General Chat

Good morning Wattlers, I've been enjoying my little sleep-ins - well after waking at 2.30, 3.30 etc. to blow nose needed a bit more beauty sleep. Sore throat has gone and now the nose is on the run so full blown cold now. Trifley - put Dave and me down for Mudgee and hotel room please Laurie - sorry you're not up to par - have heard shingles are a pain - bad enough when they hit but to have pain long after isn't very good either. Tony - have a great hol - enjoy the warmth Jude DIY - hope you have a great time too - hope you've got the right booking details and some ID this time - lol Vonny - guess your winnings from the Casino went towards the Lotto ticket - might be on a roll then Cat - hope you're feeling better for your meet - you might be remembered for passing on your lurgy instead of your bubbly personality - does this mean we might stand a chance of getting a big number ourselves????? Anna - hope you have a triffic time at BrisVegas - bet Katherine wishes she was going with you - sounds far more fun than mangroves - lol Better get a move on - still have to have brekky & shower - then finish off cuz's letter and take a walk to PO - bit of fresh air and sunshine might do me the world of good Catch up later ~~~~~~~~~~~waving to everyone else~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gwenda

oops took sooo long to type last message Anna rescued us. Have a wonderful time in Brissie Anna ~~~~~~~~~~

Good Morning Jood rescued us from page 8 and I have just rescued us from page 3. We have rain in Melbourne - yeah. Just so long as it stays around for a few days. Had to come into work early this morning have soo much work on. The price we pay for taking a week off is usually working flat chat before and after the trip. We both usually get on the plane look at one another and say is it all worth it? lol. At least we are leaving at a reasonable hour 12.30pm - I didn't like seeing the world at 5.00am.last Saturday morning! You might have guessed by now I don't like mornings. Will try and pop back later Tony and Barb have a wonderful time on Hayman ,Ken says the only water sport you should do is to bob across the pool to the bar to get another VB - lol. luv jude 3

Hi Wattlelottos...:>)) Vonny bought the Lotto ticket for this week, but the chap gave her a super 7s Oz lotto ( which she paid a fortune for )...ouch The Super 7s gives us 7 numbers across the line instead of our usual 6....... Its still 36 lines downwards, but we have one extra number across the ticket, which gives us a better chance ( hopefully )....lol The super7s is a Tuesday night draw. So will be drawn on Tuesday 22nd of August. I was going to buy an extra ticket tomorrow for this Saturday night, but just realised i may not get on line tomorrow so decided to leave as is. Tony Oz..:>)))

Back again . . . Just wanted to let you know I will be out at the NSW Archives on Friday morning if anyone wants anything looked up. www*records*nsw*gov*au/archives/keyname_search_2187*asp If you want to go in there and do a search on your family name - if there any results in wills, convicts, immigration or anything else let me know and I will see if I can get copies for you. cheers luv Laurie

Yes Trifley, add John and myself to the Mudgee motel list for the Friday and Sat night. What fun - lets book out an entire motel. I have agreed to go to a Antique Boat Regatta near Newcastle in October so he will come to Mudgee :) What I do for Wattlers lol Sorry for the mix up with the lotto ticket (you'll find out) LARA - I needed you pmsl. Dinner went well - nice to catch up with eldest son and dil. They have started as registered nurses this week at a private hospital here in Canberra. Today was their first day on the wards.

Good evening Wafflers, Thought I had better get online and let you know I am still in the land of the living - (~~~~~~~ Joodles~~~~ Everyone else ~~~~~) I got pricked the other day, but reserve judgement as to results - massage doesn't help as it isn't muscular pain. Its an odd one to describe. Its one of those things that keeps coming back to haunt you. Bleedin shingles !!! Tony, love the little ditties, you are on a high for hol mode by the sound of it - good on you, hope you, Barb, DD and Gran have a lovely time - wont be hard to enjoy yourself up there. Anna, you and Chris have a great few days in the big smoke too - what is it ??? Brisvegas revisited ??? Julie cat, your medical system sounds awully like ours . . . . hope your feeling better, and you enjoy your trip to Scotland, just be carefull of those girls up there - you may never be the same again !!! Sound like your getting there Mary, in a few weeks you will feel like you have been there forever. Hope John feels better soon. Big hello to everyone else, I'm off to bed so will catch you again tomorrow cheers luv Laurie

Of course your welcolm to join mate, as is anyone else. Tony Oz...:>)))

Good Evening fellow Wattlers, Had a quick read back through the pages and yes Jood, OH and I will definitely be going to Mudgee. Haven't been there for a few years (last century I do believe!!) but absolutely loved it last time we were there. Trifley - Remember ages ago I asked about joining the Lotto club and you guys said I had to have 10 pieces of ID, security check and so forth. Then I didn't hear any more and presume I may have failed the security citizen test as I am not yet a fully fledged aussie wattler (after 36 yrs here) - um ah. Perhaps I should slip in that I do possess a lucky streak and have won several things over the years including a holiday, vouchers, clothes, movie tickets, kitchen items and so on - although my largest Lotto win at this stage has only been $550. Anyway please let me know what other docos I need to present to be considered!! Thanks ladies for the photos of Saturday's meet. What happened to the photos of Shazz? - as she was very busy using everyone elses camera to take photos of - herself - I might add!! It was so nice to meet up with everyone, just a shame that they wouldn't allow us to push ALL the tables together - never mind I think just switching tables as we did sent the wait staff into a mini frenzy. Mary - have you managed to get your phone fixed yet? How can you use the internet, yet not have a phone line, when Telstra cut me off (accidentally, whilst in the pit out the front) we lost every connection!! Hope you are feeling better - seems a few people have come down with the lurgy over this past week. That would be great if your OH can come to Mudgee too. Hi to Vonnie, Tassie, Laurie, Yvette, Sandra, Shazz and anyone else I have forgotten. Anna - have just read your piece about the lost luggage in Heathrow, very encouraging as OH leaves here on Sunday for 2 mths in UK....... Lyn

Evening Wattlers What a sorry little bunch of Wattlers you all are. You all need a hip flask of Southern Comfort. A good swig on the hour every hour and you'll kill any bug around. I have had to take over the Wattlers Medical Advisory Service from Dr. Lewella as she is indisposed herself. You know the old saying 'Physician, heal thyself.' I am off to Brisbane tomorrow with OH - Katherine is away on a school biology camp (gone to Coolum looking at mangroves - you have no idea how unimpressed she is!) So, while the cat's away the mice will play. I'm actually taking Chris to see Menopause - I know he will just love it! Staying overnight and will be back on Friday pm. I'm also taking him to the casino for lunch so he can see what he missed out on when the Wattlers hit Brisvegas! Tony - won't be speaking to you again before you leave for Hayman. Have a great time - the weather is just fantastic at the moment. By the way - did you hear they've lost 10,000 pieces of luggage in London since the airport security clamp down! Oh boy - aren't you glad you're only flying domestic! Thanks Jude - will be watching the mail. Much appreciated. I am asolutely in awe of anyone who can hold a needle! Will catch up with everyone on Friday evening. Love Anna

Hi Wattlers... 3 glasses of wine and I feel like I have had 5 of Trifleys Martoonies...Good job not going on holidays with Tony,, would send him broke the first day...LOL I hope to bring OH to the Mudgee meet but a lot depends on his MRI and the results.. If anyone is booking get me a double room and if OH dosent come I still will and enjoy the luxurey of a room to myself.. Keep me in mind when making enquiriers.. Cat glad you are on the mend with the correct medication..Dont worry about Lew Lews magic pills,, she is to busy enjoying herself down in Bright.. Well I am off to bed and hope I am better in the morning.. Love Maryxxxxxxx
