We are going to Tradies in Launceston Street and meeting at 12.30 for lunch at around 1pm Yvonne is doing the bookings so email her and she will give you all the why and wherefores. I dont know Canberra very well so she is better in giving directions. That will make 10 for lunch, a lovely number. Anna So glad you are nearly getting your tank connected,, What a shame about all the rain you have missed collecting..Lets hope there is more on the way.. Where is everyone tonight.. I know that some are away and the others must be scoffing their faces..After desert they will be back...lol Merle Hows that leg.????? Princess Lolly What did TLR buy at Bunnings and did he change his opinion of it..Try the same with Hardly Normal.. I could buy a lot more there.. Off to put on the dishwasher.. Gosh doing the dishes is hard work...lol Love Mary. xxxxx

Evening Wattlers Anna I was thinking the same ..... Where is everybody. Hope there is not a party somewhere that we dont know about :-( I have sent you pics of our chrissy lights. We Always like putting up the lights for the kids even the big ones like us lol. We have 2 girls next door and as there are no lights as yet in the neighbourhood, their parents think it is great as they can just send them outside to look at ours instead of driving about :-)))) Hello Sarah you will thoroughly enjoy yourself when you meet the others, I live way down in Tassie as my name says, and I came to Sydney for a meet in August and Im sure you will not find a better bunch of friends anywhere. Cheers Sue

Mary you snuck in under me. I got all excited for a minute I thought you was paying me a surprise visit when I read about your meeting, I read the words Tradies and Launceston and we have a Trades Hotel in Launceston, my city and I though oooooh Im gonna meet you all agin on Saturday, then I read the message properly :-((((( Cheers Sue

Wonderful Sarah, we would love to meet you and welcome to your sister. We are meeting at the Woden Tradies Club, in the Foyer at 12.30. I'll book the table in the resturant for 12.45pm. It's an all you can eat Buffet for about $15 and buy your own drinks. The club is on the corner of Launceston and Furzer St, but the parking and the Club entrance are in Furzer St. Parking is free on the weekend. Looks like I'd better book a table for 10. What fun :)

Sorry Sue.. Would love to come down to Tassie and meet up again.. Perhaps one day we will when we have got the OH sorted out.. I am in need of a holiday ...but cant do much for the moment.. Looking forward to going down to Canberra though as my lovely g/daughter is finishing school and we are going down for the final presentation. It only seemed like yesterday she was born. Then we have Mudgee in Feb, so that will be nice to, then we have Hony Rum comming out from the UK next year snd that will mean another meet..Going to be a good year..next year.. Love Mary xxx

Evening Wafflers . . . all fine on the western front . . . Had a lovely Monday . . . not much H/wk . . but plenty of chatter and catching up with friends. Think I spent most of the day gazeing out over the Bay, and watching the girafes. Maybe tomorrow I might do something exciting like into the city . . if I can get myself motivated !!! Time to call it quits for the night Catch you all tomorrow . . . Nigh nite - sleep well - sweet dreams luv Laurie

Tassie . . . can I please have some pickles of your light house too ??? luv Laurie

You didnt miss meeeeeee tonight - nah - you wouldn't! I was here, but was trying to self teach myself Publisher, in order to type up a program. .. I'm getting there slowly, have put the rest away for tomorrow night (no rest for the wicked). .. It's been trial and error, patience and stubborness lol Mary - you are so much like Cat - not only did you number pinch, but went straight to bed after (that's exactly what Cat does lol) Don't know what happened to K. Beasley's brother, but he had not been ill or sick prior - so sounds like a heart attack. Sarah, I'm not claiming any royal titles either, I'm just Jood :) - but I don't have anything as exciting as convicts or priates in my tree. Night all *yawn* Jood

oh gee, turning about with the sleeping hours. spent the last few on the lounge and now what do i do? you've all gone to bed and I'm talking to myself. cat will be about soon stalking the number. ho hum... deck the halls with bows of holly, falalalalaalalalalaa tomorrow morning i'll be sorry, falalalalaalalalalaaaaaa

Morning Wattlers Bit teary here this morning. Was up a bit early so we could all be together before David went to work to let Antony know what we was going to give him for Xmas, as he wont be here. His mobile phone had broke a week ago and there was a sale on, he wanted one that was on sale and like all kids didnt have the money at that time, so we bought it for him and he thought he had to pay us back today when he go his money, we told him this morning not to worry about the money as it is his Xmas present from us. He had a lovely Xmas card hand made by his other friends that he had also been staying with over the last 6 to 8 weeks when he wasnt sleeping here, to give us for Xmas, and he thanked us for the support, help and the bed we gave him, well I couldnt stop the tears, its just what a Mum does. Im gonna miss him, and I feel he will stay in Vic, just hope he thinks before he acts and keeps himself out of trouble and starts to make a better life for himself. Laurie you lazy person you, oh well we are all guilty of that at times. Have sent you pics of house, have fun shopping today, if thats what you end up doing. I booked myself in for a haircut at 9.30 this morning then it up to Mums at about 12 on the way to the airport by 12.45, so Antony can say goodbye to them too. ~~~~~ to All~~~~~ ((((hugs)))) to Trifley and anyone else who needs one, I do at the moment :-((( Cheers Sue

Morning Wattlers, (((((hugs))))) for Tassie - let's hope it all works out for your son - just remind him he's only a phone call away - lol Why do boys have to be such hard work???????? Had a nice sleep in today but better get my skates on and get some bits and pieces done around here. Hopefully Tony's absence means bub has arrived and he's been busy cuddling his Chrissie present Have a great day everyone. Gwenda

Morning all. Seems OK outside so hope so, cant see through the curtains.. Sue BIG HUGS It must be a sad day for you. I think its not so much the leaving home but the fact that he cant just hop in the car and pop home for a visit as cars dont go through water..well not very easily,,,,,It is a lot harder when you live on an island. I am sure he will miss you and his sisters and will be over as often as he can. Hope his dad looks after him as well as you have. Well must away and get the OH his brekky and then its off to the North Shore Private for the MRI. Printhess Lolly. What are your plans for today,, More Christmas shopping and spending TLR moolar...or bending the plastic... Back later and love to all. Love Mary xxx
