Hi Wafflers........you'll be able to recognise me in Brissie! I'll be the one wearing a tiara and singing...'Tiara boom te ay, Tiara boom te ay....' Hi Sandra in the Gong.....Graeme is the one with some dead peeps in that area (I think). The Chapmans and the Lethbridges all sprouted in Pimlico and the Yeo lot stuck their heads up in Devon. Most of my lot are from Ireland and Lancashire. There are, of course, as with everyones trees, peeps who seemed to appear out of the mists of time. Why they didn't keep proper records, I'll never know. They must have known I would want to do the bl***y family trees! Lew Lew......yaayyy you're coming to Brissie :o). Now we'll have someone to keep Rebs out of trouble. How is beautiful Ruby? Learning to say 'gold' yet? I'm crawling off to bed now to get some well earned sleep. See ya all in the morrow. ~~~~~~~~waves and big <<<hugs>>> from me on the Royal Barge love Trifley

I thought you'se all had pics of each ovva. I know wot Anna, Rebs, & Lew lew look like - and Mary & Laurie, and Lara & Shaz, and Sandra and even Tony <he's not the one with fishnet stockings tho> Jood

Lew Lew It will be great to see you in Bris Vagas Don't let OH change his mind about the deal.... we've got you down as a definite! I was wondering myself how we would recognise one another - black feather boas?? :>)) Anna (struts off singing - You can bring Pearl she's a real nice girl but don't bring Lew Lew You can bring Rose with the turned up nose but don't bring Lew Lew Lew Lew always wants to do What the boys don't want her to.................... Dum de dum de dum de dum Boom boom da boom)

Sorry to ignore you, Tony. Could be daughter is just having a 'bad hair day'. Anyway, just sit tight for the moment and let 'nature run its course'. Lew x

OOOOO, 'Ow about I just hell out 'Oi, I'm here, where are the rest of ya! Would you be happy with that Rebs? Why? 'Cause it's too early in June for wattle. It don't start flowering 'til July. Geez, and you call yaself an Aussie!!!!! lol, Lew Lew x

Thanks for your comments peeps. Barb has gone out with girl freinds since lunch time ( shopping ) and then Phone rang...and it was elsest girl...so been sitting here and trying to fathom what the......? Tony Oz

Find a sprig of bloody wattle woman. Rebs *who has a dislike for roses*

Oh Goody, 10 June it is! Should I wear a red rose so you'll all recognise me, or will you just hear me and know who it is, pmsl. Lew Lew (I could just do the Crewella laugh, heeeeee, heeeee) xxx

Hi Mary, this is eldest daughter ( not Pregnant ) This one has 5 year old....and me is fearing the worst. Joodle mate. I will Email you details of my Bullard line. Tony Oz

Oooh LewLew, thats wonderful!!! 10th June, Southbank. still investigating exact venue within precinct......whoever will have us I guess. lol Oh crap, so busy catching up with stuff, I just slightly burnt dinner. pmsl!!! Rudes, I agree with Mary. Could be sleep deprivation. That's enough to make you kill. Or hormones. Has she recently stopped breast feeding, cause that can mean the resumption of -how can I put this at dinner time.......erm, monthly issues. Which will mean massive hormone surges till her system works itself out. On a more serious note, undiagnosed post-natal depression. okay, just read your last post, so skip the breast feeding and post natal theories. How old is she Rudes? If your looking for female reasons, which is normally hormonal, early menapause possibly. Seems to be a more common occurance these days. If possible, you need to get her talking. Sorry, can't comment in regards to personal issues. Give her a day or two and see what frame of mind she is in then. This burnt mac cheese is erm.......yummy???

Tony Re daughter.. A little bit of post baby blues ,,,, or ..watch out for a possible post natal depression.. both can be treated by a doctor.. Tiredness is a big thing with a new baby due to sleep deprevation. so see if she can get a little help so that she can have a rest during the day.. A big hug from dad will help to.. Love Maryxxx

Ohhhhh Tony - your daughter wasn't serious was she????? The reason I asked about the Richardsons is that someone put some pictures in of a graveside out in the bush somewhere. Still ............. you never know! Tony - my sister married a Bullard, and I know they came from overseas ............... can you give me some info then and I'll check with her. .............. we might be related............. indirectly ! pmsl Lew lew - 10th June is the date. Jood

Boy, this site is being a bit narky tonight! Tony, my talk of Essex was only in relation to a friend who'd just had a baby and Dad is from Essex. Geez, wouldn't want to be mistaken for an Essex Girl, lol. Hey, when's the Brissie Meet? Hubby just asked me if I wanted to go! He'd like to meet all the people who I spend time chatting with! I think that means, count me in! Lew Lew x

Hi Guys, is it just me or is GR going strange tonight. If I refresh I get a warning triangle, I've spent an hour trying to post a reply but the page keeps coming up unavailable and now in the green col under my account details I have 'credit error' Ididnt do nuffin..really I didnt......maybe the poms just dont want us to have praline flakes>>>>LOL Jude2

Here are the two photo page addies for those who want them. http://groups(.)msn(.)com/GCPhotos-thenextgeneration/ And http://groups(.)msn(.)com/GCPhotospage/shoebox.msnw tested them both and they are working. but don't forget to remove the brackets.

PMSL :-))))))) Heard that one before but it always makes me laugh :-)

Sorry, Rebs, I know you're the joke gal, but I had to share this one! Three men were hiking through a forest when they came upon a large, raging, violent river. Needing to get on the other side, the first man prayed, 'God, please give me the strength to cross the river.' Poof! God gave him big arms and strong legs and he was able to swim across in about 2 hours, having almost drowned twice. After witnessing that, the second man prayed, 'God, please give me strength and the tools to cross the river.' Poof! God gave him a rowboat and strong arms and strong legs and he was able to row across in about an hour after almost capsizing once. Seeing what happened to the first two men, the third man prayed, 'God, please give me the strength, the tools and the intelligence to cross this river.' Poof! He was turned into a woman. She checked the map, hiked one hundred yards up stream, and walked across the bridge. Lew Lew :-) (Sorry Tony!)

Oooo, yummy, I'm gettin' a praline flake. Jood bet me, but I'm number 2. Thanks Jude 2. Hey Julie Cat, pppppppppp. Mmmm praline flake! And don't think you can offend me with your age comments, I'm retiring at my youthful age, because I can! pmsl (just don't tell the bloody bank manager) Sandra, hang out the washing, wash the car, anything to get that rain going Have just had a little visit with Miss Ruby Elizabeth. She is a very pretty child. Gets it from her Aussie Mum. We just won't tell her that her Dad's from Essex! *waves to all and sundry* Lew Lew xxx
