Have finished cooking dinner for tomurra night. I know it will be a long day (and night). Off to my luv affair with the bed. Nighty nite, sleep tight Don't let the bed bugs bite Pam

I was starting to think I would have had more chance of getting one if I'd spent the night down the park! yes, just total non- cense. I'm off to bed or I'll be still catching shut eyes tomorrow love Yvette xxx

Yvette whether you have cense or not, this is not on. From what we were told in training, the local collector should have been advised after the first time you rang. I had a lady last Sat week who rang up and said she wanted an envelope. I delivered it the next day which is what we are supposed to do. Bad communications obviously !!! My son would have been happy to be in your shoes. No way in the world was he going to fill in a form. Just as well I was around. Let me know what happens Ducky

yvette, that's really non-cense isn't it? (ok I'll stop :) I think you'll find that in the 'bush' the census peeps are very dedicated. I know when we lived off the beaten track next to a state forest, the census lady came to our house to ask the way into the forest cause lots of 'hippys' lived in little communities and she wanted to be sure she found them!! I think it was very brave of her as they weren't exactly friendly to strangers. Vonny

I rang that number, it was still light. They asked whether my neighbours had them. Next door is a church and a restaurant (either side) but there other houses in my street. My house is noticeable as a house, plus there some units across the street. I had rang previous to today to ask and they said the forms would be delivered up to today. I spoke to the lady in the street behind and she said she got hers last week. she's also got a little shop down the street and she said they came in there the other day too. Well the lady on the census line said that maybe they were running a little late with deliveries and I would eventually get one. I told her it wasn't right as today was census day not next week sometime.This was before I realised that I had just been 'neglected' If this has happened to me in a town, how many others miss out I wonder. I'm not impressed. Even less impressed because oh and the kids seem to think its funny, and they miss out on filling out the form. I also left my phone number, but no reply as yet. - and no cense Love Yvette x

Yvette, did you ring 1300 362 883, because they should have got onto the local census collector straight away to have your forms delivered. Pam

Just got home. Hubby finished the Tax and I did the census. LOL (((((HUGS))))) Trifley. Be thinking of and praying for you. Rebs - very strange. Going to check the boards. ~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny Yvette, didn't you get your census?? Does that mean you have no cense??

Anna, wish I could 'not have to talk to strange men'. Had a strange experience delivering forms. This one particular fella was in a retirement place and I think I will get the manager to accompany me tomorra. Bit scary. But it takes all kinds Ducky

Goodnight everybody, I'm positively green with envy that you all got to do your census and I missed out love Yvette xx

Goodnight all you sleepy Wattlers Filling out the census has obviously exhausted everyone! Good luck with your collection Duffy FLuck - don't talk to any strange men! Devly - Chris is still laughing at your interpretation of the help with movement in bed question! He was going to put 'sometimes' but I smacked him! See you all tomorrow XX Anna

Hi All Just a quick look in. Trifley hope everything goes okay tomurra. Rebs hope you had a great day. Probably won't be around too much in the next couple of weeks, but I WILL BE BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ducky

Darlings, are you all sleepy? I've just received another 'game' reply off a lovely friend who told me yesterday how she was a bit shy to send it back. I told her that I felt the same first time around and I'm so thrilled she sent it back, + added another Q to it as well. What animal would you like to be? I'm sending you ((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))Trifley, you are so strong and brave. I've had accupuncture before but I can't remember why. It didn't hurt though and I had a little sleep while I waited with the needles in. Actually I tend to have a little sleep if I have to wait for anything much. Thanks for the animals smiling, I sent that to my friend. I'm going for a look through the boards then off. Sandra , I'll pm you re; Saturday - excitement starting to accumulate Love Yvette x

Trifley my Sweet, lots of special hugs for you tomorrow. Do we have to find a hedgehog now to play with wattle bear, in honour of you becoming a human pincushion?

~~~~~waves to Cat person The arm is still sore....I'm hoping the acupuncture works on Thursday. I've never had it before but I'm assuming it will take a few goes before I see any benefit. Rebs...very strange about the email. Could you trace the 'E' card back to the senders address? I've received a few 'E' cards and they have the senders address on them. love TX

~~~~~~~~~to Trifley~~~~~~~~~~~ Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Hello Wattlers Hap Hap Happpeee Birthday Rebs! And may you have many, many more. I haven't sent your email addy to anyone.....don't give out anyone's addy to anyone. I've just finished our on line census form. It's a pity they didn't ask questions about parents names, second given names, places of birth etc. In 99 years our decendants will be hungry for that kind of info. Big day tomorrow....bone scan and a visit to the local GP to have some fluid drained from the suture line. I'm having an early night soI'll see you all tomorrow. Big ~~~~~waves and hugs to you all. love Trifley X

btw, l received another email from my mystery card sender. They apparently 'accidently stumbled' across my email address a few weeks ago. Not bad going, considering the addy is just over two weeks old. Oh, and they read the wattle thread as well.

Hi everyone :-) Trifley hope your arm is feeling better. Jood hope you've got rid of that cold. Happy Birthday Rebs :-) ~~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~ Catxx

I liked that one too Rebs but I also stopped and thought about Question 21Does the person ever need someone to help with, or be with them for, Body movement activities???? I thought well ....... for some body movements that usually happened of a night and usually in bed lol Wonder if that counts hee hee Cheers Sue

Grrrrrrr, l've spend an enthrawling hour dragging employment info out of my highly un-cooperative 21 yr old, and even more unco-operative head of household. lol, when completing your census online and you get to question 59 is your answer going to be 'well der'
