What Tony??????? Barb won another trip???? To take all of us with you on holiday???????? (I wish) Jude 3 Yv, cheese, biccies, olives AND dark choccie Mmmmmmmm So, anyone coming to Tumbar b*****y rumba, shooting kanga b****** y roos? etc etc. Actually, I reckon they WANTED it to be banned because of all the publicity! I noticed they had ALREADY made a couple of other versions. Actually, it's not my favoutite word. Some people just use it like a adjective before everything and it wears mighty thin. I really don't think that they ever listen to themselves. Hubby took me out to dinner last night. I ordered Kangaroo. He said he couldn't bring himself to eat the national emblem but it was yummy :) All this talk of wedding anniversaries. Ours was in 1972 and yes, Hubby wore a green suit with flares. He also wore it to my sister's wedding but youngest sister totally banned him from wearing it at hers. She said she didn't want to see three different weddings with him wearing the same suit in the photos! I think we gave it to our youngest boy a few years ago. What's old is new :) have to go shopping - but just for food :( However, I treated myself to some new cushions yesterday. Another perfect day today. Love this time of year. Vonny

Lew Lew good luck with the shopping - I would rather shop for household furniture etc that clothes any day. Let me know if you find a shop on your travels with a dressing room that has a mirror that makes you look like Megan Gale or Elle Mac Pherson instead of the short waisted, dumpy reflections I always get. Do all dress shops have 'fat' mirrors or am going to the wrong ones? lol. Maybe I should start watching biggest loser , my boys keep telling me that I'm cuddly - hhmmpphh!!! Of to make a cuppa, the dead peeps are driving me nuts today, as well as the live ones I have to talk to! Catch you later Jude 3 YV

Arvo Wattles........... Guess What!! Tony Oz.. :>))

Hi Wattlers I don't care what terrible stories you bloody lot come up with.......... I still like polly waffles! Lew Lew before you start piling all that new furniture up against your new walls, remember.............power points! They should be double points and there should be at least one in every wall. We moved into this house 2 years ago and found that all the points (what there was of them!) were singles! Untill we snagged a friendly electrician to update things we had extension leads running all over the place. You don't have to use them......but if you need them, by god the're handy. And don't forget the most important room in the house............. the one with the computer, monitor, printer, fax, modem, desk lamp, speakers and of course bar fridge to keep the charddy cold! By the way........this house was built by poms. Don't they use electrical appliances in England? Have just added another clown loach to the fish tank (another $10). This time we have fitted it with a homeing device so that if anyone gets hungry and tries to nick it we can follow it right to the culprit hee hee! Glad to hear Laurie is safe.........thought we might have to send out a search party for her. Ohh shucks, that would have meant we all would have to pack up and go to Europe to look for her........bugger! Good luck to all you dieters. I'll let you know how much I lose with my special 'clean as a whistle' diet next monday ha ha ha :) Tony.....a gemini....my hubby is one of those! Could be good or bad hee hee :) Had better toddle off for a while. Have to do all the ironing from yesterdays wash. Hugs to all the wonderful waffle wattlers! Trifley

Hi Jood, s'pose I should send myself to the NC, but bloody hell why should I!!! lol Dubbo has bigger and better showing and is about the same distance as Bathurst. You're not getting your feet done by the 'Tender in the NC are you, 'cause I think he's otherwise occupied, lol. Lew Lew xxx

You got me b****dy giggling here Lew Lew - and you didnt even bother to put yourself in the NC this time - I spose you reckon it was justified lol I could just see you saying it! I think its about the only swear word I use - How can one say 'hell' - it absolutely HAS to be 'b****dy hell' to put substance to the occasion! I must confess to using s**t under my breath sometimes tho. You have to go to Dubbo for shopping - ? I'd have thought Bathurst would have been closer??? Yes Gwenda - Im watching 'the greatest loser' - I too am surprised with the things they have to do - its more like that other show where they are living on desert islands and having to eat grose food and do all sorts of almost impossible tasks. I thought in this show, they would just do exercises and diet, and thats how the winner would arrive - the one who lost the most. I think I am a candidate for the 'greatest putter onner' pmsl Oh well, Im off to have my feet 'done', Cheers Jood

Sorry, couldn't resist, yiipeee 800. Hooray, let's celebrate!!!!! Coooo Eeeee (and bloody, bloody, bloody!!!!!!)

I'm bloody well here, Jude 3, great to hear from you. Sorry you've not been feeling well. You didn't eat some of the salad I managed to poison myself with about a week ago, did you? pmsl Oh yes, the old floating polly waffle joke. That brings back memories. All this talk about NT and now I want a holiday. S'pose I'd better move into that new house first! Off to Dubbo shopping for furniture tomorrow. Goodie. I lllloooovvvvveeee shopping. Hope all you Wattlers have a wonderful day. Chat soon. Lew Lew xxx

Trifly - reading your message about Simone Warne & dancing - if that's what she thinks she's doing - here is a quote from Shane in an interview he did with Jana Wendt in The Bulletin - 'They're (his kids) going to see it as my fault - which is the case', he said. But at least Simone got a career out of it. 'She understands the reason she's getting these opportunities. She wouldn't have got them if she wasn't with me,' Warne said. I'm sure she's still there only because his fingers have been texting like crazy - she should have gone after the first night. Hopefully Kate will go next week - she's not taking it seriously at all. Anyone watching The Biggest Loser - I'm a bit worried that some of these challenges are way OTT - I'm waiting for someone to have a heart attack on the show - exercise is one thing but running up and down steps 25 times is toooo much. I'd better move it, move it or I might end up on the next series - lol. Catch you later Gwenda

Morning Wattlers Have been reading all your messages and PMSL. You have made my days, have had gastro bug last few days (its a hell of a diet). Still had to come to work tho, ( I want a job with sick days! - pouting and stamping feet), no fun when its your own business and there is no one to work for you. Enough wingeing - feeling better today. A belated happy anniversary to Tony & Barb. What a blokey poem - haven't heard that one before. We were also married in 1973 - June 23rd - it was the coldest June day in Melbourne since 1886 (or close to it). Everyone in the photos look frozen, - white knuckles /blue lips. There is a photo with my veil horizontal and the wind chill was - well bbrrrrr! Ken wore a lovely purple velvet suit, flared trousers of course and every time the kids look at the wedding photos they give him heaps. He even had the long Elvis sideburns. He told me if I was late to the church - he wasn't waiting around - so I got there 15 mins early and the minister made me wait until the dot of 4.00 pm. He must be the only man to do a dip down and up under the veil when the minister said you may kiss the bride. He claims he didn't know he had to lift the veil back off my face to do the deed. The whole congregation just burst out laughing. We had a lovely 2 day honeymoon in Mildura, we were broke after putting on a deposit to start building our house. Plus the wedding had to be put forward 6 months (in a hurry!) I used to love polly wafftles until one day at a friends place some bright spark decided it would be funny to slip one in the swimming pool while everyone was having a great time - you have never seen a pool evacuated so quickly - first glance it did look quite real floating around. Ken and the boys are chocaholics - I would prefer some nice cheese, biccies and olives. mmmm. Our oldest son sits down with a good book and a family block of choc and just eats it like a biscuit. Lara you bought back some horrible memories - Ken had bought a wagon wheel to eat at the pictures (when we were first going out, he opened it up and offered me first bite - it was full of ants - I did manage to make it out of the theatre - just - but it was a revolting experience. Don't feel quite the same way about chocolate like I used to - especially wagon wheels - on the rare occasion I buy a packet of them for the guys I have to split them in half just to check. lol. Glad to hear Laurie is no longer lost. Much as I don't like the heat, I'm still glad I'm here and not in UK or Europe brrr! Mind you had our split system put in the cottage this week - so I don't care how hot it gets this weekend. I'm going to be cool, cool, cool! We are doing the floors this weekend in the cottage - more b*****y dust and dirt. I have a feeling talking about b****y - that a lot more people are going to use the phrase 'where the b*****y hell are you? Well its 9.55am in Melbourne - 'where the b****y hell are you all? lol catch you later jude 3 YV

FFS!!! What's wrong with our add? Thought it was pretty bloody good myself. I understand they have beeped out the offending? word, but I bet they haven't blacked out her t*ts nearly falling out of their restraints.!! ?????????????????????????????

Gwenda, I guess I am old fashioned .... or stubborn!!!! It will always be Ayers Rock and The Olgas to me! I do recall Gemtree also. - whooooooooooo - I shouldnt be here, I m due out shortly .... catch yas all later. Jood

Morning all Wattlers, Ooohhh Tony - do they still have those beds somewhere - what a hoot that would have been - pmsl Joodles - Kata Juta is the Olgas - Tony & I are just showing off - lol I used to look at the MacDonnell Ranges every day - just loved them. They changed colour too as the day progressed. Another good spot is The Gemtree - out around Harts Range - you go out there and fossick to your hearts content - the one place the kids could get dirty without being told off and they just stayed in the car - d'oh. The radio this morning is full of the poms banning our tourism ad - wonder what Alf Garnett would say. Apparently it breaches their advertising standards because it has a swear word in it - never mind that their movies are full of the 'f' word - that must be okay. Weird world we live in - when I was younger b****y was about the worst you could say until the Americans started using the 'f' word on a regular basis and the poms and us copied - now it's rare to hear a teenager say b****y. Gotta move - I'm back to work this arvo - gee I've enjoyed this week at home not being interrupted by work on Wednesday but it's back to the grind now - well until the end of the month when we are back to Adelaide for a family gathering. Have a great day everyone - catch you later Gwenda
