Well Good Afternoon Wattlers. So much for the sunny day! The temperature has dropped, the wind has picked up and it's about to start raining. No problems, Vonny. Glad you managed to find Lara on her special day. Flakey, as you casting aspersions on my medical abilities. I certainly hope not! Otherwise I might be sending you a special little pill, lol. ~~~waves to everybody~~~ Lew Lew xxx

Afternoon Wattlers, I'm a bit late but hope you enjoy your 59 th birthday today Lara. Don't do anything we wouldn't. Laurie, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Denny's family. Sophie is a little better today, she has actually walked a few steps this morning, so we know there is no paralysis, which we were starting to worry about. It was a very cold morning this morning and it's not much better now. August usually is a cold month when we get the westerly's. Glad your Nan enjoyed her birthday Devily. I only ever knew one grand parent, but she was wonderful. She lived next door for most of my life so spent lots of time with her. I have got a birthday for tomorrow with a ? by it. Can anyone confirm please. Its one of the Judy's. Can't stay long, still have some ironing to finish. Catch up with you all a bit later Luv SuzyQ

Hello Wattlers Lara (without whom we wouldn't have a thread) happy birthday!! Don't worry about the years.....the more years, the more fun you've had...lol. Have a great day. Shaz...hope your tummy feels better soon. The Dr will be able to help you. I go to see my surgeon to get the staples out next week. Welcome Lorraine from WA. I am the sensible, sane Watler and can always be counted on to behave in a proper manner.....don't you believe anything to the contrary. Lyn...I love IKEA. The instructions are always easy to follow (if you are a woman). Have fun with your new table. Yvette...ooowww..what sort of things are you doing with cadavers today? Have you seen that show on SBS...Anatomy for beginers? I believe it's fantastic. Coffee time! I'll be back. love to all the wonderful wafflers. Trifley X

Hello to Lara and everyone else from Lorraine Cable in Perth. Well Lara, a lot has happened in the past 12 months, I became a grandmother for the first time, Ayden is 10 months old, my daughter got married last September and is expecting a baby in December. We sold our house and built another, been in it 3 months, settled down quite nicely, but lots of painting to do in the near future. My health has not been too good on and off this year backwards and forwards to the Dr's but I suppose we will get there in the end. Will look in again shortly, Lorraine

hello Lorraine, lovely to have you drop in :) I'll be quite upfront and say that we are all slightly mad so don't believe any who say that they aren't :) (some are just slightly more mad than others). I'm also a first time grandmother but soon to be a second time around grandma!! ~~~~~~~~~~~to all Vonny

Welcome to the Wattlers thread Lorraine. We really need someone from WA to keep us up with what is happening over there in the West. What a joy a granchild is - congratulations. Sorry to hear your health has not been good but the Wattlers are always here to cheer you up if necessary - they are all mad except me! Just beware of a certain Dr Lew. Between you and I she is not a REAL Doctor and is guilty of overprescribing! Hope to see you back on the thread soon Cheers Anna

The heavens have opened up in Melb. Looked out to check the washing and all was ok, walked into the kitchen and down it came ( the rain not the Kitchen..lol) Ran out to grab the towels and got drenched, haven't seen rain like this for ages. Suzy Q....its not me. Hi Lorraine, welcome to the mad house. Dr Lew,.........me? .........never....he he he Gotta go again, daughter wants to use my scanner to make a pic CD for her friends 21st. Flakey

Hi Lorraine, I am from the west, many moons ago, from North Perth, Wembley Downs etc. .. Where are you located? .. I'm going home again for xmas as I've done the past two years. Are you any relation to Barry Cable the footballer (of about - well, I couldnt really say how long ago, as some of the girls on this thread are only young-uns, but ..... a long, lonnnng time ago??? (East Perth) The others have forgotten that we do have at least 5 West aussies on this thread, but they dont come here very often. Hope you enjoy your time with us. Jood (one of 3 Judes i.e Jude2, Jude3 and Jood)

Hi Larraine in WA Welcome, There are quite a few of us that are sane and only get led astray occasionally. Mostly when Lew is dishing out colourful pills. Rebs can be a bit disruptive, but she is laying low at the moment, don't know why. We miss her. Some will even help with your FH. Luv SuzyQ

ANOTHER grandmother.....wot is it with you lot and your grand kids? Trifley wonders off muttering to herself....'when is Mark gonna find a wife, let alone kids'.......

Hello my upside down friends How are you this morning Are any of you up for looking for a convict transportee for someone please,looking for James Towner transported 1839 sentance 10yrs..PLEASE i know wrong board,an i proberly get yelled at but thought i'd still try

It's okay Trifley, I am never likely to be a granny, was never a mummy. My cousin, David, who is now 54 has never married and his Mum has always wanted to be a grandma. Ofcourse she may be but doesn't know about it.

Hi Jood and all, I am located in Baldivis at the moment, I say at the moment because we are always wanting to move even though we have been in this house 3 months. My hubby Shane knows Barry Cable but not related, even though we say uncle Barry. I originally come from London and came to Australia in 1981 and Shane and I have been married 8 years, he has taken me back to England 3 times since then to see my rellies, mainly my mother and I was lucky enough to see her just before she died 2 years ago. I am now waiting for some of my lot to come and visit me. As for my health, I have managed to get into see the Dr this afternoon, I think it's all the pills I am taking that have made me sick this last time, so will try and get that sorted. I too can be quite mad and like a laugh and joke so I should fit right in, a. See you all later Lorraine

Ian I saw you sneek on another thread,,, get back here and say hi...Hope you are well If you need any help Larraine with your tree just ask away..We have a very intelligent lot on here..(you would wander at times..lol) but they are the best and ready to lend a hand if needed... Tassie Glad you had a lovely weekend with all the festivities for you Nan..and now your mother as well.. whoo hoo what a weekend of yummy food.. Just got a death cert. for my ggguncle and I feel so sad for him.. He was born in 1832 in the workhouse as he was illegitamate and he had a brother my distant grandfather . who was 2 years older..
