Wow, we've reached 600 already. Impressive!!! Laurie, love sun dried tomatoes. I make my own semi- dried ones using roma tomatoes. Just cut in half brush them with oil ( I prefer macadamia) sprinkle with herbs of choice and cook in very slow oven for an hour or two. delicious. I easily go through a plate of them with chunks of cheese. now I'm feeling peckish. wonder what snacky things I've got???

Lara, I have all the necessary items packed, scarves, gloves, beanie . . . this will be the first time I wear my overcoat with the linning - the linning has always been rolled up in the top of the cupboard! To my friend Bev who went shopping with me for a coat a few years back and poo pooed me buying the one with the heavy linning . . . nahnahnananah !!!! Party sounds great . . . but Tony have you got enough Baileys . . . Lara will go through that in a flash! Who is bringing the Olives and sundried tomatoes ? - I'm addicted so bring plenty! Dont forget plenty of chilli and a few beans on the nachos please Rebs! Sandra - the prawns sound great - but I thought for sure you would be bringing muscles. Just for you I will have a feed of them at the place in Whitstable that is famous for their muscle dishes. (name escapes me at the moment - too much other important stuff on the floppy disc) Mary glad your having a good time - so lovely to see you drop in! Hey Lew, were going to have a baby in Mudgee to add to the family tree in August . . so excited! ! !, that young lady deserves all the happiness in the world.

Tony ! you be careful there my friend, you could end up loosing your place on the holiday roundabout. yes, living so close to the airport I get to hear plenty of planes and smell the fumes, so I'm ready! Lara, I think Ray will be tying the camera around my neck . . . tight! I most certainly will inundate you with reports and picis when I get the chance. Thanks for all your good wishes folks, your ever so kind. Last week I told Lew about my gtgtaunty Fanny when she brought up about strange names . . . well she is on someone elses tree on GR, found her today, fingers crossed that this one gets back in touch with me. Didn't get her as a hot match but rather as I scanned thru the names. Found another family member on the same GR members tree too, so not a fluke! Be back tomorrow with satu malam cheers luv Laurie

Hi Wattlers I have had a lovely weekend. Visited my nephew & his partner on Saturday and we just sat on their porch and stuffed ourselves with king prawns and chardonnay! I wonder what the poor folks were doing?? Spent most of Sunday finishing the furniture moving in the lounge room. Well Hubby & son finished it, I just supervised. This of course meant that the TV had to be moved from one side of the room to the other (also vhs, & dvd machines). Thank the goddesses that our son knows what to do with all the plugs & cables! Hubby would never have known how to put what back where. Any way the room looks good for another couple of years or until I get the urge to shift things again :} You all seem to be having fun at the moment. Visiting friends, relatives and planning holidays. Isn't life grand when you have plenty to do? Lara....your little pool sounds cosy. If it was too large it could be a bother to clean and become a chore instead of a relaxation. Enjoy! Now the ongoing saga of the tyre/wheel. I have been on to the company which sold us the tyres and they have not heard from the Nationwide Transport company since Monday 20th Feb. The new set of insurrance claim papers were faxed to them on that date as the transport company said...'we have lost the other papers'. This has been going on for over a month and I am determined not to give in. The wheel was delivered damaged and insurrance should pay for it. Needless to say our son can't put the new wheels on his car because he only has 3 of them!! That feels better....a bit of a gripe, get things off my chest and I'm ready to start the ironing. I might make a short stop by the 'corner' and check out the new 'tender'. See y'all later Trifley (aka Dianne)

Afternoon Wattlers and greetings from Sunny Mudgee. All's well here this afternoon and the office isn't too much of a pain. Hubby's just arrived in Aspen and ready for a final week of skiing before coming home next Monday. Hope everybody is having a great day. Chat this evening. Lew Lew xxx :-)

Hi all you lovely people.. Laurie. Have a good holiday and find lots of dead peeps.. Hope the weather is fine for you and not too cold. Wish I could wave at you as you fly over our place but wont be there... so I will wave from here. We are in Whitianga on the Coramandel Peninsular at the moment but head back to Wanganui tomorrow. Lara Cant believe my eyes ... did I read that you have a pool in.. wont you miss your blow up one...LOL glad for you and enjoy it as it gets so darn hot where you are. Tony. Ok.OK. what did the fish cost at the fish shop .. bet you bought it before you got home... Dont have much time so only had a few minutes to read messages. Noticed some new names so Hi to you all. will have to catch up when I get home.. Love to you all and hope you are all well. Mary

morning wattlers..oops afternoon that should be, whens the party?? I'll bring the pizzas. the morning has just flown by, phonecall from very homesick daughter put be behind to start with and since then I keep finding things to clean. I was so looking forward to a whole day home alone today, I was going to fly through the housework and then sit in the garden with a good book but I guess since I haven't done much in the way of cleaning for weeks I really should get stuck in to it..not that anyone else will notice. Lara with only 3 days to go now is the time to go back to the suitcase and take half of what you packed out, you know you dont need it and you will need the extra space for the trip home....helping the local economy is a very charitable thing to do...lol Has ayone heard from Wilson? should we send out a search party to the wineries of SA? Hi to everyone, not going to attempt names I'll only forget someone, Have a good day Jude2

Morning All Party???? Well I will have to bring the fresh fruit, Strawberries, Cantelope, Grapes, Kiwi Fruit anything else??? Have to look after my figure and diet he he. Well it is a lovely sunny day here today and I am going to have 2 excited girls this afternoon when They get home from school as I have won tickets to MS Fest Concert that they have been harping to go to but at $60.00 a head I couldnt afford it. The local radio station had tickets to win and I scored 2 ticket for them. Pity they dont have air fares up for grabs lol. Anyway that unmentionable word awaits me so off I go to do some . . . . Catch you all after. Cheers Sue

Hiya folk!! Just popped in for a minute while my back recovers. Dining room table was not made for sewing. Oooh Lew, I remember Miss Helena. She always reminded me of a ventriloquist dummy the way her mouth moved. Noodle survived her first week at uni. I'm just pleased to have her out from under my feet. lol! Did someone say party!!! Not sure i could stay long, but I'll throw in a couple of plates of nachos, with guacamole and salsa. Back to the grindstone, catch up later....................hopefully. Laurie, have a great time on hols. Try and be good, we all know you're not as innocent as you make out. :-p Cheers, Rebs xxx *wanders off singing.........bend and stretch, reach for the stars, there goes Jupiter, here comes Mars.*

Morning all, Cooler down here too. Ah, Romper Room, you reminded me. hands up anyone who remembers Miss Patricia??? I never saw it (not old enough cough, cough) (actually, we didn't have a tellie!) Anyway, Miss Patricia was my daughter's kindy teacher about 20 years ago. lovely lady - she was older then of course :) Are we giving Laurie a virtual 'Bon Voyage' Party???? I'll bring dips and bikkies, leave drinkies for those more experienced in such things. Vonny

Evening All. Nice breeze just starting up here, so sleep should be comfortable. Busy out at the new house today. Damn builders used the tank water without refilling from the bore! How hard is it to flick a switch. Anyway, tank now full and olives are currently being watered. Painters due to put second coat on during the week. Have gone with muted greens, blues, mauves and greys and am very happy with the outcome. Lap pool is now full of water. Pity the power's not on so I can run the filter. Hopefully, this will happen next week. Your pool sounds wondeful Lara. I can just image you soaking in the cool of the evening. Hubby phoned from LA on his way to Aspen and is having great time, although he confesses he misses me (better not forget the duty free!!!) You must be very excited now Laurie and I'm pleased to hear that you are supporting local economies along the way. What a saint! *Waving like a lunatic in all directions to everybody, all the Judes, Vonny, Shazz, Anna, Tony, Sue, Sandra, WT, Rebs and everybody I forget to mention* (God I feel like Miss Helena out of Romper Room, best get meself a mirror - funny she never mentioned seeing a Lewella, oh well* Nighty night all. Chat with you tomorrow when I'll be pretending to very serious legal work! Lew Lew xxx :-)
