Have booked Ken's favourite Thai restaurant for dinner but he doesn't know yet so ssshhhhh. Anna don't know about Trifley's taste in sherry but Chestnut Teal is a very pleasant drop -- of course I only use it for Asian recipes lol. (thats if there is any left to cook with) ((((((( hugs))))))) to Donna - laughter is the best medicine so come and overdose with us , plus we do have 2 docs on standby - I'll try to get back later - still have a mountain of work to do before I go home - I hate the end of the financial year its a pain in the rear! ~~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone jude 3

Afternoon Wattlers It has taken me ages to read all the threads - good grief you lot can waffle! And Yvette - looks as if you are just as big a waffler as the rest of us. Welcome to the club! Donna sending you hugs (((((((((((((mwah)))))))))))))). Don't hesitate to talk to us if you are feeling down - sometimes it just helps to talk about things and share your worries with others and you know we don't mind. I wonder how the mini Wattle meet up is going - no doubt we'll catch up with all the gossip later! Had a lovely walk and break up lunch at a country pub with a log fire going - roast dinner and hot apple pie. Winter is no good for my waistline - did I hear you all say 'What waistline?' There were 30 of us so it was a very social occasion with lots of laughs. Katherine finished school this arvo and is now on holidays. She won't know her final results until her report card comes but it is all looking good. She lacks confidence in Maths and was not feeling well on the exam day but looks as if she will get a B so she is really thrilled about that. (Her school has the A,B,C,D,E marking scale) Poor little Dixie is still not eating - I'm feeding her puree and juice with a syringe and she laps it up.Poor little mite - things are not looking good. She is the black and white piggy on my picture page. Sandra - sounds as if you are going to have a great birthday - enjoy! And many happy wishes from me. Trifley, the only words on the MM website are the Hot flush ones - I remembered the 'down at Bunnings' one simply because it is so typical of my OH! You never did tell me the name of that plonk that you swill - is it Autumn Brown? Vonny - hope your OH is feeling better. I trust you are waiting on him hand and foot because you know how sick men get. SuzyQ, I hope you are feeling better today. Take care. Hi Cat - it's just as well you have a hide as thick as a rhinoceros or you would never speak to us again. We do really luv ya. Of course you do realise that when we all visit the old country, we will be banging on your door for bacon butties or Yorkshire Pud or whatever other strange things you poms eat.!! No word from Tony or Lara - if you guys can read this - Heeelllooooooo! Happy holidays. Tony - have you been farkling yet??? Hi to everyone else - Lew, Jood, Laurie, Shazz, Princess DIY, Jill Jill, Pammy, Devly, Gwenda, Rebs, Mary, Wilson, Heather, Jude in Melbourne, Lyn - oh my gosh, there's so many of us, If I have forgotton anyone, please forgive as I often have CRAFT moments you know. Luv Anna Devly - you snuck in whilst I was typing - Happy Anniversary - is it 4 years? Enjoy the cheesecake - they are just yummy. It's a cold night so a good night to cuddle up in bed...!!!!! XX Anna

i laughed when suzie told me what those things meant. i just tried to change my name a bit, appears its worked... then a phone call 'Yvette, have you picked up your cakes yet? good golly, i forgot. 3 pies, 1 cheescake and 1 doz lamos waiting. so i'm outa here yet again. bottoms require nuturing and cake is the way to do it love Yvette

Afternoon All All you getting rain over there and we are still waiting for it. Although it has been cloudy and threatening rain all day. Well I've had another busy day, shopping, bill paying, done a bit of Gene work and found the grave and in turn the date of death of my Dads half sister. I also stopped at the cheesecake shop to get some cheesecake for a special treat tonight, David loves them and as we are saving madly for Sydney, it is just something little for our anniversary, David is taking me to Casino tomorrow night for tea. Anna loved the song, but I think I might have to have a word to Tony when he gets back, as I aint from Hobart and Lonnie fits into the song just as well lol. Shazz now I know have mentioned about my eyes, one being brown and the other gold, and I have never seen Cat in Hat with a brown and gold hat pmsl. Oooh hang on a min, Sydney is Red and White, the colour of the Cat's hat, you just want me to feel as if I fit in with the crowd pmsl. Sandra Hope you have a great Day tomorrow for your birthday. You share the date with Davids father. Welcome to the Wattlers group Yvette, I have been a member for 2 years in Sept, and I do enjoy talking on here, they are such friendly people, althought a lot of what they talk about goes straight over my head pmsl. As my name hints at I am from the beautiful island state. I am not sure if someone has told you how to change your name as yet but if not, you go into My account details, enter your password and then for your first name you can change to whatever you would like and then for your last name you put something else or just a dot if you may like to have just your first name or the one you made up, then you need to click on save and come to the thread and add a post to see what it looks like you can always go back and change it again. Cheers Sue

almost forgot, after doing the changes scroll down and click on ah! Iv'e fogotten I think it's send but you will see what I mean Jillx

Hi Yvette, here goes, pmsl Pee myself laughing, but I think it's spelt with an i and two s's lol laughing out loud rofl rolling on the floor laughing to change your name go to accounts backspace your last name but put something else in, or you can just give yourself an allias now the bling is different altogether but all I did was use the punctuation keys love Jillx

Rolling On The Floor Peeing MySelf Laughing (I'm being polite} Laugh Out Loud and a special wattle one CUWL curled up with laughter. that's for those who can still control themselves :) By The Way - btw and if something is in uppercase it is shouting so is not polite to do it all the time. Just flying through, I haven't done the shopping yet. ~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Yvette sent you a couple of emails SuzyQ

help me out what's rofpsl pmsl lol i only know pms, poq, ok, doms + a whole heap of swear words - why do the boys only hear the mutters

Hi Yvette, Just go into my account details on the left and change it from there. I think you will have to put something in the surname, maybe just a full stop. You will have to get details from the others to get the 'bling'. You need the character map for that. A bit beyond my brain power at the moment. Luv SuzyQ

hi girlies, just got back from doing everything BUT the shopping. tea & toast to get back in the mood again. far out , i wish the rain would just rack off completely. my other half has hung out the washing, probably still be there on the weekend trying to dry. i have accu weather for shellharbour and it reckons the rain is off. background... i've been a member of gr for about 16 months now. i love it although i've never used these chat options. what i've missed out on. usually i don't have enough time. I've been working minimal hours for the last 4 weeks and have another 3 to go before madness hits my life. told them all to enjoy me while they can. how do you change your name up the top, even just to eliminate surname.

Oh dear, not sure if a clinic with singing Queen with nubian servants and the winner of the inaugaral straight jacket award would be a very good idea.

Donna Iv'e only just come in and of course have gone straight to the puta read your message and so I just want to say if you need anyone to come to the hospital with you at anytime I'm not that far away from the GC I know we have never met but I feel you are a close friend, that is what the Wattlers are all about I think. love and hugs Jillx

Mmm, trumped again, I see. Dr Trifley, I bow to you. Perhaps we can set up a clinic together, pmsl. Now wouldn't that be interesting. Dr Lew xxx

Good afternoon Wattlers, I think we are all getting a bit down with the dismal days. I know we need the rain, but it would be nice to get it all over in a couple of days, and then get back to the sunshine. Never happy are we. I have had a couple of bad days with the new meds. I had a bit of a hypo yesterday ( very low blood sugar ), and had to have a bit of a rest. But I am much better today. Sandra Happy birthday for tomorrow, I hope you have a great week end away. You got one of the good SIL. I'm not much into House, only watched it once, maybe I should take another look. Is it on at the same time as 24? Love that programme. It would appear that no one really cares about the Nicole/Keith wedding, but does anyone think they are a perfect match. Maybe she just has a bad taste in men. Just my opinion. I think we had better get organised for a meet with Donna, she sounds like she needs some wattle therapy. I have emailed her for some times. I have had a word with Trifley girls, and we are now the official Wattle voice of the mammogram and we will pester until we are certain that every one, and that incudes you Vonny, gets one. No excuses, it is very important. And that includes those of you under 50. Head count please and no cheating. Mary, I think your 'picky man' is playing games with you. He will probably wait a couple of weeks and if you haven't sold will make you a silly offer. Don't weaken. Lew, have you got any more news for us. Just imagine how that poor girl will feel to have her mother reject her twice. Sorry about Terry's hearing aids, could he have a bionic ear? If he has trouble watching TV, get him some uhf ear phones. My dad has some and he loves them. Can hear everything they are saying. He can even hear when he goes to the toilet with them on. Make sure you get the uhf ones. Cost about $80.00 from Dick Smiths . Hope the girls meeting for lunch had a good time. Forgot to welcome Yvette, Hello, I am the sane one from Queensland. Everyone else, have a great rest of the day Luv SuzyQ

I'll have you know, Dr Lew, I am highly qualified with certificates from Nirvana Health farm and a Doctorate in Natural Care from the Noodge University in Wigaponggu! T X

I just love it when that coffee kicks in! Now where was I? Of course.... Hi Shaz...very nice bling, it suits you. Good on you girl...getting a number. Who said some of us are obsessed with numbers?....huummph! The jokes were good for a giggle...we need to smile on a cold, wet day like today. Jill...where in Ireland did your grdparents come from? My maternal grd mother was from Dublin. Perhaps we are related...pmsl Jude 3DIY... have fun at work today. Don't worry....it's not long 'til the weekend. Hi Mary...take care on the roads during your jaunt to Canberra. If you get to meet up with Vonny or Gwenda take lots of pickles. We want to see you having a good time. Fingers X X X that the open house this weekend brings some results. Sandra in the Gong... 'Happy birthday for the weekend' Eat, drink and be merry for someone else is paying! Graeme & I did the Sydney bridge climb a few years ago....it was FANTASTIC. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Lew Lew...of course you are sane dear. Quiet, unassuming and timid.........just like me....pmsl How are the fishies going? No trouble with the kookas trying to nick them? Vonny....how's John? Hope he's feeling better. Anna...has Dixie started to eat properly yet? Hi Rebs...how ya going? Started the dresses yet. A most regal ~~~~~wave to all the folks I've had a CRAFT moment about and a hug to all their OH's. I'm taking Jessie for a wee walk while the rain has stopped. Which, by the look of the clouds, wont be for long. love Trifley X

Oi Imposter Doctor, I'd like to see your qualifications!!! You just leave the dishing out of drugs to the expert. Dr Lew, etc ....
