Hi Joodles....we could do aqua-aerobics in Crew's lap pool...lol TX

Bring ya whistle to bring them into line, unless you can whistle yourself .. pmsl Jood

should have written his name as possum ****** on the census also considered the possiblity of the wattle h20 @ mudgee. :-) love yvette xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Did I miss something? Are you going to Qld Lyn??? Yvette - I reckon you should take us for aqua classes at Mudgee - but the mob will probably have a martooni in one hand, .. I guess they wont spill much. Jood

Evenin' all Hi Lyn....where and when is your holiday to Qld.? Not trying to be nosey but thinking along the lines of a mini meet...hee hee. Mary...don't worry...you'll soon be unpacked. Graeme came home tonight with a stuffed up nose so I told him your idea of Brandy & Dry. He thinks it a good idea. Yvette....aahhh...you do realise that Possum shall be his Wattle name from hence forth...PMSL Enjoy your quiet, kid-free house. Sleep well folks. love Trifley X

Had a look at the site Lyn. worked ok. I've saved the addy and will try and remember to put it on my mail to cousins etc. I'm going to try and save wattlers for a special treat over the weekend as really have to do an essay. As per usual, have left it. did a fair bit of research but have to write the thing now. wattle aqua , sounds like a new chardonnay sleep tight and try not to get caught up in the Friday night mayhem. love from Yvette xxxx

Hi Wattlers - forgot to tell you all that my cousin in UK who is a website designer has created a website for people to list their unwanted certificates that they may have requested/purchased in error. Hopefully through this site some unwanted/unloved certs can find a home with the correct rellie. Site is free to use. She has just set up the site and asked me to give it a trial run and all appears okay. However if anyone finds any probs then they can email her on the site to report the problems. I did find that a reply email from the site after I had registered went into my junk mail box, but I tend to have an overenthusiastic junk mail identifier! The website is www*certificate-exchange*co*uk - usual thing remove asterick and replace with dot. Hope some of you can get some use out of it. She will be getting sponsors and then she can promote it via other genealogical sites. Lyn

Evening, Just watched a video 'Failure to Launch' good Friday night movie :) With my voluntary teaching, once the staff have done their English lessons I can go home cause my 'boss' is overseas at the moment :) Yvette, your energy is amazing. maybe we should all go back to aqua arobics? I used to enjoy it. Will have to do something to get rid of Winter podge too. early-ish to bed tonight cause plank 12 and 13 are waiting for tomorrow. ~~~~~~~~~to all and nighty night. Vonny

i'm back. its all nice and quiet. everybody has gone out. the last of them, middle son with girl friend, 1/2 a netball team and his other friend have taken the beer and gone to the pub. Told them all not to come back. I wrote a letter to a wattler once explaining the complex nature of our names in this house. The only common name is my maiden name, i think it's a bit offputting for oh. his surname by the way is Moody, his middle name is the same as my surname. he is also a little shy and retiring - poor possum, cause the rest of us r not. The winter tyre is a good thing. (for me at least) that is what feeds and holidays me throughout the summer months. The dress don't fit, so the peeps come to see Yvette. works nicely. Its called 'make your vocation, your vacation' . A very good attitude towards your job. Serously, I have to maintain a pleasant disposition, and remember never to say' gee you put on the pork over winter, hey?' and I do work hard at what i do waffle waffle, saw my friend Alyson, she is checking her very busy social calendar for bookings in February. Out of curiosity i asked did she like martinis. She said she did so long as they were made properly. there you go... i kinda thought she must as she likes most other alcoholic beverages. love Yvette xx

Hi our waffling Wattlers.. Had a lovely day today.. did take 14 boxes back to removalist but got a whole whopping $7 for them..LOL didnt like to tell him I would have paid him to take them off my hands as I had nowhere to put them...The place is starting to look nice and when we get our new dining setting and loung we will look a lot better..At the moment we have the patio glass topped table in the dining area with some old dining chairs but even that looks not bad with a nice lace tablecloth over it ..Tomorrow must tackle the guest room as I have till monday to sort it out as that is when our visitors arrive. Been a lovely day and not cold at all..Beginning to improve cold wise and a Brandy and Dry helped a lot at happy hour..amazing how it clears the nasal passages..and every other passage it goes through...LOL Might have a early night so sleep tight and see ya in the morning.. Love Mary xxxxx

Hmmmm ... I thought you were commiserating over my lost chook soup Lara - not my messages lol but as I said Trifley - I dont care. .. The worst part of it though is the smell upstairs. .. I have had windows open too .. Ahhh well, it will eventually go! This was writ ages ago - some five telephone calls ago .. forgot all about it ... no wonder I lose my msgs and forget my chook soup :( ... getting a bit chilly here now at almost 7.30pm after a glorious spring day. Cheers Jood

Evening all - spent lovely day in Sydney, revisited the casino (twice in one week) attempted to use our $10 credit we were given last week, but couldn't work out how to get our pin number into the pokie machine, then didn't know how to play the darn thing, so hit a button that gave us back our money. We laughed so much, and have decided that once we both retire we will definitely not be pokie addicts!! Have arrived home exhausted - think it's easier going to work than a day in the city. However managed to get gifts for o/seas friends - and all australian made items! Plus got some new seasons clothes for my Qld break in Sept (OH can't see why I need any more clothes) Trifley - yes if b-i-law comes with us to Mudgee he'll definitely share the room, he is coming to Oz to celebrate his 50th birthday in March and decided he wanted to be here with us for some raucous fun! Yvette - saw your message on success board, that was really nice of you. Jood - re: burnt food - sounds familiar. Dtr let 6 eggs burn dry in the pan, they then exploded all over the kitchen, hitting the ceiling - wow it's amazing how far exploding eggs can travel. We had to repaint the ceiling. Mary - lucky you didn't lose your voice last week! I had that lurgy about a month ago, lost my voice completely (guys at work thought it was great!) and it hung around for about 2 wks. Tassie - congrats on the weight loss. You have done so well. Reading about Yvette's energetic days has got me wanting to start back at aqua aerobics and my daily walks. I'm hoping to drop my winter spare tyre by the time OH gets back from UK in late Oct! Plus trying on clothes today in front of those awful mirrors in shops is quite depressing. Shazz - No of course I don't pack his bags! You've met him and seen how laid back he is. He packs on the morning he is due to fly out. That was kind of Rob to ring him, he told me today that he had called. Will ring you during the week. Have a good weekend all - off to buy lots of taps tomorrow at bathroom sale! OH wants us to get there when it opens at 8, so another early day. Did anyone see the doco last night on SBS about the Housing estate at Airds? Sorry I've plonked more on this thread in 24 hrs than I normally put on in a week. Bye Lyn

Just a quick hello to everyone and I hope you are enjoying your day.. Janet xx

Big ~~~~~waves to a very tired Anna, Chris & Katherine. Talk to you tomorrow. Yvette... remaining energy.........martoonie....big choice but I think I'll take the energy. I can always have a martoonie another time. Like I told Graeme the other day...'I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!'. Perhaps your OH is just shy and retiring... not wanting his name put on the form. Does he have an interesting surname? I mean as far as FH goes? Love Trifley X

Hi guys I'm back and I'm pooped! Had a great time in Brisvegas. Caught up on all the posts but am now too pooped to add a long reply! Katherine is back from the mangroves and she is pooped too! Catch up tomorrow Love Anna

Hi thanks folks I have live in the UAE so hot is not a problem I was heaverly pregnant though their summer. We had been and looked at a few sites Melbourne and Sidney appear to be where the jobs are for him he is an account but was unsure which one to go for but will look at where you've said and go from there . Thanks again Laura

oh can be a George Orwell non person- when it suits him, (big breath, count to 10, snarl) He doesn't like any part of the census that includes his name. Said he will provide details no name. Thats why I rang the lady, she will send him another form, if he doesn't fill it out i hope he suffers the consequences for being pig headed. Thats what will happen too now he's made up his mind. I've just sent you remaining energy, does that mean you are going to work for me as well. Be nice to yourself!!!! love Yvette xxxxxxxxxxxxx PS martoonie doesnt work with remaining energy - its one or the other

Hi Yvette...is your OH going to be a George Orwell 'non-person'? Was it just the on-line that he didn't like? You sound sooo energetic....please send some my way...lol TX Too late for coffee.....martoonie time!

yo guys, a little sit down while i'm waiting for the coffee. had a weights class this morning, heartmoves aqua at lunch and aqua tonight. just fitted in shopping with Miles. neeeed caffeine desperately before putting the shopping away. No cadavers today, they are on Tuesday and Thursday. didn't venture into wollongong at all so I can actually think. I've enjoyed the social aspect of today immensely... someones fitted the fridge up with a case of beer and I could easily have one but that would be the end of the day for me - sad hey? , spring is sprung!!!!!! You can notice the longer daylight hours too. Don't know whats for tea and I don't care because finally - Friday also get this, after all the carry on about my census, I ende up with 2 forms both different numbers. filled it out on line, then oh says not to put him on it. had to go back and redo, then ph the census lady again to ask what else due to oh 's silliness love Yvette xxxxxxxxx coffees on

How-de-do-de Wattlers The Martoonie Chicken Casserole is on and smells wonderful. I'm keeping an eye on it so it doesn't end up like Joodles pressure cooked chook....pmsl. Sorry Joodles....but ya gotta laugh at these things. There are worse things to cry over. Lyn..which nights do you think you will be staying at the motel? If your BIL comes are you happy for the 3 of you to share a room? Welcome Raggy...glad it's not DVT. You can now enjoy the rest of your holiday. Hi Yvette....no cadavers today? Shaz...enjoy your weekend away. I'm doing ok but still get tired. Laurie...loved the 'Bad day' jokes. I'm having a good day, in fact every day is a good day for me! Devily....knew you'd loose that kg. You have done a great job to loose all that weight. SuzyQ...slow down! It's not spring yet! Union rules say no spring cleaning 'till winter's over...pmsl Vonny...you must be very efficient at your job if you get it all done early. That's a woman for you! Lara...if you stand on tippy toe can you wave to Tony & Barb from your beach? Do you get much Barramundi where you are? We had our honeymoon on Dunk Isl. and had Barra caught off Tully. Mary...enjoy a bit of a rest today. I know how tireing unpacking boxes can be. Has anyone heard how our miss Crewella is today? Healing hugs to all of you who are feeling poorly. Aaahh...4pm - coffee time. love Trifley X
