Good Evening All Well we packed another couple of boxes, also went to town as it was Davids rdo, went and had a sticky at the house, it is definately empty, found some empty cardboard boxes in garage, so we recycled them, put them in car for our use lol. Mary yes I have got help packing, and without asking, which I thought was good, youngest dd came home and found out it was a definate for the move and asked straight away for a box to pack her stuff, other dd asked tonight if she could pack some of her stuff, and David has been busy packing his videos in boxes. The last time I moved I was on my own and had to do the packing up all by myself as girls were too young, I did have help though when it came to moving furniture, but boy it makes a difference when you have others to help with the packing. Lara not sure what it will be like in Summer, but cant be any worse than this place, as I mentioned before it is an icechest in winter as there is no insulation, also in summer because of the lack of insulation, it is like an oven and of a night time we have been known to sit outside with all the doors open and lights off and fan going to try and push the heat out of the house. Laurie congrats to you and also Colleen and Dion on their baby girl. Hello to everyone I havent mentioned. I might pop on tomorrow night, after me and girls have been to footy, David isnt coming, he is going to be cleaning his shed out. Ok Coffee time. Cheers Sue

Oooops Laurie, it was yesterday or last night rather (6.45pm) - I just wished you a safe trip - nothing important. .. But I do hope you have a great time while you are away. Jood

What a lovely restful day until this afternoon when I decided to renew and upgrade my Norton.. YUCK ..I have spent most of the afternoon trying to download it and going round in circles..It will just not finish the download. It gets to 99% finished and then just dissapears off my screen..cant get it to go any further..It has been a great pain in the proverbial neck and I will now have to wait for son to come round in the morning to fix it..If I cant get it to work I will go for the free one, which is supposed to be OK or Mcafee ,, is that a good one.. Now you all know why I didnt get to have a swim this afternoon ,, I was so looking forward to it , but never mind the dryer is now on the laundry wall so I can now do some washing and dry it without having to squeeze around all the fixtures.. Lara Sorry you didnt win the 'ball game' but it is all good fun. Hope you are keeping well up there and the warm weather is suiting you.. Stay as long as you can and enjoy... Had a nice easy tea and early to bed. Glad you are getting some help with the packing Sue.. It is such a trying job.. See ya in the morning.. Love Mary xxxxx

We got as far as Denmark before making tracks but to Erskine.

Off now as supper is ready, Love Raggy xxx

So glad you are having a great time RB ~~~~~~~~~~~ Night to all :) Vonny

Hello Wattlers I've had a busy day today and missed my nanna nap this arvo so I'm a LOT tired tonight. Got 'punctured again this morning.....it must be working as my arm feels a lot better. I also have a bit more movement in the chest area. I went back to the Dafy stall this arfternoon to hunt down a yellow wrist band as they didn't have any yesterday. Managed to snaffle one off a Cancer Council rep so now Mark is happily wearing it on his wrist. I guess this little episode of mine has affected him more than I realised. What's this I hear about a new little Pink Smurf? Welcome Sarah Louise to the wonderful world of the Wattlers. Louise....thanks for your good thoughts. I'm sure the love and support I've received from Wattlers, such as yourself, has helped my recovery. Vonny....the Cormorant is finally starting to look like a boat. You and John are doing an amazing job. Devily...good luck with the packing. Mary...any sign of the web-site pickles yet Crew...are you feeling better? You can't visit the new Pink Smurf if you have the lurgy. Shaz....have a great time in Newcastle. Kids birthdays can be fun. Hi Yvette, Tony, Lara, Joodles, Duck and all those I've neglected to mention. i hope you all have a fun, relaxing weekend. I'm finally off to bed...night, night everybody. love Trifley X

Good morning, Good morning, Wakey wakey Wattlers It's a minor heatwave in Canberra this morning - minus 1 - still some dampness on the ground from rain too - but looks like a nice day for us. Vonny - you and John are doing a great job - won't be long and you'll be floating down the Murray Shazz - enjoy your grandson's party - leave some fairy bread for the kids - lol Trifley - glad you're feeling some benefit of the acupunture - does take a few sessions Laurie - congrats on the new bub. Best wishes to the parents. See all that pink shopping was for a reason after all. Mary - today's the day for the pool - everything else can wait - you're a lady of leisure even more now. ~~~~~~waving to all~~~~~~ Gotta get ready for work and do a bit of tidying up before I go Have a great day everyone, catch up this arvo Gwenda 15 sleeps to New York

Good morning all just popped in to say hello & see what everyone is up to. Has anyone else read the genes board today Jules from Hove(I think) has been missing since Monday & everyone is very worried as she left a note saying she wanted to go to a better place her uncle has been putting up messages for a couple of days.It is very worrying for her family & her little girl is missing her. Lara don't worry Jim will scan the yard before you get here & make sure there is no nasty's & I look very closely before I go out the back door to make sure there is no Joe blakes. We are going out for dinner tonight to a great chinese restaurant for Jim's nieces birthday so no cooking for me tonight. We have finally had our piano fixed & are now waiting for a reply from ebay as to how much money we can get back from the seller,for those who don't know what I am talking about we bought it on ebay & when it was delivered 11 keys didn't work we tried for ages to get the seller to fix it but he wouldn't answer emails & his contact details were false.any way we had it fixed ourselves cost $108.00 & opened a dispute with ebay.Now all i have to do is learn to play it,look out neighbours. Will catch up with you all later Luv Cilla

good morning, rain is still hanging about I think. a very low key day intended for me. lots of love Yvette x

Morning all, as Gwenda said, looks like a beeeeautiful day. I hope to do some gardening. Will be out all afternoon and evening but will check in here before bed :) Hi Cilla, yes I have been following the general board re Jules. So sad. :( ~~~~~~~~~~to you all Vonny

Morning All from a sunny, but windy, Mudgee. Nothing much planned for today, just scanning some old family photos. Jood, I just remembered I'm going out for dinner tonight, so I can't do the Lotto. Anyone else available to post? Don't worry Trifles. By the time Sarah Louise comes home to Mudgee, I'll be well and truly over the lurgy. I would never risk it. Can't wait to give her a snuggle. Okay, still waiting for postal addresses for those coming to the Mudgee Meet. I already have Jood's, Vonny's, Shaz's, Trifle's & Fluffy Duck's. I have the tourist guides ready for sending, so let me have your addresses please. Vonny, you and John should be very proud of that boat. Incredible! Big waves and hugs to all the Wattlers, especially our SuzyQ with her dodgy sciatica, ouch! Lew Lew xxx

Good Morning All Well it is a lovely cool but sunny day today, a great day for the footy. We're all up, showered, had breakky, made lunches and packed our day packs. all we have to do now is load the car up with cheersquad banners, floggers, flags etc and off we go. We will do an hours work in the stall before we sit down to have lunch, and lubricate the voice, all ready for the game, with our front row seats in the cheersquad section. ~~~~ to everyone and I will catch you all later~~~~ Cheers Sue
