Happy birthday Barb - .. I'm sure Tony didn't really forget your birthday!!!! .. (He just says that) .... Happy bowling too, I love it. .. Just don't do what I sometimes do, go to bowl the ball and it drops and goes backwards :( .. <always gets a few laughs too :( No firies (flies, sorry) on me, Lew :)) Mary - I'm torn between two sides - one half of me says Swans, the other says Eagles. .. I mean, Swans are Perth's emblem too - which makes it difficult. At least I am not wearing either colours today - so it can make up its own mind who wins .. lol Jood <who is not really here, she is in her bedroom making the bed, or rather, she is supposed to be!> Thanks for the update Ma'am (Lew)

Happy birthdayBarb.. Hope you get spoilt rotton and make sure that Tony barracks for the SWANS....... Love Mary xxxxx Morning all... back later..

Happy Birthday Barb. Looking forward to meeting you in February. Makes sure that Tony waits on you hand and foot. Tell him to do a Nefer impersonation, lol. Lew Lew xxx

Morning everyone. Iv'e been up early too....:>)) Got up about 30 min ago...lol, and watched the Grandfinal breakfast on 9. Then remembered it was Barb's birthday today, so made her a cuppa and toasted some crumpets with jam and bought them up to her on a tray, with a few pressies to open. Barb requested that we go ten pin bowling for her birthday, so booked a lane for tonight. Both Barb and myself played league Ten pin bowling for years before we lost interest. Will be watching the Footy today, so go the Swans. Hope everyone has a great day catcha ron. Tony Oz...:>))

Morning Wafflers. Beautiful sunny day in Mudgee with temperature currently 17C, but expected to reach 23C. Great to hear from you Pat and give our Lara a big hug when you see her tomorrow. Vonny, when are we going to see pickles of baby Ella? Mary and Laurie, have fun with all the visiting families. Joody, Joody, Joody, what are we going to do with you? What will the neighbours think with those firies always being at your place????? Now, girl, you just behave. I'm pleased you've got a nice dr, Trifles. Mine is too. He's also a friend which helps. ~~~waves to all the Wonderful Wattlers~~~ Off to do some research for some 'Trying to Find' folks. Lew Lew xxx

Morning all :) beautiful day here. saw bubs again yesterday and she is still cute as :) Her mum was up and about and had made dinner so asked us to stay for tea!!! can't get over these modern mums!!!! Mind you, I remember my own mum saying the same thing :) So much changes over the years. D says that the way the hospital does some things has changed even in the last 18 months!! Ducky, she was in a 4 bed ward and she doesn't mind being woken up for her own bub, but can't stand being woken up by others!! She also has a wonderful husband who helps her sooooo much. Thanks for the numbers Tony. I'm off to the shops to buy some folders :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Good Morning Jood, Mary, Heather and anyone else lurking about. I might just beat you all up tomorrow as we start Daylight Saving tonight, so we will be an hour earlier than everyone on the Eastern side of Aus for a month :-)))) I love Daylight Saving time !!!!!!! Well we have the best day here, cool at the moment but sun is shining brightly with hardly a cloud in the sky. I have also been up for a while, already done a load of washing with another nearly finished, wiped down all my windows from the condensation, I dont know why but the other house didnt get as much???? maybe smaller windows and wasnt as bad, not that Im complaining. I went outside this morning at just after 5 to get the paper and it was a beautiful sunrise just starting, with pinks sky on horizion and the city lights below :-))))))) its not a bad view from here. Jood yes dial up is better than nothing I suppose but when you have been spoilt with broadband for about 2 years you really notice the difference. Ooooh footy food ............... I forgot all about getting food and drink ..... quicky checks bar :-))))))))))) its ok we have a bottle of Bundy and a botlle of Beam, no Woody so we will go without that today and we have chippies all we need now is a BBQ and we could sit outside and have a barbie :-)))))) Me being the fanatic that I am :-))))))))) I am not going to go for any team, I cant ........... they are not my colours, but I will be watching it and hopefully the umpires dont make bad decisions that effect the result of the game. May the best team win. Oooh one last thing, I used to follow a team called City South over here before they merged with another team, the great Roy Cazaly also spent some time with this same team when they was just known as City, now their colours were Red and White and I still have my beanie, sooooooooo maybe I could just wear it for today and think I am still living in the past pmsl. Im going now gabbled on toooo much, must get breakky. Cheers Sue

Mary, Ive been lurking for hours - currently doing family history on my daughters side (ex husband) (I'm referring to ex mother in law who we discovered was adopted, so having a lot of fun chasing this family who appear to be pioneers in West Oz - including our very own <well, not mine> convict) .. Already we have contacted some <of the new> family members in West Oz, and even tho I am not directly related, will be meeting two of the ladies when I go to Perth. .. Seems one went to the same high school, class, and business college, same year, tho we didn't know each other. .. There'll be plenty to talk about !!! Its 8:18am now and I'm still very cold. .. It's lovely and sunny outside, and I think it will be a beaut day. Hz - I bought my footy food yesterday - tater chips, and lite beer. (didn't do the prequisite exercise tho!) Think I'll warm up and have a nice hot shower. Brekky sounds a good idea too. Have a great day everyone Jood (and may the best team win) I mean .... who can I barrack for - Sydney or Perth ???????????????? .. :(

I'm up Mary - trying to read back oodles of pages missed earlier in the week lol. Giggling away to myself over porridge! Have put away last night's ironing, about to go out to veg garden and pop in another row of radish, then it's time to go to the gym and shop for footy watching food. Back later ! ~~~ Hz (looks sunny out but temp could be low)

Morning All.. Come on just because its Sat. dosent mean you can sleep in... Beautiful day today and the sun is shining and I am about to have brekky.. Hi Pat Nice to see you,, is the Lady Lara behaving herself. Give her our love.. Joodle Where are you.. Dont tell me you are sleeping in this morning..must be cold up there in the mountains.. Back later ~~~~~~~to all~~~~~ Love Mary xxxx

Nighty nite, sleep tight Don't let the bed buds bite Ducky

I'm still here, ducked over to that 'other' thread .. the one I refuse to participate in. .. Looks like someone has been rebell-yus lol Its boring. Safe driving Lara Wilson - are you home yet?? Cilla - results ??? Tassie, Shaz, - nice to see you back Tony - Thanks for the lotto (you did say they were winning tickets didnt you??) By the way mate, cable and adsl are tops, but dial up is fantastic if it's the only option you have when you are away from home .. lol <I'm sure Tassie will vouch for that> Jude - do what Lew did - go to the hair dressers and get all tizzied up, and Ken will say you look luverly .. lol Buggar this - I'm off to bed - I said that before, didnt I?? Jood

Isnt that girl cheeky - Mary, I mean! She has me chasing firies .... not true - I didnt even know what they looked like except one was old, and fat - I was too embarrassed to look! But I was given the name of a gastroenterologist (hmmm big word) tonight - he flirts I'm told (probably not with me, as the girl who told me was much much younger) .. as you know, my poor Professor gastro. etc.... suffered a brain tumour. .. such a waste. I hope I am not procrastinating when I say I'm gonna work real hard over the weekend - on the house, not the computer :( .. well I will try. Bedtime now Jood

Goodevening Wattlers. Just thought I`d let you know I had a phone call from Lara this morning, she is staying at Maryborough QLD at the moment and she is coming out on Sunday for a visit, and I am looking forward to meeting her, it will be nice to put a face to her name. Cheers Pat QLD.

'evening All, What a big week! I'm like Tony, TGIF. I also saw 'The Devil Wears Prada' last night with a big bunch of friends, loved it, Meryl Streep's character didn't have to say anything for you to know what she thought!! I give it three stars out of four. I am thrilled tonight to discover that DD's weekly school newsletter has photos from Japan attached, so we have seen her at a temple, at the markets, on a train and at the host school in classes which have included phys ed (volleyball and kendo), calligraphy, chemistry, English(!), and they all look very happy. And DD's best friend has had an email saying that the boys are very cute ! (her mother told me!!) Oops, phone ringing again, the parents network is working tonight now the photo's are up on the site.~~~ will catch up over the weekend, go Weagles.......~~Hz

Evenin All Vonny, how did new Mum get a great sleep having to get up umpteen times during the night. That is the best part of being in hospital.... You enjoy your weekend and treasure the cuddles. Trifles where do you get an understanding dr in this day and age. Had a wonderful dr before we came to the island. He had been our doc for over 25 years, and had been through thick and thin with us. The drs we have been to here are very ...mmmmm.....I think the word is clinical, maybe uncaring........dunno It is obvious Tassie is now on broadband.....emails ...... yea. Flakey, hubby needs to shout you a really good massage........you deserve it.. We have lots and lots of tiny little frogs here especially after it rains. They only grow to about an inch long and come in lots of colours ..... green, yellowy green, silvery green, bronzy green, goldy green......Oh so cute. Love living in my roses, in particular the ones whose petals last longest. Jude 3...LOL re your friendly little Chinese man. Fingers double xd Thanks for the email Tony re the lotto numbers. Better get a move on designhhhhhhhhhing that bed. Daughter's holidays will be finished soon.. Had home made spag bol last night including garlic bread...Even had a bottle of red (not normally a red drinker) , a cab merlot - clean skin. Absolutely bewdifuuuul. And cheap too, only a couple of dollars - would have bought a case or two or three if we had known it was soooo good. Luv ya Mary Anna, be firm but loving....take care If it doesn' take too long to load up, will be back later Pam
