Lew please don't get that beautiful couch muddy , its exciting moving in isnt it although I've never actually had a new new house this one is so different to when we moved in its like a new one to me, although one I had planned my self would be lovely I would imagine. what sort of quilt please Jude ?????I thought you worked for your hubby ? need details please Rebs will tell you I am a sticky nose of the first order lol is your visitor going to the cottage or normal house poor b****er without a roof it will be a bit chilly LOL Wilson have you started on the removing your old Legacy and replacing with the new one yet mate bite the bullet.?

My motto for the football season. Guma Coganta de Bróg pheile dár namhaid translated.................... chewy on boot of enemy. * walks off innocently whistling* :-pppp

pmsl, Naughty Tony - off to the Corner with you!!!!! Ummm, on second thoughts, maybe not. The Bar Tender doesnt' need any competition, lol. Lew Lew :-)))))

aaaaaand.....i also recite Poetry. The boy stood on the burning deck, his pocket full o crackers........nah..better not....:>)))) Tony Oz..:>))

Good One Rebs. Ahh, The Old Navy Blues and, of course, Richmond! Keep them mottos coming in. Tony, you old hippy you, lol. I think 'omnes in excessio' - everything to excess, is appropriate, although my family motto is 'never pay retail'! Lew Lew xxx

Awwww Rebs - Im not a BLING person - hardly wear any jewels - dont even have a diamond ring any more :-(( But Im happy. Tell me - are there any Wattlers NOT into footie?????? I think you Jude girls have forgotten that owwer Tony still plays the geetar - you girls will be in for a singsong at Yarra. *blocks ears at the thought* pmsl Jood

Such talent we wafflers have (cept yours truly) – Tony you are brilliant mate. I can imagine a boozy rendition with you on ya geetar at the Yarra meet!!!! (can someone take some pics and videos etc for those poor peeps who cant go??? Judes 2 & 3 – ya both put me to shame. And Travel Jude – wots BLING?????? Jude 3 – will have to check out your Yarravale – have no idea where it is. You’ve all had me in fits this afternoon! Its Foundation Day tomorrow in dear old Springwood (just up the street) – there will be marquees and markets and stalls and food and things to buy – will wander up during the morning. All the shops will have specials. Something different for a Saturday! Jood

Tony do we make sure there is a guitar available in Yarrawonga - and make sure you have a few VB tablets lol jude 3

Had an image of Tony , greased back hair in a smokefilled dingy cafe, sitting on a bar stool strumming a guitar with aVB on the table beside him and Barb sitting on the floor gazing up at him adoringly

lol...glad ya liked me little Ditty...:>)) Miss travel addict.....:>)) I dont know about clever...lol As a teenager, there used to be a group of us who gathered in various Coffee lounge's around Melb. If i saw a Guitar..and the mood was right ( normally after Mid-night )...:>)) we would take popular songs and change the words around a bit. A few were 'R' rated..lol Barb ( as a Teenager ) always edged me on, and soon we were all belting out songs and having a ball. They were good day's, and lots of harmless fun. Tony Oz....:>)) My motto is: ( Die dulci frere. )means: Have a nice day.

Hi Jetsetting Jude great to have you back - you did us proud at the shops by the sound of it. Glad its your husband who is going to pay the visa bill - lol. Mine would be likely to have a seizure its bad enough when he says all thats on the bill is my 'hobbies' - (in a whisper - little does he know!) Loved the motto Rebs - perhaps a kareoke bar would be a good idea for the qld meet up - you could practise the anthem without being thrown out - lol and then put the motto into practice lol jude 3

Good one Jude3 mine little effort No clouds only sunshine No tears only smiles No house cleaning only mouse cleaning Whilst shuffling our GR files Jude2

Lew Lew Idea for a motto - To be human is easy , to be a wattler sublime (the meaning of sublime according to dictionary is as follows: high spiritual, moral or intellectual worth, inspiring and impressive, not to be excelled: supreme) I think all of that applies to my fellow wattlers. Heather haven't seen the advert on SBS will have to take a look, I can assure you if it was me in the ad you all would have known about it! lol. Hope it shows the valley in good way. But if nothing else the plonk is good drinking. jude 3

Hello to all Wattlers, with a special wave to Rebs, well I'm back, tired and poor but it was a great week. My daughters and I have done women proud, we have shopped til we dropped. 14hrs of markets on tuesday and back in the shops wednesday from 10 til 3 leaving just enough time to run for the plane to come home. We all have new sneakers (several pairs) makeup,designer handbags and of course BLING. Just spent ages reading the messages I missed, all 7pages, so now I only have time for a quick 'Hi' and will catch up over the weekend. Good to see the other missing ones have returned and hope the sickies are feeling better. Tony love the anthem, you are so clever. Laurie ,saw your giraffes last sunday but you should see how many there are in HongKong harbour, thousands, all moving at once it was an amazing site. Some one mentioned the drive-ins, my youngest daughter and group of friends go to the Coburg drive-in every sunday night, but these days you cant escape with the speaker, you tune the car radio into get the sound-----thats taken all the fun away , we had quite a collection of speakers...lol Everything crossed for tomorrow night, I could go on the QE2 whenever it suits everyone else...lol GO CATS Bye til i catch up on some work Jude2

Cor, Tony the troubadour !!! So that's how you bide your time sitting at the traffic lights in the city, writing little ditties !!! Love it !!! Judy YV I have been waitng for you to come back on, saw you on the telly the other night - there's a great ad for the Yarra Valley running in SBS at night around 6.30 pm before news or 7pm after the news, gorgeous scenery shots taken around the wineries- and there you are, hiding behind the wine barrels in that big shed down the hill !!! LOL I think it's the cutest ad and you are just great in it! Well where IS this rain, been waiting all week, it went around us and over us and to north and south, and we're still dry as chips. Feel so badly for people who are desperate. Lara I hope you get an email reply. I have found a third family tree related to mine using Ixquick now, so pleased, didn't find them with google.They've all been aussies ones too, second and third cuz'z etc, and I will never follow up with getting certificates etc, but nice to know the family names. I need to jaunt down to Wangaratta cemetery now to say g'day to a few I never knew were there!! Rebs, glad you're back,stick to wattlers and friends, apparantly we're planning a cruise to the Mall in Edmonton (better start saving my pennies...) Good Luck to those with Wattlelotto tickets. And finally, weren't those Eagles good last night (one tip correct!) Have a nice weekend everyone, Heather in Albury

Welcome back to the Wattle Thread Rebs, you were missed. Pat Q,land

Okay, so now we have an anthem. What will our Motto be? Lew Lew xxx

Oooo Tony snuck in while I was typing. Nice song. Not sure about my singing voice (nor Trifely's for that matter) maybe we can hummmmmm. Valley Girl here's a ((HUG)) for you :) Vonny

Great Song Tony, have just sung it aloud - and feel much better - you are a clever lad. Now have a smile on the dial, instead of mrs grumps! We now have a wattle anthem - do we sing it at meets? First outing Yarrawonga. jude 3
