Mmmorning Wwwattlers Brrrr bit cold here today. sitting shut up in my kitchen with the heater on, as this ol place is too big to have electric heating running all day when only I am here. House has no insulation and high ceilings. Warmer outside than in. Joodles as everyone else has said, take Lauries kind offer. I know from last year and Shazz can probably back me up, it takes a while to get over pneumonia, it is not just a flu or cold, you will need someone to look after you and help as you will feel like s**t and not have any energy to do anything. I am sure the others going to the BBQ will put it off for a few weeks. Hope everyone else is well. Cheers Sue

Ah Thanks Laurie, do you know what I actually do have a polka dot skirt somewheres, with net underline, will have to see if I can find it, dont know if it will still fit though, about 10yrs old and the old body has filled out a bit (lot) since then, he he, OK so it sounds like fun, was getting a bit worried for a minute, thought it might be a let down, my cousins daughter and son IL enter the comps as well, they are supposed to be pretty good and theyre only in their twenties Ta Shaz

Help.. am I having a CRAFT moment or have all the member nos disappeared from the site? Jude2

Hi Jude I can still run my pointer over other members names and their number shows up along the bottom bar. Is that what you mean? Cheers Sue

Hi Sue, if I click on a name I get date joined and number in tree but no member no.

Good morning Wattlers Chilly here today too - have a jumper on! The sun comes into our family room from the North and it is just beeeautiful sitting in there - Chris and I have been drinking coffee and doing the crosswords. Very lazy day. Dear Joodles - listen to your cuz and behave. Don't take any chances with your convalesence. Sit back and smell the roses for a while and let your body heal. And let Laurie make you chicken soup and bring you little delicacies to tempt your appetite. No - not Nefer you bad girl. Laurie, please give Jood my love when you are talking to her as she's not online. Shazz - haven't been to the Wintersun Festival but it sounds like fun. So glad you are planning to come to Brisvegas meet up. Don't worry about the Casino RebS - we'll wing it and will have no trouble finding somewhere to carry on. What time should we meet at the South Brisbane Station? Have to get the ferry and then be at the Casino in time to visit the Powder Room before 11.30. Daughter's choir won the trophy for gaining the highest aggregate for Secondary Schools - they are chuffed! Even though they didn't get a first, they got a 2nd in each of their sections and gained the highest marks overall when they were added up. Footy tonight - State of Origin, go the Maroons. Pizza and merlot for me! Hubby can have the pizza but not the grog as he is still on loads of medication. Poor darling! Catch you all later XX Anna

Hi Jude Yes I just tried it by clicking on your name and as you said date joined, number in tree but no member no. Im sure there used to be. Cheers Sue

Hi Anna Sue, verrry strange!

Afternoon Anna I have just been looking at Jetmail I received from Jetstar, They are having a birthday sale for those who receive Jetmail, and seats to specified areas are only $22.00 the travel dates are from July 19, bugger if they had them earlier I could have got from Lton to Melb, then Melb to Newcastle, then Newcastle to Brisbane for $66. 00 now that would have been tempting if they had been for 10 June :-((( Anyway hope you all have a great time. Cheers Sue

Hi Jude, Just tired also, looks like they have changed the format, used to be able to get their numbers Shaz

Hello to all Wattlers, Wafflers, Newbies, unwell persons, Chilly folk etc etc, Laughed out loud at your 'think before you speak' funnies Tony, can just picture that little boy !! I've just been amused by child in the shop about 2 and a half or so singing away while Dad browsed. She was so unselfconscious and beautiful and happy, it was a really uplifting few minutes. I gave her a Caramello Koala when they left for being so good for Dad. Jood Jood Jood, sending big healthy vibes your way xxx hugs xxx hopefully they will fix you up a treat, and Laurie you're a good fairy to help out, I hope Jood takes up your offer for some company while recouperating. Sandra good to see you still going to the gym, me too, I've gone three times a week for nearly a year now, I don't take much notice of the measurements they do each month so can't say I've lost weight but I have lost bodyfat and I'll much much fitter all round. I love the fact it takes 35 minutes and you don't need to wear fancy gear. I can do gym and quick supermarket pick-up and be home again in under an hour from where I am, it's brilliant. Anna I nearly posted yesterday and said you must have got close to Aggregate with all those seconds and you did !! Congats to daughter and her choir glad they are thrilled, really caps it off when theres an award at the end. Well last night turned into an impromptu dinner party as DD14's friend's Mum dropped her home late after school and I ended up feeding them both and even OH stayed up till 10pm had a wine or threee (try not io indulge during the week ususally) very funny and gossippy night, I'm going to go home early today for a nap and to make sure OH naps too because he will insist on staying up for State of Origin (go maroons), tv coverage starts at 9.30 pm? won't finish till late, I might make it to the end. We lived in Indooroopilly for 2 years late 1986/87/early88, my brother lives in Ashgrove still. Wally was king back then, we loved him. Hi to everyone else too numerous to mention, I do actually have to get some work done you know lol . Hz in Albury ( sunny and very cold)

Afternoon everybody. Just had some lunch and am back in the office. It's very cold and windy here this arvo. Not Nice! :-( Off to the hairdresser after work, must look my best for the Brissie Meet! Have a great afternoon yous all. Lew Lew xxx

Afternoon Wattlers, It was very cold here this morning, we had our first frost. The cat didn't stay out long this morning. My house was also designed by a man. The front faces west, we get all the afternoon sun, the mornings are like a fridge in winter. It is still only 21 in my lounge room. I wanted to change the house around so that the bedrooms were downstairs and the lounge upstairs, but Neville says it would be better to move. Joodles, I suggest that you take Laurie up on her offer. The weather is not suitable for BBQ's, even if you are 100% fit. I am also guessing that you won't be allowed out of hospital unless you have some one to take care of you, and who better that Laurie. You will laugh your self better. Neville has decided that he would also like to come to the Brissie meet. So I am trying to get the dog into a kennel for the night, and then we don't have to rush home, she suffers from separation anxiety if we leave her for too long on her own. Hope no one minds. Did the weekly shop today, I don't know about every one else, but my bill gets bigger every week. Things don't go up one or two cents, but ten or twenty. Laurie we went to Jimboomba today for a change, more choice than Coles in beauy. Where do you shop when you are up here? Well, I suppose I should say go the maroon's but I don't really follow football in any form. I will probably watch the 3 princes. On Sunday I watch a programme on ABC about royal pets. It was really interesting and gave you a very different view of the royals, especially the Queen. btw I am not particularly a royalist. Some Queens are better than other's. Pharoah and Qantas Queens are particularly nice. I will now walk away backwards, bowing, showing my respect for those of a higher station. SuzyQ

Hi SuziQ I do have to agree with you on the groceries getting dearer. A month or 2 ago I was getting my groceries for about $150 a week, now it is up to $170 and I dont seem to be buying anything different :-(( Cheers Sue

Hi Sue, That's about like me. A bit more some weeks, when Neville is with me. How is it he goes shopping with me, puts all kind s of things in the basket, and when I ask what he would like for tea, I get the reply ' What have we got' LOL

Its funny isnt it Suzi, You ask them what they would like for tea and their reply is always what have you got or whatever you like, yet if I ask if they would like anything different got in the groceries it is always just the usual. Maybe Tony has the right idea and we start being like Barb and take all the labels off the food and we can have 'Surprise' every night, save the stress of trying to work out what to have. lol Cheers Sue

LOL, SuzyQ. Do we mind if you put the dog in a kennel or that you are bringing Neville! He'll be company for Terry, anyway. Bet is real chilly in Tassie today, Sue. Wind here in Mudgee must be coming straight off the Antarctic, brrrrrr. Lew Lew xxx

Yes Sue, that's a good idea. Or maybe order out every night. Our problem is that no one delivers to us. LOL

Hi Lew Yes it is cold here today and the wind chill factor is just as bad, must be passing us on the way through from Antartic to you lol. No rain as yet just bloody cold, I think I would prefer the rain. Suzy yes takeaway sounds ok but doesnt do much for the figure, we have fish shops, KFC and Maccas just down the road along with Subway, which I dont mind ocassionally. Cheers Sue
