HO HO everyone, I've had the funiest of days, gone in a flash, was going to do so much but I've seem to have been on the phone most of the day, first a girlfriend then my sister then another girlfriend then our puta man arrived, oops forgot he was coming, good job I was still home, he and I chatted for ages, it's not me that knows how to talk a lot, honest! finally got the Aussie chrissie cards written, took them to the post office then made a donation to the woollies fund, hardly bought anything but still cost an arm and a leg, well I couldn't resist the special dog chrissie presents and I do have four dogs, they'll love them. Tomorrow I'm picking the gkids up at 9am and taking them down the coast to Wet an' Wild for a fun filled day, keeping them o'night might get to catch up on h/w round about Friday, dontcha just love christmas. deep breaths deep breaths, lol Jillx

does that cat realise all the extra stuff she sticks on here is bad for my eyes. takes so much longer to read, why can't she (hmmph, yes you cat ) be patient like all us. missed the last bit of the cricket, golly, i never tire of watching the aussies thrash the poms. suckers , they'll never get that urn back now. they've already got one relic with offspring, that should be ample. waffle on. finalised my new little job - 14 hrs spread over 3 days - nice. went to meet and greet, & drink and eat with the new work buddies this arvo and start 2nd January. eldest child is hovering so c u later love Yvettex

Evening Wattlers, Hope you all had a great day, mine consisited of gym, 2 yearly boob squeeze (don't you just love it). walk with friend and then after dinner mowed the back lawn, I am absulutley knackered now. Laurie you must have lost kilo's with all that stair climbing, holidays are looking good. Mary have a great time in Orange. Trifley good luck tomorrow Ducky have a lovely time with mel, not long enough but never mind (((((((( to all not well)))))))) and ~~~~~~~~~~~ to all ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'm off to chill in the rrecliner, I think I deserve it catch you tomorrow cheers Luv Sandra in the Gong

Wot's ya new job Fanny - wot you doing???? I'se worn out too Sandra, I went all round the housewares/homewares shops today (my sister used me as the excuse, but she didn't really have to, as she knows I'm a sucker for those kinda shops). .. Bought a few necessary (hmmmm) items, that don't weigh very much. .. For some reason was thinking of Mary and her houseware shop she sometimes talks about. A few more shops to look at - she (sister) knows my favourite ones, and she likes them too. .. We will be going into the country one day, Toodyay (where they hold the annual Avon Descent race (white water rafting) - I am going to do some research on my kid's ggrandparents on my ex mother in law's family (she was adopted, I told you all). .. On Wednesday I am meeting one of that family for lunch, she was in the same highschool and business college as me, same age as me, had same teachers, even lived across the road from my aunty, but we never knew each other. .. Should make for some interesting conversation. Nearly time for all you eastern staters to think about beddy byes. Love Jood

Gosh, have been trying for ages to work the notepad but not letting me, so am just testing. Loz have a safe trip tomorrow and if I dont hear from you before you go have a great xmas and happy new year Hi to other wattlers, will see if I can get my notpead working so as to add a little more Shaz

Shaz, use Word and then copy and paste Jood

Hi Joods I'm still up, my sis went to an opening of a new kitchen stuff shop saturday was it the same one you went to, be funny eh? she bought a circulon wok sought of pan, we were on the phone to each other while she walked around the place, can you remember her? she looks like me, pmsl, Jillx

Hi Jill - no - didnt see your sis lol. .. I think you said she lives around Fremantle, and we were in Innaloo, near Scarborough apparently. .. I just cheekily reminded bil we hadn't been to Fremantle fish markets for a feed of fish'n chips and he said just as cheekily back to me - 'you've only been here 2 days' (actually its 4, but he likes to stir me). I doubt I could have fitted a wok in my case, somehow! .. Sister said it may have been Houseworks, who recently took over from WA Salvage Company. (Still owned by Bunnings tho) Jood

Hi Joods, sis and bil loved that salvage shop well bil did, wonder if thats where the new place is, My sis lives in Palmyra, house is up for sale at the mo, so many peeps want to buy but they all are in chains, (stop it !) ooh your mind Joods ! tehe tehe, They want to take the house off the market until after Chrissie, sis is fed up with having to do h/w all the time for presentation. Glad your bil seems ok, luv Jillx

Evening Wattlers. Bewdiful stary night in Melbin. Barb is busy potting plants, Petunias ( seeing its cooler ) Was working up at Monash Uni ( Berwick ) today....Big job. I had to sit for what they call an Induction. Its a 1hr computer course to check your knowledge on safety, before they will let you contract on the campus. When you pass the Induction they give you a Cert. to prove you have passed....:>))) Whooopee. I now have a Uni degree. Not bad for a primary school drop out....lol Came home and celebrated with a few amber fluids...i was so overcome by excitement. My Mum will be extatic...:>))) Lara.

Shaz

Tony - you now have letters are your name?? - ermmm lemmee guess wot! ......... MVB ? .... (tee hee) Just about ready to hit the hay myself actually. .. I've got a good book which I have to finish before I leave (tho, if I don't, I'll try and get it from the local library in theBlue Mountains) Shaz, when your computer plays up - always reboot. .. I knew notepad and word pad were in accessories, I was talking about Word. .. (Look in Programs for it) Nite all Jood

Good luck in your new job. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~to all Catxx

Day Six Nuala, What are you trying to do to us? It isn't that we don't appreciate your generosity but the six geese have not alone nearly murdered the calling birds but they laid their eggs on top of the vet's head from the pear-tree and his bill was £68 in cash! My mother is munching 60 grains of Valium a day and talking to herself in a most alarming way. You must keep your feelings for me in check. Gobnait

Morning Wattlers Well we had a good but sad night last night. Dannielle had her presentation night and with her being in grade 6 it is an end of an era, which I felt a bit sad about, as I had gone to the same primary school as did my brother and sister, now that my youngest has left primary, it means no more going to the school for functions or some other reason :-( Thinking of the firies and families still in fire effected areas, hoping they get the fires out before this weekend so the firies can spend chrissy day with their family. David and myself was talking last night and we are thinking about going to St Helens, which is near where the fires were earlier last week for a break. We are kid free for 3 days at begininng of Jan and if our landlord's shack is empty we might go and stay for a couple of nights, just the two of us, sitting on the verandah, having a quiet one or two, looking out across the bay, mmmmm I do love that area. Tony congrats on getting your certificate. Looks like self teaching is better that being taught by the education dept :-)) Sorry to the teachers, or ex teachers on here,I know you do the best job you can, just sometimes you learn more by life experiences that in the classroom. ~~~~ to all~~~~~ Merry Christmas. Cheers Sue

Morning all, well if this keeps up I’ll be well and truly smoked by Xmas, bet I don’t taste as good as ham or chicken though, and eucy isn’t the best flavour for eating lol – someone said the fire is at Porepunkah and Buffalo but there’s absolutely no wind, anyway, it’s close and smelly here, visibility two blocks. House lost in Beechworth yesterday as neighbour used slasher, sparked a grassfire, got the house next door !! – not entirely destroyed but bad enough. Loved “Casino Royale” last night, got the royal treatment re food and drink, long action packed movie and Daniel Craig is terrific in it. Have added Czechoslovakia to ever-growing list of places to see before I die! DD15 has orientation at Maccas tonight – she has noticed that earning money is useful!! Has two friends working there already so I’m content. Healing vibes to all needing them, thinking of you and ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to all, Hz

Morning all Rescuing us from the back pages! Everybody must be busy, busy, busy. Laurie - hope you have regained some energy and will be home to your little piece of heaven soon. Tassy - I can understand your mixed emotions last night - end of an era as you say. Maybe one day - not too soon mind you - you'll have grandchildren going there! Mary - safe trip and hope John is not too uncomfortable. Trifley ----- hug(((((mwah)))))))) Duckers ....don't melt down the plastic too much! Hope the fluey people are feeling better - what an awful time of the year to get the bug. Back to h..w..k ................yuk.. Have a great day Anna
