Really tired tonite. Will catch up tomurra Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite Pam

Hi Wafflers I had a great sleep last night....no squeeky hospital bed. Took it very easy today, a couple of short walks with Graeme down the side lane just to get some fresh air and sunshine. Our little dog, Jessie, thought it was wonderful. I had a good snooze this afternoon and have been fielding phone calls all evening from rels......aww, they love me...lol Lovely yellow songs last night......it is such a happy colour to sing about. Off to see the GP in the morning. He just wants to give me the once over and check the drain. I'm heading off to the land of nod now.....sleep well everyone. I'll catch up with you all tomorrow. love Trifley X

Nite Trifley - sorry I missed you - you snuck in on me! Sleep well, catch up tomorrow. Nite all Jood

Goodnight everyone Sorry Jood - didn't see you before - you must have been hiding! Glad to hear you had a good day Trifley. Good luck at the Doctors tomorrow. Jill - whilst you've got kids you've got worries. Is it you who is the grandmother from hell - or his other grandma? Hope you can sort him out. As you say, if you can't sort him out now, it's harder as they get older. Katherine's orchestra gained second place in the eisteddfod tonight - their tuba player was back on deck! So they are all very pleased with themselves. Sleep tight all :>) Anna Lew - did you see the thread about Essex roots?? I felt sure you'd have something to say about that!!!!!

goodnight everyone. just woke up and thought i'de better turn off the 'puter love Yvette xx

Good evening Wafflers . . . Not a lot to report, everything still the same at the hospital. They enjoyed their lunch so much I am going to do the same thing again tomorrow - only with a big feed of prawns tomorrow. I called at the fish markets today, and for dinner tonight Ray and I had bbq baby oci and stuffed calamari - yummy! There is another conference with the doctors at 2pm tomorrow - so anyones guess as to what the next step will be. Thanks for the call Lew, dont want to blow your cover - but your one lovely lady. I know you need to catch up with your family, but it is a pity that your trip to Victoria is same weekend as our meet . . . Ah well next time. The Mudgee meet will be upon us before you know (well upon you . . . teehee) Sounds like your holding court there Trifley, keep up the nanna naps so the bod can repair. Hope the cough hasn't got hold of you - there are times when laughing and coughing are our worst enemies aren't there. Great to have you back on board Lara - missed you girl! Oh Anna, that's great - well done to Catherine and her orchestra friends, they have every reason to be right chuffed with themselves. Tomorrow after the spare furniture has gone you will really start to feel like it is all happening Mary, next move for me will hopefully be back home. But I'm not holding my breathe !!! Blue face and popping eyes does nothing for me . . . Had a bit of a look around Ancestry tonight - they have changed a few things around, looks good . . . having spouse or parents names on the index is a good idea. Will have a bigger play tomorrow if I get the chance (might take puter out with me). well that's it for me for tonight - sleep tight all cheers luv Laurie

Morning all, Can't stop for long, tho I will pop back. Just saw this, and felt it appropriate to post 'Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly.' I'd been looking back through this past year, on all the mishaps and misfortunes the Wattlers have had, its been quite a year. .. Let's hope 2007 will be a kinder one for us all. Have a great day. Love Jood

Good Morning my fellow Wattlers. Lovely sunny day in Mudgee. We're off to a NAB do today. They're 140 years old. Then to a charity event at Landmark for Sydney Children's Hospital. Tonight the partners are finally taking us out to dinner. Gee, I wonder if they miss us, lol. Laurie, another trying day for Den, family and friends. I just hope the right decisions are made. You keep resting Trifles. It's the best thing you can do. Anna, send Katherine my congratulations. Well done! I'll chat with you all this afternoon, but for now I'd better get going. Seeya Lew Lew xxx

Morning all, in and out, love ya from Yvette x

Morning all, Have a bit of a wog this morning - sore throat and stuffy head - so am taking it easy. Won't go to 'work'. especially as we are meant to be hosting a dinner tonight for the whole fam and Kendra's parents, as they return to Colorado on Sunday. ~~~~~~~ and a ((((Hug)))) for Trifley, so glad you are recovering. Thoughts are with you Laurie, and a ((((Hug)))) for you also. Fine and sunny today, anyone would think Spring had arrived. One of my daffy's is almost flowering!! Congrats to Katherine and her team for their effort in the eisteddfod Anna. ~~~~~~~~to everyone, Vonny

good morning Wafflers Its lovely weather today, rain through the night and still raining, proper rain as well. Hope you are getting it Anna. I am just killing time before I take the cat and dog to the VET. Had a small win on powerball last night $41.80 and thought it would be nice to give it to the VET LOL Sandra, I know how you feel with Telstra Broadband. I actually get 500mb instead of 200Mb because we are classed as Teltsra Country, and I can mange to use it all very quickly. When I had dial up I never used 200MB in a month even when I spent all day on Ancestry etc. Sometime I feel like going back. Anyway, I rang Telstra and had a long chat with them. Now I always open my mail in webmail and delete all the ones I don't want to read, that way it doesn't count. When it gets to the end of the month I delete all the big ones. I also clean up my puta every month to make sure I haven't got any nasty bugs and things that have sneaked in. I have got a 24month contract which is only 3 months in. Good to hear from you Trifley, hope your visit to the doc is a good one. Laurie, I hope things are resolved for your friends today. it must be very hard dragging out all this time. You should know about Lew because you are one special lady your self. Yvette, I got your mail yesterday and I will be doing the excersices later today. Will get back to you at the weekend. Anna, please pass on my congratulations to Katherine and her fellow band members You must be very proud. Jill, sorry to hear about your grandson. I don't know what it is about kids today. I think they need to learn to respect themselves and then we may get some where. Funny though, I can remember back in the olden days when I was about 10, a boy in school hit his teacher and knocked him out. Turned out the teacher had put his hand up the boys pant leg. Short pants in those days. One time when the boy did the right thing. I will leave you with a laugh for today ----- An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, 'Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.' The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked what happened and the man explained: 'Well, doc, it's like this - first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. We even called up Arleen, the lady next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing. The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your neighbor?' The old man replied, 'Yep. None of us could get the jar open'. Luv SuzyQ

SuzyQ....hee hee hee...refined little laughs. Can't laugh big yet. 'It's raining, it's pouring The old man is snoring He went to bed and bumped his head and couldn't get up in the morning' it is pppppping down here and has been since late last night. As SuzyQ said....wonderful weather. Saw GP this morning. He took the drain out....yiiipppeee! Another step on the road to recovery. Rebs, got the bewdiful card....you are a clever little vegemite. Lara....you are multi-talented too! Got your card. Awww, made me feel good. Gonna have a nanny nap. Love to you all Trifley X

Trifly so glad you are on the mend ;;; glad you got the drain out ;;that must be more comfy for you ;; take care have nice nap and please look after yourself;;; Babs x x x

Hi Queenie Great news re drain, feeling a little more at ease now I hope with it out, sad in one its raining up there but good in another, 1 your stuck inside, but 2 you certainly do need it, how them boys treating you, with tender loving care I hope and keeping you in line, did you receive my card that I sent to the hospital, knowing me it arrived after you left, Im not as artistic as all those other nutty wattlers Im afraid so I cheated and bought one, anyway glad that your back on the path to clear health Cheers Shazz

Hi Babs....feeling a lot more comfy now, thanks for your thoughts and support. Hi Shaz...got your card......nice printing...lol. Don't worry, I'm not arty-crafty either. You thought of me, that's the wonderful thing. The rain has reduced to a sprinkle now but I can still hear my plants singing for joy. My niece just rang and she had been talking to someone who had been up at Hinze dam. Evidently some of this wonderful water is going in the catchment area. Graeme has gone to work this arvo. I think he needed it as every time I looked around he was standing behind me telling me to rest. I'm in need of a cool drink now so I'll check in later. love Trifley X

Afternoon Wattlers. Well we've had our morning in town and now we're home for an afternoon's rest. Glad to hear you're feeling better Trifles. Any barge parties planned for the weekend? As the office is finally taking us out for dinner tonight, we're going to order up big! I'm selecting by price, heeee. We're going to a great restaurant called 'Blue Wren' and Terry has just ordered the courtesy bus to pick us up and drop us off, so looks like we'll be drinking up big as well. What's everyone else up to this weekend? Lew Lew

Afternoon :) feeling better. Actually I felt better as soon as I rang 'work' and said I wasn't going in :) Lew, we have the dinner tonight - Chinese Resturant and then back to our place for dessert and a Ball tomorrow evening - fund raising for an education project in East Timor. So that is a full weekend for us. Hope our kids don't follow your example tonight as we're paying!!! Actually, I felt awful the other night as when we went for dessert after the kid's graduation, I was hungry and ordered up big (thinking it was pay for our own) and then Kendra's parents insisted on paying!! :0 I'm doing fancy serviettes for the table so must away and continue. ~~~~~~ Vonny

Hi all you lovely Wattlers, Good news Trifley about the drain, I had this silly vision of everytime you had a martoonie it would just drain out, what a waste. lol. Thanks for the support re 'orrible g.son. the counsellor recomended that I bore him, personally I like to thump him, what he meant was to make it as boring for him as possible so school becomes a nice place to be. The little poo was just walking out of the classroom and totally ignoring anything that was said to him, this has been going on for over a week then he really did it by hitting another pupil, hence the suspension for five days so now he gets to stay at camp 'boring' with grannie from hell, me. ha ha ha. Only drawback is I'm going to be bored too,B--ger! Laurie my thoughts are with you and your friends Have to go in a minute and pick up Lorraine from work, hope it's a better run than the one this morning where we had a kangaroo playing chicken with us then it decided just to hop a long in front before darting back into the bush. Poor Lorraine, but she handled it well, didn't panic just slowed right down and it was bucketing with rain, I was so proud of her. luv Jillx

hello all ,its a lovely hot sunny day here and the rug rats next door left this morning and we got a heap of german tourists opposite us now all teenagers we'll see what happens tonight with them they arrived in the dark last night so not much noise as they all struggled to put up their tents , its usually a quiet place except for the back packers over the road who have a band nearly every night , butits when the peeps are leaving you hear a few screams and yells but other wise ok . Laurie thinking of you and Dennys family today and sending positive thoughts and prayers to all involved hugs all round (((((all))))) Lew wow you are so busy now you are retired girl, have to ask have you heard from Terrys ex's daughter at all re her mum getting in touch or anything ? Trifley just keep resting and getting your strength up to take on the rest of whatever it takes to get well again, love and hugs for you and yours too Mary how exciting for you to be starting with all new furniture as well wish I could do that it funny how something you loved ten years ago looks the pits now eh I know it hasn't changed so it got to be your ideas of what is nice changes doesn't it ? Laurie the server sent me an email and told me what to do too exactley what you said to do and what Sandra does as well and got rid of all the repeats thank goodness have to go, playing in the Bocci championships today against our friends in the doubles , let you know later today how we went bye for now love Lara

Afternoon everyone Yes SuzyQ - it's raining here. Not much - just drizzle so I hope we get something worthwhile before it all disappears again. Hope your visit to the vet goes OK. Those little creatures keep us on our toes don't they! Good luck! Loved your joke about the sperm count!!!!! Lew - better order up big and drink some ridiculously expensive ccoktails. I love the names of some of them but am never brave enough to try! Have a great night and hope the partners are all missing you like crazy. Vonny - glad you are feeling better and that your dessert tonight turns out beautifully. The Bali evening sounds like fun - enjoy. Trifley - so glad you are feeling better and that the drain is out. You must be feeling much more comfortable. Thinking of you Laurie - hope there is some resolution to the situation today. (((((hugs)))))) Katherine's cold is worse and she's home from school today. She has all her solo appearances in the eisteddfod next week so I just hope she gets over it quickly. Liked your 'Friends are angels' quote Jood. How true. Jill - how are things going with you - hope grandson is toeing the line. My 'grandson' is staying with us tonight while son and partner go out to dinner and he always keeps us on our toes! He is my son's partner's little boy. He is as bright as a button but has ADHD so is VERY BUSY all the time! Best wishes to everyone else. Catch you later Anna
