Happy Birthday, Jood. Looks like you're going to have good weather for that barbie! Have a wonderful day. Actually, the transcription of that Will only took about an hour and a half, but I did get Terry to help with a couple of bits that I just couldn't read. Anyway, if anyone else has any old documents they need help with, let me know. I think Pam is busy with the census, Jood. Wasn't she handing out forms? How's everyone else doing?

Thank you all so much for your support, particularly this past two weeks - I am blessed to have you all as friends. Thank you so much for the transcription Lew, your a treasure. (but I didn't need the transcription to know that). Welcome Lorraine, nice to have you on the thread, you have stumbled across a group of wonderful people, they are just like a bunch of plastic flowers . . . . UNREAL !!! I'll be back later, but have to duck off and do some shopping for Marie, before Oni leaves to go back to West Wyalong. Catch you all later - cheers luv Laurie

Running in to say Happpy Birthday Jood, have a lovely day!!! see ya all love Yvette xxx

Morning Wafflers Laurie...big hugs. Aaahhh...shopping....that's the way! A bit of retail therapy does wonders. I'm going to do a bit myself today. Graeme has finished the washing so we are going in to Robina for a wander around and a little window shopping. it'll be good to get out of the house for a while. Mary....not long now to the big move. I bet you'll be glad when it's all over. Crew...you and Terry make a great pair at this certificate reading. Maybe you could go into business with it? Graeme says he thought that years ago solicitors were paid by the word. Is that right? My bewdiful bunch of yellow flowersa is still looking good. I love them. Big hugs to you and Terry. Hi Yvette...what are you playing with today? I'd best go and make myself bewdiful to go to Robina. I'll catch up with you all later. Hugs to all the wonderful Wattlers. love Trifley X

Afternoon Wattlers. The sun's shining, but there's a nasty cold wind! No problems, Laurie and Jood. As I say, I could read most of it and they still use that language today when doing Wills! Now Trifles, we country Solicitors only charge $150 - $200 per hour and that's only for advice. Other things like conveyancing and Wills are pretty cheap. Not that I care any more, heeee, heeeee, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Well, I'm off to read my book for a while. Seeya Lew Lew xxx

Hellooooo Wattlers, Well firstly Happy Birthday to the Bewdiful Joodiful, hope you have a happy day and can do whatever your heart's desire. And also a Belated Happy Birthday to Lovely Lara, hope your day was great ! I've been away a while, did read some pages at start of last week then got busy, will try to go back a bit now and catch up on everybody, have to know who's been naughty and nice lol. Trifley, so glad you are out and about, the old cabin fever is no good, now don't overtire yourself flashing the plastic and let Graeme carry the parcels ! Talk about catching, I've just been googling 'face slap virus' - our early morning staffer has 2 littlies diagnosed with it and now I've scared him by finding out it's contagoius and adults can get it lol. I'd never heard of it, there you go, another childhood disease that's not very common any more. Not at all good to hear about a preschool outbreak of TB !! I remember having a screen for TB by x-ray while at school in the late 50's early 60's. Must have been enough around then to warrant it. Someone mentioned eels, I remember catching them in our creek when we were kids, our Melbourne visitors would take them back in a bucket for some immigrants in their street who adored them. I'd love to find out if there are still eels in our creek, so much good tree growing has been done by Landcare in the district I grew up in, I wouldn't be surprised if the creek has got spotted trout and eels in it again. I had a very enjoyable week at the Drama section of the Eisteddfod last week, Darlin' Daughter ( who is 15 as of last Sat) did fantastically well in her piece and they got the highest mark the edjudicator gave all week, so she was rapt. She also did 15 hours of volunteering, stage managing, announcing, and sitting with the adjudicator helping with the paperwork, she loved it all. This week is Music, I think her school choirs will be on Thursday or Friday. And a Science project is due. And the Japanese exchange students have just left. Oh my gosh, no wonder 1950 feels like yesterday lol ! I havn't looked at a dead persons for weeks, so might have to get the files out tonight and plan the next search. Have a great afternoon everyone ~~~~~~ Hz in Albury~~~~~~~

Afternoon all Am I correct in thinking that 10700 went by unnoticed and without a fanfare of trumpets trumpeting and canons firing and balloons popping etc etc!! Shame, shame, shame!! Wattlers - you are all slipping! I come on here after having been out all morning and I was gob smacked to say the least! No Puddy, no Rebs - no one at all! Birthday hugs for our Joodles. Don't drink too many martoonis. Hope you have a nice time shopping Trifley. There's sure to be a good coffee shop there as well! I'm about to have a late bite of lunch so will catch up later. Love Anna
