Morning All Well been out done all my shopping and now I can rest for the rest of the day. Mary thanks for holding the fort haa haa, I hope you get results, and good ones at the Doc today. You would think all these on holiday and going off to meets would still at least sign in to say hi instead of having fun haa haa, only joking, just jealous that we are not wilth you maybe I could grow wings and fly quickly to the balcony and be a fly on the wall :-))))))))) Jill yes I do have help, it is a christmas Luncheon for the group Im in called Ladies Glade, we cook and serve a lovely Chrissy lunch, complete with 3 meats, and then about 10 different types of sweets and of course Chrissy pud. The members of the Glade, about 15 of us, do all decorating of hall, prepare, cook and serve up the meals to our partners, RAOB Brothers, and friends that have came along, we also have a few Chrissy drinks and finish off the day with a bit of entertainment, if thats what you can call it lol, a few of us do little skits, all for a laugh, and yes we even have a good ol sing along with Chrissy Carols. ~~~ to Trifley, thinking of you Pam are you ok????

Was so lovely to have Mary come over and suprise the suprisers yesterday .. . . we sat out and had a lovely feed of prawns and a few glasses of . . . umm um mm uummm was it water Mary ?? Well I had best go feed this lot . . . teeheee they think they're getting prawns .. . . and they are . . . luv Laurie

Hi all Wattlers and party goers. Hope everyone is safely away from the fires, they are really terrible, lets hope they don't get the temperatures and winds that are expected. Has the balcoonie colapsed yet? Hope you are all having a great day. I am sure Printheth Loz has many surprises in store for you. Trifley, hope you are feeling better today. Did you get home yet Lew, we have missed you. Sue, hope you have a good lunch with your friends. Tony, I put my tree on tribal pages. What a great site I spent most of yesterday looking through it and Have managed to add a heap of ancesters to my tree and get some details that I didn't have. Thanks No Baby yet, hope all is well. Jill, how is Ron? Sorry you didn't get anything at the auction. Maybe next time. Vonny, I'm glad I'm not the only wattler who doesn't like shopping. I find it very frustraling. Thank goodness for online shopping. Did you have a good time at your dinner. Well, it's almost lunch time in not so sunny Queensland. To date we are having a really good summer, temps below average, it's great, con stay like this all sumer for me, but I don't think we will be so lucky. Bye for now Luv SuzyQ

Haa haa, soooo the surprisers got surprised, good one Mary. hope you have a great day....................... no let me rephrase that. I know you are gonna have a great day. Cheers Sue

Hi Sue, Ron's doing okay thanks, still taking things easy but getting there. Yeah it was a pity about that auction I think what we'll do now is just give them the money and let them choose their own. How are you doing? any idea yet when you have the op, gosh those Balcooonie revelers are making a noise aren't they. I've got to go shopping but can't summon up the energy, better make the effort I suppose or the animals won't get fed, catch you later. luv Jillx

Hi all you waffling wattlers.. Bet they are drowning out the sound of the traffic Laurie..lol Thanks for the wonderful day yesterday Laurie and Pam and Lara.. I did so enjoy it and it makes up for not being able to get there today. .It was lovely to surprise the Boss and Pam, and you dont know how much you all mean to me,, If I could pick my best friends I would pick you lot..Cant wait till Sat. lunch in Canberra. Back later to see what is going on,,and to see if that rabble are behaving themselves.lol By the way ,, The second MRI showed nothing of signifisence, so ??????????????????????. they dont know.. The specialist thought a op on the spine in the neck may help but no promises. So it might fix his neck but may not do anything for his legs. Love Mary.xxxxxxxx

Hope the balcony divs'a are breathing fresh air - here in Albury everyone's smoke alarms are going off - driving the firies crazy because they have to respond to hospitals and large coy's etc even though they know there's no fire - it is THICK with smoke !!!! Heather

Hi again, just spent the last few hours on Tribal pages!! WHY do I have unusual names that noone else is interested in? I managed to pick up a bit of info on a few of John's long dead rellies - Cobcrofts - but I really wanted to do research on MY side for a change :0 *growl over* Hope you all had a wonderful time on the balcoonie. Good on you Mary - glad you pulled a surprise of your own :) Guess Sandra and Yvette are training it back - Jood too I suppose. ~~~~~~~~~~ to Ducky :) SusyQ - we actually enjoyed ourselves at the engagement party, which is nice as we are likely to be asked to the wedding so we can look forward to meeting up with the people again!! The dress was a hit :) Must go and tidy the house or something - make it look like i haven't been sitting at the computer all afternoon! Vonny

Arvo Wattlers. Sounds like the Balcoonie at Botany Bay played host to a group of waffling Wattlers today...:>))))...and i bet much laughter and happiness was on the menu. Victoria is copping it fire wise, with 60 fires now, and in the Gippsland area starting from Bainsdale going right up through Jamieson and up to Whitfield between Myrtleford and Benalla, and more hot dry weather forecast for Victoria over the next few days. The Country is so dry, and one can only pray for rain. God bless and protect our firefighters, as they fight these blazes. Daughter is booked into Dandenong Hospital at 7:00 am to-morrow morning to start things moving.....so all being well and god willing, tomorrow sometime Barb and i will cuddling our 4th grandchild...( CANT WAIT.....:>)))))))))..lol Hope everyone has had a great day. Rudes...:>)))

Hello Wattlers. Well in Laurie's words....honey I'm home. pleasant train ride home. First of all Thank you Laurie for having us and a lovely lunch. What a lovely surprise to find Lara and Fluffy duck there ,what a well kept secret, so nice to meet Lara again and meet a queenslander at last. In all a lovely day all round. Well I am off to have a cup of tea now, might be the first home... out of us longer travelers. Cheers Luv Sandra in the Gong

Hope all goes well for your daughter tomorrow Tony, you know we will all be there for her in spirit, just as well! the room couldn't take us all,lol and could you imagine the noise. Best wishes to all your family at this wonderful time. luv Jillx

Been home since 6.25pm - busy with pickles, just sent you all a copy of usses today. .. Will talk later, anyone who didn't get it please pm me (it's only a small file) B********dy fantastic day! .. Discovered a beaut new bottle of wine that Lyn brought - wow - I'm going to get some for Mudgee - it was strawberry something or other - dont laugh - its great. (Don't worry - if the name puts you off, I'll drink it all by myself!) Well, I'm here now, might as well continue. .. Met Leah, then caught up with Sandra & Yvette. .. Got out of the lift to find Shazz & Lyn peering out of the front door. .. Apparently Laurie had gone shopping. .. We all hugged - and .................... LARA appeared - much yelling hugging screaming ................ and then FLUCKY appeared, more screaming hugging yelling - and then later LAURIE. .. We progressed to the balcoonie - conversations flowing left - right - across the table. Lara had us in stitches over some of her tales - I think the mascara and stuff we had put on so carefully, was running down our cheeks by that time! .. It was soooooooooo good to be surrounded by such lovely peeps. .. No-one was in a hurry to go home, but at long last we stagger ... ermm I mean, walked to the lift and down the street to the bus. .. And that was our wonderful day! .. My thanks to cousin Laurie for your hospitality, your friendship, your fibbies, and your trifle! Jood
