Morning everyone :-) Jude3 and Tony hope you enjoy your holidays. Hope all sickies get better :-) (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))) SuzyQ if your thinking of spring cleaning pls be careful. I did Alex's bedroom on Sunday, Jess's bedroom on Monday and spent 11 hours and 15 mins (yes I was clock watching pmsl) in hospital yesterday until they finally let me out lolol. Those nebulisers are a wonderful thing, all that fresh air and I dinny have to leave my bed hehe. Went to the doctors fully expecting an 'you've got a chest infection' and to be sent home with anti-biotics only to be told 'shall I phone for an ambulance or can you make your own way there' 'eh, what???' :-s. Had to make a quick couple of phone calls to make sure the kids had someone to look after them. So I got a ride in an ambulance to but no new naws. Got to hospital was booked in sent to GPassessment unit and was in bed with obs done, blood taken and oxygen mask on by 9:45. Saw doctor a couple of hours later, had ecg thingy. By now it was dinnertime, I had a sandwich, was funny lift mask up take bite put mask down while chewing and swallowing lolol. Had x-ray at 4:25 (told you I was clock watching lol) Then when I came back I dinny bother with the mask as my breathing was a lot better and it's kind of addictive lol. Had to was to see registrar then which I finally did at 8:30 then left unit at 8:45. The diagnosis was a wait for it................................ chest infection lol Have to go back today for antibiotics and inhaler as the pharmacy was closed by then. Not much more news except I can still go to Scotland yipppppeeeeeeeee :-)))))))))))))))))) ~~~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~~~ Catxxx

Hello to my favourite wafflers I've had a lovely but exhausting day today. As Graeme had today off we decided to go out to lunch. It was an ab-so-loot-lee bewdiful day here on the GC. The sun was shining in a bright, blue sky and there was a gentle, cool breeze. The only thing to marr the day was the hoardes of uncontrolled kids roaming around Robina. Today was Ekka Day for school kids sooo...why weren't they there instead of racing through the shops? Anyway....we had a nice day inspite of the little darlings. Healing hugs to Gwenda, Mary, Cat person, Crew and Joodles. I hope you all feel better soon. Crew...why is Terry skiing nude? He'll need a merkin...pmsl. Yaaayyy Vonny...going to Mudgee!!!!

Devily....sons and driving lessons....been there, done that, had the nervous breakdown...lol Jude3...isn't it wonderful when the offspring want to move? Mark ALWAYS seemed to pick places where we had to lug stuff up flights of stairs. Tony...we went to a play which was called 'Hotel Sorento'. It was set in Sorento, Victoria. I believe it was based on a hotel in that area. I like the Mudgee song...you are a clever little bloke aren't you? It's dinner time so I'll be off.....crumbed lamb cutlets...yuuummm Toodle Love Trifley X

Afternoon Wattlers. Absolutely glorious day in Mulbin, with winds blowing up from the South. Spent the morning working down at Sorento, along the Mornington Peninsular.So had lunch in the car at a favourite spot, and watched the waves rolling in. My G,G, Aunt was born here in 1854 and they named her Amelia mornington Barnes. My Barnes family ( Mums side ) came from Liverpool/Manchester ( Builders ) to here in Victoria in 1853. Amelia mornington was the 1st to be born on Ozzie soil after they arrived. Her other 5 siblings were all born in Liverpool. While eating my lunch i was thinking, i wonder if they gave her the mornington name, because this is where she was born?? Thanks to all you Queenslanders for letting me come up without a pass port...lol Yes, only a cuppla sleeps to Hayman Island, and arrive at Hamilton at 10:30 am Friday morn, then a 50 min boat trip across to Hayman. Barbs competition win consisted of 4 x people flight to Hamilton Island from anywhere in Oz plus all transfer fees,( to and from the Island ) 2 x Deluxe superior suite's,Meals included Breakfast, Dinner, and Tea x 4 people for 6 days, Full use of non-motorised water crafts,Full use of Activity centre ( Gym ) Various guided resort tours and Cinema screenings and 4 x 90 min Massages. I gave my massage to Barb, so she is going to use it to have a therapeutic mud Facial???? ( hope that sounds right....lol ) Perhaps i should have a facial meself, but looked in the mirror and thought....Naaahh.. i dont need it......:>))))))) Il'e be happy just to sit at the bar at happy hour, and sip on a few Tequila sunrises, or Freddy Fudpuckers. ( checks spelling )...lol Might even have a Fluffy Duck, me thinks.......Don't mind a cocktail or two or three. I will of course upgrade from a V.B mind you, to a Pilsner or Crown lager,just to show i can be posh.(holds little finger in air ) O'k.... enough of my cra.......er'm i mean Waffle. Sounds like everyone is crook,so best wishes to all sickies. To all who are travelling, safe trip. Its time for V.B tablet,,,,,,,coz Av a good un Tony Oz...:>)))

Hi everyone Well not only the phone died but the internet did also..we have spent a fortune on mobile calls but Telstra say they will be out to fix it either today or tomorrow.. Out of the blue the internet came back on so that is one good thing..still no phone.. I think last saturday must have been National Bug Day.. and a lot of us caught it..I have gone back on to my vitamin C and hope it gets better soon as I have so much to do..I will have to do 2 trips to the removalists tomorrow to take back all the boxes, but it is so nice to see a cleared dining room.The place is starting to look a lot better already.. Jood Glad you went to see the doc. and hope you are feeling a lot better..I am sure we didnt get our colds from you as you were quite well when we met.. It was just our turn to get one and I am sure we will all be fine in a few days.. Sorry ,, brain not working to well so love to all and back later..(if the internet dosent suddenly cut out again) Love Mary xxxx

Jude2 - I hope Terry didn't ski nude - but some guys take their shirts off as it gets too hot - I know - the one and only time I went, they were shedding their tops, (not the women of course) .. pmsl Thanks Tassie Sue for reassuring me it wasnt my fault they all got colds. .. Changeable weather doesnt help. Brrr .. getting cool inside here now, been a lovely day outside. Get well wishes to all including Cat in the UK. Love Jood

Judy DIY How can you not get excited with all those red blooded revheads about. Oh well at first I was disappointed, then you mentioned No Lowndes, so I was ok then. Anyway I did get a nice surprise when we was on way to pick up other dd, a text to say that Lowndes won the points overall on the day and is now the leader of the series YES!!!!!! Anyway, I will get to meet them all and get signatures in November when they are here, but then again already got signatures, so I might just go for a ....... ....P ........... . look pmsl. Now you should have been nice and took some photos of Ken and the drivers, oh thats right you left camera at home with photo id etc :-) Cheers Sue

Good Afternoon Wattlers long distance hugs for all the sickies. Got your messages Jude 2, Anna and Trifley look out for the postie. Sue you will be kicking yourself you didn't leave Sydney later - we got to the airport and the V8 crews from the car racing at Eastern Creek, were all there waiting to fly home. Ken indulged in a bit of celebrity spotting you and he would have had a ball - I apparently didn't show enough enthusiasm for who I was seeing - pmsl. No Lowndes, but Greg Murphy, Jason Bargwanna (?), John Bowe ( ok I own up - had to dash out and ask Ken who were those guys again? ) can't remember who else. Had one of the crews on our flight (but don't know which team they were with). After walking around Sydney for hours didn't feel much like getting excited over pit crews lol. Finally fell into bed at 12.00 midnight and up again at 7.30 to move David back home. We filled a 3 ton van with all his stuff and thank goodness for storage space at the workshop! Mind you if we knew he had collected so much c**p I would have got him to hire a storage lock up. We moved him from a 2 storey apartment - some stuff to to a 2 storey house, and the stuff at the workshop went - have you guessed - up stairs! Boy have my leg muscles had a workout the last 3 days - my bum better look smaller! lol A big thank you to all who have sent me piccies from Sydney -have put them in my Wattlers folder.( I forgot my camera, my ID and the book in bar code for Virgin on Saturday - talk about a craft day) Flat chat today and tomorrow at work, then off to Mandurah on Friday- may not get back on here until the 30th, depends whether I can find an internet cafe - lol. ~~~~ & hugs to everyone, jude 3

Afternoon all Sounds like a few have came down with the dreaded cold, Jood dont worry cause I dont think you passed it to anyone, cause if you did, I think I would definately have it as I probably got closer to you than anyone else did, and I'm fine :-) But then again I did have my flu jab. Yesterday I dont think I came on as my dear Son decided to muck up my day, so to speak. He sent me a text to see if I could go oout and take him for a driving lesson, I said I could shortly. So he told me to text when I was on the way, so I got a daytripper on the bus and when I got to town, I text him, and he came back and told me Sorry cant something came up Grrrrrrrr. So I decided to go to my friends instead. Anyway last night he was on the phone to Tamika and asked her to ask me if I could take him driving and I just replied I got no money. So this morning he sent another text asking me if I could and he would give me $10.00, So I did, anyway while we was out driving I got him to come to my place and we unbolted the trampoline, that the girls dont use anymore, and he can have it at his place for his gf's children. So that is one thing out of the way fro when we move. Ok not much else has happened, need to have shower and do a couple of things before girls get home from school. Cheers Sue
