Hi everyone, first things first. Congrats to proud parents and grandies on little Jack's arrival. No wonder he took his time. Do hope all goes well for you all. Triff, glad you are feeling better, Was that you with the tiara on? Great pickles by the way .Thanks. It would be nice to have some names to relevant faces please. Have opened a new folder just for Wattlers pics. Himself and I stopped off on the way home from the surgery yesterday and bought a new combination print/copy/scan so when I master it I'll be able to send some from here. Loved the photo of the bottle girls, am going to see if I can get it here for chrissie day Princess Laurie, was that a threat or a promise for Feb. Either way I'll take you up on that. You all must have had a great day on the balcoonie. Having the 'sneaky' ones turn up would have been a lovely surprise While confined to my bed, I told himself that I should have written my name in French and when he asked why, said I'd get more letters that way. Daughter not at all impressed! Ah well.

Afternoon all, Had a funtastic lunch - can recommend the Tradies buffet - so can half the Asian population - lol. I was standing in line for the Asian food and seemed to be the only Anglo and the only female at the time - pmsl. Sandra - ya would've loved the mussels. could see you swiping the whole tray for yaself - prawns were a disappointment tho - nothing like the Casino - oh well there was plenty to choose from and no-one went hungry Cuz Sarah was there with sister Rachel and Dad Bill - now they know what a nice bunch of peeps we are I'm sure Bill will feel a lot more relaxed about letting his youngsters mix with us - or not Given Sarah all the tips we have on chatting on here and digging up info so she should be well on her way with tracing all the rellies. Tony - no wonder that baby didn't want to come - what a whopper - got a good head of hair - just as well Barcode Barb is a hairdresser - ppppppppppp Vonny - thanks for the lolly bag - Love the 'It take's All Sorts to be Wattlers' -very clever Piccles coming from Mary & Vonny - guess who forgot the camera again - enough to remember to take change of clothes to work and work like mad in 3 hours Trifley - thank you for the lovely Chrissie card - just once I want a white Christmas. Bad luck Mark didn't win but a fine effort nonetheless and he & Graeme should be very proud. Tassie - you have a wonderful party too To everyone sitting in the gutter - enjoy - not far to fall if you have one tooooo many either Hope the smoke clears in Vic soon and may the firies get a break in the weather. Must be time we all did a rain dance ~~~~~~~~to everyone else Gwenda with sticky fingers from a candy cane

Thanks for the piccles Vonny Gwenda - still with sticky fingers - lol

Yes we did have a lovely de-chorus lunch - and we all remarked on the mussels :) Actually I was very surprised with the cost as it was only $12.30 so I think that is why the prawns were a disapointment - John wasn't impressed with them either. We will take you all next year - maybe for dinner as you get a bigger selection of seafood. :) Lovely to meet Sarah and Rachel and their dad Jim - we tried to talk Jim into coming on the thread LOL I do have to report though (being strictly truthful) that we have to watch out for the gorgeous Sarah and Rachel - not all the Asian boys were lining up for food!!!!! And there was at least one note passed (Oooooooo) Great to meet JA finally and catch up again with the others. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Thanks for the lunch pickles. Looks like a good time was had by all. No need to cook tea tonight i am guessing. LOL Was surprised to receive tham so quickly and thought maybe you had all been thrown out. Wondered what you had been up to. Then I remembered the time difference. Silly me. Commiseration to Mark on the lights. But it was a great effort and I think they look great. Tasteful Wattler illuminations, bet the others were a bit over the top. I off See you later Luv SuzyQ

Actually - we were thrown out :) But only because they were closing and we were the last ones left!!!

I've only been gone a week and somewhere along the line I've missed something! Who are Sarah and Rachel? Where did they come from? Why, oh why, are they sooo attractive??? HRH Dr Lew Lew *wanders off to find recipe for pills to make attractive ones less so*

What a lovely lot of Wattlers, keeping up the tradition - four jugs of liquid disappeared quickly -yes we were thrown out, last to leave lol One bottle of champers drunk - Lovely mussles, yum. Lots of Wattle bear look alikes thanks to you Vonny - and a heart shape wattle to boot - thank you Lozs cos are just beautiful - could take up an offer to go into advertising movies thanks to a note dropped on the table - caution prevailed though. Mean FH researcher is our S As for deserts, well Jood I think you have a challanger in Brandy's OH, Mugdee should be interesting lol! Ms Christmas owned up to being naughty with a hallowed institution in the UK, and her wicked ways won out, must be the genes from those ancestors who kept changing their names If you are walking down the street with Brandy and OH, be prepared to be interviewd lol, the mike seems to follow them around! Wattle bear sure had a great time in the US thanks to them! Not sure if J will keep you company Rudee, we did try to get him to to help you out with this lot. Vonny's OH has four, would you believe four boats, and now Vonny is expert on that bidding site!

Hello hello, I had a great time at lunch!! As did Rach and Dad! I would love to see some of the photos as well! Hopefully I didn't do my trademark and close my eyes! Sadly Rach has decided to turn down her offer to be in advertising... it just isn't a good time at the moment... haha... The food was beautiful. I would have liked to get more ice cream but a 'lovely' lady decided to steal the scooper off me. I can't wait to have another gathering! Sarah :@)

It looks as if the Canberra branch of the Wattlers did us proud. Getting kicked out of somewhere.......that's the ticket!!!! Is it my imagination or are the Wattlers recruiting younger and more bewdiful looking members? Sarah and Rachel certainly are good looking! How's the gutter party going????? Hugz TX
