Afternoon all waffle wattlers I agree....a little body fat never hurt anyone. In fact in my next life I am coming back as a bear because........... When you're a bear you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that. Before you hibernate you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too. When you're a girl bear you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you are sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that. If you're a mother bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that. If you're a bear your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat. Yep.....I'm coming back as a bear!

Afternoon Wattlers, Another perfect day, this has to be my most favorite time of the year. Mmmmmm..... pollywaffles.... wagon wheels.....making me want chocolate,lol.....I LOVE chocolate....when do we hear about the chocolate diet, i could go on that one he he. I have been putting in an extra big effort to find a couple of tricky dead peeps, have not really found much, but have covered some ground that i won't have to go over again...thank goodness. I had a few things to do up the street this morning, so made the effort to get ready, drove to town, FOUND a PARKING space, went into the shopping centre and remembered I had left purse next to computer where i was updating virus scan. Can i have a senior moment before i am senior?, or was it a CRAFT moment.... I did not have one thing that i could do up the street without my purse. Now it can wait until tomorrow. Take care everyone. Wilson

Thanks Jood. Nice to know the germans have released her!!!! Lew Lew xxx

~~~~~~~ FROM LAURIE (TEXT MSG) ~~~~~~~~~ Call off search party all great ... Show, finished last night - off to Brussels later today. Trubs with online access but should improve - technology melt-down! 2.30am ... found msge on way to Lon Luv Lol There ya go Love Jood

Morning All. You lot have been very chatty. Takes me half an hour just to catch up. Lara, our builders are local guys who have actually won some awards. They're very good, but need a shove every now and then, like must builders. Went up to the site last night and 'lo and behold the kitchen's in!!! Looks fantastic. Also the pavers around the pool have been done and look great. I'm very happy. Pictures to follow shortly. Hi Rebs. Love the sound of the 'tatoe diet. What will they come up with next? What we need to head towards is convincing men that cellulite and tummy blubber are both attractive attributes (yeah right!) Wonder what's happened to our Laurie? You don't think they're holding her in custody for impersonating a German do you? Sprecken Zee Doich? Loved the photos, WT. Always good to put a face to the name. Your boy isn't the ugliest one on the block either, is he! And hubby looks like a real character. Yum, Wagon Wheels, have they really got smaller, or have we just got bigger? Ever been back to your old primary school? I remember going back to my first class room when I had to vote. Boy, those steps have shrunk! Off to choose towel rails and vanity handles today. Way too many to choose from. Going to be 33C, although it's been getting down to about 10C at night which is great. Hope you all have a great day. *Waves to all, blows kisses and hopes she doesn't miss anyone* Lew Lew :-) xxx

ooh!!!! ETA is........???? Haven't caught up with the threads yet this morn. Must go and read.

Oooooh Reb ................. Our scarves are on the way - Im SOOO excited!!!! Jood

Morning folk! Thanks Gwenda, Yeah, the dress is different. The last few have all been traditional knotwork, so I thought I'd try something else. Most of them are leaning towards the geometric designs these days. I guess because the skirts aren't nearly as full and the simpler designs fit the skirt better. I'm heading back towards the knotwork for the next one though. We still have pollywaffles around if you look hard enough. We have a Coles express servo on the corner, so maybe coles is the place to look. I was very impressed with that potatoe diet, so I'm gonna give it a go. maybe I can lose the mountains of flab of the belly. Any excuse to pig out on tatties. lol!! *shrugs off sceptisim* catch up later, cheers folk love Rebs x

Morning all, Rebs - what a dress, congratulations on a job well done - certainly different from what we normally associate with Irish dancing - I know I wouldn't have had the patience to do all that. Used to knit a lot which was okay but hated the sewing up - lol All Polly Waffle droolers - try Coles - know they sell them here in Canberra - not sure about Woolies - don't think I've seen them there. To all weight loss achievers - good on ya - count me in - after Easter, daughter's birthday, when I finish me Fruitchocs ..... no really - I do try to eat healthy and am keeping up with the walking. Did an hours gardening yesterday and a couple on the ironing - just got to keep moving, moving, moving. Lara - thanks for the emails - love 'em Guess what I'm watching at 4.30 each day - no not B&B - Top Cat - loved that cartoon. At least OH can come home from work and play games on puta while I'm busy with TC, Fancy, Brain, Benny & Choo Choo and of course the long suffering Officer Dibble. Well time to start the day proper - hi to everyone - too many to mention without offending if I miss someone. Hope you all have a great day. Catch you later Gwenda

yes Joodles should be coming to Yarrawonga and we could make the rest of the crew pick the one they like the best and determine once and for all which potatoe salad is the ultimate one lol

Evening all, Rainbow chocolate covered ginger just doesn't sound the same! lol I wondered what had happened to Wagon Wheels - Hubby loves them but a while ago they went small - more like wheel-barrow wheels! must of been when the company changed hands. Minding grand daughter today. She is such a joy. Poor daughter is quite sick this time with number 2. I have tomorrow off so will chat then :) Vonny

lol!! pity you wont be at Y'wonga Jood, we could have had a tattie salad bakeoff. lol!! Yeah, the cat thingy person loves me. She'd better not rub up against me though. I think chips are okay, 'pending on what you cook them in. And fat ones are better than skinny ones. like 'em fat, I do.

Now now - Reb - MYYYYYYY tater salad is to die for - so if you think your's is better'n mine and Lara thinks hers is better than yours - then weez all gonna hafta swop recipes. (I bin looking at ya thread) *wunders if chips are acceptable* Does that naughty cat follow you round wherever you go Reb???????? Jood

The diet was great Jood. You can eat tatties brekky, lunch dinner, whenever. And however you like them, potatoe and tomatoe omelet, tattie and tuna pie, baked tatties, wedges, unlimitless. But you have to cut out bread, rice and pasta, and you should be sparing with the additives such as butter and sour cream. apart from that your diet is basically normal. Meats, fish, other vegies etc. Sounds pretty good to me. Rebs x

Ooooh - wot was the tatie diet all abart????? So Im not the only one who can't stand Daryl - stupid idiot he is. I think he performs for himself. Trifley - peeked at your pics - very nice, noticed you had your View Club badges on - I am Program Officer for the Springwood View Club - you going to Geelong for the convention this year?? Lara, I'd rather trz tzping german methinks - much easier than Eye talyon Jood

PMSL Lara................btw, I don't do grovel very well. And I'm actually happy to sleep in a boat on the lake as long as I get a break from here. lol!!

Gday, evening at least well devily you earned your name with that one didn't ya hhheeee , still havnt decided which pic wasn't real must go and have another look lol Anna you have no idea how much I could murder Daryl Somers he is so false and Sonia as well gushy stupid woman, you makes bad taste jokes that werent funny the first time I heard them some 4o years ago, the concept is great and I like Kosta Szeur too he is a real nice bloke ,funny a great dancer just needs to act more with it , but the shouldnt have got rid of Luke he did such a great job last night so improved from his first night they should have got rid of that Kate Lambrook she s a dill and couldn't dance to save her self and sorry but Simone Warne is a dreadful dancer and she drives me mad. Reb I have to tell you I'm an old woman who has to take speed booohooo and sometimes only sometimes of course can't shutup so now you've really done your dash and you will be sleeping in the garage girl course you've been and gone and hurt me feelings big time, and no amount of grovelling or crawling will help unless of course you come bearing gifts such as a bottle of Baileys or something else equally noice really noice like that that we can drink before the others get here hhheee. OMG people bringing in these diseases that we got rid off or never had before here it's a disgrace and the government dept responsible ought to be shot.OK off the soap box now . Sandra the amazing race is one of my favs too and have watched every one from the first one that they used to put on here at 11:30pm at night then when it won at the Awards they decided that it should be on earlier thank heaven , the other show that is the best ever to come out of the USA is Third Watch and they Bu***R around with that too and make me very cross Trifly Dianne yesterday, today, and tomorrow, brunsfelsia is one of my favourite plants I have two in the garden here but can't get them to flower like they do in Queensland . If you ever go to or near Gympie there is a antique shop on the Noosa rd that looks like a house a long building and you go in there when ytt is in flower the whole place smells divine they have the best plant of it I have ever seen so much so that I thought it was a climber as it was when I saw it about 8ft tall after I bought mine both of them I found out the two I have are not the perfumed one as only one is strongly perfumedand I havn't yet got that one but will. In indropilly too lots of houseshave it and just driving around there is lovely when its flowering. Joodles I have been determined to learn a second language and I chose Italian and bought a program for the putor to do it and havn't looked at it for months as well as the excercise bike lol should take it to the naughty cnr with me sit on the excercise bike while sorting those naughty peeps out in the cnr, and speak to them in only Italian heehe Anna too much info you and hubby been hard at it omg I nearly had a coronary when I read that girl. Vonny have had those classes up on the notice board in my kitchen for a while and had the ones I thought Mike should do circled and he wrote no way get alife woman on it just goes to show you he thought they were for real Lew the builders weren't Ezy Homes were they that is the name of the builders from hell that Cassie is taking to court because they shouldnt be allowed to build a dogs kennel. Better go and hope we do hear from Mike before he goes back thats if he goes back lol well will say ny nite now see Reb can't shutup when just have taken a tablet hehe Bye all Love Lara

Donna, did you watch extra tonight? One of the storylines was the potatoe diet. One woman lost 18 kilos in 3 months, but you have to cut out bread, rice and pasta. (cutting out pasta hurts a bit since I love Italian) But eating tatties for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and any way you like?? Diet made in heaven..................yummy!!! Trifley, loved the photos. You are very photogenic. xx

Hi folks.....I'm back again. While I was fiddleing around with the family album I thought I might start one on the photopage. So if any of you are interested in seeing what a wine trifle really looks like....you can find it in my album. Hi Tony.....if you want a wagon wheel you will find them in the Arnott's shelves in the grocery stores. Unfortunately Weston's sold the line to Arnotts. I love them but we have an embargo on Arnott's biscuits in this family sooooo.....no more Wagon wheels for me. And pollywaffles.....after all that talk in the 'corner' i raced out to buy me some but no luck. Couldn't find them any where. I will keep looking tho' as I like a bit of waffle now & then! Lets hope they haven't gone over to the dark side too. 'Bye Trifley

Lol Rudes, shouldn't that be Polly Wattler! *heads back to naughty corner for telling corny jokes*
