I would have loved to have been at the meet but glad I didnt as OH is not in a fit state to travel that far at the moment..

Night Tassie, sweet dreams :-))))))))))

Hi Everyone Hope you all had a good time at the meet, lucky bliters. Had a wrotton week, everything is dying. First the tele blew up, then my oven came out in sympathy with tele, grill works, oven no, then the car decided it needed a vacation at the garage. Had to buy new tele and oven, tipical when he´s away, don´t suppose I´ll see any financial contribution from him, the French are as tight as a ducks a...se Oh well it can only get better Take care everyone, speak to you later when I´m in a better mood At least the sun is shining Marilyn

Good Morning Wattlers Boy we had a muggy night last night it was 20 degrees at 6.00am very unusual for Tassie, but the good thing is we finally got some rain was nearly asleep and I all of a sudden heard a noise ........ yes it was rain yipee, but didnt cool it down any :-(. today is cloudy we are expecting morning showers but we have probably already had them during the night. ~~~ to Marilyn, nice to see you pop in, stick around and we will brighten your mood :-) Well Im going for my morning walk, see you when I get back. Cheers Sue

Morning Sue, Morning Marliyn............. Good Moooorning Wattlers!! Good morning Ladies……and Tony! Hope all the Mudgeeites are fit, sober lol and well! Wasn’t about yesterday, not been too bright. Finally managed to take the dog for a walk in the park. It was bright and dry about 12c nice weather for a Scot (Mary I did have a bowl of porridge before I went out, have it Every morning! And porridge as well)lol Phoned my Mum today in Glasgow, started chatting about where I was with my Genealogy, within the next hour she rhymed off about 7 new names and about photo’s my cousin has that didn’t have any meaning/relevance to date!! Can’t beat hearing it from someone close, Mother is 88 and memory like a razor, so I’ve had a great day all round for a change. Suzy and Jood (and anyone else that’s interested) if they want I will PM recipe’s for Aromatherapy mixture’s for the legs. (I also have treated friends, cat/dog etc. for trembling, arthritis, eczema, gout, muscle pain etc). Haven’t seen news or read a paper since last Thursday so no idea what’s happening out there, I think the media just trumps up any old *rap that comes to mind. Nearest I’ve been to Ozz was when I went to Hong Kong for a month over xmas and New Year a long time ago. What a fascinating place, even got chased by some men waving axes and machetes shouting “White Devil” what a laugh, so just went to nearest bar in Kowloon! Well going downstairs for a cuppa, Coronation St. is just finished so wife will be heading to bed to watch CSI drivel etc. Catch you’s later! Dreekie

Hi Wattlers You have mail :-))))))))))) Catxx

Morning Dreekie and Cat. Got back from my walk, warmer out there than I thought, the clouds gave a faulse sense of cool :-( doing to do some fh today so I will be about, had a contact through her on one of my small twigs, but a connection none the less, so off to check on notes and send off info to each other. Cheers Sue

Thought that comp. was slow or time of nite why so slow, just noticed size of thread!! No wonder!! its trying to reply to database the size NSW Dreekie

Got it in one Sue!!! :-))))) Wattlers need own GR site!! To much waffling, I think but good fun! Cause there's no bitching, all laughs as per heading!! Catch uze all latte,r off to bed as K*ackered at 01:20 See's uze later @ afternoon!.............. Nite Dreekie

oops just missed Dreekie, (belated hi) I was wondering why it took so long. thought it was because of the distance to the uk and back-duurrrr. where are the mudgeeites. still sleeping it off.I haven't seen the pictures! is it because i've lost the addy for the place over the fence? nice paint job cat , come on over ,bring the swimmers and your paintbrush. aww marilyn its not the nationality trust me on that. its called Enhanced Purse Preservation Method. i'm going to catch on one day. only tassie and fanny left . is ya splashing in the pool Mary? catch ya love Yvette x

Hi all you fantastic Wattlers..Hot today and looking forward to winter..(cant please some) Always have to complain about the weather... Fanny Email Vonny and she might have lost you email addy.. If you email her she will have it to send the pickles..They are lovely..I love your Enhanced Purse Preservation method.. I suffer from that also..pmsl,,don't know what it means but sound FANTASTIC,,,lol Cat.. Thanks for the pickles,, Room looks lovely but an unusual combination for a young lady to choose..Mine always wanted lilac or pale green or pink,,the usual boring colours.. It looks really nice,,congratulations.. Dreekie This is the only thread that has never had any bitching.. We are all the best of friends and a very close knit circle.. We have mostly met each other but when we have a meet its like we have known each other for years and enjoy the company..We love it when others drop in to chat and most have been just as mad as us..and fit in very nicely..Take Merle for instance.. She has only been with us a short time but she is madder than all of us so she fitted in instantly and has made us all a little madder.. which we love..she has brighten our lives a lot..by the way How do you cook your porridge,,, Tassie Seems like you are having a day like us,,hot,,We had a muggy night also and it was to hot to sleep, so I got up and putered for a little while.. Hi Marilyn,, Looks like its recycle time at your house..its amazing how it always happens at once.. I think the manufacturers have a plan to make us renew every so often..nothing lasts these day and you never get anything repaired as that is more expensive than buying a new one..get a new lot and send him the bill,, cheer up and enjoy the retail therapy... Vonny Thanks for the pickles they are lovely.. Just loved the cake..lolTrifley getting her revenge,,lol hope it tasted good.. Busy with OH today who wanted to go shopping and lunch at the Club across the road,, OH walked there and back and seems to have survived OK..lunch was nice(Chinese and a lot of other things) and only cost $8.50 and the plate is huge..More than I can eat, I don't think I have finished a plate yet..wine is lovely,, A River Gum Chardy by McWilliams,, quite yummy..and only $12,50,, Hope you are all rested after the weekend..back later Love Mary xxxx

So on that note will catch you later. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cheers Sandra in the Gong

Hi honey's I'm home - got home aaaaaaaaaaaaages ago, like just after 10.00am, but only time to toss all my stuff on the kitchen floor, change and race down street to a meeting, after which another long drive for an appt, and now at 4:25pm I'm finally sitting down, shoes off, and one very very tired girl. Mary its a 3 hour drive for me to Mudgee - that included stopping at Maccas for a free coffee and filling up with petrol. I left Lew's at 7.00am, having said goodnight to them the night before, and packed as much of my stuff as I could so I wouldnt be noisy. Lew was taking Jude Flakey to the airport for Melbourne, then going to the hotel to change, eat, whatever, and then to the international airport to meet Terry about 9.45 I think she said, so she may not be home till late tomorrow. Telstra was supposed to arrive this morning - woe betide them if they didn't show up!!!!!!!!!!! Shhhhhhh!!!! Please don't tell Lew. I got lost in town today, after she showed me especially how to get home from Mudgee, and what happened, I didn't have a clue where I was! My excuse was the sun was rising and shining in my eyes, and the car was fogging up - is that a good excuse? Reckon she'll believe me??? Moo, Lew's cat is quite a character, very loud (male of course), and talks to her!!! Quite friendly to us all though. Both cat and dog disappeared when the party was on tho ! (I'm not surprised). Well - enough from me, I'll let the others have a go, I'm sure some of them would be home by now. Love Jood
