Head is spinning......... Have been loading rellies onto Lost Cousins. Already had a few there but have just added some more as it's free this weekend. No luck though. You sure get dizzy after a while searching the census and then adding the details to Lost Cousins. I think I need some caffeine! Off for coffee...... Anna

And a good, good afternoon to you all. First thing....I spoke to Rebecca this morning....a slight mix up with the dates. The mammogram is next Tuesday. She is upset, of course and thinking all the worst things. My sister is going with her while she has the test and I'm going to the Drs when she gets the results. Thanks for all your thoughts. 28 is young for anything like this. I'm sure it will be benign but it's a rough time untill the Dr gives the verdict. Everyone seems to have something to do this weekend and I felt left out :( So I thought some retail therapy would be the go. IKEA at Springwood is having a sale so Jade (Mark's girlfriend) and I are going on Sunday. A 'girls/bonding' session. I thought it would be easier than the Pink Polo as it's cool, lots of places to sit and they have coffee! Any of you wanna join us? Speaking of coffee.....uuummm....time for some more. Hugz to all you wonderful crazies. love Trifley X

Hi Wattlers, quick note, quite busy. Belated 13th to Sarah, love those teen years, Mum and Dad will too darlin’ !! Congrats to Tamika on the first job success – roll on Xmas (she’ll be too busy working to spend all that dosh – time to start a savings budget!) ((hugs)) to all not well, repeat after me “every day I’m getting better and better” lol. Happy holiday break Vonny, take care in the countryside! Shazz, put those walking shoes on, look at your watch, and head out the door and walk for seven and a half minutes. Then turn around and walk right back again. There you are, you’ve done your 15 minutes for today. 15 mins a day keeps the doctor away! I’ve never used Lost Cousins so might give it a try. Am feeling lost on Ancestry since it has changed, can’t find my peeps, but I suppose I’ll get used to it. Ok going for food (Friday is kebab day!), have some more bookwork to do this afternoon and if I finish I will be more than up to date , have a great weekend everyone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hz

Morning all Perfect day here today although we are supposed to get a storm later. Am a bit sore today, think I pushed myself too much at hydro yesterday. Didn't know you had so many muscles in your b*tt. Might go for a ride and see if that helps. Everyone going away for the weekend, enjoy. For the sickies, hope you are feeling better as the day goes along. Trifles thinking of your g neice. Will be back later Pam

Toodles Shaz

Good Morning wonderful wattlers Vonny have a wonderful weekend communing with nature -glad its you lol - I'm a motel kinda girl (says she who has been living in chaos every weekend for months - several of those without floors or a kitchen!) Gwenda so glad the legs are ok - did the Dr admire how toned they were after all your walking. Maybe the swelling was from over use? see excercise isn't good for you ( Jude ducks a big smack from Fanny and runs off laughing) Lara welcome home - looking forward to lots of news Well Flakey will be in the air half way to Hamilton - she is missing a great day here in Melbin. Tassie great news - congratulations Tamika especially the discount part. Trifley ((hugs )) and your great niece will be in all our thoughts I'm sure. Went to bunnings last night on the way home from work - had to exchange some decking oil - sent Ken down for it - and he came back with treated pine oil when we needed merbau! Just had to visit the garden dept. so got some new herbs and some potting mix. On the way back to the register spotted 'pink' globes and thought wonderful I'll get one for home and the other one to put on the front porch of DIY manor (Mary must have sent me thought waves on this one!). The other pink globe I put in the downstairs loo and waited for which one of the males in the household would make a comment. Jonathon came out to me later in the night saying why is there a pink glow to the loo? - . He said its very disconcerting for a bloke to p** in pink light. He said its like the blue lights to stop drug users. pmsl- Its now on the back decking - wait until Ken tries to BBQ next - lol. I also bought Cleo a pressie- some cat grass - I must have got some puss plus points up she was elated - Ken grumbled whats wrong with her eating ordinary grass. I swear she gave him a dirty look and then she stalked off in a huff. She went and sat on the ducted heating vent just because she knows it annoys him.lol Shazz glad to see your back in form. Fluffy only washed Cleo twice and decided it just wasn't worth the shredded body parts -mine not hers. lol Well best do some work to earn my keep catch u later ~~~~ hello to everyone I haven't mentioned xx jude

Morning peeps....:>)) Public holiday allocated today in Melbum in honor of myself.....lol Sunny day...so far....Shhhhhhh Sarah thanks everyone for their birthday wishes. She had a quite 13th compared to most teenage birthdays. Funny kid...dosent like parties, or whoo-ha, and prefers just a couple of mates to share her birhday. She did quite well in the pressies, but only wanted one gift...Yes, a new mobile phone ( as most teenagers want ) so the plastic bought her one of those LG 3 prepaid that does everything except make coffee. I really think Sarah was being kind to her mum, as our house inside is A over T at the moment. The main bedroom is in the Lounge. The lounge is in the Familyroom. The family room is scattered to the 4 corners of the house stacked in boxes, and you need a road map to find out where you might be sleeping at any given time.....LOL C'mon.....you didnt really think Barb was going to let me stop at the Main bedroom.( She's a woman ) Strike while the iron is hot.......is her Motto....hee hee Sighned:Yours truly. Have paint brush will travel...Oz Tassie. Congrats for Tamika mate. Nothing like being independant. My elder girls started there first jobs at Safeway's, Priceline, Myer's and the likes. Great experiance learning how to deal with he general public.Best wishes to her. Trifley. Best wishes and positive thoughts for your G,Neice. Vonny. Have a great holiday mate. Camping is one of my favourite past times, but dont get as much time now as i used to, but i can feel a fishing trip coming up soon with a few mates. Jude. ( Flakey ) Have a nice trip to Hamilton. I'm sure you must have shares in that Island.........lol Everyone else coming and going. Enjoy. Best wishes to all the sickies. Take care. Have a great day peeps. Tony Oz.....:>)))) Flat out like a lizard drinking.

But Anna, I'm not sick :( pppppppppppp to Lew (but you deserve it *kicks ground with her foot, just coz she doesnt have a pool to practice in and get slim*) Thank goodness my years and years of hayfever are over. .. I thought it was just Perth weather that made me sneeze, Canberra was no better as we were near farms, moved to Sydney - just as bad. .. Then after about 20-30 years it suddenly stopped - I might get one bout of it a year if that. .. Woo hoo Jood

PS, Gwenda. I'm still working on transcribing that Will. One of the worst pieces of handwriting I've seen. Even Terry agees and he has way more experience reading old documents than I. Lew xxx

Morning All, well Laurie, I'm actually Sneezy this morning. All this dust has finally taken its toll and I'm full of hayfever. It will pass. Trifles, hugs supportive hugs for the great niece. What a frightening time for her and her family. Gwenda, I've had trouble before with swelling whilst travelling and I found that it's because I didn't move my legs enough while just sitting there. Now I do lots of leg movement and that seems to have done the trick. Must have losts a little bit of weight, 'cause I'm wearing a bra today that I normally can't. Gotta be happy about that! Vonny, have fun camping and avagoodweekend. ~~~waves to all the others she hasn't mentioned~~~ Lew Lew xxx

Morning Back to sorting the paper work - yuk! Email from OH - had a great day at Rottnest - went snorkelling, they caught lots of fish and had fresh fish for dinner. I hate fish:>( Jood - I really think you need some more chicken stock ...!!! Good wishes to all who are feeling yukky ((((hugs))))) To everyone else - have a great day. XX Anna

For those of you not on their mailing list . . . LostCousins is free to access for the weekend if you want to give it a go . . I have had some good results there luv Laurie

Hi again Been busy putting some stuff on ebay. .. Haven't sold anything for months, Ebay got worried, and said I could sell 5 things for free, so rushing around grabbing stuff. .. (All new, I might add) And last night I did my tax on line - bit nerve racking. .. I have done it the last two years. .. So quick, really. I'm still on chicken herding duties, or should I say 'kicking broody chook out' duties for another two days. .. It should be reasonably quiet tomorrow to go up, when the practice runs are on at Bathurst, as most of the traffic would have arrived there. .. Monday I am heading up the mts to a meeting, so it won't be out of my way to drop in to DD's house. .. She's 15 minutes drive away. Didna wanna wake up this morning and it was after 6.30am too - not like me. Poor Lyn, didn't mean to shame you that much (I found her on that OTHER thread, Wattlers - tsk tsk) Enjoy your camping weekend Vonny .. I've been to Dhue National Park many times with the four wheel drive club. .. I guess I miss that most of all. .. Being in the bush, sitting round a campfire, being with friends. Grey & white clouds outside today - whether that means rain, hard to tell. Jood

oops :>)) yx

Good Morning Wafflers, A little grey on the bay this morning, some darker clouds gathering on the horizon, so maybe some rain on its way here today . . . I will be trying to push it west!!!! Three giraffe necks stretched high, and a block of flats is headed out of the heads as I type. Hope Sarah had a lovely birthday, I'm sure Mum & Dad enjoyed it too. Looking back, the teenager years were amazing, those baby individuals turning into adult individuals, taking on causes, developing their own oppinions on things outside the family walls . . . at the time I didn't think I would survive . . Am sure my parents felt the same way. Will be thinking of your girl today Oh Great Queen! Hope the legs are OK Gwenda, must have been a big scare for you - its something that is on my mind heaps when I travel. I guess Tamika is on a high, Devily, good on her! your little girl is growing up! Phew, now your budget wont have to be stretched to cover the 'girly must haves' not to mention the family discount card! Twas lovely when Glen worked at Woolies - nice padding on the grocery bill in particular. How are you this morning Suzy Q ?? 1000mg Vit C EVERY morning . . . !!!!! Lewcrella - which one of the dwarfs are you this morning ?? I woke up Sleepy, but hes gone to work now. Enjoy your weekend camping Vonny, and Flakes have a great time up at the wedding - Lara, you have a lovely time at the wedding down sowf too . . . and enjoy the visit from Cassie and Jason even if it is only a short one. Nice to see you back to giving a bit of cheek Shaz . . . hope you threw that diet shake stuff away. With all those extra Rams Trifles, you will be looking to buy a bit more dirt soon . . . or at least a few ewes, they are all going cheap at the sales at the moment - apparently sales were way down at Wagga markets yesterday, Oni had some at the sales there the week before and prices were about double - she is kicking herself now she didn't send more. They still have a fair bit of stored grain, but no water ! Morning Joodles, Devily, Vonny, Lyn & Yvette (X2), you have all come in since I started to type this . . . got sidetracked!!! What have you got on your agenda Joodles . . ?? Are you still on chicken herder duties or is little family back home ??? Waffled enough . . . best go put a load in the machine (not as organised as you Vonny) Have a good one . . luv Laurie
