Hi Trifley - its weird weather. .. I was freezing earlier on, had the heater on at 4.30 - now at 9.10 - no heater, and I'm not cold. Very unpredictable. I think Tony likes Chinese too .. pmsl Jood

Evening All Just dashing through - busy week with eisteddfod. All going well. Tony - hope your Mum had a happy birthday and that the chinese was delicious. Sending pats to all the poor cats who are indisposed and hope they are OK. Not long until Sydney meet - hope you are feeling better Shazz. Devley- not too many more days to count down. Cheer up mate - have a stiff scotch and swear a lot! Lew - how do you make your potato and parsnip mash? I love parsnip and it sounds great. Hope the new bub and the rest of the family are doing well Laurie. I lost the photo site off my favourites when we had computer problems - could you please remind me what it is so I can view the new little man. Hi Jood - sound as if you need a stiff scotch and a good swear too. You get those days. Sounds as if Lara had one too with the bleeding cheese cake going all over the van. Poor Lara. You know what I'm going to say - have a stiff scotch and a good swear! Heather - lovely to hear your daughter did so well in the eisteddfod. Congratulations to her. I just love listening to all the kids play - they are an inspiration and you know from your own experience how much hard work goes into every performance. No word from the travelling Wilson as yet. Hello Wilson if you drop in. Hi Mary - hope John went OK today. He has to be right for the big move Hello to everyone else. Catch you all tomorrow. Cheers Anna

Oooo yummy parsnip lol (was a good thread that) I love parsnip also Anna :) Well, trying again for an early-ish night so catch ya round like a rissole :) ~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Night Vonny Knock knock Who's there Parsnips Parsnips who? Pa snips tickets at the railway station Boom boom Must be time for bed....... By the way - there's a thread on the main board about telling your most embarrassing moment. Do you think we should start that topic within the Wattlers thread. As we know one another, it should be hilarious! I have one in mind but I'll only tell it if every one else agrees to tell theirs! :>)) Anna

night everybody, I like parsnip mash, chinese and also could help clean up the cheescake splatters - no probs! Almost started writing the most embarrassing moment, but more kept springing to mind. Maybe you should lead the way Anna. lots of love Yvette xxx

That site is historical I mean hysterical Anna - that Rosi is a card!!! Good idea, go for it - meanwhile I will try and remember what I've done ! Nite all (Yvette & Anna that is) Jood

Funny sort of a day, for me that is, g.son spotted his copy book again, got called up to the school, this is his first day back after suspension, this child has probs, I will sort the little b. out, he is a great kid. Yesterday was the first anniversary of my mums death, on my mind a bit, of course you can't say anything about that whilst you're sitting with school councellors talking about g.son but thinking also of your own mum, bugger, doesn't matter just being a bit silly luv Jilx, thanks

I thought Ihad told you all this one my very most embarrasing moment from 1to 3 Anna good idea so here's a few to get us started 1/ Was when I took my daughter Melissa to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Pantomine,and after the show we were standing outside as some of the people from the show were there signing the programs Snow white signed Melissas program and the she gave it to the queen and she signed it then a boy took the program and I said I'm sorry that belongs to my little girl and he said 'Yes I was going to sign it I was Sleepy the Dwarf, OMG I wished the footpath would have swallowed me I thought he was kid trying to steal Lissa's program LOL ' 2/ was when Cassie and Josh were about 8 and 10 we were staying at the time share in Yarrawonga before we moved there and they wanted to go to the water slide over in Mulwala so as there dad was watching a movie I said I'll take you, I had bathers on and and a sun dress with shirring on the top no straps and when we got there I bought the tickets for the slide and then went to lie down on the grass on a towel, ............ what I didn't remember was I had taken the top of my bathers down as they were rubbing and as I was just sitting in the unit I hadn't pulled them back so when I pulled my dress of and looked down I was naked to my waist, there was three young boys sitting about 5 mtres away leaning against the toilet wall I was facing them and I nearly died the were just staring at me with horrified looks on there faces, and I don't think they took a drink from their stubbies for fully five mins which was how long it took me to drop to the ground from where I never moved till it was nearly dark when the kids came back and Cassie said 'MUM what did you do that for'? Omg it wasn't funny at the time but we have laughed about it a lot since . 3/ was when I was driving my daughter Melissa to the Drs and was sitting waiting to do a right hand turn when a truck pulled up there was traffic jam ahead of it it was going in the opposite direction and it had cows in it, it was a very hot day and there was no airconditioning in our car in those days of very limited finances... well I'm sitting there thinking we are going to be late for this appointment even though we were outside the Dr's surgery when avery large cow decide it needed to relief itself and boy did it ever both ways and it was so close to our car it came straight thru my window all over me both wee and poo I was covered in it and Melissa who was about 8 nearly died laughing and I just nearly died and we never doid make the appointment there have been others far too many I would say but they are the ones the kids remember and laugh about love Lara

Ah Jilly I feel for you . . . those anniversaries are hard aren't they. Something must be really bothering your little grandson, or maybe it is someone! I hope you get it sorted soon for his sake as well as yours. OK Anna - you asked for it . . . . my biggest secret! Shhh dont tell anyone I was 7 years old, and my teacher was Miss Miles - the head of the primary school. A scary lady, not near as nice as my teacher the first two years I was at school, because that teacher was my eldest sister Joanie. Anyway I had a cut under my foot from stepping on a chop bone in the chook yard so I couldn't play sport. It was sports day and Miss Miles made me go to her office and do school work that she set for me while everyone else went to sports. She left me with instruction I was not to leave her office for any reason - but I wanted to pee, so I used her electric jug. . . . . She came back and made us both a cup of tea . . . she drank hers, and I told her my mum didn't let me drink tea. Most embarrasing moment . . . I'm about 13yrs old - first time I ever went water skiing, was on my best friends property, I was doing real well, only thing was I didn't straighten my legs, and had the old drag your bum syndrome!! When we got back onto the shore of the dam, among dozens of friends and neighbours the full effect of the flush out took me by suprise. The biggest bowel clean out you could ever imagine!! I still shudder when I think of it !!!!! I think I hid from everyone for weeks. Good night all luv Laurie PS - I'm not going to Bathurst tomorrow either . . . Ray suggested tonight we should go together on Sunday - so no bubby snuggles till then !!!

Oh Lara honey, I had one of them too . . . Neices wedding - out on the property near Cobar, Glen was 6months old. I had on a dress with ties on the shoulder, and didn't need to wear a bra in them days. Little blighter undid the tie without me knowing it - naked to the waist - its all right there on the wedding video - and dont the family love to show that one luv Laurie

Evening..Ummmm.....morning ( seeeing its 1:30 am )..lol Just reading Lara and Laurie's most embarrassing moments, and what classics they are...lol My most embarrassing moment was my 24th birthday. We had only been married for 4 months, and that evening about 6:00pm Carolyn took me out to do some shopping at Myers, and to buy me a gift for my birthday. We were living in a rented flat in Bell street Preston, while we were waiting for our new house to be built. While we were in Myers, Carolyn bought a sexy black negligee ( as ya do if you are newlyweds ) and said to me, do you think i would look good in this?.......Well being a red blooded Ozzie bloke, i said ......you betcha......lol We did a bit of shopping and drove back to the flat. She got out of the car and told me to wait here, while she went inside. I thought...( its my birthday ) and she's going to put on the Black negligee...and surprise me...lol So me thinking...o'k, Il'e surprise her....so i crept around the back of the unit, and got in through the laundry door. I stripped naked as a jay bird...lol.......opened the Laundry door to the kitchen, and ran screeeeeeeaming into the lounge room.( SURPRISE!!....ooops ) Well.........the lights flicked on ( in the lounge room )....and there stood all my mates, there girlfriends, my family, and the next door neighbours who we had just met, with balloons and streamers........ It was a surprise party for me......say no more ( blush ) Tony Oz....:>)))) ps. Well, i was in my birthday suit.....lol

Good morning you hilarious lot of Wattlers You have all made me giggle this morning - thanks for sharing. OK. Here's mine. Newly married, 21 years old and on our honeymoon. Had driven up a mountain to a scenic lookout - miles from anywhere, and the view of the ocean was just magnificent. So, carried away by the beauty of the moment and by lust, OH and I started to get amorous. For some reason, I suddenly looked up, and right next to our car was a huge bus - full of tourists - and at every window was a pair of eyes looking down at us. I nearly died. There I was stripped to the waist providing entertainment for the tourists. I was so embarrassed. I just said to OH - he was fortunately still in the driver's seat - 'Just put the car into reverse and get out of here.' My only consolation was that we were a long way from home and I was fairly sure no one would have recognised me! Oh, those were the days! :>) Anna

Morning all another fine day in Q'land. not me deleting, can they just disappear, seems a bit strange though. Laurie, congratulations to your lovely family for their new baby and wasn't that a beautiful thing to say about shades of blue. Hopefully g.son will knuckle down and behave himself today. I must do some h--wk I've been so involved with him all week the place is in a right mess. luv Jillx

Good morning Joodles, Good morning Mary, cor blimey - more papers to sign (more dead trees) . . . Good morning Jude DIY . . . Good morning Anna - now we know why you cringe when you see a bus load of tourists . . . Good morning Jilly . . . Good morning Wafflers all . . . A very wet day here on Botany Bay, can't see the giraffes, can just make out the ouline of a ship being escorted into the Port, but everything else is just smuggy lights. some silly duffer left the cushions on the chairs on the balcony last night - very wet and soggy now. Twasn't me deleting the numbers . . . only ever deleted things I was uncomfortable with having written. (And a couple once when someone was playing silly buggers) And that was yonks ago! Had my heart set on being in Bathurst this morning, so to console myself I am going for some retail therapy. Westfield sounds good - out of the weather! What are you up to today Joodles ??? Krissy & Ben are going home from hospital this morning, silly girl is looking forward to it . . . . She does have a well trained Lance at home though, and the other boys, particularly the eldest Jamie, are very well house trained. PMSL Tony, I have been one of the suprise party when the birthday girl wrapped herself up with bows for her boyfriend . . . the best laughs of my life - thought my side seams were going to come apart and the stuffing fall out !!! How are things on the Gold Coast Trifley ??? You thrifty little devil . . . What you need is an electric cow prod to get the bustling crowd out of your way! Or you could try carrying a sign 'Tax Collector', 'Mad Woman' or 'Make Love not War' should make the pathway clear for you. Till those nice young men in their clean white coats come to take you away. (Now there's a thought !!) How about you Tassie, did you get the magic wand out last night and get rid of your trubs ?? Hope its all better this morning. ((hugs)) How are you now Shaz ??? Hope Rob is taking good care of you. Will catch up with you all a little later in the day cheers luv Laurie

Yes, I meant to say thanks for making me laugh this morning, keep them coming. I know I have had some moments too, can't think of them at present but if you hear a loud screech it's me remembering something, now will I tell? Jillx
