I hope I survive another week of this.. See ya tamurra as I am having a early night... Love Maryxxxxxxx

Evening all, Glad it has been quiet cos I'm under the weather too - I've got a sore throat but not a cold although bit of coughing - very strange. Had a few CRAFT moments today - 1st one was washing machine - did 2 loads no probs 3rd load water went in, water went out, machine didn't move an inch but went through cycle very quickly for a front loader, opened door and stuff at top was dry, wet at the bottom. Switched everything off while I decided what to do next - do I ring Dave and say we need to go buy a new machine or maybe give it another try. Switched it all back on, set machine, water went in, nothing happened, water went out then next load of water in and hey presto machine kicked into gear and washed like it should - what the....... Let's hope things are better tomorrow - have 2 more loads. Cooking lamb casserole tonight - getting ready to dish up and as I was tidying up about to throw packet mix into bin and guess what I hadn't used the b****y mix - put all the other ingredients in but not the mix - grrrrr - just swished it thru - tasted okay so all ended well but gee ........ 3C had her needle tonight - she is such a good girl at the v-e-t but don't let her in your toilet - she's a terror with the toilet paper -if it's not all over the floor it's shredded - I know she likes to play with the empty roll but just wish she's wait until we are at the end - pmsl Off to do more chores - the ironing keeps piling up so I'd better go do some or some people won't have shirts for work Catch y'all tomorrow Gwenda

How-de-do-de Wattlers Well, it took most of the day but we did it! Or I should say Graeme and Mark did it....the h*******k! The place is glowing like a new pin. Aren't they the bestest little men around? While they were moving stuff to vacuum I decided that a bit of re-arranging wouldn't go astray. Needless to say that thrilled the boys no end....lol Anyway I got them to move the record player, records (big, black, plastic cd's) and cupboard from the lounge to the dinning room. This of course had a bit of a domino effect but the result is a lot better. We now have the player and speakers near a power point and can use it for the first time in 2 years. Hi Jude DIY...I've PM'd you about the key ring. I would love one please. Joodles....have you had a chance to move the jade yet. Crew....oooo...Brown Bros. they make nice wine. Donna....fingers XXXX'd this school helps Daniel. My grandfather's family were carpenters/joiners and built a lot of houses in Bolton. One street where they worked a lot is now called after them....Baxendale Street. Tony....not long now to your holiday. Hi Dragonfly.......let us know if your strange feeling comes to anything. Hz.......your daughter's friends sound like a nice bunch of kids. A good peer group for her to be associated with. Your FH folders sound good.....you should patent the idea. Hi Flakey.....how was the Boy from Oz? We saw it years ago with Tod Makenney and thought it was fabulous. Mary....keep the fluids up and get some rest and you'll get on top of that cold. I hope the MRI gives John some answers. Laurie....how did the acupuncture go? I'm all in tonight....this supervising is very tiring. Sleep well peeps. I'll catch you all in the morning. Toodle ooo love Trifley X

Hi Gwenda....I can sympathise with your craft moments....I have them myself sometimes....lol Glad 3C is ok, she must be if she's bing playful. TX

buggar buggar buggar (sorry) - but I had typed a long screed and went sailing off to look at something else, and lost the b*******y lot. I was sympathising with Mary, Sandra and Gwenda with their colds, and hoping they get better very soon. Trifley with Bowen, Laurie with acupuncture. .. Hope you get some satisfaction and relief. I feel for you Gwenda with the rotten day you had. Honestly - nothing seems to go right these days, certainly not what we plan, anyway Some storm we had today in Sydney (I wouldnt have even known up here in the mountains). .. Laurie may have seen it. Oh soo tired again - rushing around - tsk tsk. I was about to tell Mary not to rush around so much - and as for visitors so soon Mary - what next?? Finally had hair cut today which should have been done last Thursday when I was sick, for the meeting. All tizzied up - nowhere to go - now I'll go off to bed and mess it all up .. pmsl. Too tired to talk more Nite all Love Jood

Evening all..:>)) Nice crisp night in Melbin, and the stars are out. Trifley. I am packed mate....:>))) I have a few CRAFT moments meself sometimes, and asked Barb if she knew where the passports were?.... Ummmm........wer'e only going to Queensland Tony........lol But then....*singing*..Theres no business like show business. There's no Wafflers like our Wattlers Like no Waffling I know. Everything about them is appealing; Everything that GR will allow. Nowhere could you get that happy feeling When i yam Waffling.....a bit like now....:>))) There's no Wafflers like our Wattlers. They smile when they are low. Even with a sickie that will have a cold We may be ageing...... but wer'e not old Still you wouldn't trade them for a sack of gold. Let's go on with the show Let's go on with the show! Tony Oz..:>))))

Love that one mate - hope you didnt hear me singing. .. pmsl Loved that about you asking for your passport .. hahaha - In case I miss you before you leave - have a wonderful holiday both of you and come back safe. And as Laurie says, dont forget to put your empties in each corner up there. Jood

Oh goody, some waffling. :) For about 4 hours or so there I thought I'd killed the thread!!!!! Gwenda - Tia saves the toilet paper trick for when she is really annoyed with us and then she deliberately goes and shreds it! Mary and other sickies - hope you all get a good night's sleep. Sweet dreams ~~~~~~~~~Vonny PS Tony, that's really clever. I think it should be out Wattle anthem :)

Hiya Joodle......:>))) Jus playin wif me dead people mate. Got over 3,000 of E'm now..........sad arnt i.......lol Might open up me own graveyard soon. Nite mate. Tony Oz...:>))) Hiya Vonny......:>))

A Joke. One day, a saleswoman promoting a certain brand of brushes knocked on a front door of a house. An old man answered the door, and she asked to see his wife, so the guy told her that she wasn't home. 'Well,' the woman said, 'could I please wait for her?' The man directed her to the drawing room and left her there for more than three hours. After feeling really worried, she called out for him and asked, 'May I know where your wife is?' 'She went to the cemetery,' he replied. 'And when is she coming home?' 'I don't really know,' he said. 'She's been there eleven years now.' :>)))))

Good night Wattlers Tony - with jokes like that I think you need a holiday! Hope you have a great time. I know Queensland is way oop North but believe me, we will let you in here without a passport! So many Wattlers under the weather - hope you are all feeling better soon. Trifley - you can send Graeme and Mark up here and I'll give them some H......k to do! Aren't they terrific, bless them. I broke my right arm a few years ago and poor Chris had to do everything. He keeps telling me - don't have a fall! He doesn't want to be lumbered with the h....k again! Sleep tight etc etc Anna

Good morning, where is everyone????? Its 9.13 and we are way down the pages somewhere - I got back to page 9 and still couldn't find us Throat is still sore - but I slept well - don't know whether I'm getting a cold out of this - weird Off for a shower - waiting for the fog/low cloud whatever it is to clear before I do last couple of loads - hope machine does the right thing today.
