morning all, less than 24hours left to go. love Yvette

Yessssssss it`s Me, Just got a call from the company we have booked after waiting hours and being on tender hooks..........we have to book in at the airport at the time told us, there might be a bit of a delay~that was the message so fingers tightly crossed. Speak tomorrow. R.B.

Hello all I know its very late and you've all probably gone to bed ' but cant sleep and cant stand listening to two chainsaws going NOT in unison . Trifley I havn't ever had acupuncture as I hate needles but I have fibromyalgia syndrome and it's giving me merry hell so if it works for your arm might give it a go myself if I can pluck up the courage. When they put you under they don't care sometimes how they handle you as it felt like I had a broken shoulder after having my gall bladder removed and when I asked the sister she said I was like alunatic when they bought me back and kept trying to jump of the trolley so they had to grab me a couple times quite roughly or I would have fallen so maybe your arm was the same you may have been trying to uppercut someone Trifley Its really bad news at Heathrow I reckon they should put all the b's on a plane with their explosives and by remote fly them to the middle of the sea and blow the lot of them off the face of the earth.thank the Lord they were discovered as it was liqued explosives they going to use apparently and they may never have been detected at the airport if they hadn't discovered the plan. Lets hope they find the rest of them before they can get away . Ok Lew How's Bright bet it's cold down there my friend from down the the Goldcoast way is in Wangaratta and she says it very cold so I can imagine Bright would be freezing but it is a lovely place isnt it? Devily bet you are getting excited have a lovely time and say hello to all from booohhooo Trifley forgot I got a hand bag half price a little dainty black leather just fit phone purse and lippy in and a very classy looking hand bag with three colours in leather for moi and a xmas present for daughter who is handbag maniac was tempted to get other daughter one too but she's very fussy and it wouldnt be the right one if I picked it so will give her the money instead . am starting to get tired so better go to bed while tjhe sleep cycle is there or it might go again love to all Lara

hello Wafflers I tried to get on this afternoon but as you are all aware...the bl***y GR site was playing up a treat. never mind....I'm here now! i had the acupuncture this morning. He putin 7 needles then left me to rest. REST? With 7 pieces of steele sticking in me? I don't think so! I wasn't game to move but wasn't relaxed enough to sleep. A couple of them stung when they went in but that went away after a while. I couldn't say it hurt but as I was laying on my front my sinuses filled up so I couldn't breath. Altogether not the most relaxing time. However.....it seems to have some benefit. The shoulder and scapular are a lot looser and there is a teeny weeny bit of improvement in the arm. He is sending me off to have a Bowen massage next week and then back for more acupuncture the week after. Anything to get rid of this sore arm. Now that I've had my whinge..... Hi Joodles...how is the cold? You've got to be good for Saturday so you can keep these peeps in line. Yvette...Glad to see you got your census form. I'd hate to have one of the Wattlers missed on the count. Healing thoughts for your sick son. 32 weeks to graduation....we'll have to have a meet to celebrate! Rebs...ok...no mail 'till you give the ok. Lots of hugs to keep you going. Cat person....did you like the Greek name site? PMSL...pity he wasn't black. Shazz..a lovely poem. Where did you find it? Vonny...are you going down the Murray in the 'Cormorant'? It looks a little small to be spending any length of time in. I've ounced the photo on to david (nephew). He's interested in your progress. Hi Gwenda....a bit chilly down there. Don't worry, it wont be long before we are complaining of the heat. Tony...loved the joke. How is your daughter after her visit to the dentist? Lara...ooo...handbags! What sort? How many did you get? I like to change my hand bags over now & then. The amount of junk I carry around, mine are like small suit cases. Laurie...you getting all poetic too. Or at least your sister is. It was lovely. How is TLR? Has he de-stressed yet? Don't worry. By the time he has a couple of drinks on saturday he'll be fine. Hz..aaahh..the joys of having a teenager in the house. I wouldn't worry about what she wants to do with her life yet. She has plenty of time. At least she is staying at school. Please pass on my congratulations for her eisteddfod success. Hi Wilson...welcome home. Nice to hear from you again. Crew..yooo hooo...(Trifley stands on tippy toe to wave) can you see me from all that way? What happens with Jack and Mu when you & Terry go away? Do you get a sitter? How did the vine prunning go? You said 400 cuttings....good grief. Do you have to plant all of them? Devily....are you packed yet? Don't forget anything..tooth brush, shampoo, berocca....lol Bed time...I'm off for a good nights sleep. See you all in the morning. love Trifley X

Yvette, I wish!!! Well that was fun :) Lots of lovely waffle that I've also kept for next time :) Was going to bed but hubby is still working on the boat so had a reprieve. Words here I come :) 2 more sleeps: Vonny

Yvonne, i don't mind at all, silly duffer. you shouldn't have told me 'cause I had to have a squiz. + Going to try the beauty sleep tonight, can anybody tell me if it's effective? will it happen over night? will it happen? + goodnight love Yvette x

Mary sends her love to everyone, and especailly Trifley -such good news. She sounded tired but happy and missing everyone, even NO patience. best news she says though is NO stairs. The people are friendly and welcoming, and tomorrow she may even find time to have a swim in the pool lol She will definately be at the meet, wild horse would not keep her away!!! JA

Yvette, just 'borrowed' the Owl and the Pussy Cat for another thread. Hope you don't mind :) Vonny

Another email from GR Thanks for reporting this problem. The site has been experiencing exceptional levels of traffic over the last few days which is why you would have received this message. Our technical team is currently investigating and we hope to have the problem rectified as soon as possible. Suffice to say, this is usually just a temporary problem and should work OK if you try again. (It is ok as you probably have noticed} Jood

Tony thanks - I realise its for the best - not much else they can do. .. Wouldn't the US be getting in a tizz tho !! Those baddies are getting smarter by the day. Jood

Thanks Anne - Raggy Bear was due to fly from UK to West Oz very soon (not sure of the exact date). I suppose its for the best. But this - 'BA has also placed restrictions on hand-luggage items -- banning handbags, contact-lens solutions and cases for eye glasses'. ... is a bit rough - not even a book. Jood

Hiya Joodle. Well, apparently theres been a foiled plot by Terrorist to blow up planes heading from Heathrow to U.S.A The police have succeeded in capturing some of these blokes, but they feel they have not got them all yet, so Heathrow was on red alert ( and also the U.S.A ) Latest report ( on our news ) Stated that Heathrow now has had total shutdown. Tony Oz

if you google 'heathrow flight chaos' you'll get the latest update. Amazing that 12 months ago Heathrow was closed down due to striking workers. What is happening now is pretty scarey. poor Raggy Bear. love Yvette

Hi everyone... good morning!! Just to let you know there is a fullscale security threat here... 20 people arrested following a threat to blow up planes in flight so a lot of aircraft have been cancelled till they sort it all out... Hope this has not upset anyones travel plans , but if it has, then at least you are safe... Hope you all have a lovely evening regardless... Best wishes, Anne xxx

Errrm .. since I had that email back from GR it is running ok again - their way of covering up methinks? Jood

Haven't seen the news, but RB was saying no books, handbags or anything on the flight Eng-WA - can you imagine???? .. But now - no flights at all you say Tony. .. What on earth are they on about? Welcome home Wilson - we did often ask how you were going - looking foward to hearing all about it - where you went, etc. Whether the weather was kind to you. I got a reply back from GR - duh - they are sooo dumb - they think its MY computer - dur! 'Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I said - its going on all over the world - UK, Canada, Oz. I've written back, dying to know what answer they have this time. Jood
