Morning Wattlers, just a quick hello, we've got a very busy weekend. Daughter no 2 is off to London tomorrow night to spend a month with her sister. We spent 3hours at the travel agents yesterday getting the last seat to London til next thursday. My fault I wasn't happy to let her go til I knew that the 22nd had been passed safely ( that was the day the terrorists were going to hit). This will be a retirement rehearsal for us, first time for 28years we have been child free, dont tell the girls but I am loving the idea....lol Congrats to Laurie on the arrival of the new bub. Nearly forgot GO CATS!! Get off the puta and pack Tassie. Have a good weekend everyone, will catch up later if I can Flakey

I will try and send you my address by GR email Lew so I hope it gets to you.. I have had 2 emails this way today but hope it is still working.. AVG is the one I was trying to think of Joodle, thanks for reminding me..It seems to have a good reputation.. May get time for my swim today..YYhhaaayyyy,,,,, Back later Love Mary xxxxx

Hi ya Flakey don't tell Mike but I will be barracking for the Cats too today only for Josh though as Mike is very mean about my team and I told him I wasn't going to barrack for them any more as second team. Fell very relieved now as Cassie's house drama is over no more, except to tell everyone who lives in Queensland that they must tell everyone they know that EZY Homes are the worst pack of B*****ds ever and not a builders A*****e sorry for the language but couldn't help it. Don't want anyone's friends or rellies to go through what Cassie and Jason have. Good Luck Devily will watch and wave to you so wave back, you should have a sign saying hello wattlers that will make everyone curious see practising now ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'Go Hawks' Cilla sorry tell Jim I want him up an umpires chair please with 202 when I get there , and please can you have learned the piano by the time I get there I have always wanted to learn too ,love piano music but think I might get one that is a Player piano and then just have to pedal, more chance of actually being able to recognise what is being played that way.LOL I don't go on General board much Cilla but do hope Jules is Safe and they find her soon Mary want you in that pool today is it heated or indoors ? Hows John any better ? Tony want a puzzle to work on mate this bloke here is so keen he is going home to adoption agency to try and find his birth grandparents names, They were supposed to have died in a Sunshine train accident but when he went to find them on the deceased list they were not on it at all so we have figured this must have been the story his dad was told as alittle boy as to why he was adopted out his brother was only fostered out but stayed with those people all his life too . His father's name was Maxwell George Stewart he was adopted by the Mortons in Geelong and his brother Alan Stewart was fostered in to a Wangaratta Family and was very well educated and became a Patholigist but Doug would like to find out what happened to his grandparents and why they just up and left their sons . Doug said the areas to look would be Geelong and Ballarat I have printed out all the Stewarts in Geelong Cemetary but until he finds out hopefully from the adoption papers his grandfather and grandmothers name its a bit hard. The only way I can think to find them is to find THE BIRTH of Alan and Maxwell George Stewart with the parents names there. Would be grateful if you could think of any other way to help him or if you could find these births for me anywhere as something wrong with my AVR mate can't get it to work Going out to hang some washing sit a while in the sun and read before Footie is on ~~~~~~~ to all havn't spoken too this time PS Lew sent pm love Lara

Afternoon Wattlers, well just. Spent all morning washing, now there is only two of us and water restrictions I have cut the washing down to once or twice a week now, a few black clouds so hope it dries. Everyone sounds busy, I have several projects on the go and sometimes wonder which to do first. Congrats to the new parents Laurie and Aunty of course. Sorry to sound boring again but we are 5 days away from the end of our limit and we have managed to keep it down ,it's now 75% of usage so I'm asking please no more jokes in particular picture ones until at least after the 31st, I will be so glad when our contract is up with telstra in Jan Hope you all have a great Sat what ever you are doing Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Diddling about, finding it too hard to concentrate on the tasks at hand ( essential stuff, has got to be done) Its middle childs 20th b/day on tuesday and am waitng for him to return from footy to get a pressie. have got the bass practice happening in the background coz possum and miles have just replaced their strings. sounds ok for the time being. Think I might get you to add me to the Lotto list - please. I can give you 3 forms of photo ID but no credit rating ( its got to do with the tin box aspect of my life). I was talking to a friend up the street today, and she told me how her and her oh won 1mil. in '96. (yepo she still plays lotto) she said I must be the only person about town that didn't know. I touched her hoping some of that would wear off onto me. Better put it to use. love Yvette xxxxxxxxxx

Tony Just had a look at you Hayman pickles.. what luxury... No wander it cost so much... Love Mary xxx

I'm a bit like you this afternoon Yvette, diddling . . fiddle farting . . . playing silly buggers . . . getting diddlye squat done !!! (Can hear my mum saying all those funny little sayings) Ray is just having a little snooze before he goes off to the footy - I have loads to do, but no inclination to do them. Just got an sms through from the new mummy, Colleen, and she said Sarah is sleeping (not her favourite thing to do) and they are both doing well today. It is lovely from my perch looking over the bay - sun is out, although there is a lot of cloud about - there is a cold wind, but it is coming in from the s/w and I dont get any of that on the balkooney. SHips have been in an out, tugs have been very busy, and there are no idle giraffes, all of them have head down moving containers from and onto ships. Lara, so glad that Cassie & Jason have finally had their day - lets hope they can get someone in to fix the house now and they can get on with their lives. I'll spread the word about EZI-HOMES. You wont know yourself Flakey, when we moved down here it was our first time as Darby & Joan, love it now, though I still miss the boys. I never want to live with them again. Your girls will be OK, just enjoy the rehersal! Happy anniversary Vonny & John, hope you have a lovely dinner with your family, and well done on the boat, its looking good! Tony, lovely pickles - thanks for sharing. Lovely looking mermaids, did you notice how the second one of them biggest cocktails is so much heavier than the first ?? and how sweet of you to buy Barb such a lovely little possie of flowers - (what caused the smile after the visit to the Jewlers shop ?? ) Gee Gwenda your trip to USA is close now - you will enjoy it !!

I had written to that someone last year, they didn't write back and my tree is not open to them. wrote 2 letters today, wondering if they are gonna write back. be good if they have penetrated my brick wall for me!! love yvette

Had a quick look, doesnt look like a new plasma this week Tony.

Hello Wattlers I've had a lot of trouble trying to get onto GR today. Rest of the internet was fine....just couldn't get on here. I eventually had to Google GR then managed a connection that way. Strange! Hi Cilla...do you know how to get to Carnegie Hall?.......Practice, practice, practice! It's great to learn a musical instrument. Yvette....I'm sure we can trust you to buy the Lotto but what the heck does 'Tin Box' mean? Vonny....hope you and John have a wonderful anniversary. Crew...you sound better...what sort of restaurant are you going to tonight? Drvily....sorry, I don't watch footbrawl so I couldn't see you. How is the packing going? Tony...wow...great pickles! The bathroom in your suite is bigger than my lounge room! Did you get the recipe for the toblerone cocktail? I think I'd like to try one of those. Flakey....you and OH will love being alone for a while. Kids are wonderful but it's great to get back to being just a couple. But don't worry.....they don't stay away for long. Mary....we used Norton on the old '98' and Mark's laptop and had nothing but trouble. We ditched it and now use AVG. Lara...glad to ear Cassie & Jason are finally OK with their house. EZY homes is now onj our list of taboo companies. Sandra...I've never heard anything good from anyone about BigPond. OK...no big emails 'til next month. Laurie...I'm thinking of growing old disgracefully. My parents would have been horrified but at least I'll be happy. Gotta have some coffee. love Trifley X

shame that I didn't have more of a problem getting on GR. I may have done a bit more of something else, but i've had a lovely relaxing day. 'Why do today, what you can put off until tomorrow?' Not a watcher of footy, only watched Dr Who and sometimes get the end of Ms Beer and that cheeky chef during the week. Read my paper mostly on line. As for growing old disgracefully - you go girl!!!! Thanks for the lotto list Tony, have filed it away safely. might even get the privilege of being in my very special 'tin box' love Yvette x
