General Chat

Oh hi SuzyQ, ya snuck in under me! I'll be coming to the Brissie Meet. Everything's booked, flights, car, accommodation, a stint in the local lunatic asylum, lol. Looking forward to it. Lew Lew x

Great to hear your Meet was such a success, Lara. That'll put the pressure on me for the Mudgee Meet next year. At least I'll have time to work on it once I finished up in 61 sleeps (8 Fridays) Gee, I don't think I can find any impersonators in Mudgee, but I'll see what I can do, lol! I am not responsible for all the chatter on the thread, 'cause I was shopping in Sydney and have the dockets to prove it! . Lew Lew xxx

Good Afternoon all you rich Wattlers, just planning what to do with my share.LOL That's if the Yarrawonga mob haven't spent it all already. Between friday afternoon and this morning I have had to read 13 pages, maybe some- one should reduce it all to shorthand for the holidaying crowd ( yarrawonga mob), so it will be easy for them all to catch up and also to introduce all the new members. Welcome newbies, EMOO, Forever Hunting and The Lady in Chelsea. I have difficulty remembering names so forgive me for not mentioning you all by name. We had a lovely day out yesterday. Went to see Wivenhoe Dam. May I suggest that any one living on the Gold Coast who feels the need to wash down their drives, first go and visit the dam and surrounds. And take your Mayor with you. I know, Hinze dam is full, but the rain could have fallen at Wivenhoe instead and then you would be in their shoes. Don't mean to upset any one but it is very tragic up there. No green grass in sight, lots of dried up creeks and rivers and an almost puddle where the dam should be. How many are going to the Brisbane meet? Can we beat the Yarrawonga number? I am really looking forward to it. I had heaps to say, and now I can't remember any of it. Trifley, how's the grave digging going? Is Nefer performing well in his duties? Hi Lara, thanks for bringing us up to date. It sems like you all have had a really great time, did you take may photos, I hope so. I agree with Rebs that here in Queensland it was advertised as double dividends, so Vonny might be able to buy even more entries. This time next week we should be the Wattle Millionairs. Well, I am going to disappear for a while, see you all later Love SuzyQ

good morning all , we are all bright eyed and bushy tailed here in unsunny Yarrawonga , have just said goodbye to John and Vonny on their way home going via Beechworth I think, and said bye earlier to Laurie and Ray also heading home grief They looked wonderful after such two late nights in a row I certainly didn't look good and was fast asleep when I heard Laurie saying 'Are you awake just came to say good bye and thanks ',her thanking me the duffer she was such a help couldn't stop her everytime I looked around she was washing or drying dishes (the sausage )the place was remarkely clean when we finished up around 12:30 am (please Note Rebs not bad for the Geriatrics eh ) that was from about 2:30 pm till 12:30am and after a lateish nite Friday as well wow . we had a great time and it was topped of by discovering we had our first win at tattslotto be it a mere pittance but as we decided and as was suggested by Tony Vonny will pick up the winnings and as well as having the ticket to be purchased by Gwenda ? I think for next Saturday night's lotto we will have the extra tickets that Vonny will be purchasing with our winnings from last nights winnings which will hopefully give us an even greater chance this week. The show and dinner was great on Friday we all had fun some of the audience made it even better and the Neil Diamond impersonater and Elvis were quite good I thought the Elvis was the better of the two he had a pretty good voice and the encore he did of the battle hymn of the republic was really exceptional loved it. Don't know what all the others doing but Judy and Ken and Tony and Barb and Heather and Barry were all staying up the Rd.and I havn't seen them yet today we were not able to go on a cruise for lunch as there were boat races on for the day today and so the lunch cruises were not going out except for the corporate sponsers of the boat races so that was a pity but then the weather didn't lend it self to the cruising anyway. By reading the thread you lot so apptly kept busy (you b***ers ) seems you ve had agood time with out us and welcome to the new people who have joined us this lot is not always so unrooly roooly but do need supervising as you can see hehe , but truly overall you couldn't meet a better lot anywhere must go and have nanny nap now Love to all Lara

Hello all Seems like everyone is busy today. I am just about to be likewise. I have got heaps of family notes that need following up, so I will be quite busy sifting through records and roaming cemetries online, not to mention census records and BDM records. So if I dont surface for a while you know that I am too busy to come on and chat. Happy Hunting everyone. FH

Morning all Wofflers..OOPS just notice the time..Arvo instead... Thread a little quieter today,, We are a lot of gadabouts arnt we... BIG LOTTO WIN....Do I start packing?? Must go and have lunch so back later.. Did anyone notice that the RED AND WHITE WON not bragging ... Love Maryxxx

Afternoon Leftovers. Had a great time at the nursery and have come away with some wonderful ideas for plants, etc. Roast beef for a late lunch today. Had to buy a new scanner this morning. The old one went to God last night! Perhaps I should put my $2.13 towards it, lol. Keep chatting, the Wongas will never, ever catch up!. Lew Lew xxx

Mine doesnt notice either way. I recon I could empty a tip truck in the middle of the lounge and as long as he could see the tv and the remote works he wouldn't notice. Asked him to put the rubbish bins out a few weeks ago and he asked 'where are they and where do I put them'.....much easier to do it myself. Now I feel awful, he really isnt that bad ...he works 7days a week from 6 til 7 and when he retires it will be a different story. Nearly lunchtime better go do a few things so I can get back later and chech up on the Yarra mob...I'm guessing they wont surface for a while...lol See u later

My OH does. Whenever I have the occassional lapse in housewifely duties, He points out the cupboard is a mess, or such and such needs doing. Yet when the bathroom scum is non-existant, and the countless double glass doors are so smudgeproof they're dangerous, laundry is washed, folded and put away before he gets home, he asks what I've been doing all day. Funny how they never realise what you do around the house until it hasn't been done. :-((

Why is it nobody else notices strange smells, or odd socks, ordirty windows etc

Morning Jude, sorry about the fridge, but everytime I open the door I get a whiff of something???? Makes is hard to forget. Lord knows what's lurking in the bottom of the damn thing shoved right to the back and long forgotten...........till now!!! Pool? Not if they had any sense they wouldn't. Too bloody cold my half.

Morning Rebs, did you have to mention the fridge? I was trying not to remember that mine needs a clean..someone has splashed oj all down the inside of the door...lol Wonder if anyone ended up in the pool last night at Yarra?

MORNING FOLK!!! HOPE THE Y'WONGA LOT AREN'T FEELING TOO POORLY THIS MORNING!!! I'm a bit of a late starter this morning, seems everyone has gone off to beddy byes. The boards have come to an almost complete standstill. So what are we doing with our big winnings? Put in trust until the next jackpot draw and buy some extra tickets then? I'm looking for excuses to stay on here at the moment. Went to the fridge for a drink of milk in the middle of the night, and something is not right in my firdge. I think it needs sorting. Oh....I hate cleaning the fridge. Coffee time............ Rebs x

Hi Sandra Im in Melbourne, we have a continuous light rain that will be really good for the garden but I was hopeing it would hold off for a couple of hours. My other big plan for today was clean out the wardrobe but hubby is home so thats not a good idea.....dont like him to see how much I give away...not that he cares particularly but I feel guilty...lol

Hi Sunshine Fairy, You said it's raining, send it our way, where abouts are you ?? I have several projects on the boil and don't know which to do first, big decisions. Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Hi All, Well numbers are down even more today, Joodles has gone away till Tues. Anna gone for the day. hope you have a good day even tho a bit sad. Lew gone to the nursery. FH. where abouts are you situated, I don't think I saw a reference unless I missed it with so many pages to read. Hope the wattlers heading home today have a safe journey, and that they will have lots of tales to tell. see you all later Sandra in the Gong

Morning FH & NPR looks like there's only us left.....was it something we said? I was going to work in the garden but its raining so next best thing, clean out the wardrobe but hubby is staying home so that isn't a good idea...guess I'm stuck with the ironing. Wonder how everone is feeling in Yarra, probably celebrated our big win...lol

Hello All Joodles I just come on here and find out firstly that most are away on a meet, then it sounds like you are going for a couple of days, I gather it might have something to do with Genealogy as that is what we are here for. As for you thinking I was hunting for a man!!!! Im forever hunting for dead peeps. Thats why I joined this site. Gee you are lucky people winning $2.13 in your lotto, as Anna said dont spent it all at once. FH

Woopdeedoo! $2.13 mmmm, what will I purchase? You lot were very chatty overnight. The Wonga lot will never catch up. Off to the nursery today to get some garden ideas. Anna, I hope everything goes perfectly today. You must feel very proud that your Son is being remembered in such a wonderful way. (((hugs))) *waves to all* Lew Lew xxx

Morning all Hope everyone has surfaced this morning bright eyed and bushy tailed. Overcast here - hope it dooesn't rain on the Classic Meet. I will be out all day attending it - have to make a speech and present trophy which is not my scene but proud to do it for David. Have a safe few days away Joodles. Don't spend your 2 bucks all at once! Catch you all later Anna
