Evening All, Jood - sorry too that you can't make it tomorrow but you've got to look after yourself first and foremost. Trifley - sorry you're not feeling 100% - you can whinge to us any time you want - a good whinge amongst friends is acceptable. Tassie - hope you have a great flight to the mainland - not long now to meeting you. Hope you're not tooooo excited that you can't get to sleep ..... Wilson - glad you had a good holiday - we look forward to hearing more. Vonny - see you around 7 am Raggy Bear - hope you have a smooth and uneventful flight to WA To the Wattlers not in Sydney - have a great day tomorrow - not too much talking on here or we'll never catch up and to those meeting - see you at the Casino. Gwenda

Evening Wattlers Jood that is no good, I was looking forward to seeing you, but I can understand, and your health is the most important thing at the moment, there will be other times I'm sure. You just stay in bed and get well, we will have lots of pickies for you. Well if I aint ready now I never will be, bags packed, clothes out ready to put on after my shower in the early morning. All h*****k here has been done, So roll on 14 hours when I touch down in sydney :-) Sandra I could wave as I'm going over the Gong, but I wouldnt know what town is what, is there a way of knowing, people might think I'm queer if I start waving as soon as we are over the mainland and dont stop to we land pmsl. Yvette what colour hair should I look for lol? Cheers Sue

Dont panic peeps - I think Lyn & I have sorted this matter out!!! Jood

Good evening everyone, Have just caught up on todays posts and see that poor Jood is too sick to battle her way into the Sydney Meet tomorrow. OH and I are still going but have a prob that as the only 3 people I know by sight won't be at Central (Shazz, Rob and the 2 from Canberra are coming later, Jood is sick and Laurie and Ray are going direct to the Casino) hence we don't have a clue who we are looking for at Central??? Anyone got any ideas??? Lyn

Morning all!! Or should I say good evening to all you Ausies on here at the moment? Nearly time for your meet...go on then, rub it in, have another meet without me!! I don't care, see if I sulk, will find something to do... go on then!!!..lol Have a brilliant time my friends, loads of wine and plenty of fun... Love to all, Anne xxx

Jude (oops I've forgotten which one :( sorry) The boat is a 16foot clinker built Chapman launch with a two cylinder Blaxland engine. He has already finished restoring the engine. Off to get tea. back much later. ~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Ive been trying to ring Shazz with no luck - didnt have your phone number Sandra, wasn't sure if you would come on line before tomorrow. You are meeting at 11.00am outside the barrier of the country stations like we did last time, tho I understand some will be having coffee as they get in earlier. Those meeting at Central will be Sandra, Yvette, Mary, Lyn and her OH. .. Do look out for each other, everyone knows everyone except Yvette and Gwenda, some haven't met Lyn. *LATE NEWS* Shazz & Rob will be waiting for Gwenda & Vonny to arrive from Canberra before they catch their train, so will go straight to the casino. I understand Jude & Ken, Tassie, Laurie & Ray will be going direct to Casino - whoever gets there first, to grab a big table for 15. Good luck and have fun. Jood

hi sandra, am off out to work too, but yes, 4th carriage, upstairs. I'm getting on at either dunmore or oakflats so will get a seat. see you then or ph me early if you like love Yvette x

Early Evening Wattlers, Joodles so sorry you are not feeling well enough to get to Sydney on Sat but more important to get yourself well,don't won't any relapses. I have got the dreaded cold, but hoping it won;'t get any worse than it is now. Where are people meeting?? at the casino I presume?? was to meet Joodles at Central but perhaps someone can put a note on here???? Shall look forward to seeing everyone again and also those I haven't met yet. Tassie you will probobly fly over the Gong so I will just give you a wave as you go by, although I could be on the train then???? Yvette. see you on the train in the morning, still 4th carriage??? it's the Kiama train so may be full? ok am off out for dinner at the club will have a look in later as we don't get back to late. Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Jill, thinking of you and your grandson. Something's obviously badly wrong there. Just love him. That's what grandma's do best and sometimes it's the only thing that's left to hold onto when a kid's world goes all wrong. ((((HUGS)))) to you too. Vonny

Awww Jood, we don't want you sick - you've only just got better. Definitely stay in bed where it is warm. Hope it's not a relapse :( Look after yourself and sending ((((HUGS)))) Love, Vonny

Jood just read your message, please take of yourself, I think I can speak for everyone when I say we are all worrying about you now. luv Jillx

Aaawww...poor Joodles. Sorry to hear that you can't go to Sydney, you'll have to read about it in the Sunday papers....like the rest of us. Rug up, take plenty of fluids and get lots of rest. ~~~~~~~waves to everyone love Trifley X

Hi all, anyone would think it was christmas eve, now don't get too excited, oh what the hell get as excited as you want, I know when I went to the mini GC meet I felt like bursting into tears I was so happy to meet everyone there, have lots of fun and take loads of pickles. Hi to RB if you look in before you set off have a safe flight I hope things calm down a bit for you and your family, wait to hear from you. Bad news with g.son still playing up badly, they are getting some behavoural (sp) experts in next week. He was so bad today it's upset me dreadfully. sorry to dump but it helps to share. Can someone pass on to Mary and John my best wishes and I hope that their move was successful, thanks. luv Jill, ps I only read this last page, will catch up with the rest of the news later.

You poor honey, youngest male child has been home all week and quite a few of my clients have been 'off' too. Really sad you won't be coming but if you push it, you'll end up more sick. love and ((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) from Yvette x

Hi all, Well I have come to the conclusion that I won't be meeting you all tomorrow. .. Whilst I made a very slight improvement this morning, I am still wanting to dive back into bed and have naps all day. .. Quite frankly I don’t have the energy to make the long trip. Sad I wont meet you Tassie, sad I wont see you others too, but maybe one day some of us can have a day out at the casino as I really love the food there. Please all have a wonderful day, and take plenty of pickles. .. I’ll be looking forward to hearing about it. Give Mary my love, and tell her we will meet for lunch again soon. Only a miracle could get me to the casino now ! Love Jood

just looked in the mirror, beauty sleep didn't work. Have been out all day, still got the work clobber on. One more effort tonight then thats it! well until monday. I'm starting to think ';what to wear?' golly I hate that. I know to take a jacket for on the way home, I know wear comfy shoes. need to fill in the bits between. Might make my hair a pretty colour so I'm really easy for you to spot, Sue. love Yvette x

Tony coooeeeeee Just quickly, is barb doing a Friskies paw print thingy??? cause I have a pawprint if she wants it :) or anyone else cause you need two and I'm not buying that brand again before it runs out. So if anyone wants it????? come on all cat lovers. maybe I'll auction it :) Sorry, at work back at lunch time :) *tomorrow, tomorrow............* Vonny

Nite Julie..:>)) Yea'h ya right Laurie. I'm the biggest kid on the block mate...hee hee.......... Who wants to grow old anyway.....it only kills you in the end. Av a good un everyone. Tony Oz...;>))) * back to the grindstone* 7 sleeps to He'y man island.

Jude, Laurie! Glad you two have a few brains between you! I may have had the wrong show for 'Tomorrow', and the words wrong - but at least I put you both on the right track!!!! Exits singing ...... tomorrow, tomorrow, it's only a day away......:>))) (Eeeerrrrr! I think that is still wrong but I like my version!) Naughty puss cat! :>( Cheers Anna
