Blimey Lara!!!....Dont tell Barb Neil Diamond & Elvis the pelvis tribute is on........she will have to bring her 'Dribble bib'.....lol She wont even notice I'm there...:>(((( Have emailed you. Tony Oz..:>))

Thanks Lara, Count John and me in for the show if others are happy but we won't worry if we don't go. Let us know if you need the money to book. Vonny

Don't it make my blue eyes, Don't it make my blue eyes, Don't it make my blue eyes, Navy Blue. hehe!! Rebs x

Evening All From a tired and worn out, but very happy Wattler, I cant remember who said what and I couldnt be bothered writting on word as I was reading so I will just mention what I can remember, and hopefully get the right names in the right places, Tony and Lara thanks for you winning wishes for the match today, Hope the pies go ok tomorrow. Rebs yes Mersey Valley does have nice cheese. Didnt get to see much of the car racing over yesterday or today, but from what I heard I didnt miss much as those red group got most of the placing, Ooh well at least it wasnt for championship points so the blue ovals probably werent trying too hard hee hee. I saw mention about smoke alarms, I think Anna mentioned it, we have 2 smoke alarms in our house, and on Thursday evening one of them started beeping so we had to climb on furniture, as we have 12 foot ceilings, and had no ladder here that we could use, didnt want the thing beeping all night. so we changed that battery, then last night the other one started beeping, and yes you guessed it we still havent got the ladder from the landlord, so up on the furniture again. We have got a prob with our computer, no happy Jan :-((( We have 2 hard drives and David did an online virus scan and now we cant access the second drive, which we used for a storage drive, so guess what is on that one ......... You got it all my family history stuff, I have got most of it on disc, but I havent backed it up for the last 2 months, I havent added a lot but there is a bit, so that will teach me to be more vigilant and back up every time. Well must go catch you tomorrow, I hope unless this puta shuts down completely :-(( Cheers Sue

Thank you for reminding me about smoke alarms devilly - they say you should replace the batteries when daylight saving changes, which was last night - they apparently last a year. Im lucky, I can ask the firemen to come and change mine (for free) - they are only 3 doors down. Last year they arrived (2 of them - did they think I was going to attack one??) and lo and behold they had their big truck with them. I said - you are only 3 doors away, and their excuse - well, I have to say it was legitimate, was that the ladder was on the truck and they didnt know if I had one. So I must buy some more batteries and then give the firies a ring. Jood

Hi everyone :-) Phew it's just taken me the best part of two hours to catch up. Firstly thanks to everyone for their get well wishes. I'm feeling a lot better now, still got a cough but even that's getting better. Lew you mentioned chicken soup, well the day I came down with the virus was the day before mothers day. On mothers day the kids woke me up with brekky in bed, yes it was chicken soup pmsl. Rebs WELCOME BACK :-))))))))))))))))))))))) Ok I know I'm a bit late but better late than never lol. Thanks for the ecard. Congratulations to your daughter too. Lara sorry to hear you're not feeling too good, take care of yourself and that muscle. Laurie hope you enjoyed your trip and got everything you wanted and hope Ray gets better soon. Lew glad to hear the moves going well. Mary I don't think we've met although I read a couple of your posts before getting the virus. Hope you sell your caravan soon, that couple would have come from somewhere not too far from me. Will have to go and get dressed. It was morning when I started reading this thread, now it's afternoon and I'm still not dressed lol. Hi and welcome to those who have just arrived on this thread.

Uhmmmmmmmmmmm Lara - I have been up since 6.30 pmsl Jood

Morning All, computers are about to be moved and won't be back on online for a few days. Will pop into the office to grace them with my presence and will be in touch with you all then. Glad to see you're feeling better Julie and Lara, you bad girl, take yourself to the NC, all that swearing, pmsl !!! Sorry to hear about the dress Rebs, that would be very frustrating, particularly for those of us that find threading a needle a challenge. Won't be able to make it to Yarrawonga, but will be thinking of you all down there. Well must away. Try not to chat too much in my absence. Love to you all, Lew Lew xxx

Morning all Naughty Lara - as Lew said - take yourself off to the naughty corner! A massage in there would be good for your poor sore muscles anyhow. Lew - glad to hear you have survived the weekend - when do you actually sleep in the new abode? Computers off line for a few days sounds like the onset of withdrawal symptoms. Devly - glad to hear you had a good weekend. We are very naughty - we don't have fire alarms but have been looking into it lately. Am completely confused as to what to do so we are going to get the firies to give us some advice. Don't want to wire them in but I hear so many stories from people who are fed up with them going off randomly. Rebs - how frustrating about the damage to the girl's dress. You'll need that little electronic machine to put things right. Julie - glad to hear you are feeling better. Please send us some of your rain - I'm sick of lugging buckets of water around trying to keep my garden alive. Tony - hope you choked on your rotten tatie cakes - not fair to come on here skiting about fattening food to all of us who are trying to keep our cholesterol and blood sugar levels on an even keel!! Jood - I'm suspicious of you calling on those nice muscley young firies to change your batteries..... no ulterior motives there I trust????? Not cold here yet - just a wee bit fresh early in the morning when we go for a walk. Hope everyone has a nice day......and remember - 'God gave us our relations but thank God we can choose our friends'. Anna

Just a quick good morning - I'm actually timing (stove timer) myself on the computer these days because I'm not getting anything done!! So there you are NC peeps. You're all luring virtual firemen into the NC and Joodles just rings them up and asks them to replace her smoke alarm batteries!!! CUWL Joodles. Cool morning but glorious sun. I love Autumn. have a great day all. Glad you're better Julie Cat - (maybe someone better check the batteries in the smoke detectors in NC.?) Lara, just going to check my email.................... Vonny

Morning everyone, just adding a few lines as have not even attempted to read replies as yet as have not been on line for a week, no time as have been too busy I take it that from reading jusst two of the replies that we have rebs back on board, Welcome Back Rebs had to go to Mudgee on Friday for a funeral and have only been just able to get on line now after finishing washing the car and caravan, have to have it all cleaned ready for my next outing down to Yarrawonga Met a guy at the funeral who heard of you Lew but did not get to find out where you lived, he is married to Ken Sutcliffs sister maybe you know of them?? I did mention that I had spoken to you only on line and he did know of you and even knew that you were building this very large house, he did mention the street you were moving into but I really didnt hear him as there were too many people all talking in the room and he left before I had a chance to ask again never mind am hoping to get up to Mudgee again before the year is out Morning Laurie glad to be home? Hi Joodles all ready for Thursday maybe Laurie might like to come for lunch as well Glad you all better Cat even though I dont know what was wrong with you will find out when I finish reading all replies Well Im off to read all messages see you in about two hours Toodles Shaz

Morning all.. lovely day here today..Got a ring this morning from a chap who wanted to see the van and he has just been and loved it but said it was to heavy for his car to tow..bugg/? He was so nice and I was sorry he didnt want it ,, Still better luck next time... Vonny Do you do a little jig when the timer goes off???can just see you dancing around the house...LOL Anna Go get those fire allarms at once...naughty girl...Dont listen to peeps who say they go off at anything.. they dont and only if you put them to near the kitchen stove as that is not recomended. We have ours just outside the kitchen door and if I burn the steak it sometimes lets me know LOL but I wave a teatowel at it and it stops..We have had a house fire and lucky we were not in the house at the time, we got home just as the fire brigade arrived ,, but only the kitchen was damaged. bad enough but it is so importand ... sorry for the tirade but I realise how important they are..Then you can call the fireies like Joodles and she will be jealous...LOL Julie Hi.. Glad to hear that you are starting to feel better...Stay warm and rest..I think that English couple came by and had another look at the van but I really cant see them able to manage it as they seem so frail..LOL Lara You are priceless.. I bet you get some funny emails back...LOL Are you sure you didnt get on the Gr.. after you left me last night...LOL I think its time you got broadband also...Cassie must be going crazy trying to ring..She will resort to carrier pidgion next ...hope you sent the email to Cassie after all this...poor girl,, will be feeling neglected...LOL Joodles. I know what you are up to... smoke alarms indeed.. Bet you get the batteries changed every 2 weeks just to get the fireies to come round.. Next thing is I will be hearing that you are inviting them to lunch...I bet you never buy a ladder just so that they can bring theirs...LOL by the time they got the truck out the door they would be in front of your house...LOL Sue Hope the puta is OK and back to normal.. Rebs.. Did you do a Russell Crowe with the smoke detector...LOL It was probably trying to tell you it needed a new battery...he.he. Well better go and do some work so see ya all later.. Love Maryxxx

A Russell Crowe???? Mary.....lol pmsl!! It was quite satisfying really. The damn thing only had a new battery in January. This was piercing enough to wake up next door, and the nosy b*gger across the road. I think it was the smoke alarm having a Russell Crowe. lol Anyway, after going off two nights in a row for no apparent reason, then again 15 min after I had crawled back into bed, the blasted battery wouldn't come out so I chucked it against the wall. A chunk flew off in one direction, the battery came loose from it's moorings and went in the opposite direction, and the rest just sat there spinning away on the floor. Anna, nearly wet myself laughing over your comment to Rudes re the tattie cakes. Wasn't very fair of him, was it? Never the less, guess what I had for dindins last night. Cholesterol or no, they were just too irresistable for my taste buds to ignore. Being good tonight though, got a nice pan of stew cooking as I type. Your on the home run now Lew Lew. Soon you'll be planning a big house warming party. Are you coming up to Brissie in June? I keep meaning to ask then get side tracked. Joke........... A very sexually active woman tells her plastic surgeon that she wants her vagina lips reduced in size because they were flapping in the breeze. Out of embarrassment she insisted that the surgery be kept a secret to which the Surgeon agreed. Awakening from the anesthesia after the surgery she found three roses carefully placed beside her on the bed.Outraged, she immediately calls in the doctor. 'I thought I asked you not to tell anyone about my operation!' The surgeon told her he had carried out her wish for confidentiality and that the first rose was from him:'I felt sad because you went through this all by yourself.' 'The second rose is from my nurse. She assisted me in the surgery and empathized because she had the same procedure done some time ago.' 'And what about the third rose?' she asked..... 'Oh, that rose is from a man upstairs in the burn unit. He wanted to thank you for his new ears.' Have a good day folk. love Rebs x

Bumped for interested parties. Attendee list so far for THE CONVENTION OF (DRUNKEN) DELINQUENT WATTLERS Moi (Rebs) Suzy Q Laurie Joodle Trifley (Dianne) Donna + possible Clingon in box under table. Anna + not really here Clingon. We can always put him in box under table with Donnas' spouse. Lara........glad I changed your mind. lol!! Sunny Pam...welcome, but there is still time to save yourself. Let me know if you intend bringing Clingons (husbands etc) so I can add them to the list. lol !!!

Afternoon my fellow Wafflers What is it with the weather in this b****y state (Qld)? The weekend was cool with occasional showers and today the humidity has returned! Track suit away and back into the shorts. And people talk about Melbourne weather!! Anna......don't worry about not winning the lotto. I haven't finalised my wish list yet so I'm not quite ready for a fortune heee heee. Our Rebs....I can understand you feeling sleepy...I blame it on the weather! Don't worry about it, just sleep when you need to. Your body is telling you you need rest.........listen to it! Congrats to your very talented daughter for her dance wins. Maybe one day we will see her on Michael Flatleys 'River Dance'. By the way.........what is 'tit tape' used for (or shouldn't I ask?). Hi Patricia...sorry we wont see you in Brisbane you will miss a great time. Then again.........maybe we will need someone to bail us out. Keep yourself free over that weekend incase we need you ha ha. Tony, did you get pickled onions and a piece of flake with those tattie cakes? I'm getting hungry just reading the posts. I was born in NSW but spent some of my formative years in the wonderful state of Vic. It was there I developed a taste for Noahs. Gotta have a piece of flake........yummmmm. Jude2....hope your hubby's 'self inflicted injury' is healing fast. Not for him but for you. Men can sometimes be 'difficult' when they are not feeling well. Aaahhh Wilson, unlabled photos. Doesn't it make you frustrated when you can't work out who people are? My hubby's family must have kept the profits high for KODAK in the late 1800's early 1900's as we have a stack of photos...........NONE of them labled!!!!! We have even been desperate enough to measure distances between ears, eyes, hair lines and noses to try to work out who the he*l someone is. I make sure every photo we do is labled with names, place, date, and reason for gathering. It's like a small story on the back of photos but will be worth it for us in the future. Hi Devily.....computers.....don'tcha just luv 'em? If you have one which is more up to date than mine (Windows 98) then you should back up your files on a memory stick. I have been told by many people that this is the a good way to ensure you don't loose years of work. When we win lotto I'm upgrading and getting a few of the little buggers! A friend of ours suggested we should get 2 hard drives, one for the 'tree'. But Mark said we were just as likely to have problems with 2 as one. He is one of many advocating memory sticks. Anna..........get yourself off your a**e and get some battery operated smoke alarms. And as Mary said....don't put them too close to the kitchen cooking area. The idiot who put the wired in one in this house put one of the sensors over the oven. Needless to say it goes off even if we burn the toast! If you pick a memorable day in the year to change the batteries you shouldn't have too many problems. Better a squeeking alarm than being dead from smoke inhalation! Thats my rant for the day:o) Lew Lew.....glad the move is going well. It must be very exciting. To all those cyber friends who have been under the weather.....healing thoughts are on there way to you all. To those I haven't mentioned.....big hugs to you. Talking about photos has given me the urge to do some work on the family album. See you all later. ~~~~~~~~~~~~waves from the royal barge. love Trifley Queen of the Nile.

Back again. I think this site is very odd at times. The message to Devily should start.'computers.don'tcha just luv em?' But I can't get that to appear on my last post. Weird! Trifley
