Sorry guys - I didnt mean to frighten you with my blood tests, I was really just feeling sorry for myself having to go without breakfast. Blood tests (I asked for them myself) were just for the usual diabetic, cholesterol, kidneys, liver etc. The Drs these days rarely suggest this. I also had an ultra sound on the veins in my legs (my choice again) - after that scare at xmas when my legs swelled up. As it happened, I could have both tests done in the same lot of buildings in Penrith. Sorry to disappoint you - but I crawled into Maccas for brekky (mainly coz I wanted to use the loo) lol I'd already had a panicked txt from Laurie, and while I was in the car about to drive off - her sister rang up with strict instructions to find out what was wrong (and let Laurie know). Awwww - sorry Anna hope the funeral goes well tomorrow. I've been thinking that if my ex wants me to, I would go to Perth and help sort things out with my MIL's estate, but he's on the road to Perth - was in Sth Oz this morning. Have to ask my daughters to pass on the msg. More than likely he will refuse my offer - but at least the thought was there. I felt it was the least I could do for my ex MIL. Poor ole thing. Oh Jude3 YV - for goodness sake take notice of the Dr. I have had 3 hernia ops and one was definitely caused by me stubbornly trying to drag a chest of drawers upstairs by myself. Its just not worth it. Have a good evening all Jood

Hi Jude3Yv Oh, you poor thing, no more heavy lifting or vacuuming. You must be devestated lol heeee :o) Wish I could get my Doctor to say that. All jokes aside.......... it must be uncomfortable in bed at night. No more midnight snacks with loads of garlic for you. A healing hug for you <<<<o>>>>. love Trifley

Hi Tony email received. By this time next week we'll probably all be swanning around in some swank resort with our winnings!! GLad your tests went OK Jude. Good news about the vacuuming etc!! I thought you had to sleep with the head of the bed raised if you had a hiatus hernia - did he tell you that? It's to stop reflux. Gold Lotto in Qld always gets abbreviated to 'goloddo' - we Queenslanders can't talk proper you know! How are you Joodles? Hope today went OK. I guess you will be talking to us again after you've had something to eat. The blokes are still here shoving stuff around inside the ceiling. They have some of the tiles off the roof at the moment and it's very overcast so it will probably bucket down any minute and we'll think we're in Innisfail. Those poor wretches up there - how do you start all over again? Hi Babs - pop in and say hello to us - we like visitors in Oz. We even have T.V. ads begging people to come here!! We will be in Brisbane tomorrow - my daughter Katherine is in the middle of exams but she regarded M I L as her Grandma and in fact M I L was her only surviving Grandparent so she is feeling the loss and has time off her exam schedule to attend the funeral. Catch you all later XX Anna

Hi Wattlers A friend passed this on to me and I am passing it on to all of you. A few words of wisdom. love Trifley 1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. 2. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older their conversational skills will be as important as any others. 3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. 4. When you say, 'I love you,' mean it. 5. When you say, 'I'm sorry,' look the person in the eye. 6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married. 7. Believe in love at first sight. 8. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. 9. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. 10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. 11. Don't judge people by their relatives. 12. Talk slowly but think quickly. 13. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, “Why do you want to know”? 14. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 15. Say 'bless you' when you hear someone sneeze. 16. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. 17. Remember the three R's: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions. 18. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. 19. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. 20. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice. 21. Spend some time alone.

Ooo thanks Tony, just received the numbers. Well, they certainly look lucky. Suppose I'd better check with Spider, that's if I can find the little bugger!!! lol, Lew Lew xxx

Just a quick visit. I just checked my 'Bloody ad' thread. I, obviously, don't have the skills to run a good, controversial thread. Only 19 posts ............and some of them were from ME! Where is Rebs when you need her? Trifley

Arvo Wattlers Hi Tony....I hope some of Barbs luck rubs off on us all for Saturday Fingers XXX Gwenda.........I like using 'WORD' too. Mark (son) has a lap top and it isn't on his either. I wonder why? Is it possible to put it on a new lap top if I have the original disc? Perhaps Tony knows?? I don't, I'm just a (_?_) as far as putas go. Couldn't resist using one of the emoticons ha ha. Se y'all later. Big wave. love Trifley

Thanks Tony - got it Gwenda

Wattlers......You have Email....lol Tony Oz...:>)).....good luck

Good afternoon Wattlers, Trifly - get a laptop - that's all I use now. Well son paid to upgrade the computer so technically that's his. Only downside to laptop is that OH comes home from work and says 'let me know when you've finished there so I can have a game'. Before he could get on the puta and I could stay put here. Do find it annoying to type on tho - letters that don't appear even though I swear I pressed them but so much easier to take on hols if need be. Tony - love the Wattlelotto name - most appropriate. When I watch the Biggest Loser will I see your name pop up as a winner or did you put it in Barb's name in which case it will definitely be a winner - lol Lara - enjoy the pool - I've had to dig out the cardigan and ugg boots. Better move myself, was going to be so good today and get lots of h****w**k done but not really done as much as I thought. Still when you find a new cousin you seem more inclined to dig a bit further to satisfy each other's curiosity of how and when they got to SA. Hi to everyone else Gwenda Joodles - hope all your tests went well and you have a lovely meal afterwards.

Afternoon everyone, Is the the wattle groups month for propping up the health system with patients? Just got results on Monday from ultrasound (had last week) all good - nothing showed up - and no it wasn't on my head! But have since found out that doc has been treating me for duodenal ulcer and haven't got one - apparently have a hiatus (?) hernia. Was wondering why medication wasn't seeming to be doing any good. Anyway told me no heavy lifting - I tried to look angelic and say of course not (I was only lifting 10 sheets of structafloor panels 2400 x 900mm on sunday - nothing at all heavy!!) so I'm on light duties and was told no vacuuming - I always wanted to be told that! and definitely no lifting. Hope your results are all clear too Jood. Glad Laurie is back with us, and hopefully is having a wonderful time. Hang on to that money spider Lew, don't rub him too hard for luck - lol. We need it for Wattlelotto. Sorry can't stay long today - work is manic, have spent the day trying to read the last 5 days messages to catch up on everyones news. Waves to everyone & says hi - have a good night - catch u tommorrow Jude 3yv

Hi Everyone. Yes....Lara is right. Its called Saturday night .Gold Lotto..in Queensland ( just did a 'google' ).......and Barb also reminded me when we were in Q.L.D we went to put on Tattslotto ( what its called in Vic. ) but found it was called something else..in Q.L.D 6 numbers and 2 supplementry, drawn......from 45 numbers. Saturday Lotto Most popular Australian 'pick six' lottery known by various names in different States of Australia. Syndicated through Australia Lotto Bloc, the Saturday night game is known as 'Tattslotto' in Victoria, Tasmania, NT and ACT, 'Gold Lotto' in Queensland and as 'Lotto' in South Australia and Western Australia. Saturday Lotto (45 numbers) costs $0.45 per game, plus commission. I will try to remind who's turn it is.......if i remember...:>)) If we hit the big one on Saturday night.......it is possible i may have a CRAFT moment.......and leave the Country....please forgive me...:>(((.....LOL.....but you will find me....cos i will be at the PRO in Kew....offering to buy the place...Ha ha Tony Oz.....laughing about the spider

Lew I have spent a bit of time on a farm too. But I would rather clean out a cow shed after milking or clean an animal ready for eating than have a spider on me. I could be laying in bed and see the tiniest of spiders on the ceiling away from the bed, David would have to kill it incase it dropped on me in the middle of the night. Yes I,m a scaredy cat and I'll admit it. pmsl

Chicken, lol !!!. He's just a little spider. Don't forget I'm a farm girl. We're used to yuckier things than that! Like brown snakes, black snakes, goannas, funnel web spiders, dead livestock, bushfires, drought, etc., etc. lol. Lew Lew xxx

Lew Lew If that spider went down my top, my top wouldnt be on now :-0

Hi Again Tony yes Wattlelotto sounds great. With you getting the first ticket for Saturday night it would be Tattslotto not Oz Lotto, is that correct?? Anna could you forward the ad to me please. I also have one that is a bit rude it is about emoticons and it uses the word A**e for each emoticon. If you want a look let me know and I can forward it . Cheers Sue

Just discovered money spider is a boy. I just found him down my top!!!!!! pmsl. Lew Lew

$10,000 or an iPod Nano, Trifely. And, no, puter is clean!!! Spider is just lots of luck. Hey, it's about time Tony & Barb shared a bit of their luck!!!! Lew Lew x

Hi Tony Love the name of the syndicate. Bloody bewdy, mate! Lew Lew has asked my question.......is that Oz lotto? Am looking forward to our first round of numbers. What are you going to win with Subway? Lew Lew.......is the spider a sign of money or a sign that your puta needs dusting lol? Poor you.........with Tony & Barb's winning luck you stand little chance of winning Subway. love Trifley
