Hey Rebs! Am I being punished? I have no pickles!!!

Evening Wattlers Just flying through, have to take DD to scouts. I went to our local shopping centre, like I mentioned earlier, well they was giving away tickets for chocolate wheel spins so I got 2 tickets for each spin and on the last spin I won a $20.00 voucher for Noni B clothes shop, havent bought anything yet. When you talked about names and name changes, I found a mistake in my tree, the people, most probably the minister or Dr when registering my Geat Uncle they had it listed Linnisia it should have been Lyndsay, and quite a few who where doing our tree but didnt know the person had the wrong name, it did have me confused for a bit then we realised the dates were exactly the same so we have made it as either a mistake by whoever wrote down the record or when they got back to the office it could have been changed. Be back after, Cheers Sue

gidday mate Jood

Jill - speaking of mouth ulcers, I'd forgotten about them, but they came back last night - gargled with salt water and almost gone today. .. I've just finished what I hope is my last lot of antibiotics forever, so expect everything to magically disappear and get better now. To those with back pain I heartily endorse aquarobics, or walking in (warm) water. I also prefer an Osteo to Physio or Chiro. Mind you - I have had several different types of treatment from different Osteos but my current one does a lot of rocking. (in certain places), and its very very effective. Oh - and remedial massages are wonderful Jood

Darling Laurie. Thank you so much for my card! It was really quite touching. I just said to Terry 'And this is from a girl that I've only actually met twice!' Thanks, Mate. You're a treasure. Lew Lew xxx :-)))))

Vonny I hope that is groceries or shopping you are unpacking . . . . LEAVE THE SUITCASE ALONE !!!!!! luv Laurie

Racing through ~~~~~ to Louisa, Hi to Carol will be back once I unpack :) Vonny

SuzyQ, in case you hadn't realised, Miss Lew Lew is just a bit obsessive compulsive and has to clean everything even if it's clean! lol. The office girls took us to lunch at the Wineglass and it was very nice. Even baby Ruby was there. She is very sweet and I had lots of snuggles. The girls also gave us a beautiful Crab Apple Tree (about 2.5 metres high) with a plaque. God only knows what people will think in 100 years, lol. Well, we're down to one sleep and looking forward to our final day. Management is arguing over my long service leave (gee, what a surprise) and the d**kheads want me to come back and do casual work for them, yeah right!!!!!!! Sorry, I haven't had time to catch up on the thread. Is there someone new? Lew Lew xxx

just sent carol a reply through success stories, though , gee thats a familiar name, and look shes here. hiya carol

My great aunt through no fault of her own became Bold she was a Boyd how they turned a Y into an L don't know, pure luck I found her, she was living with her aunt her dad had gone off to Argentina with her mum and her siblings, mum never came back but a new brother did, sad really how many women died in childbirth. luv Jillx

we have changed surnames occurring every now and then amongst all the families that i research because *some were lazy spellers, *non spellers, *individual thinkers, *bad at pronouncing their name (queer accent) *and the goody - the registrars were not very good at their job. i have been having a bad week due to a government department - not very good at their job. fluffy yellow stuff, i used to think it gave me hayfever, but have since found out its all the other things in the air at the same time . my jonquils give me hell and fresias too so i dont pick them any more , just leave them in the garden. bad backs = hydro, aqua fitness, weight training ( also oh is a massage therapist, so every now and then i let him fix it). you are welcome to borrow him, he requires gluton free diet and quiet, unless is practising his music. love yvette

Hi fluffy wattlers and hello to Louisa also a fluffy wattler,I need a shoulder to lean on, these gkids are exhuasting me, took them to Mt Coottha for a bbq lunch, before lunch we walked roughly 2k up to the summit and back down again, I am so fit Not! then after lunch which consisted of minced chicken hamburgers ( chicken minced by my own fair hands) I like to know what they are eating, they wanted another walk, I am soooo tired. The bbq was great though we all joined in in collecting twigs and making paper twist, I let them light the fire, then one buttered the rolls and another collected more wood the third chopped tomatoes etc it was really great fun, tomorrow I'm taking them to our local skate board park, where I can just sit and watch, ah! Trying to remember all the messages sorry if I forget anyone. Mary congrats on selling your house something we plan to do next year am not looking forward to it at all, we have been here twenty years and have accumulated so much stuff. Backs: to all the sore back peeps have you ever thought of trying an osteopath. I have two bulging discs which used to give me terrible grief, but since seeing an osteo I can almost do the can can again, little fib there but honestly I am now free from pain, wonderful! Trifley and Pam, my Dad was born in the townland Derrylilleagh which is in Co.Armagh, I think his mother might have been born in Co.Antrim or America, something my dad once said, and his Dad in Co.Armagh. I'm still chipping away at the brick wall , sent off for a birth cert today hopfully it's for my gfather Joods how are your mouth ulcers? they should been clearing up by now. Lew Lew, don't cry to much tomorrow you can always go back, lol love to all Jillx

Yes, Suzy I will keep looking, but the surname they changed from appears to be very uncommon, and googling hasn't uncovered anything sinister YET ! Sorry Lew, I watched the 9 number for ages while I was checking out Harrys yellow hair - actually thought I would have come in way behind the stalkers. How was your lunch ???? Where did they take you ??? luv Laurie

Lew, what did you miss and who got it LOL Are your tip toeing around the house so that it doesn't get dirty before Saturday SuzyQ

Hi Laurie, It must be really exciting for you. The name change may be a bit baffling though. Maybe, like a friend of mine, there was a name change because a family member had a dubious career. My friend had a male relative who was also a very well known ' gangland member ' . Her family have changed their surname several times. Could be worth a look LOL Luv SuzyQ

Buggar, missed it by 'that' much. Lew Lew xxx

Where is the cat ??? Where is Rebs ???
