Morning Wafflers. Beautiful sunny morning in Malbin. Been getting a few foggy mornings, but the day's are nice and sunny. Only just under 4 weeks to go before we fly off to Singapore, Scotland, Paris,London.....Gee lifes bloody hard...but it has to be done, and I'm willing to suffer the pain...lol ( How's that for Waffling....:>))) This thread should be booked for speeding, i reckon...lol Just wanna say congratulations, as the thread has passed the 4000 mark, and not a single upset or nasty dig at anyone, and all seem to get along even though some of us have never met......Our Ancestors would be smiling....:>))) But i guess, its that Ozzie layed back attitude, and let bygones be bygones. The board has changed a lot since i first joined, left, then joined again in June 2004.Many Ozzie's have come and gone, but this group are the tops. Iv'e been busy putting a Web page together for my Family research, and its coming along quite nicely, as i need more exposure than what GR can supply. Don't mention the Footy last night to Sue ( in Tas )......Psssstt....they got done, and she wont be in a good mood. Didn't kick a solitary point in the last Quarter, and she is probably standing on a Bridge in Tas. ready to jump off. GO PIES..:>)) Welcolme to Jill, and just letting you know if there is anything in Oz regarding BDM's then dont hesitate to ask on this thread and someone will help you. Also, on the TIPS board there is my 'AUSTRALIAN RESEARCH TIPS' thread..by Anthony Hull ( Free plug..:>)).......... with hopefully lots of Ozzies help sites to check through. ( must go 'Nudge it up' ) Good luck to us all in the Lotto Draw to-night, and a nice big fat win wouldnt go astray....:>)))) Av a good un. Tony Oz....:>)))

Morning Wafflers, Not many around this morning you must have all played up last night. Went out for dinner last night to a seafood buffet, we love our seafood, I had at least 2 doz oysters, half k of prawns, some balmain bugs, like crab but can't be bothered to fiddle around cracking it, then all the other delights that are on offer, back to diet I think soon. To many pages to respond to individually, so wont bother. Grey overcast day in the Gong maybe we might get rain ???? well must get stuck into some of that stuff (you know h.......k) Have a great day what ever you may be doing today. Sandra in the Gong.

Morning all, Jill, adding to favourites is the way to go. But for your info: above the general thread board are two choices, View All Threads / View Your Threads Only. In view your threads only, you will find all the threads you have ever added too. This helps to keep track of threads you are interested in but don't want in favorites. Had a sleep in this morning - nice. Trifley - not the presenter. Horus turned up as a performer in the Moroccan segment :) (or else it was his cousin!) having an 'at home day' today. Hubby wants us to choose the family pictures to go up on the wall :) ~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Morning LL what were you up to last night? If OH away did you have one of Nefer's bros. around lol jude 3

Morning All, weren't you all busy overnight! Was having a lovely sleep-in until I heard someone knocking on the front door!!! Having a bit of trouble typing, 'cause the cat, Mu, keeps walking on the keyboard! OH is on his way back from Sydney, so I'd better get my act together and tidy the joint up! Seeya Lew Lew xxx (41 - 5 Fridays)

Morning Joodles . . . . Cooler day here today in Auckland - the girorses are busy with a container ship down in fron of me, and I am just getting the lovely Ray's gear ready for his working afternoon on the golf course! Jill, have you ever used 'favourites' before ??? If not, just click on favourites up the top of your screen and it gives you the option to save the page you have open in your favourites. Make sure you give it the name of Wattle for easy recognition, and save it once you have the wattle thread and you are on the latest page first! Have a play around with it and you will find it most helpful If you need any help just give a yell someone will be around to help most of the time! OOpps got a knock on the door back soon luv Laurie

Jill, just go into message board, and type Wattle in the search box. That easy. Otherwise, save it to your favourites, and just update it every time. Jood

Morning to anybody who are up, Weekdays I'm up at 6pm to take my daughter to work, can't wait for her to get her licience, so I was looking forward to a nice lie in this saturday morn when my husband digs me in the ribs to remind me of the time, urrr! he thought it was Friday, can never go back to sleep once awake so I have been catching up with last nights messages, the unmentionable one is still asleep, Will look in again later I want to ask a couple of questions on how to use this page better took me ages to find the Wattle Club this morning must be doing something wrong, Jill

Sweet dreams ~~~~~~~~~waves from me as i head to the Barge to snuggle into bed. Trifley X

Naahh....it wasn't Horus. My boy is much better looking than that. Better muscles, nicer hair, sparkling teeth and ooohh that rear!!!! Uuummm....eeerrr....think I might have a shower before bed. Trifley x

~~~well $$$$Jude$$$$ that's it for me too, been a very long week and I get to SLEEP IN tomorrow.......off to sweet dreams of greek gods....... Hz in Alb nite all........

Nite Sue Im off now too, the drinks have kicked in and the room is starting to get cold see you tomorrow Jude2

Yes Anna I did have a good night with my cousin and I was telling her about this thread and about some of you having a get together at the Casino in Brisvegas and she said oh the Treasury Building (I think that is what she called it) found out she has lived in Qld for a while. I have spat the dummy with the TV so I am also off to bed. Catch you all tomorrow. Cheers Sue

Thats right Anna just pop in long enough to grab the big one and then leave......thats ok, we dont mind......really Did you find him Trifley? How did he get to Greece

Trifley runs off to TV to look at Horus.

Hi guys Have been watching the Eurovision Song Contest (from Greece)and I came in here to turn off the computer - and there it was for the taking! Couldn't resist it. Sorry guys! The first really big one I've managed to get! I'm going to Athens when we win the Lotto - they were doing shots around Greece in between the contestants and it is so beautiful. Some of the contestants were crap though! Hi Devly - have missed you over the last few days - glad you were able to catch up with your cousin. Hi Jude and Heather - you guys are the stayers tonight. I'm off to bed. Have a good one Anna Goodnight Trifley and Vonny - you snuck in under me. I rather fancied the Greek compere Trifley - you can have Nefer's brother.

Thanks Vonny, I think the stat dec will be the way to go, for a start at least. Really p****s me off when you teach your kids to do the right thing and then some moron tries to rip them off like this. No wonder kids lose faith in the system

Bloody Anna..........I was waiting for that one pmsl It was a big one too. I never get the big ones! Stomps off to corner to pout. Jude....tell your daughter to give it a go. Make the letter polite and give details just as Heather said. For the cost of a stamp she might be able to stop the fine. Fingers X X X for her. Trifley X

Late evening all :) Trifley - just saw Horus on the Euro-song contest. He was dancing with the Moroccan girl. Mmmmmmmm Melb. Jude: ring up and find out how to contest. There will be a proper proceedure. Probably to fill out an affidavit/Stat Dec. (sp?) to start with. It will be worth it for her not to have the record against her. They should tell you what sort of evidence they have eg photographic. Once you find out you can go from there. There are a lot of mistakes made. Night all :) Vonny

Anna, that wasn't nice....lol `````~~~~I wondered what they were
