General Chat

Hi Wattlers, had a very unproductive day. Did a bit of grocery shopping, had coffee with a girlfriend, chatted for a couple of hours , walked 5k then put on a roast for dinner. I figured the window washing and curtains will still be there tomorrow...lol What a shame you missed lunch Laurie...you'll just have to organise another one...hehe Tassie the tv star, we'll be famous by association. Your home will be looking very flash with all the new furniture Mary. As usual I've forgotten what I was going to say. Hope you're ok Trifley, I like the idea someone had of setting up a martoonie drip....I can see it now...pmsl Back later Flakey

Laurie, I have had 3 emails from you so they are getting through. Jood

Looks like this is the only place I can get msg's across at the moment - my out box is full - going nowhere !!! Joodles, I cant get the msg to you about the Archives on Tuesday - but its good for me luv L

Lara, Joodles and I have just made plans to go to the Archives on Tuesday afternoon - so will look up your stuff for you then luv laurie

Back again . . . just remembered why I had put Zone Alarm to sleep before - I think it stops me getting a lot of emails. I am getting alerts from it every few mins this afternoon to say it has blocked something or other. So, if I dont answer something you send I am sorry - but I'm leaving it on so I dont get the dreaded errorsafe back again !!! cheers luv Laurie

hello all OH Laurie no lunch out with the girls sad so I guess tha means no archives either oh that's even sadder no just joshing mate sorry about tummy and tyre too B***dything but then harder to resist naughty things when out I think. Sun is back today and we went for walk on the beach much to the amusement of peeps here they said what happened electricity off or sumpin HeHe !!! We are supposed to be leaving here Tuesday to go down to Townsville but the part we ordered 4 weeks ago is not there yet pretty slow up here with everything actually so we won't leave until we know for sure it's there B***ger them we had the van parks booked too now have to ring them Monday to check its there and cancel van park if its not. Mary sorry you couldn't do your aerobics this morning but worth it when the A/C was being put in it is a nuisance when you arrange to have something done around your plans and then they get mucked up though as we did with the part for the van as we ordered it so long ago and rang last week to make sure it had been ordered and think the bloke quickly got on the phone and ordered it then for it to be still in transit GRRRRRR Trifley hope all went well today and you are home having a martoonie by now Got to go now talk to you all tonight Lara xx

Has to be a quick message Ken tapping his foot waiting for me to close off computer to go home. Sounds like the lunch was a riot- as usual when Wattlers gather. Have put some new pics on GC photos on Page 3 'the Money Pit' if you want to see what we do in our 'spare' time lol. For some reason I can't seem to get any more pics to load - keeps telling me I've exceded some sort of limit? so some of the progressive photos are missing. Glad to see everyone filtering back for a chat. Hope Trifleys ok - ((((hugs))))) Catch you all tomorrow - OH is getting grumpy! He wants to go home and sup some amber fluid in a VB can. love Jude

have looked now, hi mel - the day certainly turned it on for you. thanks for those, check out the tongue in the background lol be a devil send the other love Yvette

sorry, was at my fave place chilling out (washing line) so have only looked here not at emails...looking right now love Yvette xx

Awww Fanny I did send you all 3 pickles - it was only the 4th I didnt send on the grounds of incrimination (they might bash me) .. pmsl Jood

i really think you should share these photos, you can't tell us just a bit and leave the rest to the imagination. moos & piggies? hmmm glad you had a lovely time. yvette x

'Arvo from me too Wattlers, I have been super busy workwise so looking forward to weekend, don't have much planned so might get some windows washed, now it's sunny I notice the grot more lol ! Loved the piccies from ?Laurie was it, Tony's fridge and Lew's Shoes!! And Trifley's fantastic haircut!! I love it, but I don't want one myself thank you lol. ~~~~ c u l8tr Hz in Albury

Glad you had a good time Joodles, let me know what day you have free next week and if you want I will come to the Archives with you. Pleased also that your getting on with treating that high BP !!!! (Thanks Judy, Tony & Lew/Wattie for the Lotto numbers - everything will be crossed. . . ) luv laurie

Nope .. she didn't go to the archives, coz she didn't know the address (didn't think she'd need it) - but then it was 3pm when the party broke up (tho Mel had to scoot off earlier to pick up the kids) I was late - not by choice. .. Not sure if I've mentioned before that my bp has been up the past few months, probably since hospital in May. .. I have been trying to deny it - and when the Dr said I should take tabs, I stalled for a little while longer. .. He said at least get a bp monitor, which I did (and that was why I was late). .. I decided I was being a silly moo and that it could be dangerous if left ignored .. so I start a low dose tonight. .. and I have a brand new bp monitoring machine (courtesy my private health fund) I was the last one there today, Shaz all of a tizz wondering where I was. .. I was sooo sorry Laurie couldn't be with us. .. Mel is juuuuuuuuuuust lovely, as we knew she would be. .. Conversation flying in all directions, laughs here and there (funniest sight was when I tried to take a pickle of Shaz & Lyn and they insisted on holding each others double chins up for the pic. .. It was a scream .. not for publication tho .. lol We were all proper little piggies (apart from Mel) - and indulged in gi-normous desserts. .. The sun was glorious till about 2.30 when it clouded over and the temp dropped about 10 deg. ... crazy weather this. Jood

Afternoon . . . just thought I would fill you afternoon with endless chatter. I have managed to do some file cleaning up this afternoon, so all is not wasted!! I am sure lunch would have been better . . . TLR is going to be happy to come home to a cleared desk though. How is our little convict Barb today . . . poor thing I bet she was trembling in her boots yesterday, good thing she had big tuff Tony tu old er and' !! Teehee bet she pays her tax bill on time from here on . . . !!! Mary I suppose you have the Daiken all installed now, just waiting for some hot weather to turn it on - is the physio still helping John ??? I agree with you DIY Jude, Trifley is a brave queen, but I think she should tell Graeme she needs a new wardrobe now to match the 'do' How is the 'fanatic' going ???? Ah Sue, your going to be famous !!! Remember what I said about taking time off between the shift and the clean up over at the old place . . . take some time out - and dont thingk about the other place for a couple of days if you can. Flakey, how are the curtains looking ??? The girls will think they are at the wrong house when they get home !!! I had a good deal with g/f Sue up home, I did all her sewing for her, and she did the family hair cuts for us. I think I got the better end of the stick, mind you whenever we get together there is always a bottle of vino involved, so you had to make sure you got the cut as soon as you arrived ! How's it going Oh great one . . . got the tap in situ OK ??? Maybe you could look at hooking it up straight to the Martooni glass ?????? Nah - then you would deprive yourself of the tingle of the taste buds! Chocolate chip cookies eh Vonny . . . have you been eating while you have been online then ??? Now lift up that keyboard and give it a shake . . . . Only 2 sleeps Jilly . . . and Christmas is only a little way off - she will be home for keeps before you know it. Enjoy your time with your daughter! Match it Miss Mudgee - dont want you frying to a crisp out there by the pool . . . let Tezza pretend he is a nubian slave and stand by you with a big brolley!! Go on let him !!! That is great that the new pills are helping you Donna . . . see . . . being nagged to go to the Dr had it's reward . . . you will be able to go off for your break feeling a lot more like enjoying yourself. I know what you mean about the shopping and only getting things for others, but it gets better when they grow up a bit. Now that i have 7 day weekends and there is just TLR and me . . . if I dont get what I want today, I can go back tomorrow !!! We plan on having a weekend getaway . . . we are going to head off down the south coast tomorrow and drive until we find a place we want to stay the night - then drive back again on Sunday. I know we have been away, but after the few days back that TLR has had - he needs to be got away from it all. He went back to work to a mess, the sales manager had not done as he had been asked, TLR had a go at him - so he resigned. Found out he hadn't been at the office all the time that Ray was away - no wonder he didn't have time to do his jobs. Will drop back later and see how the lunch went - not long now till Joodles will be home and letting us know I'm sure (though she probably went on to the Archives on her own anyway) Catch you all later luv Laurie

Afternoon Wattlers. Beautiful day in Mudgee. Might go and sit by the pool for a while and read. Still a bit too cold for dipping just yet, but the solar heating is now on, so it won't be long before we're in. Sorry you missed the mini meet, Laurie. I bet they're having a ball. (((hugs))) to our Trifles. God only knows what people think when they see that hair, lol. Jill, pleased to hear about your daughter visiting. When's she coming back permanently? How's the boat coming along, Vonny? For those in Lotto, on special instructions from Wattie, I have purchased 2 mega picks (30 games each) for tomorrow night's big one ($22M!!!). Tony will send the numbers to you as usual. By the way, has anyone heard from Gwenda & Wattie? Bet they're having a great time. Well, I'm off to get some vitamin D. Lew Lew xxx

Hi all, what a mess that euro safe thingy was, Ron sorted my puta out for me but when I spoke to my son earlier it seems his puta crashed last night, and as he doesn't have norton he's not very happy with me as he thinks it has come from me via an e-mail, my sister got it too but she has norton so managed to get rid of it. Hugs to you Trifley, love the hair, it's brilliant! I'm on a bit of a high at the moment, my daughter arrives from the UK on Sunday with her boyfriend so only two more sleeps before I see her, I miss her so much it will be lovely when she comes home permantly. She coming home for a friends wedding which is on the 30th Sept. Luv Jillx

Awwwww Laurie, that's sad :( ~~~~~~~` to the others who will be talking 19 to the dozen no doubt. A FANATIC!!! :) You a fanatic Tassie? fancy that - I never would have thought it :) pmsl Hope you find all your bits! You had better point them in the direction of Trifley I reckon - now THAT hair is fanatical :) On my lunch break, anyone need pointers on Present Continuous tense??? Have a laugh for you. Although I had no pop-ups I thought I might as well manually empty the cookie folders last night cause I had never done it manually. So Tony sent me instructions and I managed quite well BUT in the process found 4 pictures of chocolate chip cookies!!!!!! AND I can't delete them cause source is unknown according to the computer. SO who sent me the Cookies?????? PMSL Going to look round, Vonny ~~~~~~~~~` and (((((hugs)))) to Trifley. may it all go really well :)
