General Chat

Hi Wilson I think that Cilla lives in mackay, some one will have her email I am sure. try Mary, I think she has a few. How long will you be in the Brisbane Area, there are a few of us on the Gold Coast, some Redcliffe, Ipswich and Toowoomba Oh and little fluffy duck in Bribie Island. Congratulations Mary on the prize, but don't let Tony's Barb know about it, she may try and get it from you. Did you see the lady who open the door to the Clarenden Home this mornng. It was for her daughter who couldn't be there because her baby was 8 days overdue. Well for those who didn't see it, following the win, her waters broke and she went into labour. This is just a quick trip through to take a break from doing some searching for OH. I needed a bit of a lift. Hope everyone has recovered from the Sydvegas meet. Vonny, I hope Tia has recovered from her trip away from home. I hope she has been desexed LOL Bye for now SuzyQ

Afternoon Wattlers Well it is definate, i have booked a flight to Makayfor Wednesday, this time i hope to be able to keep up with you guys while i am away. My sister has a puter, and i won't have OH waiting over my shoulder. Not that he had a problem, but he was always just waiting and i didn't like to take ages. I hope to get to brisbane on the way home and catch up with my best friend who moved there last year. I have missed her so much, we used to meet every week at least for coffee and a chat, I have known her since we were babies. So really looking forward to seeing her. If it sounds like i am going to be near where any of you are, let me know, maybe we could have a mini meet lol. OK back to getting organised. Wilson

Forgot to congratulate you this morning Mary on your prize and for on getting online so quickly :) Yvette, Shazz went white then green in the train when she realized that they was real 'bits'. She was real quiet for a while :) Hi Wilson, don't think I welcomed you back. :) Got to put the washing out, I forgot that this morning also, ~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Afternoon All Well after I had the best time in Sydney for the weekend, I got up this morning and I had a real fright ........ I stood on the scales and I weighted a bit over a kilo heavier than I did on Saturday morning before I left. Oh No how did that happen ???????? pmsl. Anyway I have aclimatized back to our rainy 13 degree temperature today, done 2 loads of washing and hung them under the verandah, rode my exercise bike and drank heaps of water to try and get wight back down, apart from that I have done not much apart from trying to keep awake, I was thinking on having a lie down, but probably wont sleep tonight if I do, so I am amusing myself on here til the girls come home. Hey just a thought do you thinmk my sudden increase in weight would have anything to do with bacon and eggs for 2 breakfasts, and all the food and sweets I could possibly eat for lunch at casino????? P.S. dont take any notice that I have changed my name at top of page, I sent away a message for a hot match and forgot to change my name back, Oh well at least you should all know who I am. lol Cheers Sue

Quick poke the head in just outa habit now. Off to do the pool stuff now, then in with the 'bits', shoulder function today. I think i would rather weed the front garden because it needs it. It would be nice to stay at home for the day. Catch you later love yvette xxx

Morning everyone, thank you for all the pictures that came through this morning and what a beautiful morning it is spring is certainly in the air, almost makes me feel like spring cleaning, almost I said, lol, I think I may go to my local FHC and do something much more interesting, I wonder if RB will get a chance to pop in, she should definatly be in WA by now Joods, Lucas is a beautiful looking little boy, in the photo he looks to be very interested in whoever was taking the photo, was it his mum. see you all later luv Jillx ps Joods whats (amobf ) or something like that, perhaps I should'nt ask.lol

grfrrrrrrrrrrrr .. wotta way to start a Monday morning ............... a tissue wash. (AMOBF) Jood (AMOBF All my own b****** fault)

Morning All. A lovely day here but another busy one..Odds and ends to do with Solicitor and Bank and shopping and emptying boxes but it is soon comming to an end and life will get back to normal. Better go and have a shower so back later.. Love Mary xxx

Thanks Vonny and Laurie for the info about the meet - I am now enlightened! And thanks Jood for eating that plate of prawns for me. Much appreciated. XX Anna

Awww poor Yvette, I was still around last night, but didnt add any more to the thread as I'd already talked my head off earlier. I was also up at 6.00am this morning and no sign of a Wattler, so I thought I'd wait till someone else messaged. .. Geez, some 2-3 hours later, they are emerging!!!! Its looking a brilliant day outside, but still quite cold in the house. .. My fingers are like ice. I've sent a few pics along but I'm bit disappointed with mine - I should have taken a pic of each person separately. Lew, I have a query - will Wattie need a passport for the South Pole - if so, you better start working on it. . I just hope he gets some warm clothes to wear down there - I mean he's a Wattle Bear, not a Polar Bear. Yvette, I hope you do get to Mudgee - it willl be sooo much fun. You'll get to meet some of the Qld mob - or should I say Aristocracy (in other words the trararara mob). I hope Lara brings my own pink Bendigdo trararara with her. Ahhhhhhhh well, no use daydreaming, gotta go do some w***k. Love Jood

Good morning Wattlers, What a lovely day on Botany Bay! All shite and briny, sun bathed and beautiful. There are 5 giraffes reaching their long necks up into the blue sky, a block of flats is headed out of the bay guided by the pilot boats. I am under no illusions that our export trade is up - so guessing lots of those are empty - plus for the height of the load the ship is sitting up in the water. There are lots of little fishing vessels out near the heads so the fish must be around out there, and there are 5 large planes sitting waiting to take off. Hope you had a lovely day yesterday Jude & Ken, and a good flight home. Guess your not real interested in heading off to work this morning. TLR left early to go up to Maitland for a presentation, at least he is going against the flow of the traffic, so shouldn't be too bad. Glad you got home safe and sound Sue, I imagine your girls and David were full of questions - what a lovely birthday pressie they gave you. No Anna, we didn't have any awards presentations at Sydvegas . . . there were discussions !!!! but everyone was awarded the pleasure of being in such good company. Jude DIY presented all present with a 'key ring quilt' - a lovely idea, made with wattle material, and each one lovingly embroidered by the master herself. Gwenda's Dave brought back Hersheys sweets called Kisses & Hugs which were circulated and the lovely Lew provided flakes for one and all so that Jude Flakey was represented. . . . and of course little devil from Tassie presented us all with the 'true map' of Australia !!! I think was the award of the Apple Isle !!! The sneaky Trifley sent our Wattley to Tassie - so he could keep Sue company on the trip to the mainland - wasn't that a lovely idea. He is certainly a well travelled little fellow - and of course now he is down in Bright. Morning Yvette - you were late & early weren't you . . . we're all a little slow off the mark this morning - well on the puter anyway, I have already done the h/@#%$k - so much to do (teeeheee) Well I need a cuppa, and another load of washing needs to go in so will be back later cheers all luv Laurie

Morning all, slept like a top :) Lovely day - Spring has definitely sprung. The apricot and nectarine are budding. Out this morning so catch you this arvo. Thanks so much for the pickles everyone - showed all the photos to John to allay any fears he might have had! LOL ~~~~~~~~~~Vonny PS Anna, as to awards - I definitely suggest we inaugurate the wooden spoon award for the greatest stirrer. And this time it's got to be a tie between Laurie (Miss butter wouldn't melt) and Lew Lew (Miss I always behave myself) :) pmsl Vonny

Morning all Everyone having a slow start today I see! Thanks guys for the great pickles - poor little Wattie must be still recovering. Can somebody tell me how Wattie got from Trifley to Tassy to Sydney??? He's a well travelled little fellow! And no one has said if there were any awards presented at the casino! Come on girls - for us poor souls who couldn't get to Sydney - we want all the gossip! Catch you all later Love Anna

can't believe it, last to bed, 1st to add. W/A? have a great day!!!! P9 love Yvette xxx

Good evening all, I'm trying to get it together to be in bed at 9.30, not going real well at it. Went for a walk with oh and the dog this morning. oh admitted to not feeling the best intermitantly of late. He has late nights with the band, and also works hard massaging and teaching but said feels woosy every now and then. Took his blood pressure. ooo bit high, so i've been nice to him today, because it was a bit of a shock. packing him off to the doctor asap. I was totally shattered and really happy after yesterday. It was a fabulous day. After Sandra got off the train, I had to try hard not to fall asleep or I would have missed my stop. Don't know how the drivers managed. I was a bit shy but you guys are so welcoming and lovely - the blokes too. I think I will have to stick the Mudgee dates in my diary and try hard for that weekend, just to meet some more . Glad your puss came home Vonny, I would have been besides myself if it was Bloss or one of the boys(doggies not kids) The photos have been saved to hard drive, I have a proper 'Wattlers folder' now. it does look as if i'm just about to undress, hey? The youngest child loved the Tassie card and I have my wattlers 'quilt' on my keyring. thankyou sooo much. Wondering, did that little bear have a hangover this morning? and did he eat his hugs and kisses that were in the bag? Don't know about AA for him, I think we need WA for us. Had a sleep this arvo and watched Dr Who, courtesy of lovely child who taped it for me. Finished off Adrian's amplifier cover and stuck myself with more pins. phew. I think I've missed 9.30 bed time. Theres a bit more washing to hang out, shower and I'm there. Looking forward to another week of madness. Love to everybody from Yvette xxxxxxxx Thanks for the photos and have loved reading the 'bits' tonight, nite xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Afternoon all :-) I'm still around, hope to catch up with you all soon :-)
