Welcome Valda Wattlers Really love all you guys Nighty nite, sleep tight Don't let the bed bugs bite Fluffy / Ducky etc

I'm happy to claim you as a cousin, Mary! Thanks everyone for making me feel so welcome here. I've been doing my family tree research now on and off for over 10 years and mainly in isolation so it's lovely to see such a friendly group with a common interest. Night all... make that morning. And thanks again! Valda

Morning all Rise'n shine Valda, we are almost like family here - and help each other with problems .. I'm afraid we are all addicted to the site and sometimes do family history lol .. It's much nicer to share. .. I'm lucky I have just one daughter interested in it. (at least) Laurie thanks for my gg - I hadn't heard of it !!! (but its a kiwi horse, so you never know) - tho the irish name leaves little to be desired - hope the gg runs in the right direction ! .. Have a great Melbourne Cup day everyone. Well - I'm off for shower brekky etc. .. I'll be dressing for the weather methinks - and that means something warm. .. It is sunnier than usual, and the sky is at least blue, pale, that is .. but there is no warmth yet - only 18 deg. Have a great day all, and may you all win some money. Thinking of you Trifley Love Jood

Mornin'All, since I've drawn Geordieland, naturally I will be going to the cup wearing my kilt and tam'o'shanter ! Busy here (as always). Last weekend was Albury Show and despite exams being on, a posse of teens went from here (about ten of them) at 4pm ish and returned at 9pm ish to watch the fireworks from the balcony, then lounge around on the lawn outside in the heat, but the six who stayed over settled down by midnight and slept till 9 on Sunday, so it was extremely easy and they had fun on the rides. Exams seem to be going OK, DD15 never stresses.Two today, Japanese and English. I'm having a bit of fun with an Ancestry contact at the moment, and had a sweet census entry where the new baby is listed as 'new comer' on the sheet. This is the second time that I have found a second mariage for someone, in this case no more kids, but last time I suggested the possibility and there were kids, I haven't heard from the person again! It was his mothers interest in her great-grandparents and I don't think she knew about the second marriage. Today OH and I will be leaving work early and having a BBQ chook and a bottle of champers and watch the racing home by ourselves this afternoon, our tradition. But it will be busy in the shop this morning and we always have sweeps for the customers so that is a lot of fun too. So I'd better get a move on ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ have a lovely day everyone, Heather

Morning Wattlers Mmm Maybe Better????? Better than what? Makybe Diva lol. If so Im on a winner hee hee. Now what to wear to a cup, as I've never been to one before :-( Dont suppose Jeans, Tshirt and runners will pass pmsl, Now that I have the race track just behind us I will have to take notice what others wear, although from what I've seen in the past I will forgo the stillettos, I'd end up doing myself some damage lol. I will go up to the TAB later and put a couple of dollars on Tawqeet, and Pop Rock, as I had already had them picked out, but now I will also but a bet on Maybe Better, as I've got him in our sweep :-))) Good luck to all. Cheers Sue
