Morning Wattlers, Tony, thanks for the new list, this time i have c&p to wattlelotto folder. I still havn't seen the last one i printed off, it is here amongst the family history stuff.......somewhere lol. Everyone sounds busy this morning, me i am just hanging around the house doing whatever takes my fancy...looking around....nothing takes my fancy he he. Thought i would go and stock up the cupboards again, got ready to face the crowds and car won't start, has never happened before. OH will get it going again when he comes home for lunch... I hope. I am going to Malburn on thursday/friday for some retail therapy, and to cuddle grandson, so can you organise some warmer weather down that way guys? OK, i suppose i could do a spot of the dreaded word while i am stuck here. Why is it that when you plan to go out and for whatever reason don't, that you can't settle to something else, like H*******k lol. Catch you later Wilson

hello, I'm hoooooooommmm :) Got into Canberra at midnight last night so brain is still very fuzzy. Decided to punch it through from Sydney last night as just couldn't stand the thought of another hotel!!! So had a cup of coffee (I don't usually drink tea or coffee), prayer for safety and no animals on the road and drove right on home. Have caught up on the last page only, as can't focus more than that. Trifley, adding my prayers for you, Laurie - glad you are ok and a big wave~~~~~~~~~ to all. Gwenda, thanks for the message - will respond coherently later on :) Thanks for all those who have been doing the word threads. I'll check them out plus my other thread in a min. One thing I found that hasn't happened to me before is that last night, if I stood still, I was actually swaying - like when you have been on a ship too long but this was from the plane. Something to do with balance obviously. Nice to be home *big grin* ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

~~~~~~~~~~~~ welcome home to Tony and Barb, will catch up with your stuff later. and ~~~~~~~~~ to Laurie for your trip :)

Morning All and welcome back Vonny. Sounds like you had a great time, except for the airport delay! Bet you felt the cold this morning. Trifley, make sure you take your boys with you today, then the pathologist might get your results done quick smart when he sees what he's dealing with, particularly Nefer, as he is an inch bigger than his brothers, lol. Wilson, things must be tough if you're resorting to housework! This is not good and I highly recommend some retail therapy. Laurie, make sure that Vicki Reedy gets in touch. That book I told you about 'From Blarney to Blue Gums' is all about the Reedy family coming to Australia from Ireland in 1841. There might be a connection. Chat soon Lew Lew xxx

Welcome home Vonny ~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think we've done very very well in your word games, kept up the tradition etc etc. ~~~~~~ to Wilson. I NEVER get motivated to do h*******k Well, back to the shower I was going to have hours ago - omg its 11.00am! Morning Lew Jood

Hi everyone, just when I thought I was safe, what happens, grandson wasn't at all well through the night so he's staying home with me today, poor little might, he's asleep at the moment and looks so angelic, looks can be deceptive, he's a right little tomboy when well. Trifley, thinking of you, won't send a big hug just in case you're tender so a gentle squeeze is on it's way. better go I think he's waking, be back later, luv Jillx

Afternoon Wattlers Vonny welcome home, look forward to a run down on your trip when you are refreshed. Laurie safe travels, catch you when you return or in internet cafe. Mary hows the packing going. Have you heard yet if you can move into the unit any sooner? Tony got the new list for lotto, already copied and pasted onto bottom of old list. Trifley sending hugs your way hoping that everything will be ok. Well I dont know if I feel much better today, doped up on painkillers, but I went to the Docs earlier and got a course of antibiotics and a repeat to start with so hopefully by tomorrow I will feel a bit better in myself. Hello to everyone else I havent mentioned, hope you have a great day. 32 Sleeps, Cheers Sue

Arvo Wattlers thank you for not being too talkative over the weekend. Trifley gentle ((((((hugs)))))) just keep thinking positive thoughts we are all with you. Vonny welcome home - another traveller home safely. Sue glad you are feeling a little better and hope the antibiotics will soon do their work for you. Laurie safe journey. Gwenda your w.mach put the mozz on mine! have a front loader whose seal on the door gave up the ghost - laundry, powder room got a good wash lol luckily caught the water before it went down the ducted heating vent. However had to wait 2 days for Ken to fit the new seal - wretched thing. Back in business now - blast it - thought I might have got a new w.mach after 13 years . tony thank you for the new list of wattlelotto. Loved the pics on the photopage! Eldest son finally sent us an email (left for UK via Mauritius last Tues.) heard from him Wednesday and then nothing. But had an email this morning ,safe and well in a backbackers on the Bayswater rd, London sharing with 5 v. dodgy spaniards (his words not mine!) he is brushing up on his spanish though. Because of appalling traffic nearly missed his flight in Mauritius was not a happy vegemite. Found out Optus hadn't put him on intern. roaming so I couldn't get him on mobile either - just being a normal mum - panic first - child overseas (actually 32 yr old) and no contact - well what would you do? lol. Anyway must go and do the dreaded h*******k as I spent 2 1/2 hours trying to find an hotel for the 12 th of August - what is going on in Sydney that weekend ? Started at 5* worked my down to 2* and then finally found one. hooray - don't really want to sleep on a park bench for the night lol. didn't fancy the backpackers either . ~~~~~~ hi to everyone else catch up tomorrow. Jarra (jude 3)

Mary you snuck in while I was typing. Take it easy you will wear yourself out. Gwenda - Mary reminded me have a lovely break in Sydney town. now I do have to go. OMG its 3 o'clock ! I'll never get done. jude

Afternoon Wattlers. Things appear to be a bit quiet on the thread today. I've been working on my tree today and have had great success with the Negus/Harper/Worland branches, but have had great failure with the Reedy's from Ireland. Aaarrrrggghhhhh. They're going to do my head in. Terry's is a bit brighter today, although he has a terrible hacking cough. Just popped in to give myself a break. Seeya Lew Lew xxx

Hi, Hope everyone is okay. Just to let you all know I have got a bright and sparkly new tarara for Thursday. Not as good as the Queens but it will suit a princess fine. Be back tomorra SuzyQ btw Tony, i didn't get a new list

You're right, Tony, we should ask the airlines for a special wattlers rate! Lew Lew xxx

Hi everyone, Laurie have a lovely and safe trip Vonny welcome home Gwenda have fun in Sydney Trifley thinking of you, here's another gentle squeeze Mary I've pmed you some interesting findings about your Bartletts I had to take my whippet to the vets this afternoon she had a bit of a run in with the lab/bully, she can be a bit of a bully too, Quinn's okay just got a little cut on her head but I learnt something today, never ever use dettol on a dog as it burns their skin even if you dilute it. I thought I was doing the right thing by bathing the wound but it would have been better if I had used salty water. luv Jillx

Hi All.....How ya going......Lew is that like country town..???
