OMG, the Mini Mudgee Meet went well, but I'm now very concerned about the Major one! You should have heard the chatting with just the 3 of us!!!!! Decibel rating was Huge! But honestly, what lovely girls Jood and Laurie are and a special thanks to cousin Colleen for inviting me, a total stranger, into her home. Doesn't she know that you shouldn't trust anyone you meet on the net!!! Now, how's the bidding going on Nefer. It would appear that I'm going to get him as I'm the only bidder, hooray! Seeya Lew lew xxx

H9i Wattlers, Just to set the record straight, I don't have a porn site, it must be Sue in Tassie. If Trifley brings the artifact, she may get arrested for possession. Won't say what off LOL. Hi Cilla, the meet is 10th June Southbank. Not sure where yet. Hi Rebs, Yes it did turn cold the other day. I was sitting in shorts and t and had to quickly put on track pant. Anna, at the end Grant deserved to win but like you I would have like to have seen Toby in the final. Wonder who they will choose for the next series. Any ideas. Grant Hackett would be good or Thorpie. Lew Lew, Laurie and Jood, hope that you all had a really good lunch, my ears aren't burning yet. LOL Gotta go, hope all is well with the Wattlers Love SusyQ

Ooo, yes, Flakey, I'll start the bidding at $1000 (gosh I hope we win Lotto!), Mmm, now what little chores can I think of for Nefer? Anna, shame on you, that Trifley doesn't need any more encouragement to sing. Are you handing out the cotton wool? Heee heeee, Lew Lew x

We could auction off Nefer's services ...lol

And a pie and lamington drive? And there would have to be karaoke ...we are all aware of Trifley's giftedness in the vocal sense...!! (We can talk about her all we like - she's out in the garden - he, he, heeeee) Lew - have a great lunch with that esteemed pair of Wattlers. Don't lead them astray! Anna

Ooo, that's a good idea Anna. I'm sure we can think of something to do on the barge that will raise money for Trifley's retirement. Oh I know what about ....... A Chook Raffle, heeee heeee. Nice to see you Rebs. Sorry you had to purchase an outer garment, but it was minus 3 here yesterday morning, so I don't have too much sympathy for you, lol. Lew Lew xxx

Hi folk! Good news about the miners eh? Hopefully they've been given space to relax with their families. Hope everyone is well and surviving the changing weather conditions. I actually had to buy a knitted outer garment yesterday. Went out mid morning wearing only a strappy, summer top and a skirt and by 4pm was freezing my butt off. First jumpy I've bought in four years. Winter is coming me thinks. Anyway, it's been a busy week, things to do, gotta fly. Try and catch up with the reading later..................when I have a good 4 consecutive hours to spare. lol !!! Take care everyone, love Rebs x

Trifley I am shocked. To think that you would even consider selling a relic from your ancestor! You never know - it might still have DNA on it. You'll have to think of some other way to fund your retirement - surely you could organise some enticing entertainment on the barge which would be a good money spinner.....? I'm sure the Wattlers could come up with some creative ideas..!! :>) Anna

OK, what's happening to the photo page??? Just went in to look for Sues artifact and up comes a porn site. Then I get a virus warning, so be careful what you open something is not right. Jude2

Back again Vonny....I've PM'd you. Lew Lew....you never know, this artifact might be worth a mint and I can sell it to fund my retirement lol. Gotta go again. Graeme is putting in a small garden for me today and I have to surpervise. Toodle ooo love Trifley

Good Morning wattlers, Have been away for a couple of days, so have been trying to catch up with posts, give up as a bad job II think. Well I think it has all been said, the joy, emotions about the miners, I think the whole country felt the same. Still very dry in the Gong and windy, hate the wind. Have so many projects on the go I don't know where to start. My eldest Grandson turns 21 in Nov and I have so many pictures and lots of bits and pieces so have decided to do a book from birth to 21 in the scapbooking way. I am also trying to put together a sort of family history book. on my ancesters. Well have a nice day all and will pop bck later. Sandra in the Gong

Morning Wattlers, bit gloomy in Melb today, looks like it wants to rain. Lew Lew Joodles have a great lunch and dont forget we want pics. I heard last night that Sophie will be in a drug induced coma for the next 2 weeks but she is stable and will hopefully make a good recovery. I think because of the broken ribs they dont want her to move very much. Hi to all the wafflers, back later Jude2

Vonny, in Word you should have lots of 'symbols'. Just cut and paste the ones you want. Some of them don't work, so it's trial and error, I'm afraid. Any news of little Sophie? Trifley, you're so lucky with have such an, umm, err, 'unusual' artifact. Are you bringing it to the Brissie Meet, pmsl. Heeeee heeee Lew Lew xxx

Trifely, Could you pm or email me a description of your artifact please? I know you had one on general a while ago. Hubby will take piccy's and description to work (he is a conservator at the War Memorial but they conserve all sorts of objects including cultural objects and like a challenge at lunchtimes!) Help with name decorations??????????? ~~~~~~~Vonny

Morning all Just a quick hello before I put the next load of washing out. Have you all seen the thread about someone hacking into GC photo page? Don't know if it's a furphy or not. But could explain why the photo site has been playing up. Big ~~~~~~waves to everyone. Healing thoughts for little Sophie. I'll check back later. love Trifley PS Anna....no, just the one unusual artifact. Can't even start a collection with just one ha ha. T

Morning all Beautiful day in sunny Queensland. I wonder how Todd and Brant are feeling this morning. I heard on the Sunrise show that Brant has not pulled up as well as was originally thought but there weren't any details. I cannot even begin to imagine how bleak and stressful those long days underground must have been. Haven't heard anything about little Sophie - here's hoping she is doing well. And Grant won Dancing with the Stars - I will miss it on a Tuesday night. I still lthink Toby should have been in the final. Hi Cilla - Reb is organising the venue for Brisbane and she has diappeared off the boards - she may be in the naughty room with Nefer - but I'm sure she'll drag herself back to Wattle tthread eventually and give us the details. Hi Trifley - found any more phallic objects lately? On second thoughts, I don't really want to know, me having led a sheltered life and all..... Had an interesting speaker at our genealogy meeting yesterday - the man who started the Ryerson Index. He comes from Sydney and is a member of lthe Dead People's Society. He is now living in Toowoomba and still co-ordinates the details he receives daily from people indexing the death/funeral/obituaries from papers around Australia. Such a nice guy. Writing group this arvo so best polish up the homework I need to finish by this afternoon. Have a good day XX Anna Tony - where are you?

Good chilly morning all and a special hello to Cilla~~~~~. Hope you have a great time with Jood, and her niece? today, Lew Lew. HELP please, someone from general has sent me a message asking me how I put the music in my name and I can't remember!! I also have changed to Firefox and my toolbar seems to have changed a bit too. Please can someone help??? Thank you :) I'll write it down, promise lol. Bit forgetful lately, I bought a birthday card for my DIL yesterday and promptly left it on my desk at work! Her birthday is today! *now where did I put........................ ~~~~~~Vonny :)

Morning all got up early to spend a bit of time on here before Jim gets up as we have been working around the house & I just don't seem to find the time lately to spend on here, weather here in Queensland is still beautiful glad that I don;t have to cut firewood any more. Can someone please pm me with details of the Brisbane meet as I am hoping that I can get down there for it. I am going to go & read all the messages now as i haven't read any for a while. Be back later Love Cilla

Good Morning All, another beautiful sunny day here in Mudgee (bugger!!), but at least it's lovely for Laurie and Jood's visit. Looking forward to lunching with them! Trifley, I still reckon your artifact looks like something Nefer might have lost! Have you checked him lately for missing bits, pmsl. heee heee Wattlers have been a bit quiet overnight. Probably all emotionally exhausted after the miners' rescue. Just spoke to my Aunt in Bright, Vic, and they've already had about 30 cm of snow. Will probably go and visit her in August. Hey, Lara, that's not far from Yarrawonga, is it? Might pop over for a cuppa! Well must away and get myself ready for today's special lunch. Love to you all ~~~waving north, south, east and west~~~ Lew Lew (51) xxx
