Ghost of winter past I'm a Bedtime Bear! lol Apparently I'm brave, loyal and able to calm others' fears and worries. I have an easy going, yet confident personality! |

Still nothing .... I'll check out which Care Bear I am ... is there a desperate bear?!!! I think at the moment, I'd even be happy with a 'get lost' reply! At least I'd know then that I had found them, it would take away the if/what/but questions ... be hard to deal with but it would close that area of research.x |

good wishes You just reminded me that I have to look out for our postie. He is redelivering a parcel that he tried to deliver on Saturday. We were all in and the dog usually goes mental when somebody knocks on the door. He must have had the quietest knock ever.LOL One of my newly found aunties mailed me a copy of the reply that they got in 1965 when they were trying to trace us. My mums aunt basically told them to get lost but not in so many words. We have moved on and please dont try to contact us again. Good job I went searching for them 3 years ago. It was nice to see the evidence that they really did try looking for us. Good luck with your search. |

Thanks Suz and Lunar. All I can see in my mind at the moment are all the favourite parts of the Care Bear movies that we had to watch again and again .... with my son. Mind you that was about 12 years ago, lost count of the number of times I had to fall in the water so he could 'rescue me'! Lets hope your Care Bear stare works and the postie delivers today! xxxx |

No! Just a Christmas email from John Lewis ... bah humbug!! Oh Sal, that did make me laugh!! Yes Handy wot you me call its? Seriously, if they have the name Handyside and an inkling of the name Baird too then JACKPOT! Especially a gardener whose photo was in Parramatta Advertiser in 2002 called Norman Baird Handyside (pictured with Gosford Councillor, Debra Wales). Your a * |

Kent, England! I'm so near but so far from finding them! All the usuals ... what if they didn't know anything about us, what if they did but don't want to know etc etc The couple (deceased) were formerly of Merrylands, Toukley and Parramatta. The eight I've written to are throughout NSW! Come on VIOLET! |
