Lucky you, Mary. It's actually getting colder here!!! Out come the winter woollies again. So much for the swimming, brrrrrrr

Hello Sylvia, welcome to the mad house. Mary I didn't get that email but I keep getting emails from all different names but with the PHAR and MCY in the subject title and different letters in between the two. They go to my bulk folder and I just delete them whithout even opening. Jood, Brissy ain't perfect today. Had a shower last night and today is cloudy - no blue sky.........Just wish it would p******* down with rain, put some water back into our dams and water my roses. Lew, hope you got a bus big enough to take the wafflers on tour. Need a big cargo hold to carry all the loot home !!!!!!! Laurie, hope little blue smurf is okay. Give him lots and lots of cuddles. How ya going, Ging Gong - ooops I mean Sandra in the Gong. Coffee calling, be back later Pam

AAHHH SYDNEY... BEAUTIFUL ONE DAY AND NO FROST THE NEXT... Love Mary xxx

Back again, family have headed back to Bathurst - was lovely to have them here, lots of snuggles and sniffers (dont you just love the smell of baby hair). Nah Joodles, not practising to be a granny . . . just a 'grandaunt'. The other two boys have been great entertainment too! Poor little supermummy is very worried about her little smurf, he is thriving, but that they dont know what is causing the trubs is very worrying for her. Sandra I spotted you . . . now I know what you were up to it makes sense. I have Princess in christian name and Laurie in surname - before I was a princess I just had the last lot of bling in the surname slot. Next visitors arrive tomorrow, Ray's uncle from Melbourne returning from Grey Army winter posting up north. But that will just be meals, think they said they had booked the van into a park down at Sylvania. Then on Thursday Amanda (the bride of earlier in the month up in Bris) arrives, she has an exam in city on Friday, and is hanging around to spend the weekend with us. Only having one son for the weekend now, Glen and his girlfriend Narelle are going to use the Grand Final tickets with Ray, Paul can't manage it with early meetings at work on Monday morning. No seats available on planes back to Bris on Monday morning early . . . . wonder why ??? Glen and Nell will be here from Friday night till Tuesday night, so that will be fun. Lew, I got the long sleeves out again this morning, sad after the beautiful days we have been having. Only a little hickup I'm sure you will be back in the pool before you know it. Got heaps of linen to push through the washing machine so best go change the load, catch you all later luv Laurie

SuzyQ, where are you? You're not on the roof with JudeVY, are you????

Isnt Judy YV off that flaming roof yet... I wander if she is stuck...should we send out a search party... Love Mary xxx

She's run off with the munnee - dint you know??????????? Wonder if Lyn has met Trifley yet or was it tomorrow? Just rang Shazz, got her oh and an update. .. She is still not well, has had stomach pains for quite a while now. She saw the Dr this morning, who said he thought it was a pulled muscle. .. Whether that is in fact right - who knows? but he's given her some tablets and she is sleeping right now. Still cold here, tho girlfriend 15 minutes further up the mountain says she isnt cold (but did say she had a jumper on - as I have) Back to me Fambly His Tree Jood

Dedicated to those Wattlers who are conspicuous by their absence..... Right smack dab in the middle of town I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof) And if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two Up on the roof (up on the roof) Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof) Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof) Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)......... Now - you've all had your time up on the roof, so get your backsides trackside and talk to us!!! Been out doing a little retail therapy. Went to a garden centre that has all sorts of beaut nick nacks for interior decorating and bought a few fake succulents to have inside instead of pot plants - no water you see. Saw a beaut apron which I was tempted to buy for Laurie - It had on the front, 'Stuff being a Princess, I want to be a Queen.' Also, there was a dear little old lady with her dear little old husband. She was oohing and aaaahing about the nick nacks. Hubby was shifting impatiently from one foot to another. At last he said accusingly. 'This is not what we came here for.' To which dear little old lady replied, 'Well dear, you go and do what we came here for, because I'm going to have a look at this.' Hubby dutifully went off to do whatever. I felt like going over to her and saying 'Go you good thing' but I thought she may have been embarrassed to have been overheard. Sylvia - is that your son's music? He is so talented. My daughter and I listened to it - you must be very proud of him. I hope he does really well - send him our best wishes from Oz. Chris is outside digging up everything in sight in preparation for the installation of the tank, underground pipes etc etc. He's also going to fill in some low spots in the lawn while he's at it. He's hiring a little digging machine thingy on Thursday - talk about boys and their toys! Anyone would think it was a racing car the way he's looking forward to it!! He's off to Perth to visit an old Uni friend next week - they did a lot of travelling together - will be gone for about 8 days so Katherine and I are going to do girlie stuff! Cheers to everyone Luv Anna

Hello Anna, tell me, did you know Phillipa before she rang you??? News Flash, Dateline Mudgee. .............. Bunnings Opens on Saturday *streamers, fanfare, hip hip hooray!!!*

Afternoon Wattlers, have wasted most of this beautiful day. Plasterer promised faithfully to redo the ceiling today but has now rung to say 'hopefully tomorrow' GRRRRRRR Cant say too much its a freeby. So up to the office and its taken over an hour just to clear out the emails and the post. Wonder what JudeDIY is doing on the roof?? Laurie did you get the parcel? ~~~~to all the lovely Wattlers, I will be back Ohh Lew we love Bunnings Flakey

I have wasted the day too Jude, but not complaining. .. Just having fun. You should know (Flakey) that tradesmen never call when they say they are .. even mine rang at 8 when he should have been here at 6 to say he'd be here at 5 .. pmsl Jood

Hi Jood, I thought this tradesman just might like to be on time as he is one of our subbies...thought he would want to keep on the right side of the boss...lol Story is he is busy doing another job for us that is taking longer than he thought. Jood did you send me that list ? cause I didn't get it. Flakey

Afternoon all :) Teaching this morning then took daughter to the Drs. Still no baby. She reckons she is going to try castor oil!!!! Might not be around much for the rest of the week. Will try and help daughter as much as I can. Youngest daughter and Hubby are due home from Birmingham this weekend. They have had a wonderful time and said the month went too quick. Back to putting a fire on to keep the house warm - just ticking over. ~~~~~~~~~ to all, going for a look see, Vonny

Afternoon Wattlers, Just been chatting with Trifley and then Lynn arrived. We couldn't get there unfortunately. Both sound in good form, hope the coffee is good, they will be drinking plenty. Well, I think we have finished all our running about, a few quiet days sound ideal. I think we are getting some of the southern wind and it is blowing the smoke with it. I can't see smoke but my eyes are watering and it smells awful. No rain yet but we had an electric storm last night. Is Princess DIY off the roof yet? That reminds me of a story and yes it is true. A neighbour of a friend of mine was doing some work on the roof and decided to tie a rope around his waist and tie the other end to his car, just as a safe guard incase he fell. He failed to tell any one what he was doing and his wife decided to go out. In the car. The poor man spent a lot of time in hospital with a lot of broken bones. Thats awful, you shouldn't laugh. Hope you had a good birthday JA, did you get the iPod working? Did you get all the bark out of the pool Lew, had to laught when some one said some thing about it being in a nick. Hope everyone is okay. Shazz, Cilla and any one else under the weather, hope you are feeling well soon. Bye for now Love SuzyQ

Aww Suzy - I did laugh - sorry! <just a wee little bubby bit> But what a silly thing to do ! Jood
