Hi everyone :-) Phew it's just taken me the best part of two hours to catch up. Firstly thanks to everyone for their get well wishes. I'm feeling a lot better now, still got a cough but even that's getting better. Lew you mentioned chicken soup, well the day I came down with the virus was the day before mothers day. On mothers day the kids woke me up with brekky in bed, yes it was chicken soup pmsl. Rebs WELCOME BACK :-))))))))))))))))))))))) Ok I know I'm a bit late but better late than never lol. Thanks for the ecard. Congratulations to your daughter too. Lara sorry to hear you're not feeling too good, take care of yourself and that muscle. Laurie hope you enjoyed your trip and got everything you wanted and hope Ray gets better soon. Lew glad to hear the moves going well. Mary I don't think we've met although I read a couple of your posts before getting the virus. Hope you sell your caravan soon, that couple would have come from somewhere not too far from me. Will have to go and get dressed. It was morning when I started reading this thread, now it's afternoon and I'm still not dressed lol. Hi and welcome to those who have just arrived on this thread. Hope everybodys ok, sending healing thoughts to those who are not. *waves to everybody* Juliexx

Thank you for reminding me about smoke alarms devilly - they say you should replace the batteries when daylight saving changes, which was last night - they apparently last a year. Im lucky, I can ask the firemen to come and change mine (for free) - they are only 3 doors down. Last year they arrived (2 of them - did they think I was going to attack one??) and lo and behold they had their big truck with them. I said - you are only 3 doors away, and their excuse - well, I have to say it was legitimate, was that the ladder was on the truck and they didnt know if I had one. So I must buy some more batteries and then give the firies a ring. Jood

Evening All From a tired and worn out, but very happy Wattler, I cant remember who said what and I couldnt be bothered writting on word as I was reading so I will just mention what I can remember, and hopefully get the right names in the right places, Tony and Lara thanks for you winning wishes for the match today, Hope the pies go ok tomorrow. Rebs yes Mersey Valley does have nice cheese. Didnt get to see much of the car racing over yesterday or today, but from what I heard I didnt miss much as those red group got most of the placing, Ooh well at least it wasnt for championship points so the blue ovals probably werent trying too hard hee hee. I saw mention about smoke alarms, I think Anna mentioned it, we have 2 smoke alarms in our house, and on Thursday evening one of them started beeping so we had to climb on furniture, as we have 12 foot ceilings, and had no ladder here that we could use, didnt want the thing beeping all night. so we changed that battery, then last night the other one started beeping, and yes you guessed it we still havent got the ladder from the landlord, so up on the furniture again. We have got a prob with our computer, no happy Jan :-((( We have 2 hard drives and David did an online virus scan and now we cant access the second drive, which we used for a storage drive, so guess what is on that one ......... You got it all my family history stuff, I have got most of it on disc, but I havent backed it up for the last 2 months, I havent added a lot but there is a bit, so that will teach me to be more vigilant and back up every time. Well must go catch you tomorrow, I hope unless this puta shuts down completely :-(( Cheers Sue

Don't it make my blue eyes, Don't it make my blue eyes, Don't it make my blue eyes, Navy Blue. hehe!! Rebs x

Laurie how is Ray getting better I hope ? and have you got back to being not on holiday yet and sorted out all you have found ?

Well, just woke up again. lol!! Went back to bed after Webber bombed out of the race. Yesterdays dishes are still in the sink, so that wine and cheese are looking an interesting option right now Lew Lew.. Though I prefer a nice mellow, but slightly sweet red, and some of that Mersey Valley cheddar from Devleys way. Got a real bite to it, very crumbly, yet very creamy. Mmmm!!! Babs, where about in Melbourne is your son. Such a lovely place. I love it down there, and have felt quite homesick the last few weeks seeing the sights of the city on the telly with the coverage of the games and the grand prix over the weekend. Love to be able to move back. If I could find a job down there I'd seriously consider it. Did an inspection of the girls dress after yesterdays comp to see if any diamantes etc need to be replaced, and came close to spitting the dummy. There are bald patches everywhere. All the sequins down the inside arms of her dress and against the bodice where her arms rub have come off. That's never happened before. I may have to make a new dress if she does the state titles in August. I'll be more careful with my fabric choice this time. Grrrr!!!!! Where's that bloody wine??? And I'm still hankering after some hot, crispy potatoe cakes doused in salt'n vinegar. Very unfair of you to tease us girls Rudes.

Afternoon All, beautiful day in sunny Mudgee and we've just finished for the day. Hubby just putting a nice piece of pork roast in the bbq and a late lunch - yummy. Moving going remarkably smoothly and we should be in by Wednesday. New bedrooms suites and office furniture arrive on Tuesday, along with our old (about 12 months!) fridge and freezer which are currently with the panelbeater being sprayed the appropriate colour silver. The cabinet maker was still at the house when we left putting the shelves in the laundry cupboard - yes in a small country town you actually get tradespeople who work on a Saturday and Sunday! The fact that we do his legal work might have something to do with it, lol. Oooo Tony, tattie cakes. Brings back memories of when we moved from Melbourne to Sydney. Sydney people call them scallops and I was real disappointed when I ordered scallops and got potatoe cakes! By the sounds of it Rebs, you have emotional exhaustion!!!! Glass of Charddy and some cheese and biscuits will fix that. Pleased to hear all is well with your son Babs. Well, must away and continue packing. Love to you all and thanks for your support. Lew Lew, Princess of Purging!!!! xxx

Thought I'd jump on while they clear the track. Seems half the field is out of the race and they haven't even completed a race lap yet. lol!! Rudes, I'm with Joodles. No fair!!! Tattie cakes and vinegar. Yum. Takes me back to the days when I used to use my bus fare at the fish'n chip shop after school and scab a ride off the bus driver. Anna, I'm not sure where your mind is sweetie, but the small battery device I ordered was a smoke detector. I smashed the other one last week when I threw it against a wall at 2am. Damn thing kept going off for no reason. *smiles innocently* Where's Mummy Lara? Are you feeling better today Hon? Pat, sorry you can't make the Brissie meet. But then again, maybe you're taking the safer (and less embarrassing) option. Cheers Folk, love Rebs x

Joodle You snuck in.....itchy left palm means money leaving your hand.... itchy right palm means recieving money....b****r, can you organise an itchy left one when you go to buy the ticket????? lol Tony.....now i am getting hungry as well, i love chips and tatty cakes with vinegar......Mmmmmm i maybe tea........... Wilson

Afternoon Wattlers Lovely day here, although a bit cool. Perfect for catching up on some on that nasty h*******k, mostly done now, just some washing and ironing t do, Mmmmmm do i need choccy for that?....i hope so...lol, now i have an excuse to shopping as well.....then there won't be time to iron,lol. can i still eat the choccy???? My neighbour is still off colour, she rang and asked me if i could come and feed her dog for her.....toast!!!! Ended up getting both her and the dog breakfast, hope i don't get her bug. My OH has been cleaning out his shed and found some old photos in a trunk that belonged to his grandfather....wish someone had noted who they were of and where they were taken. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend, take care Wilson

Tonyyyyyyyyyy that wasnt very fair to say you were going to the fishn'chip shop now was it??????????????? Even tho I have had my lunch, Im drooling at the thought. Someone else had the leckey blanket on last night BEFORE she went to bed, just to warm the sheets up. Geez, and winter hasnt really started yet. I can't believe that this ere room, which was soooooo hot in summer, could be so cold today. Outside it looks a gloooooorious sunny day. Like you - I will be putting on a jumper or wearing a cardigan very soon. Sounds like you are all happy with the idea of winning 21 million dollars. Wonder what the Qld & Vic Lotto would have paid as first prize???? I can only do my best. I had a very very itchy left palm this morning - I hope that was the right one! Jude2, how is your OH now after his self-inflicted illness? pml Lew Lew - I guess you are still struggling with boxes and boxes in the new house. Did you sleep there last night? You didnt say if the rain affected you, or if it is still raining??? Jood

O'k....I have the Tattie Cakes, the Vinegar, the salt, the Tele, the Footy ( Hawks & freeo ) What more could a bloke want...lol Anna. Our Lotto ticket is becoming like... 'The Holy Grail '.......:>)) He/ she who loses the lotto ticket will not enter the pearly gates....lol Tony Oz..:>)) GO HAWKS. ( for Tassie )

Hi Wattlers - typed 'morning' and then realised it was 1.30pm!! I'm having a big clean out of my cupboard in the study which holds all my old school resources - I'm moving them to the halfwayhouse (a cupboard in the garage). I'm even throwing some of them out which is really scary! Now I'll have more room for my genealogy stuff in the study!! Lew - glad to hear you moved on a dry day and that things are going OK. How exciting to unpack all your own stuff after it has been in boxes for ages. Mary - hope you have some success with the van soon - the geriatric couple didn't sound too promising. Rebs - the meet up at Bris Vagas is going to be bigger than Ben Hur - hope you can find a place where they don't mind a lot of singing! Congratulations to your daughter for her win in the dance comp. You know the old saying - behind every succussful daughter is a dedicated mother! Glad you didn't have to cancel your order for that small device!!!!! Tony - nice that Myers are so accommodating and are holding that big telly for you. We're all counting on you now Joodles. I'm just glad that my responsibility for not losing the ticket is over! Jude 2 - hope you survive the ironing. Mine is there staring at me - my dear hubby will do it if I leave it for long enough! He was a bachelor for 40 years before I married him so he is quite used to keeping house which is such a blessing! Hope your OH recovers from the 'food poisoning' soon. I've just realised - we are all on the same time now - well the East Coast anyhow. Queenslanders don't have the fuss of putting clocks back to the correct time. Have a good day Anna

Oh dear, think it's one of those days..... Up early, made a coffee, logged on but couldn't concentrate..... eyes wouldn't stay open and head was all foggy. Felt like I had a slight hangover, but I haven't been drinking, so I went back to bed and slept till nearly 11. Tried again, made a coffee and sat and watched the V8's at the grand prix...............and fell asleep again. Haven't finished a cup of coffee yet. lol!! Who won by the way? Hope it wasn't Skaife. Think it's about 20 min till the big one starts. Go Webber!!! Very quiet on here today, is everyone having a strange day, or have you all gone out cause you have lives? Close game between the Hawks and the Dockers so far Devley. Catch you all when I'm a little more with it. Cheers, Rebs x
