Gwenda, So sorry to hear about your aunt. Thoughts and hugs for you and your family. Pam

Sad news about your aunty, Gwenda, but at least the suffering was over quickly. It's terrible when those things drag on for months, not only for the sufferer, but for all the family as well. (((hugs))) to you. Lew Lew xxx

Hello you crazy Wattlers, I had to catch up on about 7 pages, had a busy weekend plus had one g.child stay over friday night that put paid to any access to the puta, the darling girl alter my screensaver I didn't see it till Saturday but I now have a blue background with 'I LOVE U NANA' written in pink running across the screen. She's only ten, she knows more about putas than I ever will. Trifley great news and I hope tomorrow goes well for you also, you will be in my thoughts and I believe Jilly has her op tomorrow as well positive thoughts her way too Donna all the best to your son and his team for this weekend and take care of yourself, you mentioned having some muscular pain, do you take anything for it? Tony we had a simlar piza experience in our case they thought it was a pick up order, after nearly an hour we rang them and discovered the mistake 15mins later it arrived but the wrong order, another phone call was made, after another 15-20mins they arrived with two, one being a freebie so with the one we already had that now made three pizas to eat. I gave two to my daughter for the g.kids the next day, they were happy. Best wishes to everyone have a good day, off now to do a bit more transcribing. luv Jillx

Morning Wattlers, This will be a quick one before I head to the kitchen for more cooking Donna - all the best to Zack and his teammates - a win would be great but they've done well to even get to the Grand Final - positive thoughts anyway. Trifley - good news and hope tomorrow's appointment is just as good. Hope Laurie is having a safe drive north. Will you be speaking Danish anytime soon now you've got your dictionary - lol We could have our own Princess Laurie on the Wattle thread Yvette - hope the exam went okay - such a clever lady On a sad note my Mum's last remaining sister was diagnosed with liver cancer last week. Got Mum's letter this morning telling me she had been admitted to hospital and when I rang this morning she told me she had died on Saturday - at least the suffering was short-lived. Back to the kitchen, will drop in later Gwenda

Okay Donna, may the power of the Wattlers be with Zack. That should fix it, lol.

Morning Donna and a special good luck wish to Zack for the footy. Doesn't matter if they don't win, the privilege is having made it to the Grand Final. Not many teams can claim that! Lew Lew xxx

Dear Lew, is this the list you were after, found it lurking a couple of pages back.

hi, hi, hi. 'puter sitting here doing nothing. I am so tired. better than being crabby or stressy. (update - yo lew and donna) the exam consisted of 8 tables of different body sections. containing elbow, shoulder (forequarter?), wrist and hand. identify different bits, say what they do, what nerves innervate those muscles. I've read the stephanie plum stuff. good fluffy reading. We bought some and borrowed some from the library in large print, which made reading a total delight. Cracked the kids up no end seing me read large print books. All the normal ones had been borrowed and I was desperate. Possum read 1--> 11 too although we haven't 'accessed' the 12th yet. After the hissy fit the other day i recovered quite nicely. It was short lived. Another lovely coz in the uk has sent me some pics. I've only ever a met a couple of my many cousins, so it never ceases to amaze me that regardlesss of the side of the family they come, I can recognise familiar features, as a result i end up crying. Some of the stuff you guys send me too has the same effect. Before I get into an essay on deep and meaningful - i'm off. Caffeine intake required. I will send you pooly stuff Lew, also have a easy weights list on the hardrive at home too, for any body who wants it. How we going to enter 10 lines of numbers each on here? That will get Julie Puss happening. theres 19 lotto-ers. Could be fun. love Yvette

Morning Wattlers, very cold in old Mudgee town this morning and windy. Trifles, your news is brilliant and I'm sure that your meeting with the oncologist will be just as successful. Please remember that our Jilly McMad is off for her operation today and our positive thoughts are required for her. Her ambition is to compare scars and share martoonies with our Queen Trifley! Well if that doesn't get her through, nothing will, lol Having friends over for lunch today. I'm made a Moroccan dish called 'Kifta'. It's like meatballs in a tomatoe sause, but is full of chillie, cumin, etc., and very spicy. I'll serve it with cous cous and steamed asparagus, Yum Bought some really cute things for Sarah Louise yesterday including the Complete Peter the Rabbit book and a gorgeous pink jumpsuit with a cat on the front. I love baby shopping. Now, who was asking me what I was reading? Anyway, I've just picked up the last Janet Evanovich book 'Twelve Sharp'. It's the 12th in the 'Stephanie Plum' bounty hunter series. They are very funny books and I can highly recommend them. Start with 'One for the Money' and work your way through, bou don't need to start at the beginning, as each book stands on it's own merits. Well, as I type, Yvette will be doing her exam. Good Luck and I hope all goes well. Tony, I presume those buying Lotto on Friday, as it is Wattle day, will want to share with all the Wattlers if we have a win. Please correct me, anyone, if I'm wrong. However, can someone tell me exactly who all the Wattlers are? Well, I'm off to get some breakfast and tidy up before lunch. Seeya Lew Lew xxx
