Lyn, Yvette, Sandra etc etc Jood

Hello to my favourite wafflers I've had a lovely but exhausting day today. As Graeme had today off we decided to go out to lunch. It was an ab-so-loot-lee bewdiful day here on the GC. The sun was shining in a bright, blue sky and there was a gentle, cool breeze. The only thing to marr the day was the hoardes of uncontrolled kids roaming around Robina. Today was Ekka Day for school kids sooo...why weren't they there instead of racing through the shops? Anyway....we had a nice day inspite of the little darlings. Healing hugs to Gwenda, Mary, Cat person, Crew and Joodles. I hope you all feel better soon. Crew...why is Terry skiing nude? He'll need a merkin...pmsl. Yaaayyy Vonny...going to Mudgee!!!! Tell John I'll bring grandma's family artifact so he can get a closer look. Are you going to stay at a motel? Hi SuzyQ...how are ya? Devily....sons and driving lessons....been there, done that, had the nervous breakdown...lol Jude3...isn't it wonderful when the offspring want to move? Mark ALWAYS seemed to pick places where we had to lug stuff up flights of stairs. Tony...we went to a play which was called 'Hotel Sorento'. It was set in Sorento, Victoria. I believe it was based on a hotel in that area. I like the Mudgee song...you are a clever little bloke aren't you? It's dinner time so I'll be off.....crumbed lamb cutlets...yuuummm Toodle Love Trifley X

Morning everyone :-) Jude3 and Tony hope you enjoy your holidays. Hope all sickies get better :-) (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))) SuzyQ if your thinking of spring cleaning pls be careful. I did Alex's bedroom on Sunday, Jess's bedroom on Monday and spent 11 hours and 15 mins (yes I was clock watching pmsl) in hospital yesterday until they finally let me out lolol. Those nebulisers are a wonderful thing, all that fresh air and I dinny have to leave my bed hehe. Went to the doctors fully expecting an 'you've got a chest infection' and to be sent home with anti-biotics only to be told 'shall I phone for an ambulance or can you make your own way there' 'eh, what???' :-s. Had to make a quick couple of phone calls to make sure the kids had someone to look after them. So I got a ride in an ambulance to but no new naws. Got to hospital was booked in sent to GPassessment unit and was in bed with obs done, blood taken and oxygen mask on by 9:45. Saw doctor a couple of hours later, had ecg thingy. By now it was dinnertime, I had a sandwich, was funny lift mask up take bite put mask down while chewing and swallowing lolol. Had x-ray at 4:25 (told you I was clock watching lol) Then when I came back I dinny bother with the mask as my breathing was a lot better and it's kind of addictive lol. Had to was to see registrar then which I finally did at 8:30 then left unit at 8:45. The diagnosis was a wait for it................................ chest infection lol Have to go back today for antibiotics and inhaler as the pharmacy was closed by then. Not much more news except I can still go to Scotland yipppppeeeeeeeee :-)))))))))))))))))) ~~~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~~~ Catxxx

Hi ya all, I've been extremely busy, I don't function well on extremely busy because that means I have to prioritise. - sorry guys, you all got prioritised. Just went to add a reply, talk about killing a thread, the whole thing went dead as a 1881 relo. just wanted to say thanks for the funnies etc. they make me feel loved! am thinking of you all. The people I see at work are still asking me about the weekend, hope you are psychic - ly aware of all the nice things I've said I was assessed today for upgrade of quals. tomorrow anatomy test, another on the weekend and essay due monday. I ache and I'm a whinger. Had a laugh, will Terry be wearing the Merkin or Wattie? The mind boggles. When i get back to being a normal ol' fanny, I would like to know the dates of the Mudgee doodaa, I'll tell you for sure. love from Yvette xx

Hi Wattlers... 3 glasses of wine and I feel like I have had 5 of Trifleys Martoonies...Good job not going on holidays with Tony,, would send him broke the first day...LOL I hope to bring OH to the Mudgee meet but a lot depends on his MRI and the results.. If anyone is booking get me a double room and if OH dosent come I still will and enjoy the luxurey of a room to myself.. Keep me in mind when making enquiriers.. Cat glad you are on the mend with the correct medication..Dont worry about Lew Lews magic pills,, she is to busy enjoying herself down in Bright.. Well I am off to bed and hope I am better in the morning.. Love Maryxxxxxxx

Evening Wattlers What a sorry little bunch of Wattlers you all are. You all need a hip flask of Southern Comfort. A good swig on the hour every hour and you'll kill any bug around. I have had to take over the Wattlers Medical Advisory Service from Dr. Lewella as she is indisposed herself. You know the old saying 'Physician, heal thyself.' I am off to Brisbane tomorrow with OH - Katherine is away on a school biology camp (gone to Coolum looking at mangroves - you have no idea how unimpressed she is!) So, while the cat's away the mice will play. I'm actually taking Chris to see Menopause - I know he will just love it! Staying overnight and will be back on Friday pm. I'm also taking him to the casino for lunch so he can see what he missed out on when the Wattlers hit Brisvegas! Tony - won't be speaking to you again before you leave for Hayman. Have a great time - the weather is just fantastic at the moment. By the way - did you hear they've lost 10,000 pieces of luggage in London since the airport security clamp down! Oh boy - aren't you glad you're only flying domestic! Thanks Jude - will be watching the mail. Much appreciated. I am asolutely in awe of anyone who can hold a needle! Will catch up with everyone on Friday evening. Love Anna

Good Evening fellow Wattlers, Had a quick read back through the pages and yes Jood, OH and I will definitely be going to Mudgee. Haven't been there for a few years (last century I do believe!!) but absolutely loved it last time we were there. Trifley - Remember ages ago I asked about joining the Lotto club and you guys said I had to have 10 pieces of ID, security check and so forth. Then I didn't hear any more and presume I may have failed the security citizen test as I am not yet a fully fledged aussie wattler (after 36 yrs here) - um ah. Perhaps I should slip in that I do possess a lucky streak and have won several things over the years including a holiday, vouchers, clothes, movie tickets, kitchen items and so on - although my largest Lotto win at this stage has only been $550. Anyway please let me know what other docos I need to present to be considered!! Thanks ladies for the photos of Saturday's meet. What happened to the photos of Shazz? - as she was very busy using everyone elses camera to take photos of - herself - I might add!! It was so nice to meet up with everyone, just a shame that they wouldn't allow us to push ALL the tables together - never mind I think just switching tables as we did sent the wait staff into a mini frenzy. Mary - have you managed to get your phone fixed yet? How can you use the internet, yet not have a phone line, when Telstra cut me off (accidentally, whilst in the pit out the front) we lost every connection!! Hope you are feeling better - seems a few people have come down with the lurgy over this past week. That would be great if your OH can come to Mudgee too. Hi to Vonnie, Tassie, Laurie, Yvette, Sandra, Shazz and anyone else I have forgotten. Anna - have just read your piece about the lost luggage in Heathrow, very encouraging as OH leaves here on Sunday for 2 mths in UK....... Lyn

DID YOU SAY YOU WON $550..Lyn...:>)))) thats alotta pollywaffles...:>)) O'k you passed the test...your in.....lol Seriously.Lyn if you want to join the Lotto no probs. Just ..GR email me your home addy mate, and i will add it to our Lotto list. If i remember correctly you did ask about the Lotto, the same time as Pam.( Fluffy duck ) Pam GR emailed me about joining in, as did the others, but i just assumed you were not interested. Of course your welcolm to join mate, as is anyone else. Tony Oz...:>)))

Good evening Wafflers, Thought I had better get online and let you know I am still in the land of the living - (~~~~~~~ Joodles~~~~ Everyone else ~~~~~) I got pricked the other day, but reserve judgement as to results - massage doesn't help as it isn't muscular pain. Its an odd one to describe. Its one of those things that keeps coming back to haunt you. Bleedin shingles !!! Tony, love the little ditties, you are on a high for hol mode by the sound of it - good on you, hope you, Barb, DD and Gran have a lovely time - wont be hard to enjoy yourself up there. Anna, you and Chris have a great few days in the big smoke too - what is it ??? Brisvegas revisited ??? Julie cat, your medical system sounds awully like ours . . . . hope your feeling better, and you enjoy your trip to Scotland, just be carefull of those girls up there - you may never be the same again !!! Sound like your getting there Mary, in a few weeks you will feel like you have been there forever. Hope John feels better soon. Big hello to everyone else, I'm off to bed so will catch you again tomorrow cheers luv Laurie

Yes Trifley, add John and myself to the Mudgee motel list for the Friday and Sat night. What fun - lets book out an entire motel. I have agreed to go to a Antique Boat Regatta near Newcastle in October so he will come to Mudgee :) What I do for Wattlers lol Sorry for the mix up with the lotto ticket (you'll find out) LARA - I needed you pmsl. Dinner went well - nice to catch up with eldest son and dil. They have started as registered nurses this week at a private hospital here in Canberra. Today was their first day on the wards. Yvette, I see you were assessed today! is there anything we should know??? pmsl Good Luck with the tests and the essay. need to get up early tomorrow, it's going to be very busy so won't be on till late afternoon. ~~~~~~~~~to Julie Cat - hope you get better quickly and to all the others who are 'under the weather'. Vonny

Back again . . . Just wanted to let you know I will be out at the NSW Archives on Friday morning if anyone wants anything looked up. www*records*nsw*gov*au/archives/keyname_search_2187*asp If you want to go in there and do a search on your family name - if there any results in wills, convicts, immigration or anything else let me know and I will see if I can get copies for you. cheers luv Laurie

Hi Wattlelottos...:>)) Vonny bought the Lotto ticket for this week, but the chap gave her a super 7s Oz lotto ( which she paid a fortune for )...ouch The Super 7s gives us 7 numbers across the line instead of our usual 6....... Its still 36 lines downwards, but we have one extra number across the ticket, which gives us a better chance ( hopefully )....lol The super7s is a Tuesday night draw. So will be drawn on Tuesday 22nd of August. I was going to buy an extra ticket tomorrow for this Saturday night, but just realised i may not get on line tomorrow so decided to leave as is. Tony Oz..:>)))

Lew will be just about ready to wring my neck when she gets on line and sees I've told everyone her OH is ski-ing nood. .. I dinny say it - honest!!!!! Cat - that must have been scary for you, but glad you finally confirmed what was wrong with you. .. I dinny know you were going to Scotland - ru going to a meet or summat? Glad there's a whole heap of us going to Mudgee - can you just imagine the fun - when north meets south in the west! .. I think I've lost count again how many. .. If the 17th Feb is what you have, then it would be right - I left my handbag in a friends car tonight, so can't check my diary till tomorrow. .. I feel so nekkid without my bag :-( Off to bed - Ohhhhhhhhhhh Mary, dont worry about me, I'm fine - but keep an eye on Laurie - she aint. Good to hear from you again Yvette Love Jood
