Afternoon all and WELCOME BACK Shazz :) That's funny, there's a new blond on here too!!! Spoken to the new mummy and she was soooo glad to be in her own bed last night and got a great sleep. So we are going over for another look this afternoon. :) Apparently there is a rush of babies in Canberra at the moment - counts back 9 months - Ahhhhh what were their parents up to for Christmas and New Years Eve? PMSL Glad the weekend's here. Had a bit of a reaction to the last few days and could do with the break. Expect Gwenda and Wattie will be home soon and my youngest d and hubby are also on their way. They are having a few days in Singapore to de-brief on the way home. ~~~~~~~~~~~ catch you later Vonny

On her way to afternoon nanna nap....Queen Trifley ~~~~waves to Shaz. Dr (local GP) checked me out....all systems functioning as well as can be expected. I'm very lucky I have such a good, caring GP. Hugz Trifley X

Afternoon Wattlers :-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Im a happy vegemite. We are now back on broadband so I can acess here easier. I was having trouble getting on here as with the dial up being so slow and it seemed this site was slow I got sick of waiting and gave up on getting on here, but now Im back :-))))))) And what is the first thing I see Shazz thats not nice thing to say and I thought we were all friends on here :-)))) lol only joking. Ok off to read the rest of the messages and try and catch up with whats been going on. ~~~~~~~~~~ madly to all~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cheers Sue

Afternoon Wattlers from a very pooped Flakey, i've spent the day sanding and then undercoating the new ceiling. Thought I'd save hubby the trouble and just leave the finishing coat for him to do. Me and my big ideas....cause we have a waterbed and it can't be moved its up and down the ladder every couple of minutes and with bending the head back to look at the ceiling,.... now the legs and the neck ache. Think a spa is in order tonight. Then tomorrow I can clean and get the room back to normal. In the middle of sanding I tried to clean the dust off the glasses and guess what? yep, they snapped in half. So quick trip to OPSM and a new nose piece fitted for free and back to work. Welcome home Shazz, we missed ya. Thanks Jood I love the big writting, you is a clever bunny. Mices,,,yuk I've got frogs and lizards but I dont want no mices or snakes. Hope to catch up properly tomorrow. ~~~~~~everyone Flakey

Oooo Lew hairdressers - mmmm I'm only about 12 weeks overdue for a haircut and in dire need of a dye job - its hard work being a blonde -pmsl - its just I hate going to the hairdressers - 3 hours when I could be doing so many other things!

Can hear the car pulling in so best go and face the music! Have a great evening everyone Cheers Anna

Evenin All Vonny, how did new Mum get a great sleep having to get up umpteen times during the night. That is the best part of being in hospital.... You enjoy your weekend and treasure the cuddles. Trifles where do you get an understanding dr in this day and age. Had a wonderful dr before we came to the island. He had been our doc for over 25 years, and had been through thick and thin with us. The drs we have been to here are very ...mmmmm.....I think the word is clinical, maybe uncaring........dunno It is obvious Tassie is now on broadband.....emails ...... yea. Flakey, hubby needs to shout you a really good massage........you deserve it.. We have lots and lots of tiny little frogs here especially after it rains. They only grow to about an inch long and come in lots of colours ..... green, yellowy green, silvery green, bronzy green, goldy green......Oh so cute. Love living in my roses, in particular the ones whose petals last longest. Jude 3...LOL re your friendly little Chinese man. Fingers double xd Thanks for the email Tony re the lotto numbers. Better get a move on designhhhhhhhhhing that bed. Daughter's holidays will be finished soon.. Had home made spag bol last night including garlic bread...Even had a bottle of red (not normally a red drinker) , a cab merlot - clean skin. Absolutely bewdifuuuul. And cheap too, only a couple of dollars - would have bought a case or two or three if we had known it was soooo good. Luv ya Mary Anna, be firm but loving....take care If it doesn' take too long to load up, will be back later Pam

'evening All, What a big week! I'm like Tony, TGIF. I also saw 'The Devil Wears Prada' last night with a big bunch of friends, loved it, Meryl Streep's character didn't have to say anything for you to know what she thought!! I give it three stars out of four. I am thrilled tonight to discover that DD's weekly school newsletter has photos from Japan attached, so we have seen her at a temple, at the markets, on a train and at the host school in classes which have included phys ed (volleyball and kendo), calligraphy, chemistry, English(!), and they all look very happy. And DD's best friend has had an email saying that the boys are very cute ! (her mother told me!!) Oops, phone ringing again, the parents network is working tonight now the photo's are up on the site.~~~ will catch up over the weekend, go Weagles.......~~Hz

Goodevening Wattlers. Just thought I`d let you know I had a phone call from Lara this morning, she is staying at Maryborough QLD at the moment and she is coming out on Sunday for a visit, and I am looking forward to meeting her, it will be nice to put a face to her name. Cheers Pat QLD.

Hi Pat, where abouts are you Pam Biebie Island

Isnt that girl cheeky - Mary, I mean! She has me chasing firies .... not true - I didnt even know what they looked like except one was old, and fat - I was too embarrassed to look! But I was given the name of a gastroenterologist (hmmm big word) tonight - he flirts I'm told (probably not with me, as the girl who told me was much much younger) .. as you know, my poor Professor gastro. etc.... suffered a brain tumour. .. such a waste. I hope I am not procrastinating when I say I'm gonna work real hard over the weekend - on the house, not the computer :( .. well I will try. Bedtime now Jood

I'm still here, ducked over to that 'other' thread .. the one I refuse to participate in. .. Looks like someone has been rebell-yus lol Its boring. Safe driving Lara Wilson - are you home yet?? Cilla - results ??? Tassie, Shaz, - nice to see you back Tony - Thanks for the lotto (you did say they were winning tickets didnt you??) By the way mate, cable and adsl are tops, but dial up is fantastic if it's the only option you have when you are away from home .. lol <I'm sure Tassie will vouch for that> Jude - do what Lew did - go to the hair dressers and get all tizzied up, and Ken will say you look luverly .. lol Buggar this - I'm off to bed - I said that before, didnt I?? Jood
