Just signing in for the New Year - looks like John is going to join the lurgy brigade - just as well we have three bathrooms!! I think he has eaten too many apricots!! Was a great start to 2007 for us - eldest son was discharged from hospital and they are now saying he only has one broken thumb and that the other hand will be ok once the swelling goes down and the stiches are out. He passed his memory test today, although his immediate memory is still a bit wonky, but his long term one is back!! His wife has next week off work to look after him. We had all the family over today and had our 'Christmas'. They have just gone home. We are a bit tired as we went to bed early last night and then were woken with all the fireworks. But not anything like your neighbours, Sandra! The new dishwasher is getting a work out BUT I can't use my new clothes line because of the rain!! gee, if I knew getting a clothesline would break the drought, I would have bought one ages ago LOL Glad you are better now Wilson, and just buy an extra ticket whenever - there is always a big one round the corner :) New Year hugs to all and Mudgee is getting closer :) Vonny

Good evening Wattlers from Rockhampton . . . Well we got to see in the new Year, TLR kept up the bubbles to me . . . toasted with the Queen via sms . . . had a chat to the Duckers . . . and survived yet another day in hell! Today I washed and scrubbed . . . did all the outdoor furniture, and the deck and walls on the back of the house. ( and I did none of it right !!) . . . But we get there - I take it all with a grin and a pinch of salt (and TLR knows to keep the wine supply up to me) - I am truley making it sound better than it is too you guys . . . so dont pick on me for being unkind about the m-i-l !!! Then the broth-in-law, (who is a nice guy) took us on a tour of the city to show us the changes .. . very interesting, specially the phone conversations with the wee Scottie lass who had run out of drinking partners . . . and having a giggle at her expense with Lew . . . I am sure them that were in the car with me think I am bonkers . . . Ah well they are probably right !!! I have one more day to get thru here, and some jobs to do at the cemetery - then on Wednesday we will head back home . . . Thinking about you heaps today Duckers, I know it would have been a difficult day being Terry's birthday, and all . . . hang in there kid!! Boy I bet you have some New Year/Birthday party memories . . . imagine there have been some big ones stored in the memory bank ((hugs)) Lara I know this is a difficult time of year for you too . . . ((hugs)) and to all who are missing loved ones ((hugs)) too. We're off to bed, so catch up tomorrow if I get a chance to get online nigh nite - sleep well - sweet dreams !! luv Laurie xo

Oh well, suppose you'de be out pruning all the trees and digging the garden beds by now.lol. The lurgy, mmm do ya think its a wattler transmtted virus. aren't a few people getting it? yik. Vonny, its fantastic news about your boy. Hi Vivienne. Gotta to go and try and beautify. catch you this arvo love'n'hugs Yvette xxxxxxxxx

Wilson - sorry to hear that you've had the dreaded lurgy. Hard way to diet. We got $55 on Sat nite so I'm waiting instructions as to how to invest it! One day we'll hit the jackpot! ~~~~~~~~ to everyone else. Anna

Morning lovely Wattlers, Bringing us back to page 1 Yvette hope work went well - nothing like speaking of the future in the present but you have probably already gone another gloomy day here - was spitting while I had my morning constitional round the block. Must be the season for domestics as I passed one on my walk - her screeching like a banshee at him - good way to start the day at 8.30 We're off to look at some wardrobes - just want the insides updated to make better use of the space. Have a great day everyone (((((hugs))))) for those in need Gwenda

Morning Wattlers, Laurie, hasnt TLR told MIL that you're a printheth and you dont do cleaning......get the Queen to send her a message Ducky, get on here and tell us what you're up to or else.. ~~~to all, have to run the pool is calling, going snorkeling this arvo Flakey

Morning Wattlers, we have showers in Mudgee!!!!! Yippeeeeee. Keep all your bits crossed that it continues. Loz, that crazy Jilly McMad. Insisted she had to ring me because she'd never spoken to me, but I warned her that I think she was running up the national debt. It was wonderful to chat with her, although she reckons I don't sound like an Aussie. Had to do my Paul Hogan impersonation for her!!! lol Flakey, McMad was trying to ring you, but couldn't get through. Can you please let me have your mobile number, because I think the one I have must be wrong. Trifles, you're obviously feeling much better, but don't you think washing the floors is a little beneath you, pmsl? Where are Nefer and the brothers??? Hey, Duck, thinking about you heaps. Can't wait for you to get to Mudgee, so I can give you a great big hug (and some of a special little pills, heeeee) Vivienne, well to be best thread on the boards. Most of the people here are harmless, but that's because I prescribe them some lovely medication. Let me know if I can assist you in that department. Vonny, that's good news about your son and I'm sure the memory will come back real soon. What a terribly yucky start to the New Year in your street, Sandra. I hate the sound of arguments. It's one of the only things that really upsets me. Hey, Yvette, how'd that first day on the job go? Well, I have booked the Lebanese restaurant for the Mudgee Mudgee luncheon on Sunday 18 Feb. What I need now please is some final numbers, so those who are going to do the wine, cheese and olive oil tasting then lunch at Deeb's Kitchen, please email me, so I can organise the bus. Off to get dressed and get on with the day. ~~~to all~~~ HRH Dr Lew Lew

If so I would love a copy if not I will add to the old one. Well believe it or not but I am still in my PJ's so had better go and shower..slept in this morning.. back later Love Mary xxxxx

Good morning all Bit overcast here today, watching the sky because I have towels on the line. I am hoping that I will have to run out to get them in, that will mean it's raining. Mary, Jood did the last Wattle list and I don't have an updated one. Infact any newbie's who are not on the list can you send me your email and I will update it. Whatever any one does with the lotto winnigns is fine by me as long as it is to buy the winning numbers. LOL My little Sophie has been in the wars again and she is a bit under the weather so it looks like I will be paying for some more renovations on the vets property again. She must have been in a fight because she has a terrible wound in her groin. Ofcourse it was over the Christmas break and the vets were closed. They managed to get some ointment to me to stop any infections, but it isn't healing very quickly, and she just licks the ointment off. Did 3C ever come home? I hope everyone who is sick is now starting to feel better. I am also please to here that your son is improving Vonny. It must be nice to have him home. Fluffy, I hope you are doing okay. And how is the Queen today? feeling good I hope. Laurie, isn't it a pity that we can't choose our relative like we can our friends. Just think what christmas and new year celebrations would be like for the Wattle family. Tony, this is for you. Do you have the words to the cricket anthem, under the southern cross. Just heard a bit this morning and I think it could suit the Wattlers. I think I should go now and do some h*********k, but neville is out and while the cats away, so they say. Bye for now SuzyQ

Afternoon All, Mmmmm tangerine pills, thanks Lew, feeling much better now. This lurgy seems to be pretty wide spread, so many people around the place have had it. Really took the wind out of my sails, i was feeble for days, OH says make that sookie lol. I will buy us a ticket in the next big lotto, We have had a few sprinkles of rain, just enough to wash the dust off the trees and give the garden a small drink. (most of it is dead though) . My poor standard roses look very sick, only one looks like it might live. I religiously take out the shower water to them, but they don't seem to care for it much, fussy blighters. I have resigned myself to them turning up their toes. Have a good day everyone, Take Care Wilson

Hello Vivienne, so glad you could come and play with us :) Just don't take any purple pills. :o So nice to get a few more WA people. But what about SA? Don't they do Family History???? Back to 'work' for me today but I only have a few days and then no more for 6 months :) Lovely and cloudy but the wet stuff is very patchy. Just hope that it is falling on the catchment areas. Have to catch up with the h-cough-k especially the apricots - had to strip the tree this morning (what the Cocky's were kind enough to leave us!) and I was making jam last week, in between hospital visits. Made a lovely fig and cinnamon one. Have run out of jars at the moment. Nice to have the world back to normal - whatever normal is! (((((((hugs))))))) to all just because :) Vonny

Av a good un. Tony Oz.....:>)))) * off to spray me puter screen with disinfection*

G'day Wattlers.....how's my favourite bunch of cyber friends going? I've been thinking of you all over the last few days....healing hugz to those who need them and big happy hugz to all the rest. By the looks of the posts you all found a variety of ways to see in the New Year. The Royal consort and I knocked the top off a bottle of bubbly, devoured a cheese plate and welcomed the year in a nice, quiet fashion. My resolution (only one) to stop and smell the roses so I can appreciate life. The rest will fall into place. This sentiment I wish for all you wonderful people, too. What a way to start the year....I got a phone call from the McMad shiela from Fife! She sounds as if she had a good time seeing in the new Year. She also expressed her love and heartfelt thanks to all the Wattlers for the way we have stood by her through her illness and treatment. I told her that's what Wattlers do for their friends. I can attest to that fact! I'm on my 'good' week now....so much so that I was well enough to clean the kitchen floor yesterday! It was very surprising.....it felt good to do a bit of h.....k for a change lol. We did have a minor kerfuffle yesterday. The young prince nearly electro-fried himself! He plugged in the sandwhich toaster, grabed the handle to open it and.....kerblooie! Sparks went flying and one of the power circuits blew. Thank the gods for power safety cut-off switches. He just stood there looking dazed and said...'my arm tingles'. He was ok but I think it gave him a bit of a shock....(get it? Shock? ..anyway!) I've told him he has to take it in to work and give it to the sales rep. and tell him I'm not happy with it. We've only had it 21years and it breaks down! You just can't get good appliances these days! The Royal consort has finished the lawns (he got a new mower for Chrissy) and is in need of a drink so I'd better get him one. I have to be nice to him.....he and the young prince are going to assemble my new display cabinet this arvo. Might make myself some coffee while I'm at it. Big hugz to everyone. love Trifley X

Trifley...:>))) Do you want a toster?......... we gots heaps of e'm....hee hee Well, Barcode Barb has. We thinking about opening our own toaster shop shortly...lol Tony Oz...:>))
