That's it.......I given up waiting for my horses to come home......they are definately nags! Didn't even win on the sweep at the Oncology clinic! Congrats to all those who won some money.....I'm sure you'll all use it wisely....you know....like on clothes, jewwellery or perfume :) I came home to find Graeme and Mark STILL fixing lights on the roof. They have that section almost finished......we are going to switch them on for a quick look tonight to make sure they are ok. Eight sets done.....45 more to go! Anna....fingeers XXX'd that Toowoomba get lots of rain from the 25th Nov. Big healing hugz for Katherine.....although I am glad she didn't come down with this virus when we were there. The general consensus is for Chinese tonight...uummm...yuuummmyyy. Might have to find a nice light white to go with it. Big hugz and love to you all Trifley X

I've been meaning to tell you ...over the last 3 days I've had 2 successful 'Hot Matches'....one for Graeme's side and one for mine....yiipppeee! I do love it when a tree sprouts new shoots. TX

Hello Sandra - I've already noticed what a nice bunch of friendly people you have here! Jood you ask who I'm looking for - well, I'm trying to find out what happened to my gx grandfather - no idea where or when he died. The family went from Victoria to Bourke and settled in Katoomba in the 1890s but he seemed to get lost somewhere in Victoria along the way. I'm also wanting to find out where my other gxsomething grandfather was born etc in County Cork in Ireland and why he was transported for vagrancy. And even more, I'd like to know why he was sent to Bathurst, lived there for many years, right through the gold rush and why I am not rich! Ah the mysteries of life!

Hi Trifley, Hi Valda, sorry Valda can't help with any Ozzie lookups only arrived here myself 33yrs ago. I'm trying to chip away at an Irish brick wall, slight luck on my side by having Irish indexes at an Family History Centre quite close to me, about three quarters of an hour drive away, so if you want lookups just pm me details. Anyone seen pussy? psml Jillx
