Oooooh Lew lew - you never told us you were going to Thailand - are you meeting OH for a romantic liasion????? .. pmsl (naughty) Jood

Hi Everyone, Sorry to hear about your hands Suzy, hope you don't have to wait to long for the op. We've had some dramas here with Ron, he came out of hospital Mon. then early hours of Tues saw us wizzing back to the hosp. He's been passing lots of blood clots but some were blocking up and causing him a lot of pain. I won't go in to all the details, too much info for you,lol, but they kept him in till last night. He's not feeling the best this morning so we might be ringing his surgeon and asking for advice if things don't improve by lunch time. catch you all later, luv Jillx

Good Morning all, As Laurie said its going to be a hot sunny day in SE Queensland. Hope you get the roof finished today. Jill, So sorry to hear that Ron's op hasn't been all plain sailing. I hope it is sorted out soon. Cilla, When I went for test yesterday it surprised me to hear that the pins and needles in my hands could be caused by 3 things, Carpel tunnel, brain tumour or a back problem. I am pleased to say mine is also carpel tunnel. Anna, I had several months on the rack and I think it eventually worked, well the sciatic pain has almost gone now. It is a weird feeling, my physio said I would feel as if my daks were coming down, that was a good way to describe it. My praise goes out to all the firies working so hard around Australia at the moment. I just think it's a shame that they don't get the same cudo's as those given to the cricketers and other sports people. I wonder how much applause they get at the end of a hard days work. And many don't even get paid. Good to see you back Ducky. Well, back to some h********k. Luv SuzyQ

Sandra It was very hot here yesterday but around 5 it turned quite cool and when we went to the club for dinner it was very cool. Better go and get the OH some lunch so back later Love Mary xxxxx

G'day Wafflers Another warm day on the GC of Queensland. I don't think it'll be long before we crank the air con into action. Jill....sorry to hear Ron is not progressing as hoped. I bet he's feeling miserable. A big healing hug for him and a fun, supportive one for you, my friend. SuzyQ.... will you have to go on a waiting list for your surgery or do you have health insurrance? You are right about the firies. We as a nation seem to idolise sportsman when we should really be looking to the likes of the firies as examples to follow in life. L'oz...not too much speeding on that mower! You're not practising for Indy you know heee heee. Joodles....got the Blue Mountains map.....thanks. Told Graeme about the fires and he knew exactly where they were. I knew Crew was going to Thailand.....I thought she mentioned it on here? She is going from one extreme to the other. Antarctic in January and Thailand in February. Crew.....have fun with your school bus duties.....do you have a special sign you can put on the side of Lilly? I'm off now to get the last minute supplies for the weekend......it wouldn't do to run out of Gin! Have a great day folks. Big hugz Trifley X

just having a peek on me way thru to bed.......hi all!!!!

Hello McMad! You crazy girl, go to bed, heeeee

~~~~~waves to Mary. You snuck in under me. Glad you had a good time with your brother. Wot do ya mean.......delinquents?????? I'll have you know we are going to be well behaved! Wouldn't look good for the Wattlers to be splashed all over the front page of the paper.....heeee heee. JA....,got your pickles.....they certainly made things to last back then. Gotta go 'Bye TX

i is having a wee cuppa and waiing on me mobile fone charging up else i have no alarm in the morning!!!! and no one about next door so thought i'd look on here!!! !PMsl

Okay, just as long as you're not lurking around like Julie Cat, trying to pinch our numbers, pmsl

wot you mean pinch your numbers??? lolol

Yes, I wouldn't put it past you! heeeee

but i dinny understand wot you mean by that

Hi all Whatcha doin' hangin' around the Wattle thread Mc Nickerless? And tryin' to make out you don't know about the numbers.......!! Methinks you'll be tucked up in bed before the next 100 comes up so we're safe. Jilly - so sorry to hear that Ron is not going so well - healing hugs to him and supportive ones to you. I hope you can make it on Saturday but obviously it depends on how Ron is. Trifley - you've not commented on getting up to see the sun rise - that's why we need the alarm clock Lara - to get the Queen up and about early. After we've drenched her in coffee. SuzyQ - how long do you think it will be before you get your hands fixed? And you're right about the rack - it feels as if you're losing your daks! Jood - hope the fires are settling - I haven't been to the NSW bushfire site today but I was checking it yesterday. Catch you all later Luv Anna

Anna, woke to a nearly blue sky with just a bit of grey on the horizon (smoke) - according to my RFS source, the fires are further away near the Putty area. .. Bit of a weather change apparently, but they are burning off still, in some areas while they can. .. Winds are light thank goodness, and its reasonable inside with just the fan going. DD changed her mind about going to Sydney for the 3 days, and is just going into the city for an appt today. .. She has to go back to school (teaching, after her maternity leave) next month for the few weeks till breakup. .. I don't think she would be looking forward to that very much. Getting a tad hungry - after all its 1:50, I must have a bite to eat before I faint .. hahaha (then I will need a nanny nap, and then I pack for the weekend.) Cheers Jood

Thanks Jood for the map, put my mind at ease last night and today is so much cooler here and the wind has dropped, those firies get my vote too they are wonderful. (healing hugs) to SuzyQ and Ron. I am finding out tonight whether I and another Mum have to be chaperones for the Duke of Ed kayak down the river on the weekend - only 10 kids and a male teacher, we have volunteered to go if no-one else can ! Both of us are a bit tentative - my DD says 'go mum' and hers says 'aw mum, we're supposed to do this stuff without our parents' lol. But they have to have an adult girl along. With my mozzie patch and sunblock I'll cope if need be! I think we're just going downstream from Noriel Park towards Howlong, there's probably a friendly farmer's field to camp in. If I get as far as you, Lara, I'll wave, lol ~~~~~~~~~~~ to all, Hz

Hi wattlers, Just had a message from Donna, I wrote to her this morning, here it is. Sorry I haven't been in touch but the pain in my shoulder is sometimes unbearable and I find it difficult to type and move the mouse about so not been on much. Had 2 weeks off work but that didn't help, I have bursitis so my doc is sending me to a specialist in December - let's hope he can do something other than painkillers. Yeah 3 weeks tomorrow and Carley will be here, we are getting ready - Daz has started to decorate and he has done the gardens but he is down in Sydney now till next Thursday on business so I am left to my own devices - struggling along. I am very busy just got Neville's grand parents marriage cert, so I am trawling my way through Ancestry. Catch up later Luv SuzyQ

Hi all, finally got home, went for a job int. today but the highlight was meeting a bunch of Korean lady tourists on the train. Only 1 spoke english. we were considering catching the bus but I took them on the guided walking tour of Nowra instead. I had 1 1/2 hours to kill. left them at the club with taxi ph. no., bus timetable, train timetable and a map from the tourist info centre. we picked lttle gum branches to wisk away the flies and generally had a fun time trying to understand each other. met them back on the train again. , asked me if I would like to go to sydney with them tomorrow. what a shame i have to work, i would have gone. Hz, i would Kayak with you too, how much fun will you have!. I have 2 sleeps of messages to read, i did catch butts - do a binocy. zoom for me jood. Trifley, if you went to bed a bit earlier, you could seek revenge on the dog and chuck it outside real early. Lovinginess, grins and happiness to all. For everyone suffering, i hope all the aches and pains and aweful bits start to subside soon. yvette x

waves~~~~~~ Hi everyone passing by again, stripping going fairly well....HEY !!! the crop i mean lol. Oooo bad vision i just gave myself pmsl. Total fire ban days and wind knocking the time table about a bit, but slowly getting there. Hugs to all that are not as fit as they would like. Merle, i know it is days since you wrote it, but i lived on a mine site for a while out from Lake King, near Lake Grace, Hatters Hill, in the Frank Hann national park. What i time we had, three kids, OH, cat, dog and me in a bus...must have been mad. Lovely ,memories now though lol. Ok got to go again. we came home early to fix a break down, so need to take advantage of the time here and prepare for the next day or so. Take Care Wilson
