Good afternoon Wattlers And a Hap, Hap, happy birthday to Anna. I wont sing.....how's that for a pressie? heee heee Hi Jill.........it's a pity you and our wonderful Rebs didn't get together..........she lives at Redcliff in Brissie. I didn't read back far enough.....are you coming to the meet in Brisvegas? SuzyQ......you go get 'em girl. Don't let those bullies of neighbours think they are above the law. If you don't get any joy from the mayor, local member or ombudsman then threaten to go to the media. That'll move the pollies.....they hate bad publicity. Hi Joodles........healing thoughts on their way to you. I hope the chest x-ray reveals nothing nasty. Get plenty of rest. Thanks for the NAA site address. I found uncle Frank, my grandfather, Graeme's father AND Graeme! Haven't located dad or my brother yet, but I'll keep digging. I think I might have mentioned yesterday that we were going to Bunnings. We had to get some aquatic plant potting mix, for the papyrus and a few other odds and sodds. We also needed a transformer for the lights going in the bath......(.this is getting bigger than Quo Vadis) Anyway..........after paying for everything I looked at the trolley and couldn't see how we had spent so much money. After a quick scan of the docket I found the cashier had charged us for 2 transformers! We went back to the desk and got it fixed but it just goes to show........you should always check the docket before you leave a shop! Thank you very much...........we saved $60. I got the washing done this morning so now I get to concentrate on Graeme's spread sheet........oh joy! Think I might need a neck massage later. Have a fun day peeps and I'll catch you all later. ~~~~~waves from me on the Barge. Trifley X

Hi Wofflers Shazz .. I'll have to put off going to Lithgow for the moment .. well see how I am at the end of the week. .. I daren't travel at this stage, still under Drs care, and x-ray hasnt been read yet. .. I'll let you know by Thursday how I am. Sounds like you have a busy day Anna, but full of good and happy things. ,, Hope the weather is nice for you. .. Nice and sunny here, I'm about to hop back into bed, will be back later. I can't remember who has Nefer at the moment. Trifley offered me one of his brothers, but I didnt take her up on the offer (silly me). Jood

Hi everyone, may I also wish Anna a happy birthday and thank you, Anna, for the photos, haven't been able to view them as yet so I am going to ask a friend of mine to give me some puter lessons, not doing too bad a year ago I could'nt turn the darn thing on.lol. Went to Redcliffe for a picnic lunch yesterday and discovered they were holding a kite' fese,' their word, the kites were fantastic never seen anything like it. Redcliffe in case you don't know is north of Brisbane and on the coast, on the way home OH felt the need to go to BUNNINGS, of course he did not my most favourite of places give me antique shops anyday. Do you want me to get you the taxi numbers for Brissie? for those of you who are visiting in June. If there is anything I can help you with just let me know. Jill

Happy Happy Birthday Anna. may it be your best ever and I hope you have many more and lots of lovely presents too I shouldn't have watched the miners I had a bad night of dreams about being buried grief the dreams were bad imagine it in real life. Thanks for the 'goodnight' Julie I didn't see it till this morning so hence not a good night darn Going to work in the garden and change the bed etc today like they say a woman's work is never done, whinge whinge We are getting there towards locking up and leaving and we have just invited friends who are having a bad time at the moment health wise and can't take their van away they have to stay close to home and Drs to come and stay here while we are away, so just waiting to see if they can manage it it will make them think they are not missing out and make us happy too that someone is here and house will be safe, Josh is not staying here he is going into town and boarding while we aren't here Lew did you answer me re Watts who are in your tree if you did I missed it mate where do your Watts come from the UK please?

I am going to get new front door tomorrow that's exciting isnt it hehe you won't have to put your shoulder to it to get in hooray I'm off now with a wave to everyone see you all later today love Lara

Good morning everyone Thanks for the birthday wishes. We are in the middle of eisteddfod season here in Toowoomba and daughter's choir competed last night, and again this afternoon and tonight. So that's where I will be for my birthday.I don't mind though - I love listening to the choirs. Last night, they competed in the Modern Chorus Section and sang 'Wind beneath my Wings'. They sounded just beautiful and were awarded second place. Beaten by an all boys choir who had fabulous choreography but I honestly don't think their vocal standard was as good as our girls. This afternoon, she is competing in her small choir (Chamber Choir - only about 20 voices) and tonight it's the full choir again in the Hymn and Spiritual section. So I will just sit back and enjoy. She is in Year 11 and has been asked to play a flute solo in the Year 12 Extension music concert this Thursday evening so that is quite an honour. Next Monday she sits her Grade Five Australian Music Board Examination so it's all go, go, go. She gets nervous when she is performing solo - I do feel for her. Yesterday, we had a neighbourhood BBQ for lunch. Beautiful sunny day so was just perfect. We live in a small cul de sac and all the neighbours are lovely and we all get on well and like to all get together socially a few times throughout the year. Also, Chris's sister, husband and family visited from Ipswich yesterday afternoon and brought me a birthday cake so I've blown out the candles and made my wish. Not telling or it won't come true! Joodles - hope you are on the mend. This is a nasty bug which is going around. You take care. My hubby has been really sick with it - 2 lots of antibiotics, 2 visits to the doctor and he also developed conjunctivitis. He is an asthmatic so his asthma plays up which makes it even worse. He had to cancel some days work he had last week but has gone to work this morning so hope he is OK. Fortunately, the cold I had was just a cold and didn't last long. Didn't get to watch the miners last night as I was out but hubby taped it so will watch it sometime soon. Heard a bit of talk back radio lthis morning and some people are very critical of them trying to screw the media for the best deal etc. I say good on them - they certainly won't be returning to their jobs and from what I hear, they will be making sure that Larry's family wants for nothing. If I were in the same position, I would certainly appoint a media agent as otherwise you would have to try to deal with all the media yourself and I wouldn't know how to handle it all. Probably won't be back on much today as have a heavy schedule Luv to all Anna PS Trifley hasn't offered me Nefer for the day - just as well. He'd be worn out trying to catch up with me!!

Morning All It is a cool but lovely sunny day here today. Only expecting about 13 degrees but it is autumn, nearly all the leaves have dropped off the trees now. Last night I was also watching the story on Todd and Brant, like most people. Yesterday I had one of my 'secret womens business' meetings as David calls them. Happy birthday Anna hope you get what you wish for. Are you doing anything special? Lara I would have been the same as you, nothing worse than being woken up at ungodly hours of the morning. We used to have a person next door who had a dog, now I dont have anything against dogs but when they just stand in the middle of the back yard barking at the sky, GRRRRR, this went on nearly all night.. We did have a talk to her as she worked odd hours and she gave us her mobile number for when he barked we could ring well, he barked and we rang, 3 times in one night, each time she didnt answer her phone, typical, we did clap our hands when she moved out. Well must go and do a bit of FH sorting out. Will probably drop in after. Cheers Sue

Good Morning, Happy birthday to you, 21 today. Hope you have a great day Anna. Can't stay, I am busy writing to local council. On reflection, I think this man has his own laws. He always has fireworks at New Year, bearing in mind that we live in an area that is mainly horses. Well, Bye for now SuzyQ

Good morning Wattlers, got my breaky and sat down to read all last nights antics, finished reading before I finished breaky.....thats never happened before. Happy birthday Anna....is Trifely giving you Nefer for the day? Would be lovely to have a slave for the day as a pressie. A little overcast and chilly this morning but not too bad. Might make it into the garden this arvo. H*****k to do now ...yuk! SuzyQ, we used to have neighbours who started partying around 10 every sat night and finished at 7am. After asking nicely several times for them to tone the noise down (their party room is alongside our bedroom)we tried other tactics. Along with our other neighbours we used to mow lawns, trim hedges or garden with music blaring every sunday at 9am. They finally complained that they only got 2hrs sleep and were politely told 'we'll stop gardening on sundays when you stop partying on saturday nights' They still had parties but never on sat and they always finished by1pm. Back later Jude2
