Hi All Has taken me forever to catch up on all the waffle. Have been checking out the site for a couple of days. Hope all those who are not well are on the road to recovery. Woke up this morning with the sorest of sore throats. Looks like it is my turn for the bug and Jood no you didn't pass it on to me nor you Sandra. Jood you really are a worry, don't think I'll let you cook my next lot of chicken soup. Shazz is still laughing, I can hear her now !!!! Tomorrow I should have all my census forms in. Then I start on the paper work............................. Sounds like all had a good time at the Sydney meet. Wish I could have been there. Thanks to everyone for the piccles. Trifley, how ya goin'. Please count me in for a hotel room for the Mudgee meet. Jarmies already packed...Don't think I have ever been so stu**ed in all my life. Wilson, Burpengary is not that far from me, would love to meet you while you are there and Lara don't forget lunch on your way through. Anna, did you have an enjoyable time in Brisvegas. If I had read the thread earlier, I would have suggested meeting you guys for lunch. Did Chris enjoy the show Tony, I have lost my gt grandad and his parents. Can you help me find them when you come back from hey man !!!!!!!! Yea SuzyQ, My bum is a lot closer to the ground now. Worked really hard for not much pay, but have met some of the nicest peeps you could find and, like our thread - no agro !!!!!!!!!!!!! Did a lot of work at a retirement place helping some of the peeps to do their census forms and apart from one little fella, they were the lovliest peeps. If you run out of cleaning fluids just come to my house and use mine here. lol... Tassie, - census - not a lot of moolah but lots of satifaction !! Tony, hope you have a great holiday. By now you will be in our beautiful state. I think you forgot one thing to pack - all you need are thongs and dp's. LOL Mary, have you settled yet and had a nice quiet day ? Yvette, hope all the assesments and tests go fine. Sounds like you are doing really well. Puddy tat, how you goin? Pills kicking in yet - just as well the good Dr Lew didn't prescribe for you - you probably would be full of buckshot by now. lol I have slept well most nights. After a big day, come home, have shower, collapse on the bed and sleep. Forget about dinner, but what is pi**ing me off is that I am doing all this walking and non eating, but not getting any thinner. BU**ER..................Tassie, can you help me lose the weight ????? Laura, Queensland is a great place to live. Just ask all the southerners moving up here to bask in our wonderful life style. Shazz, think I need lots more sleeps to rejuvinate this poor tired body.Thought I could handle this work but it is really hard yakka. I am just so grateful the area I had is so flat and mainly single storey houses/units/town houses etc. Hi Laurie, could just sit on your balcony all day and just unwind. What a lovely place to live. We have one small giraffe on Bribie along the water front and everytime I see it, I think of you. How is the pain management going - you poor little buggar. Vonny, was it you or Yvette who had trouble getting your census papers - can't remember that far back. Maybe the same slack mob OOOOOOOOOOOhhhh slap my wrist..... Hi Lara, Sorry I missed your birthday, know you would have had a really great day. Hopefully see you on your way back down souf. Spent my honeymoon on Green Is off Cairns in 1969. Bet it has changed a lot since then. Must go back one day - when we win lotto lol Won't bore you good peeps anymore, but haven't been on here for so long, so just had to have my 5 cents worth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to all I haven't said hello to~~~~~~ Luv Flucky Duff

What's happening with this thread? Every time I come back to it the numbers have gone backward. Sooooo...who got the number? Hi Duffy Fluck.....your name is now on the Mudgee motel list. Is your OH coming too? Also which nights will you be staying? Hi Gwenda...are you feeling misserable too? Healing thoughts on their way. Laurie...is the pain still gone? You should patent that treatment. love TX

Afternoon all :-) Trifley I like the union rules of no spring cleaning in winter, after all it must be winter somewhere pmsl. Anna hope you enjoyed Brisvegas :-) Louisa great news about your family :-) Jood pmsl at your chicken soup. I shouldn't laugh really as it's the type of thing I used to do when I attempted to cook lolol. Nowadays I play safe and don't cook lolol. Devily hope David's bloodtest is ok. Gwenda hope you get beter soon. Pam re buckshot pmsl Yvette I wasny lurking. Jess was on the pc lol btw re numbers someone must be deleting cos when I first came on it was Laurie who had it then when I'd finished reading and checked numbers again Yvette had it but from previous posts Gwenda seems to have had it first pmsl A miracle has happened. I finally got my meds yippeeeeee. I was told on the tuesday night to ring the hospital at 2pm, on the Wednesday, to make sure they were ready so I did but they weren't. So I rang back at 6pm then at 7pm. The nice lady on the other end of the line then checked for me and found out the pharmacy had messed up and although they had the prescription they had't made it up. She had a word with the consultant the next day and they had the prescription faxed to my doctors so I could pick it up there. Phoned my doctors in the afternoon wasn't ready, tried again at 4pm still no. Finally one of the receptionists, by a process of elimination, found out which doctor was supposed to make the prescription up and informed me it wouldn't be ready until 5:45pm by which time it was too late to take to the chemists. Also by now it was raining and thundering and lightning so I said I would pick it up the next day. Anyway I've finally got them, anti-biotics, inhaler and paracetamol. The anti-biotics last me until next Thursday so I'll have finished them by the Scottish meet thank God lolol. ~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~ Catxx

Hi Trifles Don't think the oh will be there. Will have to work out when buses (or other public transport etc) go through to Mudgee. Haven't had time to check out transport yet. Maybe after this weekend, I can start to get organised... Luv Pam

~~~~~waves to Cat person. kepp popping those antibiotics.....you've gotta be healthy for the scottish meet. Duck...ok...just you on the list. TX

nitey nite, sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite Ducky

~~~~back to Trifley :-) Will do lol Pam night night, sweet dreams :-)

Morning all, DEAR DIARY . DAY ONE I am all packed and ready to get on the cruise ship. I've packed all my pretty dresses and make-up. I'm really excited. DEAR DIARY . DAY TWO We spent the entire day at sea. It was beautiful and we saw some whales and dolphins. What a wonderful vacation this has started to be. I met the Captain today and he seems like a very nice man. DEAR DIARY . DAY THREE I spent some time in the pool today. I also did some shuffle boarding and hit some golf balls off the deck. The Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner. I felt honored and we had a wonderful time. He is a very attractive and attentive gentleman. DEAR DIARY . DAY FOUR Went to the ship's casino ... did OK. won about $80. The Captain invited me to have dinner with him in his state room. We had a luxurious meal complete with caviar and champagne. He asked me to stay the night but I declined. I told him there was no way I could be unfaithful to my husband. DEAR DIARY .. DAY FIVE Went back to the pool today and got a little sunburned. I decided to go to the piano bar and spend the rest of the day inside. The Captain saw me and bought me a couple of drinks. He really is a charming gentleman. He again asked me to visit him for the night and again I declined. He told me that if I didn't let him have his way with me he would sink the ship. I was appalled. DEAR DIARY . DAY SIX I saved 1600 lives today. Twice. Jood

Morning all, rise 'n shine. 22 peeps for Mudgee at last count - woo hoo!!! Quite cold this morning after a beautiful day yesterday. .. I think it will warm up tho - its still only 6:50am. Gwenda hope your nose isn't Rudolph red still :( Who was the phantom thread puller last night and who did win at last count? .. I forgot we were anywhere near the big number. Im off to have brekky and then out for the morning. Cheers Jood

Good Morning All, Saturday at last, I’ve had a super busy week, have read most of the posts, glad some people are finally on the mend, it was a week of lurgy’s wasn’t it. Congrats to Urban Girl, glad you have linked up with family after all this time, very exciting. I’m a sucker for reading Success Stories on GR, lump in throat quite often! Mary, so pleased you are getting settled after all your hard work moving, I remember it wasn’t so long ago that you wrote what your dream retirement unit would be like, and here you are now, moved in! Congrats to you! Oh Jood – the soup lol. I got in trouble yesterday I left the gas ring on when I went to work after cooking some scrambled eggs at breakfast, OH found it when he got home around lunchtime – no damage but a stern lecture as you might imagine. Fluffy Duck, what a good job you have done on the census, I know you don’t get paid enough, but it’s nice that you were able to get satisfaction from doing it, and we wattlers really appreciate you doing it. Jood, pmsl about saving lives on the cruise ship! To everyone sending funnies, thank you, I am recirculating some round my family and friends where appropriate, maybe that’s where all my computer time is going instead of doing FH ! Last night took DD15 to Wangaratta to see Wangaratta Players do “Pride and Predjudice” – long, but we had a great time together in car down and back (all her music but she likes good stuff eg Cat Empire).Play was wonderfully done, we enjoyed it a lot. DD is busting to be in something like it. She will have to be content with Christmas Play at Children’s Theatre at end of year – they have had auditions, I think she might get her part this afternoon. Looks like I might have to rush down to Sth Gippy for a funeral on Monday or Tuesday, good friend of my Mum’s died, and her daughters came to my Mum’s funeral so I feel I must go as my Melb brother is away in Vanuatu. It will be nice to see Dad too, Father’s Day visit a bit early. I might stay 2 nights actually, as everyone is back from holidays at work and I can sneak off . Bit overcast here this morning, I’m off to the gym in a bit, then jeans shopping with DD, then grocery shopping and “taxi-driving” and the day will be gone – anyone following Dr Who, can’t miss second part of episode tonight, think tea will be a quick pasta dish so I can sit and watch Hope everyone has a nice weekend, ~~~~ to All~~~~~~Hz PS I'm being very quiet about Mudgee because at this point I just don't think I can come, I'm so disappointed BUT I won't write it off completely yet till time is closer!

Good morning Waffling Wattlers Sun is shinning on another beautiful day on Botany Bay - we have just enjoyed breaky on the balkooney - ships are acomin' and agoin' and there are currently 5 giraffes with their heads held high. I think there is going to be a lot of activity on the water today as already there are lots of little craft out there and some bouys being laid for a course for some class or other. Poor Yvette, I couldn't believe it when I saw the numbers running away on her like that last night - ! So pleased for you Louisa, you have certainly put some effort into finding your family - you deserve the outcome. I had a big time at the Archives yesterday - and I'm back off out there on Monday, got some results for some of the requests - the others I will catch up with on Monday. Anyone else who would like anything looked up just give me a yell. Joodles (pmsl) you silly duffer . . . I should be going crook on you . . . you could have set the house on fire !!! Dont know about the Chicken Herder, but you could now be called the Charcoal Chick. (Naughty girl tooo . . . . Marie told me . . . after she gave me a telling off . . . teeeheee) Did anyone see the story on the current affairs program a couple of nights ago - a little girl who had a card from the PM - they were talking about kids learning more history at school ?? Well the school the little girl goes to is 'Hills' the Japanese owned owned school at Jimboomba where Glen went to school. (little bit of trivia) Donna glad things are going OK at the moment with Dan - fingers crossed for you big time. Hope Zac is fit and well for his big game. Now I know what that red glow coming from down Canberra way is Gwenda - was getting a little worried - Hope your feeling better today, keep drowning it !!! Nearly done Pam, good experience, but a lot more to it than some may think isn't there. Neighbour is our local co-ord, she asked me to be involved but once bitten twice shy . . . been there done that !!! (be at Bribie soon XO) How are you today Trifley ?? Just dont push it !! Or you will get the wrath of the Wattler upon you . . . Hi Heather, sounds like you and DD had a good night last night - P & P was first amatuer production our Glen was in - nah - make that second, I forgot about 'Grease' (probably with good reason teehee - too many egos in the cast in that one) TLR is booked to go back to Jakarta Sunday next week, so I will go up home earlier than planned, I will drive up on Monday week - Ray will fly direct to Brisbane the following Friday for the wedding the next day, and then have a weeks holiday. So I get 2 weeks up home - maybe more! Plenty of time to catch up with some Wafflers !!! Well off to buy a birthday pressie for Mr 1yr olds party tomorrow - Ray decided a fishing pole so he can go fishing with Uncle Ray. They have so many toys its harder and harder to select a gift for them, so looks like it is the fishing rod and some books. Big party tomorrow lunch time at Tony Romas (sp) in the City, 1st birthdays are always such a big occasion with our Asian friends, they tell me it became a custom with the mortality rate being a big factor in their lives. We have certainly been to some great events to celebrate 1st years - the grandest being at the Ballroom of the Hilton hotel in Jakarta, complete with all 4 teletubbies, a magician, 3 clowns and of course the Party Planner !!! (Little boy blue slept through it all) Have a great day all cheers luv Laurie
