Happy bithday Sandra and happy aniversary to Devily & Jude3, hope you all have a great celebration, what evre you decide to do. Donna, get the glad rags out and go for it, having fun is the best medicine. Thanks for the pics of lunch, so how come you only chatted for 2 hours??..lol Dr Lew, this time next week I'm tipping you will have cleaned out the desk and will be heading out for a long lunch. Ohh Im so jealous. Anyone heard from Tony & Barb or have they forgotten us already..lol Must be cuppa time ...back in a minute Jude2

good morning to you all too, although thinking of my guts again - its nearly lunch time. have bewen to work and am home again for a cuppa before out to finish off the week, if I do it quick i'm going to a have a whirl at being a domestic goddess, anybody got any hints. there must be an elf somewhere as the drying up was done and the washing out when i got home. do you know - wattlers is soooo addictive?. i love a yak

Good morning Wattlers . . . A very strange day here on the Bay, I can't see a flamin thing - just a big blur !!! And, no - I haven't touched a dram !!! The glasses are clean !!! Looks like the clouds are just hugging the building !! Plenty of noise outside this morning as the Socceroos fans celebrated the draw, and the chance to go the next round - know nothing of the game, but love what its doing for National Pride. If you dont see me around over the weekend - I will have gone out to West Wyalong to the farm - it all depends on if the lovely Ray can clear the desk today so he can have Monday off. Its not relaxing for him if we drive out 6 hrs Sat and then back Sunday. Have a great time celebrating special event those who have them on their calendar, and for everyone else - celebrate life !!! Little funny sent through by cousin when I told him we have been married 35yrs later in the year . . . . . . . . . after 35 years of marriage A husband and wife go to see a marriage counsellor . The counsellor asks them what the problem is. The wife goes into a tirade, listing every problem they have ever had in the 35 years they've been married. She goes on and on and on and on and on.... for almost an hour. Finally, the counsellor gets up, goes around the desk, and lifts the woman out of her seat. He embraces her and kisses her passionately, fondling her breasts and rubbing her buttocks. The woman shuts up and sits down quietly in a daze. The counsellor turns to the husband and says, 'That is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do that?' The husband thinks for a moment and replies, 'Well, I can get her here Monday and Wednesday, but I have golf every other day !! Wow Lew !!!! 7 Bottles of vino, siiting on the bar 7 bootles of vino sitting on the bar And if 1 bottle of cabsav, should accidently fall we'll be all there slurping, the puddle off the floor Wattlers all . . . . next Friday - no matter where we all are we have to help Lew celebrate !!! (not much chance we will see her on the thread that day!!) cheers luv Laurie

Morning Happy birthday Sandra - paint the town red! Hope you have a wonderful day Happy anniversary Devily and David. Thank you Laurie for the card and to everyone else for your best wishes - 33 years - OMG its gone too fast. Anna what ethical dilemma - aren't all lawyers honest? (smiles sweetly) Donna when you go into hospital don't tell them about us or they will put you in the physch ward as a nutter! lol Have a great weekend rockin ,rollin and drinkin. Mary whats the weather like in Canberra today? I heard the alarm (for once!) at 6.00am and heard the 1/2 time score in the soccer- Ken had brekky watching it - I just wanted to hear that they got through to the 1/4 final. Apparently appalling umpiring (nuff said before I get myself into trouble) but you do know his nationality don't you? (I'm not stirring - really (tongue in cheek). Just proved how great the socceroos are. In the western suburbs down here (big croatian population) everyone was cheering for both sides when they scored - great huh. Feel like I live at work this week, didn't leave until 9.00 last night and back at 7.00 this morning grrrr. don't think we will have any celebrations tonight will be too knackered. Ken is yelling for a cuppa - back later jude 3

Oh what a beautiful morning Oh what a beautiful day I've got one week of work left Everything's going my way, hooray!!! Morning Wattlers and a special good morning to our Donna. Dr Lew says you can have any drink you like, my darling. Now let me know when we're having this hospital meet and I'll be there to make sure the hospital is running up to my standards. Of course, I expect that Dr Trifley will also be there, as I require her special input. Thanks for the hearing aid info, Mary. I'll pass that on to Terry to see what he wants to do. ~~~waves~~~ to all and wanders off singing. Lew Lew :-))))))))))))))))

Hi everyone Locely in Canberra today,,, Just a minute on here before I go to take G/D to work .. Lew. The hearing aid is a Siemens Prisma 2pro..Itis digital and you have to have your hearing tested and they programme it to your individual hearing deficiency.Inner hear ones cost a lot about $5000 au, and are not as good as the behind the ear ones which only cost around$300..Uncle has the behind the ear ones and it is very good,, He has a friend who has had 2 inner ear ones and now prefers the ones behind the ear.. Worth a try seeing it is so much cheaper.. Must fly to take G/D to work Back later Love Maryxxx in Canberra

Good Morning Wattlers. Well I don't believe it I got up with Mike to watch the soccer and on my Big One too, I couldent sleep so thought may as well, what a thrilling game it was tho. Like you Anna may have to have a Nanna Nap later lol. Thank you to everyone for your Birthday wishes and to Laurie loved the card. Thanks girls for the lunch meet pics . Had a gorgous bouquet of flowers deliverd yesterday from a cousin in Perth (she was a day early) but never mind we only met 18 months ago , it's a long story. Well the sun is out so maybe we may get a few dry days now but i'm not complaining about the rain, only hope it is dry for Sunday tho. GO the Soccoroos......................................... Cheers Sandra in the Gong

~~~~~~~~~~~~GO GO GO AUSTRALIA~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jood

Good morning dear Wattlers You will not believe this, but hubby set the alarm for 4.30am so he could watch the soccer - and I got up to keep him company! At least we got through to the next round - it would have beeen a waste of my good sleeping time if we had lost! I may need a nanny nap this afternoon! Happy birthday Sandra! Enjoy your weekend. Have a good day everyone Cheers Anna PS Lew - this is a legal joke for you. OH thought it was hilarious but I remain unmoved even if it is a sad reflection on our legal profession! 'Two lawyers set up a partnership and agree to divide all their earnings equally. On their first day in business, a man comes in for a basic contract. 'That will be $100,' says one of the lawyers. The client hands over the cash, but unbeknown to him, there are two notes stuck together. The lawyer is confronted with his first ethical dilemma: should he share the cash with his partner?' :>)

You just never know Gwenda. .. The younger one is a bit of a tomboy - and their Dad used to play, in fact he played a game the day of this wedding!! One way to steady the nerves! Jood (who went back to bed and slept another whole hour)

Jood - you mentioned your grandies getting Socceroo shirts & balls - they could become Young Matildas when they get older - former neighbour across from us was one of them & played in the Olympics in Greece.

Morning Jood & Wattlers still in bed or maybe glued to the soccer I'm multi tasking - eating brekky, typing & an ear on the soccer then have to be ready to leave for work at 7 & hubby has now sat down to watch instead of having his shower - but then it is exciting - go go Aussies Happy birthday to Sandra & David's Dad - hope you both have a great day. Sandra sounds like you're going to have a fab weekend - hope the weather holds for the Bridge walk. Tassie - hope you enjoyed your Anniversary cheesecake. Gotta go, catch up tonight, have a great day everyone Gwenda

Jood found my pics too, very very good aren't they, you all look as thought it was a very chatty time! Thanks Hz

morning team, heard the score drew at 2 all at about 6.30 am this morning so had to get up and turn on SBS, making a cuppa now and sitting with fingers and toes crossed, croatia just got a red card, oooh we might get through to play Italy !! Hz in Albury

Morning all, rise'n shine. Actually I'm not quite awake myselt yet - very tempted to hop back into bed ! Jood

Only a couple of weeks till party time Night

On 13th July 2005 - Shaz, Joodles, Leah, Sandra & I met at Moss Vale (Shaz's friend Pat & Sandra's hubby Mike were there too . . . hope I didn't forget anyone !!) - to organise the meet with Anne Honey Rum which was held at Brighton-Le-Sands on 15th October, 2005! So we have two birthdays, our first meet on 13th July - and the formation of the Wattle thread on 15th October !! Yaaaeeeehhhh Two Parties !!! (I get to wear the tiara at the party of the Wattle thread - cause i came up with the name !! . . . but I have to share with Lara I guess cause she said 'what'll we call it'?)
