Awwwww poor Blingless Wilson, almost looks like you said Wingless Wilson, .. now we cant have this. Here's one of my offcast bits you can have Wilson, just copy and paste to either side of ya name. .. ·:*¨¨*:· .... That will tritty you up a bit. Was what you were going to print, .... in Word ..... Wilson?? That is soooo sweet of you Jude, it would have been lovely too. I'll lhave to do with packet soup I think, yuk! Jood

Early evening to all the lovely Wafflers Hi Wilson....I can understand why you get frustrated with print preview and print. I've been trying to get a spread sheet done just the way Graeme wants it..........with no success. Copy/paste....cut/paste....none of it worked for me. So I ended up printing one part then running the pages through and printing again on the same sheet.........that did it! It would probably be easier if I knew what I was doing instead of just trial and error. I vote for Bunnings best of all. I can get lots of stuff for the garden, craft glues, paints, tiles, timber etc and a reasonably decent cup of coffee. Altogether, a pleasent way to spend a couple of hours. Now the miners................I'm very pleased they survived and good on them if they can make some money out of it. But I don't like channel Nine's journalism style so I didn't watch the show. My gosh....look at the time......I've been on this b****y puta for hours. I think I'd better get dinner started. See ya later. ~~~~~Trifley waves over her shoulder as she races off to find the 'Commonsense Cookbook'.

Ooooh I was a bit worried about you then Trifley, visualising you missing the barge and falling in the water. ... Do take care girl. .. Get Nefer to help you next time. Glad your spreadsheet turned out ok in the end. ... I've never had to use one, so I couldnt help you. Jood

Hi all, Raining steadily here in Springwood, Blue Mountains, snowing in Katoomba (half an hour further up), lightning somewhere in Sydney. .. Laurie did you bring the rain back with you? Lew lew .. you getting any? .. wot? woddoya think I mean - RAIN! .. Hope you had a safe flight in Laurie .. you may have seen some of the lightning. Its so sad, friend of mine who is a farmer near Castlemaine in Victoria has had to sell her sheep. .. She is in dire straits, but you have to admire them, they say that is what farming is all about .. good times and bad times. Jood

Hello Oz and all who dwell there ;-) i am switching off now, but will look later. Is Rebs ok? I keep missing her on MSN, and I haven't seen her about. Love to you all XXXX

She hasnt been on here for a few days lemon Jood

Evening Wattlers Hi Joodles..........isn't it a little early for snow in Katoomba? I would have thought a bit more into June. If it's a good fall people will be skiing down the main street. I remember when we moved from Winmalee to Mt Vic (18th Nov) we had 3ins of snow the next day. I gotta tell you......I don't miss the cold and damp. Any results from the X-ray? Hi Lemon....(Trifley stands on tippy toes to ~~~~wave). Nice to have you visit with us. I haven't seen Rebs since Saturday night. She was in top form and beat me to a '100' post. By the gods that girl is quick. It must be all the sowing and caligraphy making her fingers nimble. I admire the fact she is so talented. Gotta go...I'm looking forward to snuggling in bed with my book. <<<hugs>>> and ~~~~waves frome on on the Royal Barge. Trifley X X

Hello all Trifley ..... I thought so myself, re the snow, but thats what Channel 10 weatherman said. .. I hardly think it would be enough snow to ski on though, I'm not as cold here as I have been on some nights. .. Dont forget though we are only 8 days away from June anyway. No confirmed results yet, till tomorrow, only suspected result, so I will wait and see. Quiet around the place tonight .. I seem to be talking to myself. .. When you wake up tomorrow morning, do tell me the name of the book that is keeping you to close to bed ! Jood

Good evening wattlers - back in Sydney safe and sound thank you! I got a new name today . . . friend was with me in the Qantas Club so I showed her what a lot of nuts I mix with and she came up with a new name for me . . . I will just have to live up to it now! We had this great friend, Brian, who lost his battle about three years ago, and he gave us his theory on airline tickets. He said that when they calculated the price they took into account the cost of totally restocking the bar on board, so its up to each of us to get what we pay for! Ray and I always have a glass of champers as soon as the hostie appears with the tray and drink a toast to him - but the bubbles always make me sleepy - so I think I let the side down. But its nice that every time we get on a plane we think of him. We didn't get any rain on our flight, and the lightening only started after we had landed, (though like I said I was a little noddy) Home to an empty larder, but thankfully I had some soup in the freezer, so I know what I will be doing in the morning, shopping and washing. I will catch up with you all in the morning, let us know how you get on Joodles! cheers luv Laurie

Morning All and, no, Jood, we did get any blinking rain! *stomps feet* Hope you're feeling better. Lara, my Watts are from Nayland, Suffolk. Any connection? Road workers are back this morning to do the final pressing. We then have to wait for a few months before the tar sealing can be done. ~~~waves to everyone~~~ Lew Lew (38!)

Morning Wattlers Thanks to all for my birthday wishes. As I said, spent the day at the eisteddfod - daughter's choir competed in 4 sections and came second in each of them - couldn't quite crack a first but they did very well and sounded beautiful. I don't know if any of you know the song 'Fields of Gold' - they sang that and it really gave me goosebumps. Welcome back Laurie - sad to hear you didn't do justice to the free booze. Well - you can't really say it's free can you, but you know what I mean! Good luck with the shopping etc - back to reality. Love your new name. Very regal. Joodles - how are you. Hope all is well as you certainly haven't been your sizzling self. Hugs and take care. Brisvegas is gettting closer - Rebs, how cold do you think it will be down there? We haven't really had much cold weather yet but I guess in another 2 weeks we can expect a chill in the air. It rained - a little - here last night! 8 mls which is better than nothing. A bit of a drink for our parched gardens. I asked a question ther other day and not many people responded. I will repeat. If we ALL got together, how many of you are clinging to an accent from the auld country? In other words, how many of you talk funny?? SuzyQ admits to a Yorkshire accent. Come on you other ex poms - what sort of an accent do you have? Hubby is feeling a bit better thank goodness. He's off to work today. I was quite worried about him as he was having difficulty breathing. He has been on so much medication. Going shopping today so best get my glad rags on. Have a good day. XX Anna

Morning Wattlers, Thanks for the offer of your cast off Joodle, but Lara beat you to it and now hopefully i have some bling. I was starting to feel a bit plain amongst all the royalty and sparkle lol. I am now absolutely sure why I am not into office work,...lucky i am not a violent person or the computer would be out the window lol. I am trying to print out an information form to laminate to help staff at work know which information to send to different places. So it has columns and rows, i am using a word program and have finished it except for the printing. i will have another go at it later, don't want to ruin the day so early hehe. Have a good day all, Wilson with bling yea!!

Tjhanks Joodles and Trifley, hope you both well. Normally have a wee 15 mins with Rebs as one of us gets up and the other goes to bed....but I keep missing her. if you see her send my love. i am off to bed now, have a good day XXXX

Morning everyone from sunny Brissie, actually we had some rain last night not a lot but it's a start and it's very over cast at the mo. I would advise bring jackets it gets quite cold in the evenings and can be bl--dy freezing in the morning. Went to see Divinci Code last night, did it in style too, OH got two gold class tickets for his birthday, we both enjoyed it, it is what it is I think, just a fast acting mystery romp, great acting by Ian Mcelland (spelling) I still have even after thirty years in this beautiful country, a London accent although my UK rellies think I have an Aussie one. Congrats to your daughter Anna you must be so pleased. Jill

Yeh Wilson Welcome to the land of bling. Can sympathise with you re the columns etc etc - very frustrating. I actually knew a guy who threw his computer out the window from pure frustration! Cheers Anna

Good morning Wattlers from Botany Bay A very cloudy day, but the cloud is far from low, so a good view out there. There are 4 giraffes with heads held high, and a tanker is just leaving Kernell, so all pretty busy. We had a bit of rain here overninght, but not enough to rave about, though it did clear the air, and give the grass a drink. Anna, your friend with the puter out the window reminds me of Ray and the tellie . . . the boys were suppose to be doing homework, but instead were watching tellie, we kept telling them to turn it off, but we could still just hear it . . Ray went upstairs and threw the tellie out the window! I am sure you can imagine the number of times the monsters have told the story! I am on third load of washing already, balcony looking like a chinese laundry, but with the humidity I guess it will all end up in the dryer later. I think I have waited long enough before invading the neighbours, to pick up my mail - hopefully should be two certs there, and that should make sure the shopping trip is short - I will be keen to get back to see where they lead me. Catch up with you all later in the day cheers luv Laurie

Hi everyone........... I was surfing the Internet for research and came across this and thought it might be of interest or not to some of you...http://www*geocities*com/leesdream9 ............an historical australian site. Bye to all have a nice day CarolB

Going

GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Wattlers, Jood – take care of yourself – hope you are on the improve Anna – glad you had a good birthday. Congrats to your daughter and rest of the choir – is Fields of Gold the Sting song? Re your question on accents – we had Scottish tenants at one stage who had 2 small children. They said that if you left your homeland before the age of 4 you lost your accent, after the age of 4 you retained it. OH comes from Kent – doesn’t seem to have an accent although pronouces ‘th’ more like ‘f’ on some words. m-i-l on other hand uses the word ‘et’ for eat and always pronounces almond as al-mond. Anyone wanting to know where their rellies lived in Victoria & Queensland in 1903 or South Australia in1909 I now have a new CD with the electoral rolls for those particular years only. Only too happy to do lookups if I can be of assistance. I have given up the chance to be in the Library all day to get some more dreaded h*******k done, so I had better get my skates on – dishwasher is already humming and washer loaded ready to go. Laurie – glad you’re home s & s – thanks for the chocolate email – and I thought my b**t was getting bigger from eating it – must be cos I keep sitting on it – pmsl Hi to everyone else, have a great day – glad some peeps are getting a bit of rain – forgotten what it is here Catch y’all later Gwenda b****r - missed the big one - again
