General Chat

Afternoon all, fogot i dais (hee hee) I might just leave that so you all can see why it takes me so long to type!!!! Forgot I said that I would help with the School breakfast program this morning so no sleep in!!!! Checked on g-d and she is fine :) Then went grocery shopping so just had lunch while reading to catch-up. Still interested in the story idea but might wait till the meet and talk it over then. Yvette, my daughter did a science degree at the Gong and loved biology 1 so much she took biology 2 just so she could 'play' with the cadavers!!! She is actually hoping to get into forensics once the kids are at school. Going to check on general, ~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Laurie didn't I do a good job with out deleting us again mate LOL , also thanks for your help too I didnt know that on my putor I could use webmail,I thought it was for only when not on your own putor DUH . Hello Lew did you eventually get to sleep with the chain saw I would have swapped places last night as I had both Billy and Mike going full pelt and also I stayed up till 2:30am to try and download these blasted emails and then the fifteen tents opposite got up at 5am had a noisy breakfast about 60 girls and blokes and then chucked all the stuff in the bus tent pegs etc and left at 6am oh peace and quiet till 7am when the three little darlings who arrived next door yesterday woke up and fought and argued about who was sitting where outside on there setting to have breakie omg help they have gone to beach today, thankyou there is a God . Trifley how did you sleep darlin hope you had a nice zzzz as sometimes the hospitals can be noisy too can't they and there is nothing like your own bed. Honey Rum glad to hear your birthday was a happy one sorry wasn't able to send a card this time but sounds like you got heaps anyway and had a good one, you reminded me I havn't got a seniors card yet I went to see about it last year when I turned sixty and was told have to get them in your own state so completly forgot about it, have to remember to do when I get home , might as well as our local hairdresser wouldn't give me pensioners discount as it was only for age pensions she said guess who doesn't go there any more . Thanks to all who welcomed me back and you'll never know how much I missed you all Mike could give you an idea although Iwas probabley as much a pain in the proverbial as he was when it was for golf have to go and cut friends hair now so talk when I get back love to all Lara

Afternoon all Jood dont worry, you are right with the lotto it is your turn next week for 'Wattlelotto' and mine is the week after. When I mentioned about going down the shop and getting lotto and if the wattlers ticket didnt win, then hopefully ours will, I was talking about buying David and my own tickets for this weekend, and Anna has already bought the 'Wattlelotto' tickets for this weekends big one. But dont worry I sometimes dont explain myself right. Shazz, did you put you foot in it ????? lol Its ok I have had a red and white hat for years as I used to follow a team over here and they was those colours, still have the hat lol. Quite often people will ask me why I have a red and white had and I dont go for Sydney, as if they are the only ones with that colour. I thought there was only one code of football !!!!! he he. Lara it is good to see you back on the thread and yes our name does look better now. Trifley hope you had a good nights sleep and getting looked after as you should. Ok better go and do a bit more around here, will pop back in after. Cheers Sue

Good afternoon Wattlers Been walking - our group drove out to our catchment dam for today's walk. The water levels are sure low. Lovely to have you back Lara. Hope your neighbours improve! Nothing worse than waking up early when you don't have to. Poor Lew and Laurie - sorry the chainsaws were so active last night. Chris doesn't snore at all but he tells me that I do. I catch myself sometimes and I roll over on my side but I don't know how long I've been at it before I've woken myself up with the noise! Sounds like a good deal with your car Lew. Bet you can't wait. The small car will be so easy to handle after the bigger ones. Hello Trifley - up and about yet are we??? Hope the cold has improved. At least you should get a sleep in - not like the hospital where they wake you at an ungodly hour to ask you if you slept well! Eisteddfod again tonight. Poor darling daughter has a cold which is going to be a wretched nuisance. Waves to all - must be plenty of sore throats about today after all the singing last night! Cheers Anna

Voony - I thought you were talking a foreign language - hehe Thanks for the cat video - they sure can be entertaining - little 3C seems to like water and nothing better than getting up on bathroom vanity when we clean our teeth, then plays with the water. To all those sleeping with chainsaws you have my sympathy - I've had 3 peaceful weeks - that will end on Monday when Dave gets back. Our Ginger is also a snorer - really funny coming from a cat. New shoes walked my feet to the V-E-T, nose ran along ahead - 2-1/2 worm tablets and an appointment for 3C's little op next week and I really haven't done much HW since - better get going Anna - all the best to Katherine - hope her cold doesn't upset her performance. Lara - lovely to see you on here for a good ol' chat - maybe all the snoring will get rid of the neighbours - maybe you could set up some speakers by their window - lol Trifley - hope you're having a real good rest - better when it's in your own bed isn't it? Really must move, catch up later Gwenda

Hi Lara, Welcome back, PSML, know what you mean about snoring in caravan parks, thats why I always make sure the door and windows are not open of a night time, otherwise I would frighten the most meanest of all humans with the noise I make Tassie, get your head out of the sand matey, only one kind of football code my eye hee hee Hi trifley you on board today Shaz

Afternoon All, Sorry I couldn't make the party last night, was too late after we had finished dinner and cleaned up etc. My cat Sophie is under the weather today. I think she may have done something to her leg. I have checked her all over for ticks, she is eating, but she just walks a couple of steps then sits down. Doesn't like it when I touch her back leg. I will keep her quiet and if she hasn't improved a visit to the vet tomorrow. How are you feeling today Trifley? Much better I hope. I see the dog is glad you are home. Be better when you get the tubes out. We had a nice start to the day. nevilles youngest daughter rang from the UK. She hasn't had a phone on at home for ages, so we had a long chat. Ofcourse we had to ring her back. She is getting the puta on next week so more chats to come. She is actually on sick leave, she has a trapped nerve in her neck brought on by her job, so she is on full pay. She has to take notes in meetings that go on for 8 hours without a break, no wonder she has trapped nerves. Do you have any news on your friend today Laurie? I had to laugh to myself this morning about a Sunrise subject. They were discussing that the modern technology had stopped people from talking to each other. Must say I haven't talked as much for ages. We wouldn't have met without it. Hope everything works out for you with the house Devily. Will the girls have further to go to school? or will they need to change schools. It has been a bit of a miserable day today but no rain. I has been much warmer though and I have got all the windows and doors open, which I love. Well I will go for now. Love to one and all SuzyQ

Hi everyone,, quite nice this afternoon and not very cold.. no rain.. I like the new thread name ,, good one Lara.. Ancestry are doing a bit of work on their site so havent been able to get on. Hope they improve it a lot.. They have done little things and it is a big help..Wish they would get the rest of the Scottish census on line.. that would be fantastic..When I am settled I will have to fork out and do some searching on Scotlandspeople as that is the only way to go forward with my fathers line.. All this snoring and caravans brings back memories when we used to go to Dunolly and it was like a chorus at night.No wander I loved the trains that used to come through about 2 in the morning..LOLThe park down there dosent encourage children as it has a lake and is dagerous for young kiddies.who might fall in..Insurance and all that..so the people who run it dont put in anything that caters for children , that way they go elswhere..and he dosent have to worry..Hope to get back there in Nov. for a couple of weeks holiday.and to catch up with old friends.. Must go and get dinner back later.. Love Maryxxx

Hello everyone, had a bit of a day, youngest gson he's eight, has got himself in big trouble at school, so bad he's been suspended for five days, we have had a meeting with the headmaster and the school's behavioral (sp) councellor. This is the second time this year he's been suspended. Not good, last time he spent the time with his father, big mistake, bad influence, this time he gets to stay with the grannie from hell. no television and you will do school work, work well and you'll be rewarded. He thought he was going to get another holiday like last time, mistake, big mistake. We have got to get this child sorted out before he gets much older. Thanks for listening, I'm so upset by it all, eh!, enough of that, how are you Trifley haven't seen a posting from you today, everything okay? My love to everybody, will be more focused tomorrow. Luv Jillx

Late Afternoon All Wattlers, Have been out all day watching 10year old Granddaughter in her Zone sports carnival, it's nice to watch but very tiring. Welcome back Lara and loved the new banner it's great. Triffley how are you feeling today after your martoonies nice and relaxed???? Now I am going to be very boring, we had our bill in today for broadband and once again we were way over our limit ( can't really understand it, so what I am going to do is ask everyone to not send me any emails at all for a while( i want to do a sort of survey) we can't get out of it till Jan so have to do something. But of course if there is something really important then please send. Hope you all understand. Cheers Sandra in the gong

me again, was going to play around on Ancestry to take my mind off things and they have the cheek to be upgrading or something, I might just have to go and do the ironing, lol Jillx

Aaahh Jilly Go and have a martoonie instead..Ironing can wait... Hugs for you and hope Granny sorts things out..Children can be a delight but also a big worry..at times..Let us know how he gets on.. Lots of love Mary xxxx

Thanks Mary, it's funny, I took one look at the ironing and thought sod it I'll have a drink, so I did! I might even have another,lol luv Jillx ps bl--dy kids!

Morning Jood, Will be staying at in-laws place while they are here in the U.k. Visas came this morning.YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH. R.B.

Hi RB, have you thought about places to see and do while you are down under, if you get to Q'land you have a bed here, no worry's, honest, the house is big enough and there's only oh and I, think about it anyway, luv Jillx

Have to say Jill, been there, done that - many years ago - dont ever want teenagers any more ( I know your g-s is only 8). Good on you for the right approach - a drink is better than ironing any day. Sandra, I'd be ringing Big Pond up and having a chat to them. ... I've heard similar stories. .. Why don't you do what someone (was it Lew or Tony?) suggested to Lara, open your mail in WebMail on Bigpond, and read them there, that way they don't download onto your computer. .. And when you are ready to change to another server, consider Internode - as they are great. Not long to go now Sydney-ites and Canberra-ites till our meeting. .. Got the hair dyed, the fingernails painted, and the body massages ?? (tee hee) - how many of us can afford that? .. I'll just come as I am. Lew - another Singapore Buzz email has arrived - are you interested? Hi RB - anything you want to know - ask, and if I can, I'll answer, if I can't - I'll find out. Jood

YooooohooooooWattlers... Where the heck are you all? I'll check back later after the eisteddfod :>) Anna

Jilly Love that expression SOD IT good for you girl...If they need something out of the ironing they can iron it... Hope you are feeling better and seeing things in a different light.. Just loggged on to Ancestry and it is a little differend but half the world must be logging on also and it is so slow so will give it away till tomorrow.. Hope all our unwanted furniture is taken away tomorrow, and we will only be left with what we want to take with us.. Yyyaaahh it is getting close and it cant come fast enough..2 weeks yesterday the removalist are booked and it is OUT cant wait.. Love Maryxxx

hi Wattle people.i've had a lovely day, got to do the good stuff this arvo. in anatomy you are 'supposed to follow strict ethical guidelines' but its great all the same and soo interesting. Yvonne, a friend of mine ended up as a forensic biologist and loves her job too bits. i popped in at lunch time to have a read (early lunch) and you guys were still contemplating the day. Don't know how you ever deal with neighbours at camp grounds and caravan parks. Its either seek revenge or get over it. Jill, my middle son is a lovely boy, however a real free spirit. has explored nearly every avenue, challenged the most patient teacher's marbles and loves being a cement renderer (left school the day he turned 15) he's 20 in August hopefully will get in the army by then. he can't wait! I never thought I would be overjoyed with an offspring joining the armed forces - but his choice. Suzi - have I been sending mail to the right address, or has somebody else been getting it? Can't remember the funnies off hand but I love getting them. I think I need some chocolate, maybe you need a bit too Trifley. Don't know about you but it always makes me feel better if i've got a cold. ((((hugs))))) Bit more - can't stand watching footy on tele. don't know if its coz i have a short attention span and i potter off or that its actually on tv. Will pop back later. love to everybody from Yvette xx

Sheez Anna - and I was here :( <she must be standing on her tippy toes looking over my head :( > Jood
