Hi Joodles.. Do you have a blood pressure machine.. Would be a good idea as you can keep a record of your blood presure and see if it goes up to much..OH has one and has found it extremely useful.. Love Mary xxx ps.. Jood you are always welcome to come and have a swim anyday... ppps I think everyone has weekend itis,,,,sleepy heads...

Wots this about wakey wakey Mary - I bin awake for 2 hours now .. pmsl Your french dinner sounded sooo lovely Mary - things are going sooo well for you now. .. One of these days I will visito your pool!!!! Sort of felt a bit funny this morning after my first BP pill - not quite all there! But since I've had a shower I'm beginning to feel normal again. .. I'm amazed the effect one BP tablet has on me. (sorta like the VB tablet after many of them, eh Tony? lol) A visit to the dentist for me today - have some sensitivity in a back tooth and I rather suspect a filling will be required. Off to feed my face - certainly nothing wrong with my appetite lol Jood

Come on you lot.. Waky waky rise and shine... A beautiful day today and I think I will have a swim today...The new Daiken works well and the unit was lovely and warm last night.when we got back from our dinner.. The French night was a great success and the food was loverly. French Onion Soup with the crusty bread floating on top Boned breast of chicken done with a lovely sauce resting on a bed of mash, with snow peas and a baby squash with a lovely filling in the inside of it which tasted yummy but dont ask me what it was.. some sort of tomato mixture I think. Then the usual yummy profiterolls with icecream and a lovely strawberry sauce.. With that we had 2 bottles of wine between 3 of us as DIL was driving poor thing .. I think I will have a quiet day today and try and clean up all the dust due to the drilling through brick walls yesterday. Back later and will get around to sending a pick or two.. Love Mary xxxxx

Just checking in before I hit the hay, TLR came home and wisked me off out to tea and a night at the club - and when we came home I fell asleep in the armchair !!! Too many drinkiepoos I think!! Lovely night though - good music, good food, and good company. No sign of the Queen, poor love hope sleep is coming easy. I had a big freeze this afternoon Joodles, but eventually my msg's went on their way - for a time they were backed up going nowhere . . . think it was a server problem though. Think I have found the right button to flick to get ZA to let the mail thru . . . but it threw a lot to the wind on me today. Glad you gave up that idea of spring cleaning Flakey, can't have you showing the rest of us up . . . 'A clean house is a sign of a broken puter!!' Seems Joodles and Yvette were playing more that word games tonight . . . number games featured there too !!! Next time Mel . . . Hope you get a little rain on your turf now - does wonders for it !! Mary what did they dish you up for 'French' night - snails ?? frogs legs ?? French fries ???? We have a nice little French restraunt down on the corner here, very good food, and a lovely atmosphere too. I am quiet partial to the old snails myself. Will ring you tomorrow Shaz - too late now - you are a sweet thing !! Ah Anna - love Carnival of Flowers - enjoy it for me. Is it still as spectacular even with the water shortage ??? The gardens in your city are so bootiful, Rays 'ex-sister' (he deleted her - teehee - I'm not even allowed to have her on our family tree) used to live up there years back, she had a glorious old home up on the range, with massive gardens (and a gardener to tend it). It was wonderful, little rooms all over the place - sadly it was developed and is no more! The ex-B-I-L was psych proffessor at the Uni up there. Teehee The B-I-L was the Navy psych when I was in the WRANS, interesting having him access me for promotion so it was!!! (I was ony the girlfriend at the time) . . . memories flooding back . . . . Better get off to bed so catch you all later . . . have a great weekend all !! cheers luv Laurie

Shaz - your provider - Optus should help you free of charge - any time - even now, tonight, but use your mobile when you ring. I vaguely remember what Yvette is talking about. .. Ooops I see you are going to contact them. You are going out with Pat Shaz??? Cat - Fanny & I are playing games - errr - word games, I mean! .. I dont think she's looking at numbers now. Jood

Evening Wattlers It's Carnival of Flowers in Toowoomba and have been hanging around the main park all night whilst darling daughter listened to some horrible rock band. It was freezing. The things we do for our kids! I'm going to have a hot cup of coffee. Anyone heard from the Queen? Good on you Fanny for getting the number. Thanks Jood for the pickles of the mini meet - you all look in fine form. Glad you had a good time. Shame about Laurie. Have your email addy now Mel. Thanks for Lotto numbers - Tony - Wow! we have a lot of chances again this week. That Wattie is no doubt too busy to speak to us. Goodnight all See you in the morning Hugs Anna

Not been too busy yet Yvette but will be soon :-) Jood I believe there will now be 86 lolol ;-)

I kinda remember that dial up has different limits to how long a single session length can be. Mine used to close after 20 minutes of inactivity, or 5 hours continual usage on line. that means after a certian time i would have to log on again. You can fix your 'puter to stay connected to the maximum allowable (set by your server) time , or prevent logging off via inactivity,. ie, automatic refresh at regular intervals. I haven't had it for a while, check your account details. If the technician came courtesy of the int. provider, they may have a certain time frame they set it for. which means you end up making lots of calls just to log on. yvette x

It's a bit hard Shaz, as you have Optus net and I have Internode. If I were you, I'd ring the Optus site and ask them to talk you through - its probably just clicking on something and unchecking or checking a box - that simple. Was Poss. thinking of you do you think Fanny .. lol .. I agree it was not nice of him. What's this fixation you have with the clothes line Fanny? Puss there is only about 90 numbers to go till the next one! Jood

Hi Jood, What I was asking is that, the machine tells it to log off after an hour of being on, instead of me closing it down when Im ready to, the techy has done that and im not sure how to turn it off Shaz

Gee you lot are nice, you let me have it hey. hi puss, been busy? love yvette

I was in town waiting for a bus lolol

Fanny - she might be in the Weekender sabotaging a number there??? Jood

the ending's always different hey? the cat always just sneaks in and grabs it. we're (i'm)much too boisterous. I don't sneak off to the laundry, only the washing line. lol. we haven't got anything good to munch out on. Bought possum some gluton free orange biscuits, but my remarkable self control stops me eating them. I'm not happy with him though. One of the ladies at work gave him this huge box of yummy choccies. he shared them around the staff room, gave his students some, gave me a handful, then took them back to work and left them there. i nearly chucked a hissy fit - he said he didn't want to contribute to the posterior, or even provide the temptation. how caring !!!!!Not love Yvette x

Yes she did Mary - after all that - and Cat wasnt around either!!! Shaz you are soooo funny!!! I didnt even notice the girl in the back of the photo. You'll have to ask the maestro Tony if he can obliterate the tongue lady - wonder if he could obliterate a few wrinkles as well? .. pmsl I'm not exactly sure what you are asking re internet asking you if you want to stay on or not - its that long since I had dial up - I can't even remember. .. Can anyone else help Shaz? No I am pretty sure Fanny got it - she's so excited she's gone off somewhere, probably in the laundry to eat some oaty fruity chokky thingy. Jood
