Morning Mandy xxx

Morning Jen,

Horror is the right word ... need to go back, leave a message yet couldn't at the time, just didn't have the right words. Barb put it so eloquently, I couldn't have said better than that. Am thinking of Daphne and her family, they are there too. xxx

Hi Shimms and Barbara

Shimms thanks for doing that for me on Micks thread I appreciate it.
I was watching a 1 hour show on the fires.
I haven't seen Daphne at all today which is most unusual. She usually comes on during the daytime and says hello.
It is about 10.00pm where she is now and she is usually online with us at this time. Praying all is OK with her son.

Oh Barb, thank you xxx

Oh Jackie hun, you okay ... must be shocking watching it, being there unable to help. Know how we feel, so feeling for everyone, truly I am.

I may be wrong yet wasn't Daphne having poota problems, no signal with her son ... am praying everything is okay for her son, family everyone too. xxx

Yes the death toll is rising all the time Shimms could be up to 100 they say

HI again Shimms
I don't think Daphne would have Computer problems for long here Hubby fixes them thats his job. I don't remember her saying she was having problems. Just wondering if her electricity is out. She isnt in the fire area but they may be turning the power off to help out in other area's. Only a thought.

HI Daphne

Oh I am so relieved all is well. I have been thinking about you all day.
Thank you for letting us know that your son is safe and well.

Just come across the TV screen 84 dead and that Brian Naylor (Famous Melbourne News reader) and his wife have died in the fires. So sad I aways liked him when he did the Brian and the Juniors shows many Years ago.

I feel better now I know all is well with you. Just hope Mick in the Bush is safe too

Hi all
Sorry if I'm interrupting 'the game' !
Daphne, so glad your family are safe, what a terrible tragedy with such a huge loss of lives, and devastation of homes.
The 'news update ' has just been on our local radio news.
OMD we grizzle about a bit of snow !
....Beggars belief that some of it was arson !
Doing lunch, see you later...............Sandie xx

Daphne Report 8 Feb 2009 12:50

Jackie,Shimms,Sandie, Barbara and everyone Thanks for your kind thoughts,son and his girlfriend were touched that strangers so far away were concerned for them and send their thanks. They came out unscathed but fires are still burning around them,fortunately the temperature has dropped to only 12 degrees which has helped to contain the fire.Elder son's family in the outer suburbs had fires come within 2 km but were never in danger although the children were very scared by TV coverage.There is so much coverage you can't prevent them turning on the TV.
There are plenty of donations coming in for those who need help,everyone is rallying to the cause.
Unbelievably radio just reported people seen throwing cigarette butts out of car windows.
Has anyone heard from Mick,quickly scanned the boards but didn't see anything.
Back to the game !

Hi Daphne

WE are all so relieved your sons are safe and well give them my regards

I saw Brian Naylor and his wife have lost their lives in the fire too.
So sad and iresponsible people still don't take care do they.
No news from Mick in the Bush so far I have been looking from time to time most of the day

Anyway I have scrolled back and it's Sandie's turn to put one up. Do you want to do one in the meantime I'm sure she won't mind
