Afternoon all, Thanks for being understanding about the ticket - I DID ask for Saturday's draw but the guy obviously had Tuesday on the brain and although I knew it was the wrong type I didn't know till I got home that it was the wrong day as well! Or the right day!!!! we'll just have to wait a bit longer for results. Shingles causes an excruciating pain :( Thinking of you Laurie and praying for healing. Still at 'work' and have to go and check some writing homework so, catch you later, ~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Afternoon Wattlers Gee the day has gone fast today and I still have a bit to do. Just popped in to say Hi will I have my sandwich. Well we will have to have fingers crossed for Tuesday lotto, as others have said, it may be lucky, and worth more this week. Tony have a great trip away. If the Ancestral Thylacine is a Tassie Tiger, then he is a very sneaky one cause usually they dont show theirselves where lots of people are floating about lol. That is for the ones who believe they are still alive. Mary you are taking boxes back to removalists and I picked some up today, thought better get started on packing the things we dont use often. Well back to some more work, will be back shortly. Cheers Sue

Afternoon wafflers . . . lovely sunny day on Botany Bay !! Thanks for your concern, I found my own pain relief yesterday, ICE !!! Numbs the darn thing completely - only thing is I will probably end up with frost bite on my shoulderblade . . . its a form of neuralgia, caused by the shingles - from the nerve damage caused by the ruddy disease years ago. I live with an under the skin tingley itchy thing, but every now and then it flares up and hurts. I'm OK - just working on the blocking out receptor! Gwenda, and all those with the dreaded lurgy, hope the bug goes real quick - drown the bugger . . . best remedy!! Got my fingers crossed for you Donna that all goes well with Dan in the new school. Kids . . . give us the greatest joy - and the biggest heartaches!!! So glad you getting some relief Trifley - Yaaahhhh you be able to swing that handbag around in no time at this rate! But I would hold off on the housework for a few years (teeehee) Mudgee is going to be massive - neice Colleen offered us the spare room for the occasion, double excitement for me as Col's bubby will only be about 5 months old then. I'm off to Archives in the morning, and only one request so far for a look up - will check mail before I leave in the morning if anyone else comes up with anything - dont be shy - I will have heaps of help out there. Catch you all later ~~~~ cheers luv Laurie

Good Morning All. I have not posted for a long time but I have a look every now and again. Here in Perth it is sunny but we have had rain and have been very cold. I feel like death warmed up with a sore throat and a runny nose. It is my day off as well. I must admit I never take time off or rarely from work. I just get sick weekends or holiday time!!!!! The time is 11.41 am and I am in my PJs still. Jood the site you posted I cannot get on to..... All the Best Pam

hello all, a special get well wish to all that are under the weather do hope you are all better soon , Katherine heheh Anna can just imagine her sitting looking at mangroves all day,although I've been up or down so many Rivers in Australia and they really are quite interesting in their growth quite different to any other plants and I was shocked by the amount of different ones and why they are so important. Hope your day is nice Anna Hi Julie Cat glad you seem a little better have a ball at the meet up and say hello to Jilly Tony said it all in PM have good time don't forget the sunscreen though and some midgie stuff Vonny pMSL too when you said that like you are not a virgin any more would be like coming on your honeymoon if I'd been there telling you what to do OMG the mind boggles ok behave and dont fret about it girl maybe was meant to be always hearing about peeps who put two entries in by mistake or same nos twice and they end up winning so lets hope this is the case and just sorry it cost so much did you nearly faint.

Getting another carspace tomorrow to rent so that will be good. Hope you are keeping well... Better go and get dinner so back later Love Mary xxx

Hi all. Trifley I meant to keep a list of all those going to Mudgee (for my own use) - but was gonna and didnt!!!!, so thanks for the list, I have saved it now - it would be far too hard to go back that far in the thread to look for everyone's acceptance. I think in fact I am sure Lyn & Mick wanted a motel room too, and Yvette wanted to know the date, which I told her was 17 February 07. Laurie, Ray and myself (as far as I know) won't need motel accomodation. (that sounds like 20 peeps - oh, and what about Shaz & Rob - Lara & Mike, and Pam) . .. By the way, *I* am NOT organizing the Mudgee Meet, I'm just stickybeaking coz I wanna know who's going. .. pmsl Ooooh Lew - it will almost be like a family reunion .. lol. .. Lew, this girl has just woken up who Tez is .. pmsl Mary, honestly I dont know where you get your energy from !!! .. I guess you have an incentive, with visitors coming. Tony thanks for helping Ancestral - that person gave me some advice once. Once again - big waves and kisses to Tony - Barb - Jude - Ken on their holidays and may it be your bestest. Is Jude 2 going away too??? Jood

hello all, I'm very keen to come to Mudgee,oh wont be attending, but I asked a very dear friend of mine about it. (only if thats ok with you all)she is the kindest, loveliest person. also fond of fine wine and martoonies and the like.She has devoted a lot of time and effort on training me in th art of drinking without getting plastered. She hasn't been successful. Secret - if I had 1 more (=2) i would have been plastered in Sydney. i'll confirm the dates with her, otherwise i will come on my lonesome - which I don't have a major problem with. Hope you can wait for a few more days for my official commitment. Assessment went ok, real well actually, anatomy test out of the way so i'm going to be lazy tonight. I've decided I have to lose a couple of kilos - all my work clothes are rather snug, so no more goody cooking until it happens. off to finish tea. love Yvette x

Yvette - you just gotta come, I hope you can. .. Congrats on your anatomy .. Hmm now that doesnt sound right, but you know what I mean! Wafflers, I have an updated list of Wattle Data - but it is in Excel, so anyone who wants a copy - please msg me. Jood

Here's one for you Toward the end of church service, the Minister asked the congregation, How many of you have forgiven your enemies? All held up their hands except one small elderly lady. 'Mrs. Jones? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?' 'I don't have any,' she replied, smiling sweetly. 'Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?' 'Ninety-eight.' she replied. 'Oh Mrs. Jones, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an Enemy in the world?' The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, Faced the congregation, and said: 'I outlived the bitches.' Ooooooooooooooooooooh Jood

Jood.....:>)))))) Thats my kinda joke.......Love it x Tony Oz..:>))

Evening all Thank goodness the washing's finished....it took me quarter of an hour to bring it all in!

Donna...another day without problems....yaaayyy! He'll get there. Big hugs for daniel Lara...I like chinese food too. Where did you go to learn? Joodles...I'm not organising Mudgee either..lol I'm just doing the Country Comfort motel end of it. I like to be prepared. Yvette...<<<clap>>> congrats on your anatomy test. Mudgee...is Saturday 17th Feb. Your friend will be most welcome to come. The Wattlers are known far and wide for their friendliness so your mate will feel comfortable.

Thank you Tony :-) Trifley because the hospital pharmacy managed to overlook my prescription yesterday and didn't do it. The woman I spoke to on the phone has arranged to have the prescripton faxed to my doctors so I can pick it up from there which is a good thing so they're not all bad lol.
