Good Evening Wattlers. Have just returned from dinner in town with friends, as they wanted to see Lil (the car). Wow, Anna, Phillipa actually phoned you?? Does she prattle like a Wattler? I've only been helping her with her family history and when she said she was in Toowoomba, I asked if she knew you. Anyway, I hope she looks in on us. See Princess Laurie, I knew the Queen wouldn't be sharing Nefer and the brothers, ppppppppppp. I wonder, though, whether there are any cousins, lol. Please tell me that JudyVY isn't still on that blinking roof. For Goodness Sakes, will someone down there phone the SES!!!! Sorry to hear about the door Jood, very annoying, particularly when you forgot to check out the fireboys, lol. Martoonies in Mudgee it is then, Trifles. Who should we put in charge of making them? Mary, you? hermit? me thinks not!!! Hiya Fluffy, are you being a good duck? Laurie, you must be very busy with all your guest preparations.

Hi Wafflers Lambs fry......yuucckk Pruning.....yaaayyy....I love to prune! I've been trying to convince Graeme to buy me a chain saw. Anyone want any done? Martoonies at Mudgee....sounds like a plan I could deal with. Hey Crew...do you have the phone number of the local cab service? No drink and drive for the royal entourage. Put us down for the Sunday wineries and lunch trip thanks Crew. Hey Flakey Jude......how's the ceiling cleanup going? Princess Laurie....NO you can't have a brother on permanent loan....they're mine, mine, mine. How is the sleepover going? Ducky and SuzyQ....fingers XXX'd you might be able to come tomorrow. Vonny..I bet you're tired after your day out. How's your daughter going? Lara....drive safely Graeme is home so it's coffee time. Be back later. Hugz Trifley X

Rang ahead Flucky - told them I'd be late. .. Fortunately it wasn't as important as it could have been, but I hate not being anywhere on time. Jood

Jood, sorry.........pmsl......Did you make the appointment on time. Dinner tonight was CORNED beef........ Pam

A public holiday - oh yeah, I forgot - an exceptionally quiet week next week for me - see no-one, go nowhere - in fact I'm the only one in my family in NSW for a week or so as my dd is going to Adelaide for a family history meetup (her oh's family). Had another bad day - went to get the car out, now that the power is on, garage door wouldn't go up. .. Thought I must have locked it from outside with key, so took the remote and key outside, tried all ways - nothing, wouldn't budge - hey this isn't funny guys, don't laugh :( .. I had an appt 20 mins away, and just allowed enough time to get there. .. Sooooooo, back upstairs turn on pc, get phone number of the firies 3 doors down, raced downstairs, and lo and behold, not one, not two, but three firies turned up. ... They asked if they could go through the house to the garage, and one of them reached up and did the something I was supposed to do but didnt know how or where :( - so up goes the door, slightly crooked, stops, goes down, they straighten it - up it goes, stops - ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sh***t my key is still in the door. .. One bent key :( .. They said I should get the door looked at. .. Fortunately its covered by insurance, and fortunately after a call to NZ, two mobile phone calls and several local calls, I have someone coming tomorrow morning - heavens, at 7am!!! .. I don't think its a big job, I really just want him to check it over (it's never been looked at since I drove out backwards and my antenna went flying onto the floor (yeah, I know, I started to shut the door too early!) lol Hmmmm - did the firies believe safety in numbers???? .. Don't ask me what they looked like, I was too embarrassed to look - one was old. (at least) I left the car outside this afternoon, but now I know someone is coming tomorrow morning to fix the door, I feel confident in locking it up, knowing I will be able to get out. So endeth my day. Jood

Mary, you are so precious .........LOL Anna, I think when Jude sent a message as she was leaving work on Sat, she said she would be back on here in a few days. Maybe she had today offfff. Vonny, your poor daughter being so un comfy. She is lucky you are there to help with the child minding duties. Yvette, what long weekend. We don't have one here ........ WHY Dinner is served.........corn beef,cheese sauce and veges...Yum Back later Pam

HI all, quick pop in. have skimmed over the yak. but will need to look a lttle more closely to take it all in. esp the witty bits, hope its not too rude. Lew, you could noodle about in the nik with a scoop net to get out the bark chips. I want see the piccies tho. Are you all getting visitors for the long weekend? I completely forgot about it until the ladies reminded me today. Love to everybody from yvette x

Mary's one liners are tame compared to what Lara just called Ducky!!! and SusyQ's two liners!!!!! Literally PMSL here :))))))))))))))))) Just come back from taking grand-D to the Botanic Gardens. lovely afternoon. Her poor mummy is distinctly uncomfortable as bubs must be fully engaged and is pressing on nerves. Out this evening so not sure if I'll get back on. have a safe trip Lara. My hubby also prunes with a chain saw - must be a man thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~ to all Vonny

Hi Wattlers Firstly, Lew and I have suggested to Phillipa who also comes from Toowoomba to pop into the Wattlers Club to say hello - so if you see her please say hello. (Lew - she rang me.) Have we heard from Jude DIY since the lotto win - or is she still up on the roof? I'm getting worried about her. Juuuuuuuude...are you OK - come on down!!!! To all those affected by the wild weather - glad you came through it OK. I've been picturing you diving for bits of bark in your pool Lew. You need to get Trifley to lend you Nefer and the boys. I'm sure they'd do pool duties. Hi Lara - keep safe on the roads and hope you get to meet up with Ducky Fluff. Lara - my OH prunes with a chain saw. It's very disturbing when he gets going. Jood - whatcha up to? you've been very quiet lately which is not like you - glad to know that the wind/fires didn't affect you too much. The lamb's fry sounded delicious. Good luck with the visitors Laurie - sounds like you'll have bodies everywhere. Hi Trifley - have a happy meeting with Lyn. SuzyQ - 'Some enchanted evening - You may see a stranger.' But - remember what your Mum said, and don't talk to strangers. Catch you all later Luv Anna

I have to inform you lot that my one liner simply meant ..did the wind blow Jood away... Now all you people go wash your mouth out..pmsl...or I should say typing fingers.. I am just an inocent little bunny who dosent know what she types (sometimes)..(someone tell me what it means..) Whats Bill Clinton got to do with it.??? Just been down to the Mall and bought a table protector for the new table and a couple of new tablecloths..gosh I hate going down there...it is so busy..I think I am becomming a bit of a hermit.. Must go and get tea so back later Love Mary xxxxxxx

Afternoon Waffling/Wattlers, Did make me laugh reading back the posts today, poor Mary and your one liners and ceilings falling in anyhow glad everyone is ok after our wild weather over the weekend. lew the winery tour and the lunch sounds good so count us in. not much else to report so hope all is well what ever you are doing. cheers for now Sandra in the Gong

Hi Wattlers, I have been flat our for a couple of days, no time to smell the roses. Hopefully after tomorrow I can slow down a bit. Trifley, was hoping I could make it tomorrow but I don't think so. Please give my apologise to Lyn. You could just email the time and place and if I get lucky I might just turn up. Lew Lew i hope you magae to get the place tidied up. btw Neville says his organ is too big to bring to Mudgee. Sorry. Oh Princess Laurie, congratulations. I think you should get one of Nefer's bros on a permanent basis, one of the perk's of the position bestowed upon you. Hi Pricess DIY are you still on the roof. Flakey I am sorry be I too laughed. We have an ad up here for insurance, where a guy has his legs sticking though the ceiling and he is asking where the ladder is. Wife sitting down says she is still looking. Well I could just imagine you and Roy. btw, are you covered by insurance? South Pacific, my almost favourite, but it has to be the original. Jood, did you have a visit from Bill Clinton over the weekend. Thought I heard Mary say something about it. LOL Sorry Mary, I had to get that in. On a more serious note, I hope no one has been affected by the fires. Koralbyn, near here has had a bad fire over the weekend, luckily the brave firefighters manged to keep it away from the township. Those men and women are wonderful and all volunteers. Well, that me I going now, singing, ' I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair, ' I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair, Luv SuzyQ

Afternoon all Yvette, glad Possum is getting you acclimatised to the reds and whites. Lots of good reds and whites around Mudgee I'm told. Lew, glad you only had minimal damage from those winds. Apart from the ab fire are there any bush fires around your area ? Now, to get the wood chips out of pool, don a pair of goggles and a snorkel and go diving for the treasures.. lol... I would love to do a tour of the wineries, had already thought about doing one, noticed in the info booklet you sent, that there are a few companies who do the tours. Laurie, you'll have both your boys home for the weekend won't you - footy finals !!!!!! How is the cleaning Sadie - still get the giggles when I think about it.......... Catch you all later Pam
