Afternoon Wattlers. Damn cold and raining in Mulbin...:>((( Take me away P&O...lol Shazz. Your dead right mate, our travelling days are over for a while, as i just bin sitting here looking at what we did and spent this last 12 months. Still, it was good while it lasted...lol In the last twelve months we have done our fair share. Singapore,England,Wales,Ireland,Singapore...........then...... Singapore,Scotland,Paris, London,Singapore and Hayman Island ( Q.L.D )in one year,and Barb did the U.S.A California (Anaheim ) with Sarah, and also Gold Coast within that year, so its time for a holiday in Malbin. Its renovation time for us for the next 12 months. Going to add on a his & hers walk in robes by extending the front bedroom out 2 metres. Will do most of the internal work myself. Plastering,Tiling,Painting and internal carpentry. Our house was built in the late 30s ( Weatherboard ) and originally an 11 square home in those days.Small homes built on very large blocks, when big backyards were the go. Barb bought it on her own ( as an investment ) in 1980. Then sold her Kilsyth home and moved in, to be closer to her Salon's. She then added 9 squares to her home. When i moved in with my 4 kids i renovated the kitchen,turned the old passageway's into an en suite, then added another 8 squares and a very large decking. Then i worked on the old Barn/Garage and turned it into her hairdressing Salon, but there is still a bit more that can be done to it, without over capitalizing. No more moves for us. This is my 4th and last home, and we have no intention to sell. Laurie. You made me laugh with the order your friends asked for...LOL Specially the fluoride tabs to stop the rotting teeth..hee hee Hz. Glad to hear your O'k mate.....bit of a scare there. SusyQ. Sorry to hear your Sciatica is playing up mate. Take care. Trifley. Hope you are getting stronger by the day. Jude ( Melb ) Sorry i couldn't bring the sunshine home mate. Its amazing when you return to Melb from up north. Barb was rubbing in cream last night, because she got sun-burnt on Hayman, but we were all sitting here with the heating on....lol Sue ( Tassie ) Good luck with your moving, and hope all works out for you. To everyone else, have a good day....:>)))) Will add a few Pickles to the GR photo board, when i sought them out. Best wishes to all the sickies. Av a good un. Tony Oz...:>)))

Very romantic these welsh women A Welsh Love Story. An elderly man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed. Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he leaned against the door frame, gazing into the kitchen. Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite chocolate chip cookies. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his Devoted Welsh wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man? Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in a rumpled posture. His aged and withered hand trembled towards a cookie at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife with a spatula. 'F*** off' she said, 'they're for the funeral.' Don't spill your beer, Tony! Jood

Good one Jood Another spendid coughing fit lol Pam

Morning all!! Judy... laughs are always good in the morning and you all seem to send me some great funnies.... so thanks for all the laughs you give me..starts the day off well!! Well, another meet is looming here... just 2 more sleeps and we'll be off to Manchester. Think around 25 people coming so should be a good day... Think I may be coming over there around October next year folks... so hopefully there will be a meet somewhere nice. Take care all... off shopping now... Anne xxx

Evening all :) had an interesting afternoon. Daughter locked herself and grand d out of the house so I had to go over and take my key. So I ended up going shopping with them. Nice afternoon. I am going to borrow her gym equipment as they have no room for it and she is going to write me my own program - that's what her degree was in - Exercise Science!! I figure if we are all joining www then I had better get started. Hz, the Metcalfs are all in their nice little folder and I have some pictures that my cousin sent which, when put together with your info, don't quite add up BUT I am having a break from FH until I get my spare room organised as I just can't spread out in the family room and I need s-p-a-c-e :) I am losing stuff and forgetting where stuff is. Yvette, I do hope you have more commitments to your program. I must admit I turned pale at the price of the Motel but John didn't seem to mind. I guess it will be our last luxury before 4 months of camping!!!! That's how I'm justifying it anyway :) Got the extra lotto numbers - just have to get to a scanner tomorrow arvo probably. The bit left over went towards a daffy - I reckoned that you would all approve :) Beginning to plan our trip down the Murray - Lara, where will you be next March????? hee hee. Oh, I haven't introduced Rodney (Norfolk Dumpling). He is a genuinely nice guy who was practically my first contact on GR when I was a very green newbie over a year ago and gave me tons of help to get started. He knew me on Chat for about 6 months, even before I changed my name :) and when I didn't even know General existed. I lost contact when I moved to General and then to the Wattlers so please welcome him if he pops in now and again. ~~~~~~~~~ to Rodders catch you later, Vonny

Anne - October will be nice weather - so glad you arent coming in winter, when it's miserable. .. Anne I am trying to help Lemon Nelly with some FH - I'm sure you know her?? Hope you have a good time at your Manchester Meet . Vonny - how much did we actually win? .. I did ask someone if it was div 4 or 5 or something, but no-one replied. I did get my diffadall in the form of a yellow biro - hope that is acceptable. Jood

Good one Joodle.....LOL Hi Anne ( HR ) Hope your fighting fit mate. I'm sure someone will organise a meet somewhere in Oz next year in Oct.

And a meet in October in the nation's capital perhaps? :) Jood, the grand total of $21.30 in division 6. !! I reckon payment is better in the Saturday Lotto but of course we did get an extra number and it was the 7th number that made our winner. I couldn't believe how many times that number came up on our lines :) Vonny

Cat, is the meet you are going to the same one that Lemon or Honey (that sounds funny lol) are going to?? Jood
