hi , been there done that including the shopping. feel like a real gem. dinner was made as soon as I got in too. had a quick look on here and then raced up the paper shop to get my lotto. rotten place had just closed, then remembered it was only thursday still - you tricked me with all the numbers. off to eat dinner now and top up deficient caffeine levels. Its a wonder I haven't got a headache from lack of. love Yvette x

Afternoon all, back from shopping and got a nice pair of jeans and new joggers for the weekend. I'll get my ticket tomorrow and try and get the numbers on correctly before i leave :) if my ticket wins anything don't get too excited because I will have to check it with the real thing when I get back Sunday evening. I cope with words BUT you should see the mess I make of numbers!!!! However, I will try my speaking program and see if that works. Thank you too all those peeps who encouraged me to keep pursuing my word plays. Your encouragement means sooooo much :) (hee hee) Mary - 4 planks left to go but because I will be away, eldest son has volunteered for riveting duty this weekend :) Jood - enjoy your schedule but don't over do things!!!! ~~~~~~~~~ to all with webbed feet, Vonny

Hello Everyone, sorry I can't remember individual names but it is nice of you to make me feel so welcome. I remember a few names from earlier when I used to pop on sometimes and you all sound such a jolly lot. For those who remember Norman, he is not very well but I am learning not to let him worry me so much. I have had a visit from a lady from a Carer Association this afternoon and she is encouraging me to get out and look after myself more. I wish I lived nearer to some of you. Well, must start thinking about tea now. See you later, Sylvia XX

Hi Sylvia, distance with us Wattlers is never a problem. We're all close to each other via the internet, if not in person. Look after yourself. Remember, whatever happens, look after number one and the rest will follow. Now, I have just posted Mudgee Tourist Guides to the following. If you would like a copy and I haven't included you, please pm me your postal address - Jood Vonny Shaz Fluffy Duck Queen Trifles (& Nefer and the brothers!!!0 Tony Lara Mary Sandra Laurie SuzyQ and Gwenda.

Sylvia Dont worry about names on here.. They keep changeing them anyway so Hey You works just as well.. I hope Norman is getting more into him and regaining his weight..I think he might have frightened himself by getting so weak not eating..

He is more capable than you think I surmise...Leave him some nice tit bits on thursdays and go into town and have lunch with someone nice.. or how about some retail therapy..christmas is not far off so now is a good time to start..Hugs for you,,,xxx Susie Q I hope you are feeling better and the back is improving...do take it easy and go easy on the martoonies at the lunch next tuesday..AAwww gee wish I was comming..

Getting faster and faster swimming on my back with a noodle under my shoulders. Nearly ready for the olympic backstroke team .......not Jill, I gave up dropping birthday and anniversary hints many many years ago, it fell on deaf ears !! lol Thats why I was so surprised this year. OH must have been feeling guilty.....probably because he has just had a week on the barrier reef while I was flat out doing the census. Let him suffer !!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello Sylvia, welcome. Not all of us are MAD and some, no names mentioned, need to be instootooshunilised . LOL And please don't get upset with Vonny's SICK jokes. l and lol I've dyed and been to heaven !!!!!!!!! (for Vonny) Donna, have had a few showers over the past 24 hours but will take lots more. Now just hang on in there kido. And yea I agree with Flakey, just humour the Quack.... Hi Lew and Flakey Laurie, There is nothing like a walk in the rain. As a kid, I remember the best place to walk to school was in the gutters because there was lots of water. Parents didn't appreciate the wet leather shoes tho. Count me in for lunch at the Outpost. Need a map to get to Cananananaga ?????????? Mary I can get lost anywhere, anytime, no trouble. Lara, did have a lovely day yesterday. I'm sitting here crying, thinking about your Mum's crystal being 'grabbed' for a pittance. What a shame ! Sandra, sorry I'm being greedy today and not sending any rain........don't feel like sharing at the moment. Yea I know, I'm not a nice person. Thanks for sending the Mudgee info Lew Lew. Tony will send my numbers tomorrow, but if I have been to the 'club', wouldn't count too much on the accuracy of them. lol Time for a chardy Pam

Lara - re your probs (which Tony & I also have) - I found this website which may help the errorsafe problem at least. http://www*remove-errorsafe*org/ Jood

Mary - its Sandra who eats mussels (not muscles) - I hate them .. pmsl (but I love prawns) Geez, this Mudgee trip is gonna be an ordeal innit? First we gotta lose weight, then we gotta learn how to noodle up and down the pool and lastly we gotta bowl balls. .. A girls gotta hava drink now'n again???????????? Maybe I'll jest sit in a comfitabell chair with a nice drinkie or three and watch the proceedings under an umbrella. .. And I won't lose weight either. (so there) *steps down off soapbox in a rebellyus mood* Jood

OOPS Sorry Jood... I will bring some prawns for you... I am sure Sandra would like some muscles,, just depends who they belong to...LOL Well I am off to bed.. See ya in the morning. Love Mary xxxxx

lol Dontcha remember Sandra eating the mussels Mary - I have the photo to prove it .. pmsl ( I don't mind muscles tho) Jood

Evening all Well guess what???? Ya all have ta put up with me for another year. David just paid my membership for another year as it was due tomorrow. I organised the phone for our new house yesterday and they told me what number it is and I though for some reason it would be easy to remember, the last 4 numbers are 6862, then it dawned on me today derr that is my birth date, how freaky is that???? I will get my extra lotto in tomorrow about lunch time then post the numbers on here early afternoon. Cheers Sue

I had Mussells once. In fact...i used to have a six pack, but now its just one big pack...:>((( .... but i own it....:>))) Joke: A nun was teaching a sunday school class of yougsters and asks them which bit of the body gets to heaven first. Sally puts her hand up and says your hands, so the nun asks her why! Sally says, you put your hands together when you pray, and lift them up towards heaven. Very good... says the nun. Just then Jimmy pipes up from the back...... its your legs he says. So the nun asks him why? Well I went into mum and dads bedroom last night and mum had her legs in the air shouting OH GOD..... I'M COMMING, and if dad hadnt been on top of her pinning her down, she would have gone...... with that the nun fainted....boom boom Exit's.....stage left. :>))))

Never mind Tony, you can still buy a six-pack from the local bottle shop .. tee hee Jood

Dear Wattle People Been to Brisvegas today - pouring rain on and off, then arrived home to find we had only had a bit of a spit all day. Bugger! HI Sylvia - please feel free to waffle on with the rest of us. We are all beyond help! Tassie - there has to be an omen in there somewhere - your phone number is your date of birth. Sounds lucky to me. I guess we'll put up with you for another year.... as if we would let our Tassie leave the Wattlers! Go you good thing! Jood - I agree with you. This Mudgee meet is getting to sound like hard work! What happened to sitting around and waffling on and drinking and eating and waffling some more and singing some bawdy drinking songs???? Instead you are all going to be doing strange things with those spaghetti thingies and playing bocci etc - I can't wait to see the pickles! By the way Jood - hope your zapped bits are gettitng better. Been there - done that and know what a nuisance they are. Would love to go to Kunungra but I'm working next week. It will be a dreadful shock to the system but it's at my old school so it will be great to catch up with everyone. Laurie -hope you are enjoying sleeping in your own bed. Is TLR home yet?? Is it wet at your place? SuzyQ - hope you are feeling better. Thinking of you and hope you are well enough to meet up with the others next week. Donna - hope the rain stops before the big game. We wanted rain - but not when the final is on! Will post my lotto numbers tomorrow. In the meantime, have a wonderful wattle day all you wattle people and don't forget the pinch and the punch in the morning. Wow- Spring! We don't seem to have had Winter! Love to all Anna

Evening all - went to airport tonight and picked up TLR, so all is good in the world . . . Rained most of the way into town, but has eased off now! Just a little puppy love because I am home and I miss my Muffy - place is not the same without her . . .

Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful. -Ann Landers ..........

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. -Josh Billings ............ The average dog is a nicer person than the average person. -Andy Rooney ........... We give dogs time we can spare, space we can spare and love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made. -M. Acklam ............. Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate. -Sigmund Freud ..............

If I have any beliefs about immortality, it is that certain dogs I have known will go to heaven, and very, very few persons. -James Thurber ............. If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise -Unknown .............. My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can. That's almost $21.00 in dog money. -Joe Weinstein .............. Ever consider what our dogs must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul, chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth! -Anne Tyler ............... Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. -Robert A. Heinlein ............

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. -Roger Caras ............. If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them. -Phil Pastoret ............
