Afternoon Wattlers Mary I ended up marinating the roast in a mixture that had bourbon, soy sauce, water and mixed herbs, then this morning after David went to work I got up and made a slit in the roast and stuffed it with bread crumbs, onion and some more mixed herbs and put it in the slow cooker, mmmmmmmmm smells good hope it tastes the same, dont know what David will think when he walks in and smells the aroma, not to mention the cup of Jim Beam missing from his bottle in the bar hee hee. We are supposed to get a thunderstorm tonight, so we will wait and see, they also say we are getting showers this afternoon, well the washing has been hung out dried and bought in before any moisture has fallen from the sky. It is a muggy 28 degrees at the moment. Better go and fold some clothes up. back after. ~~~~~ to all ~~~~~ Cheers Sue

Good Arvo Wattlers, Our server was down for a few hours yesterday, what a downer when that happens. Lara what a lot of weight to lose so quickly( well done) as long as you feel ok. Safe traveling Thursday. Laurie what a clever poem.... Marlyn had a good chuckle at that Charles joke. A friend has won double tickets to a preview to see the movie Notes of a scandal with Cate Blanchett and Judi Dench this evening, it was shown at an outdoor theatre in Sydney last night according to the radio and had good reveiws. Safe traveling for Anna and Ducky Thursday . Gwenda what gorgeous winter pictures on the power point.. ~~~~~~~~~~ to all the wattlers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ((((((((((( to the sickies))))))))))))) Cheers luv sandra in the Gong

Arvo All . . . Just had a phone call from the Printheth . . . her is in the thick of things as one would expect !!! Her local real estate guy, shot (dead) the guy who was playing up with his wife this morning, then held up in his office in the main street of Mudgee . . . Here was me thinking poor Mudgee how will it cope with the invasion of the Wattlers . . . Seems I dinny have to worry about Mudgee but should worry about my friends going into that rough neighbourhood . . . lol All over now he gave himself up eventually, but Lew wanted to assure you all that it is not normal practise for sleepy little Mudgee !!!! . . . And the queen is just hours away . . . . Hey guys that poem is actually to the tune of 'The Campbells are Coming . . . ' pmsl luv Laurie

Hi everyone and welcome to the new recruit. Poor Girl!! Just want to say a quick enjoy yourselves in Mudgee to all who are going. Have a wonderful meet. Thanks for all your support,I'm almost back on track and the black dog is sleeping peacefully in the black hole by hisself. Congrats to the weight losers. wonderful result. I see that cat's been lurking again Hello puss. Ser Tones thank you for the proclamation. Might have known you'd come up with something. Love and hugz to all. Catch you later in the week perhaps Me

Arvo Wattlers. More Lotto has been sent ( from Leah ) Laurie. I once was in the bush, and shot up a gum tree......... ,,,,,cos there was a mad bull chasin me.....:>))) Orf ta get some sustanance for me kidneys...lol Tony Oz....:>))) Loved ya poem.

The Royal party has just pulled into the temporary royal residence in Mudgee . . . (she said its flippin big) All is well !! luv Laurie xo

Hi Wattlers, Just a bit down today, but Marilyn's Camilla joke cheered me up a bit , think she will fit it just fine. Marilyn, do you mind if I send your email to our group? I will also send you a list of the others. You will then receive heaps of jokes, photos etc. unless you tell us different. We are hoping that we will be able to leave the chickens where they are when we move, and the new owners can have them. If not there will be plenty of chicken soup if any one is interested. Sorry Mary. We could always drop them off at your place on our travels LOL Everyone will either be on their way or packing their bags now, I am trying not to think about it. Who will be around on Saturday and Sunday to chat with? Your know the saying, while the cats are away the mice will play. Just had an agent round to give us an appraisal, but not too happy with it. Neville said, 'well if I give you that amount of money can you buy me a place like this' The agent said no. I think that they had some one in mind with that amount of money to spend. Soon changed their tune when we said no way. Got another one coming on Friday. Talking of real Estate Agents, I just read Neil Jenmans book, he is the agent who warns you about the tricks they get up to. It is a good read if you are about to buy or sell. Hi Donna, good news about the MS, and it's nice to know where your mind is at LOL. Sorry about the arm though. That happened to a friend of mine, the good news is she is fine now, just takes a while. Just imagine, burning old photos. I think that must have happened to all ours, especially Neville's dad's. He had some of when he was in Australia as a young boy, but we lost touch with his brother, who may or may not have them. Does every one have family problems? Ours is quite bad at the moment, that's what is bringing me down. My dad wants too much for his home and neville is going crazy. I just feel like the meat in the middle. I must go, feeding time at the zoo Luv SuzyQ

SusyQ. Yes,mate..I'm sure most of us have family problems, one way or the other......I for one most certainly do. Unfortunatley, there the worst kind of problems.( Family ) I try to just keep smiling.... ( even through gritted teeth sometimes ).....because i refuse to die with high bloodpressure, and stress..like my father. Lots of warm wishes heading your way mate. Tony Oz...:>)))

family probs!!!! mine and poss's parents don't love us(boo hoo) we are well and truely over it. just makes the f/h a bit harder. felt like a fool this arvo. i went out junkmailing - 2/12hours of lovely walk. but got back in the car to go home and it wouldn't start. did what any body else would do, locked it up walked home and had a cuppa. (i checked the fuses, i had petrol) finally rang the nrma and poss took me back. lifted the bonnet and the corrosion round the battery embarrASSED me to the max. car works again. just bit better than before. lovin hugs to everyone. yvette xxxxxxxxxxxx

Let the men sort it out between themselves and make a rule neither of them to speak to you on the subject!!!! AND . . . keep that lovely smile on your dial !!!!
