just something you said in one of your mssg that made me think you had, she sounded a really lovely caring lady; Yvette thinking of you you hope everthing goes well for you today. Hi Vonny, glad you had a safe trip, enjoy yourself. Went to son and dil to be for lunch yesterday, I didn't know son was such a good cook, he kept that hidden when he lived here, when I complimented him and asked him where he learnt to cook he said that he had been watching me for years, wasn't that a nice thing to say, dil to be thinks it great too as she doesn't like cooking very much. The mah jong evening went off really well they didn't leave till nearly 3.am, boy did I sleep well last night Luv Jillx

Morning Wattlers, I've decided I dont like football anymore but could become a fan of car racing.....Lownes did good Tassie!! OH cant be well, he took me to the pictures to see Superman last night and then out for a quick tea.. Had the kids laughing at us, we were home by 8.30 must be getting old...lol Very Busy today, will catch up tomorrow ```````Jude2

Hooray for Vonny! Heard your plane fly over, but couldn't see you. Was thinking of you though. Thanks to Jood, Laurie and SuzyQ, I finally worked out the MSN messaging thingy. Clever ain't I! Off to help someone with FH research. Lew Lew xxx

Ah Joodles . . . didn't you realize I was on talking to Shaz when you came on ??? Not enough eyes to be a good spy network, everyone was everywhere! pmsl I just got two certs in the mail - and both are great tools for going further. Big smile on the dial !!! Off to see if anyone else on here has the new names luv Laurie

We'se been very good havent we Anna, Lew, Jill, Lyn, Tassy and myself. (ahem) Finally I am going to do some work............. Jood

Great to hear from you Vonny . . . Wattlers thread is the sane place to be at the moment - MSN is the nightmare!!!! Just tried to survive a 3 way with Joodles & Shaz, and link ups with Lew, Suzy Q and a friend in USA . . . jumped out to save my sanity cheers luv Laurie

Hi Vonny Glad the flight went OK. We are looking after the word threads for you - so don't you worry about a thing. It's all good.......:>)))) Hope to see you back again soon and don't forget to log off!! Anna

Laurie, just need to tell you I saw the Giraffes! Yhey really do look like Giraffes don't they :) Watty waved out the window to you :) Also waved to Jood and Lew Lew as we went straight out over the mountains but theY were having a cloudy day so I don't think they would have see me :) Vonny Ps I don't have a dictionary and almost half the letters are worn off the computer so might have some innovative spelling and typing :)

Hi all, greetings from sunny (not) Chaing Mai. travelled safely and well but was very tired last night. Not sure how many times i will have internet access, I'ts not cheap at the hotel :) But some of my party have their lap - tops so i will see if i can get some time from them. just had a scary thing. i typed the addy in to come here and ended up loged in to someone else called Lindy!!!!! most frightening. Lindy mustn't have kogged out and also left the box ticked to remember her from this computer!! What a warning. For a minute i couldn't work out how to get logged in as ME but finally worked out to log Lindy off!! Will have to do same myself!! Vonny

Morning Wattlers, Lew Lew glad your party went off so well, did you know some naughty ones were going to gatecrash, but they couldn't find their wellies, lol Trifley, I was going to offer to help you with the ironing but I see you've done it, what a shame I miss out, not. did you manage to save your fish are they okay? Pam good bling, We used buy our hay from Kalbar do you know the Moore family. I joined Irish Origins when I first started FHing but I can't say they were that good but they may have added more databases by now, try cindi's list for more Irish sites, at my local FHC they have BMD indexes for Ireland next time I go I can do look ups for you if you want. Just had a phone call from a friend and I think we have chatted for about an hour so consequently I have forgotten some of the things I was going to say, will have another read and be back later luv Jillx

Just went out to check on the giant heart in the sand - and rakeman (Mr Beachcomber) on his tractor has just driven thru the middle of it . . Ah well - I know that they have plenty of pics. Rug up and drink up Lew luv Laurie

Hmmmmm Lew - Terry should ask you your Wattle arrangements before he makes bookings .. pmsl. Do hope your aunt is ok - and also you take care of yourself too. So I will add my damn and blast that you can't come with us on that day :-( ... Mary, Laurie & JA will be meeting again sometime somewhere - will let you know. I already have you in my MSN list - just download the program, and add me to YOUR list. .. I did send you an invite ages ago, but you never took it up. Looking forward to the pickles. Jood

Hey SuzyQ and Jood. How do I msn? What do I do? Lew Lew x

Good Morning Wattlers and didn't you all live up to the waffling reputation, lol. Jood, slept until about 8.15 am, but I think I'm coming down with a cold, all achie and just feel a bit off. I think I must have hit the wall. You know, you just keep on pushing and then when you stop, whamo! Anyway, I've had a huge glass of orange juice and am about to have a cup of tea. Got a couple of photos of us cutting a retirement cake, Jood, so I'll now get my bum into gear and send some pickles of that, the house and the BrisVegas meet. Poor Fanny, hope your little op goes well. I'm thinking of you. Don't know if I told you, but I won't be able to make it to the Sydney Meet, blast and damnations! Terry had booked at week in Bright, so he can go skiing and I can visit my Aunt. She is very unwell. Has bad diabetes and also has to go to Wangaratta 3 times a week for dialysis, so I better go and visit her and the cousins. Anyone heard from Lara? Loved the story about the proposal, Laurie. Nice to see that romance is alive and well. Hey SuzyQ, Anna, Rebs, Trifley and Pam. How's the Qld weather today. Bet it's warmer than it is here! Sun's out, but still very chilly. Hi to all those I haven't mentioned ~~~waves to all~~~ Lew Lew xxx

thanks for your good wishes. got up at 5.30 so i could have tea and toast. i'm starving now, and past the water cutoff point.. went and picked up more junk mail to deliver during the week. i use that british origins but i'm not paying. ancestry.co.uk too, same deal. tight aren't I. while i was mucking about early this morning i read the british news about their weather. if you close your eyes i think you could almost be there. have a lovely day yvette

Well well well - first day of retirement and she sleeps in - it's all tooooo much for her, poor old thang. Didya take any pickles Lew Lew????????? Your house is tidy, you don't have to cook! If you've got ironing to do, Trifley & Laurie would LURVE to help out, wouldnt you girls?. Wot???????? Who is that swearing???? Come out and play!!!!!!!! . Jood

Morning Everyone Just a flying visit, getting ready to get on bus to go to Centrelink and then Library looking up more death and birth notices. Laurie Gaynor got back in touch with me and didnt have a prob, thanked me also for thinking to do it. Jood goodluck with your contact. Hope everyone has a great day. Catch you later today. 40 Sleeps. Cheers Sue

We are making contact now, she has sent her email address and I've just forwarded my whole chart. Gave her my email address and hoping she will do likewise. Very very quiet week - nothing on Mon-Thu - most unusual for me. Going on bus tour at weekend to Wollombi, should be good fun. Jood

Jood, I have used British Origins in the past, paid for a month and didn't get much out of it at all - guess it is just the luck of the draw . . . Some County's are better covered than others and what I was looking for wasn't there! When I printed out trees off the old program, it took up a lot of paper - so good luck ! I take it she isn't eager to send you a gen report via email ?? even if you can get her to send you a pm on GR - you can copy & paste that then print it out! Good luck girl . . . what sort of a week have you got planned ??? luv Laurie
