Sandra, you bold hussy - I was shocked to the core that you gave the finger to the taxi driver - don't worry, I would have done the same. .. I had a huge 4WD behind me this morning on the way down the mountain - closer than a car's width. .. Twice I braked for no apparent reason (other than to make him aware), and he backed off a bit. .. So impatient. Gwenda hugs to you and your Mum Mary - wots this about pics of you cavorting in the pool, and why didn't I get a copy, hmmmmmmmmmmmm??? I agree totally Lew Lew, 4 months old babies are really cute. Have a great evening all ~~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone. Jood (oh tinny Barb, would she like to pay my HUGE electricity bill???)

Tony, tell Barb congratulations. More A...than class lol Sandra, the home icecream is really yummy.. The mango icecream is mmmmmmmmmm. And most of their stuff is pretty reasonable. Pam

Afternoon Wattlers, Congrats to Barb Tony on her recent win,big phone bill??? lol you should get her to buy your lotto tickets lol. Gwenda sorry for the loss in your family. Yvette hope the exam went well All those not to well at the moment... get well soon. Donna good luck for your son's match on the weekend. Hows this nearly had road rage today.... was coming out of carpark of supermarket, was turning right, a car was coming up and I always wait in case they are going straight on instead on into carpark, when i started to get honking behind me not once but continual, looked in the mirror and here was a cab driver ( of unknown origin,looked like an arab to me) bite my tongue) how impatient was he , I was so mad I stuck my finger up at him and them slowed right down along the road with him behind me,getting a bit daring in my old age, but oh a bit of patience would go a long way. Thats my Waffle for the day Anna have you heard of Home icecream it comes from your part of the country and is delivered around the streets direct to the customer, they have just started in our area.? ok bye for now cheers Sandra in the Gong.

Good grief Tony - your Barb is so tinnie - bet she doesn't just take the wrapper off and leave the choccie for later - guess it would be too easy to know what choccie was what. Don't spose she's donating the winnings to the phone bill????? or for that matter the plastic - when it comes :))) Thanks for everyone's hugs and thoughts on the passing of my Aunt - can tell you it was quite a shock to read that she was hospitalised and then a bigger shock when I rang Mum and that's the first thing she tells me. Mum is the only one left now out of 1 boy and 3 girls and at 91 I think it has hit a lot harder as her sister had been in pretty good health for an 87 y.o. Just taking a break from the kitchen - have made lasagne and cannelloni for my boys - daughter not impressed until I said we were having roast for dinner. Still have some meat mixture left over so on her way home she will get me some more shells and then I'll finish putting that altogether. Yes, it's my turn to buy Lotto this week. I will wait until Friday tho so that we are all buying (or most of us) on our special Wattle day. Won't be home until after 6 tho so don't panic that you haven't received your numbers from me. Tassie - hope you're being careful standing on that chair. You've done well with your packing by the sounds of it. Lara - nice to hear from you again - hope you're getting a chance to relax as well as being such a social butterfly and tourist. Back to the kitchen, do some dishes, bring in the washing - which I should be able to put straight away as it has been absolutely beautiful here today - 17 and heading to 20 on Friday -spring is on the way. Catchya later Gwenda 12 sleeps to NY

Hi, This extra lotto ticket for Wattle Day, do I have to buy it on Friday or can I get it on thursday when I have to go out? SuzyQ

Okay, so it's agreed. Those who buy 10 lines of Lotto in honour of Wattle Day, any if anyone of those wins, then it will only be those who bought the 10 lines who will share in that prize. Sounds fair to me. And for goodness sake Tony, let Barb buys yours, lol. Lunch went very well and our Ruby has grown heaps in the month she has been in the UK, but she still recognised her Aunty Lew which was nice. Lots of smiles and giggles and other 'interesting' conversation noises. Four month olds are oh so cute. MMmmmm, suspect plants going in retirement village! MARY, what have you been up to?????? You've only just moved there, lol. Lew lew xxx

OMG....she's done it agin.......:>))) Just sittin here on puter eatin me lunch...and Madam ( Barb ) passes me in the kitchen going...YES...YES...YES....with big smile on the dial. Thought she musta had some muscle'y young bloke locked up in her salon....lol After she calmed down, i said what's the YES.YES.YES for. She just picked up a $1,000 bucks on a SMS comp for Smarties, Kit Kat, Areo, or Minties wrapper. Nestle & Allens is giving a $1,000 a day comp, if you SMS the barcode on ya mobile phone or sumptin, but you gotta have the bar code to prove it. Barb says.....Entry form is at Coles, and valid to the 6th Sept. I wondered why she was eatin sooooo much Chocolate on the plane flight.....now i know.....lol Then she gave me the Phone bill, as my present....:>((((( Talk about a tinnie bum. Well better go back to work......someone's gotta put in the hard yards.....:>((((( Think its Gewnda to buy our normal Lotto for this weekend. I also agree with everyone else about the extra Lotto. Av a good un. Tony Oz...:>))))

Hello all sorry been absent couple days been doing the touristy thing and I get very tired from travelling around its as though I've walked to where we've been. Gwenda so sorry about your Mum's sister hugs for you and Mum too (((( Gwendaand MUM))))) Donna 'Go the Hornets' all the best for Zack and the team just do your best fellars and congratulations for making the Grandee . Laurie guess you are on your way seems our Laurie is not the only naughty one I just heard on the news that a 5ft marijuana plant was found growing in the driveway of a retirement village somewhere the seniors who live there said 'we just thought it was nice looking weed and it wasn't hurting so we watered it too' oh yeh sure we believe ya . Mary the photos in the pool were gorgeous and your face said it all enjoy sweetie you did look so happy. Trifley I agree if you buy an extra ticket and one of those lines win then you share with those who have put their no's on here as having bought ten extra lines in honour of Wattle Day on Friday or as in Mary's case they are sent to us by Tony and are the extra ten lines ok everyone agree so then those who don't buy extra TEN lines are not in it if they don't want to be and no pressure if you don't want to be fairest way I'd say. BTW getting back to FH can anybody help with this please when my Smedley family came over in 1856 Laurie found out that it said in the Archives for me that George's brother and Mother were already here but I looked on passenger lists and it doesn't say them on ships arriving earlier than 1856 although there is a list with Mr. Smedley and Mrs Smedley on about four lots of them but as John was only young boy would not have thought he would be called MR on the list what do you think and is there any other lists for arrivals in Sydney before 1856 please that you know of, that I might find Hannah and John on . All the best for the exam Yvette hope you do better than I would have in such a subject mate you clever cookie Tiger got a nice certificate for winning the Bocci mens singles yeh well his game just came good for that didn't it eh let me down badly in the doubles as I said thank the Lord or I would have had to play more games with back aching and tired out just from walking up and down and bending I'm so fit PmsL there is site on the net you can find it by going to 7 today tonight yahoo site it tells you how to improve your life style and when you will live to if kep on as you are NOT going there it will say you should be gone already woman get real LOL ok made up for being awol so will see you all tonight love Lara

Afternoon all Just having 5 mins breather, half way through washing one of the bathroom walls and ceiling, it is a smaller one and ceiling is only about 8 foot can reach it by standing on chair. Gwenda, thoughs going to you and your family at this time, as it was said earlier, at least by the sound of it she didnt suffer long. Trifley I am with you in regards to the special tickets bought on Friday 'Wattle day' or for that reason, that any winnings be shared with the ones that bought the tickets, which may be all of us anyway. Will have to let our faithful leader work out how we share the money when we win and are we still having this weeks normal Wattlelotto? Tony ??? SuziQ good to see you pop in. I hope the back continues to improve to a bearable situation. Donna congrats on your son's team making it to the Grand Final, fingers crossed they do well. Ok better get back to work. Cheers Sue

Heeeheee Greetings from the number nicker who didn't have to take her sox off . . . . yeeee I can count !! Sitting under the golden arches having a cuppa coffee, I thought they may get upset if I just set up shop and used their wireless - but the coffee not bad anyway. Travelling well, actually enjoying it! Trifley . . great news hon - will be in touch later Gwenda, your poor mum must be feeling very sad - special thoughts for you and your family. Love the lists Vonny . . . where you dig then out of . . . must remember to go back and save them for Ray he would enjoy reading them.

Hi SuzyQ...keep on top of that BP. It can be nasty if let go. Duck...I have people keeping a close eye on the border. That fugitive wont get far.....lol Hi Vonny.....how's the boat going? I'd better go make nthese 2 a cuppa before I have a revolt on my hands. TX

Hi Wattlers Gwenda...sorry to hear about your aunt. I hope your mum is ok. Hugs to her and you. Yvette...that exam sounds tough. I haven't touched an anatomy book in decades so I'd probably fail the first question....'Name....' lol Donna...I'll email you about getting together on Sunday, after the big game, for a cuppa. You'll only be 5mins from my place. Crew....that lunch sounds spicey. You wait 'till you get to my age....you wont be able to even talk about food like that....pmsl We'll certainly rack up some pages on Friday when we put our Lotto lines on here but it is probably the easiest way to do it. As far as I'm concerned....if my ticket wins something then IT GETS SHARED WITH THOSE WATTLERS WHO BOUGHT EXTRA TICKETS. I don't mean to yell I just want to make sure I'm understood. Graeme and Mark are both off today so I've asked them to repot some plants for me. I'd better go supervise. see ya'll later. love Trifley X

~~~~~~~~~madly, just about to go to 'work' so catch you all tonight. have to be quick or Ducky will get me :) 13. You are stuck with your debt if you can't budge it 14. Local Area Network in Australia: The LAN down under. 15. A calendar's days are numbered. 16. A lot of money is tainted: 'Taint yours, and 'taint mine. Vonny

SuzyQ There is a fugitive on the run heading for Qld. The border patrol is on the lookout for the drug trafficker. Just make sure you keep your doors locked. Ducky

Hi Wattlers I'm back, well just for short periods. My sciatica is getting better and I can sit for longer periods now. The head ache was my blood pressure getting all out of kilter. I am hoping it is all sorted out now, new tablets etc. Just back from doctors and she seemed happier with it. Have to have another blood test this week to check on everything else. I never completely get rid of the sciatica, I just control it with paracetamol. The specialist wanted to operate on my back, but I didn't like the odds and decided against it. I will just have to be more careful of how I lift, bend, twist etc. I have a bulging disc that presses on my sciatic nerve. I keep hoping that I may sneeze and put it all back. One of the pleasures of getting old. If I could loose weight I think it will be easier. Enough of me. There are far too many pages for me to read, but I I read something about an extra lotto ticket. Can someone please explain. I think it is my turn to buy the ticket next week. Well, I had better not push my luck, time to get moving Luv SuzyQ btw if there have been any exciting or scandalous events could some one please bring me up to date.
