G'day Wattlers I remember my glory box.......Was the top shelf of our floor to ceiling, and wall to wall wardrobe. Had lotsa goodies in there. Have lots of cup, saucer, plate sets and still have so many doilies my Nana used to do for me each birthday and christmas, they just don't wear out. Glad to see you back to your usual self, Shaz. Mad as a hatter !!!!! LOL Laurie did ya git rid of ya nits ?? did ya ??? Maybe Jill could tell you what to use.........NOT Donna, so happy that the news from the specialist is good. The pain is fixable so that will improve you frame of mind too. Zack has done extremely well and glad to see Dan is settleing. That would have to be a load off your mind. Flakey, we'll leave you to your paper work........... Loz, my Mum has a full set of Royal Albert dinner set plus lots of accessories I have bought her over the years. One of the Rose designs - not the country rose but the other. I've told Mum I have laid claim to the set when 'she kicks the bucket' and so has my s-i-l. Standard joke in the family. Would love to go shopping where you go - brilliant prices... Laurie, I don't think what OH is doing at O'Reilleys is interesting ........ collecting snails - yuk. I'm good at standing on them and wiping out colonies of the little bu**ers. He rang me from the museum this morning before they took off, and said the museum want him to do a workshop in Dec in Sydney............mmmmmmmmm wonder if I could hide in his suitcase. Gwenda, I have my dental checkup in a couple of weeks. Have to make the appointment at previous check up for the next one........really hard to get into our dentist. If you are taking over Dr Lew's job and dispensing pills, please send some my way, I could do with quite a few. Btw, please no big files or piccles, have just about used up my months download in just 10 days. I will be getting sooooo frustrated in a couple of days, you will probably hear the head banging and foot stomping from here. Will catch up with the piccles at Mudgee if that is okay.... Lara, glad you and Cassie have some time together. Take good care of the babes..........sorry, can't help with the puta stuff. Nearly 1 year old..........WOW Lara, please slow down, you are making me dizzy....Whatcha going to the GC for? Anything special.....Mini meet ??????? Back later Pam

Yaa----hoooo books balanced I'm outta here, going home to sit in the sun with a cuppa. Be back later Flakey

I'v lost the plot !!!!

Hi Wattlers, Just popped in while I had the pc free for 5 mins, I have 2 teanager grandsons staying at the moment, they hog the pc when not playing the XBox. They are eating machines, roast dinner last night, cooked eggs/bacon home made bread for breakfast, pizza for lunch(home made), more roast pork for dinner tonight, they love my roasts as you can tell. Hope all the unwell people are feeling better. Gwenda put me on your list for not having large attachements, as we are creepy towards our limit this month. Thanks. Everyone else hope your having a good time what ever you are doing. Have to go now catch you all soon Cheers Sandra in the Gong

hee hee..Laurie. Your allowed to lose the plot mate. Lost mine years ago...lol......... Lost it, then found it...then lost it again, so went and bought meself one at Springvale Cemetery...LOL THE MEN IN MY LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE Seems only yesterday, I heard my daughter say: 'Daddy! There's a boy outside - his name is Rod. He wants to play in our back yard. Can he Daddy? Can he Daddy? Please - Daddy.' There wasn't so long ago She came to me and she wanted to know: 'Daddy! There's a boy outside - his name is Lee. He wants to carry my books for me Can he Daddy? Is it all right - Daddy? He's got freckles, Dad. Then came pony tails and jeans My little girl was in her teens: 'Papa! There's a boy outside - his name's Tom. He wants to take me to the prom. Ok Papa? He's cute Papa! We'll be home early - Papa.' Well, before I knew it, time had gone My, how my little girl had grown: Then it was: 'Uh! Father! There's a boy outside - his name is Eddie He wants to know if we can go steady? Can we Father? Yes Father? Oh! can we borrow the car Pop?' Yes, it seems like only yesterday I heard my lovely daughter say: 'Dad! There's a boy outside - his name is Jim. He asked me if I'd marry him? I said yes, Dad! - Got something in your eye - Dad? I love him Dad.' Refrain: A child, an adolescent, a young lady, a wife Oh! and oh yes, Heh! Heh! There's another man in my little girl's life 'Hi Dad! There's a boy outside - his name is Tim. I told him Grandpa was gonna baby sit with him. Thanks Dad. Bless you Dad. Goodnight Dad.' Tony Oz..:>)))

Morning everyone :-)

Ah Tony that one is sooo sweet ! Made me start singing this one . . . . Ma, he’s making eyes at me Ma, he’s awful nice to me Ma, he’s almost breaking my heart I’m beside him Mercy! Let his conscience guide him! Ma, he wants to marry me Be my honey bee Every minute he gets bolder Now he’s leaning on my shoulder Ma, he’s kissing me Ma, he’s making eyes at me Ma, he’s awful nice to me Ma, he’s almost breaking my heart If you peek in, can’t you see I’m goin’ to weaken Ma, he wants to marry me, Be my honey bee Ma I’m meeting with resistance I shall holler for assistance Ma, he’s kissing me This one brings back lovely memories of my Mum singing and hamming it up big time - only one she did better was Annie Get Your Gun !! Can see her up on the dinning room table (which for our lot was the size of the stage in the local hall) getting right into it !! I am so luck to have had so much laughter in my childhood from mad parents, hope I have managed to pass enough of it on (makes mental note to overdose sons next visit north) luv laurie

The kids think they are the best dinners I have ever cooked, god bless their little cotton socks !!!!! Talk soon Mel

All I can say is hi, all that stuff is just too much to take in. Glad you have had some good news Donna and i'm sympathetic to those who are hosting male eating machines. When i drive into town i always see the lucky ones (with c/van in tow)embarking on the Mt Ousley road on their way up the coast. I hate that road, but its the way to QLD. made me think of you lara with your next trip. Do you go the coast way to wollongong? Are your visitors the ones from Cobar Laurie, will you ask them if they know any Ponders please? its a minute chance but worth the ask. i thinkn its pretty nice that you hang out with the Austr. bunch Julie. Never mean to be mean to ya. jood, did you dream about young fellas last night? ok, same story- get ready for work. its chilly hey? anybody been swimming today. love to you all see you later love Yvette

~~~~to Yvette~~~~~~~ I know the feeling about remembering everything lol. I usually write it down as I go along but didn't have the energy this morning. Donna I'm glad to hear that the pain is caused by something that can be cured (((((hugs))))) to help you feel better. Laurie and Tony thanks for the songs lol Hope you all have a good day :-) Catxx

Hi Cat person~~~~ Tony, Laurie your singing my Dad's favourite songs today, along with 'Two Little Girls'. Bringing back lots of memories of Sunday drives in the FJ. Donna glad you have some answers, Vonny hope your lot are feeling better. ~~~~Mel, wondered where you'd got to. Have to get dinner going BYEEEE Flakey

Good evening all, OH and I have had a bottle ’o bubbly tonight to acknowledge our 19 days without DD15 – we have had a chance to talk over our past together and our future together, and we both miss our little duck too……………. She called last night from Kyoto, and today took the bullet train back to Tokyo for a last minute shop and evening meal together, and the group flies back to Melbourne overnight. We expect her back at about 1pm in Albury - (aren’t mobile phones GREAT!! ). DD15 sounded fantastic last night, her host family was wonderful, but she wants PIZZA tomorrow!!! Gwenda - send all and any photos my direction, especially Washington DC where OH and I met and I lived for 5 yrs (OH 13!) ……….I hope you visited Mr Lincoln. Donna – yay tendernitis - take the pills (no, not Lew’s lol) !!!! - what a relief to get the good news. Laurie - is this the same Gracie Fields that my 87 yr old Dad adores LOL I don’t think he heard of that one !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the songs Tony and Laurie, keep 'em going! Mel – gal after my own heart, while DD15 has been away in Japan OH and I have made do with: cooked chook from deli, leftovers, toast with leftovers, salada crackers with tomato and leftover cooked chook, saladas with tomato and cheese, boiled eggs and toast soldiers for tea etc etc – grocery bill paid for my hair cut and colour today!!! NOTE TO SELF – try to simplify the evening meals, we might all enjoy eating simpler and lighter. Vonny thinking of you and dau’s family, its such a busy time, with tiny babe in the house every day is full. Glad you can ease the burden by looking after Mia. Hope the car business gets sorted straightforwardly. Just had dear, dear friend drop by to invite us for next Australia Day – her hubby of sixteen years is to be Naturalised on next Jan 26th, she’s very pleased !! Hmmmm – I think I have to plot and plan a surprise box for him – eucalyptus mints, Rawleighs, Anzac biscuits, etc etc…………….. Hmmmmmmm Must go now and have a (relatively) early night. I am so looking forward to DD15 being home tomorrow, I’ll let you know the eagle has landed as soon as I can, but I imagine that life will be pretty social for the next few days ( phone has already rung a few times with peeps asking when is she back !!) And as we share this family ‘puta – I may not be on quite as much LOL ! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all, Hz

Evening all Jude, glad the books balanced and you had an early mark...... Sandra, the male eating machine doesn't get any better... mine is now 30 and still eating !!!!!!!! Lots of lovely singing today.......not what I am used too, my Dad's favourite was Mario Lanza (sp). Have never ever heard my Mum sing. Was thinking about that recently after reading the wattlers thread. Thought it really strange..... Hi Mel, glad to see you are still in the land of the living .... and no problem children ..mmmmmmmmmm......me thinks that needs to be changed. Get you in practice for the years ahead. Hi Yvette Hz, enjoy tonight together and enjoy tomorrow even more.....mmmmmmm .pizza sounds good Pam
