Does anyone else have a cute little tree just before the URL above and also next to the gene entries in their favourites? Is Genes doing a Chrissy thing or a family history thing? Vonny

Hi Shazz. That was nice to have a visit from the Printhess...You is honoured.. John went to see his GP today and I think they are both hitting their heads against a brick wall. We now start on a case of eliminations, and see if they can work out what his problem is,, Starting with all sorts of blood tests and anything else they can think of. I have this awful feeling I am going around in circles. He is steadily getting worse and his legs are getting weaker each week.He might be in a wheel chair if this keeps up much longer. Well this time I am off to bed.. Love Mary xxx

Oh Mary, keep your fingers crossed nothing too serious, sweet dreams and god night Shaz XX

Hugs and prayers Mary JA

Evening all - tho I expect you are just about all in bed now .. I'm heading that way myself with a good book, but don't know how long I'll keep awake. Mary hope they find out what is wrong with John soon, it's a bit of a joke now. Vonny the trees have been 'up there' for yonks - it's a family history thing. If anyone wants a sparkly xmas tree for their desktop - give me a yell. Good luck for Lotto tomorrow night. I'll be buying my lotto for the 23rd very soon. Maybe we will have some West Aussie good luck. Thanks peeps for our xmas cards and good wishes. Nice and cool here this evening, so should sleep well. Nite all Love Jood

Hi guys n gals, Welcome Peter, time Our resident bloke had a mate on the line. You'll have realised by now that we're all refugees from the Loony bin. I'm from Albany W.A. all alone over here and have been gnashing my teeth over all the get togethers over t'other side. Sad to say, my leg was quite warm this morning and the infection has reared it's ugly head again sohave it bandaged and not to touch it till monday morning.Himself rang for a copy of his c.t.scan results today and they wouldnt give it him. Have to go see the doc Monday for that too. Prayers please from all those so inclined. Mary hope they can soon find whats wrong with John BIG hugz for you both. Triff hope you are better too. Didn't get the names relevant to the bodies yet. and Tassie , I didnt get a photo. I'm devastated!!!! I'm sure you are all in bed by now so see you in the morning Luv Me

~~~~~~~~~~ To Merle Sad about your leg. Will pray for you and also for hubby. I see you have accepted your invitation. Hope to see you when you have time to work out another site. :) Love and hugs, Vonny

Day Three Dear Nuala, We must be foremost in your thoughts. I had only posted my letter when the three French hens arrived. There was another sort-out between the hens and the doves, who sided with the partridge, and the vet had to be sent for again. The mother was raging because the bill was £16 this time but she has almost cooled down. However, the fact that the birds' droppings keep falling down on her hair while she's watching the telly, doesn't help matters. Thanking you for your kindness. I remain, Your Gobnait

Morning all Rescued us from Page 4 - everyone is busy at this time of year. We have just been for a walk around our suburb to view the damage done by yesterday's mini tornado. So many trees all along the creek almost destroyed - broken limbs , some snapped off at the base. The tree people are there with their shredder trying to clean it all up. Not much damage to property - a few cars had trees fall on thenm. We were so lucky that no one was injured. 32 mls of rain - our tank is now one third full. Love the Christmas countdown - looking forward to the next instalment. Merle - thinking of you and your OH and hoping all goes well. ((((((hugs))))))) Mary - thinking also of John and sending positive thoughts your way. ((((((((hugs)))))))))))) More storms predicted here today - it's very humid and hot. Seems there has been some respite for the firies for the moment. Not much consolation for those poor families who have lost their homes so close to Christmas. Have a great day - fingers crossed for Lotto tonight! Luv Anna

Morning all, Sorry about the name change last night - I was following up a contact and thought if they saw Christmas Eve-on they might not think I was fair dinkum :) Then I forgot to change back. Cool day today. We will be in Richmond tonight for an engagement party and are going to come straight home afterwards. I'll be wearing the OTHER new dress I bought! So send me a message about our win on lotto tonight:) OK? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all Vonny

Rudee looks like you will be one busy man next week, but i'm sure you will enjoy it all. ((((((((to all those not the best at the moment))))))))))))) oh well tea break over back to the chores ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all wattlers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cheers Luv Sandra in the Gong
