Hi all, yaawwwn, I can't get the knack of this get up early thing. Need to write a note for myself, go to be early. I started at 6 and felt like a million dollars then. Now - I just want lunch! Great reading by the way... theres so much to catch up on from a little amount of time. Going to turn on the kettle and poke about in the fridge. coming back after a'little sit down' love Yvette x PS Wilson, your not the only ones, I do know first hand of someone else. OH used to laugh about me being the drought breaker

Sent an email to you Wilson - glad you got back to us. Hi Shaz - It's storberry wine not raspberry! - but it sounds similar hmmmm... sounds very itallllyan dunnit? .. So far the Killarawarra Dusk seems to be the nearest to the Amberton Lizard infused Strawberry Sparkling Brut. .. Dont seem to be able to get it anywhere except in cases of 6 with $11.95 postage from mail order places. .. But will give yours a go and give my umble opinion. I don't know how or why Laurie called you cuz - but I'm not gonna go back and look for the msg ! .. I just wondered if you were really related, or it was a figure of speech!!! Wilson, trust you to break the drought away from your own place and to get wet in the back of a truck .. tsk tsk lol Yeah yeah Shaz - me doing pushups? more likely pushing and pulling everything just to GET up !!!! .. (very inelegantly I must say) Fanny, are you getting old? .. tee hee Ooops - Im supposed to be working aren't I? Jood

yep!!! what comes with old? arthritis? grumpy? better stop now I think while I've still got some friends love yvette x

Nope - its growing old gracefully tee hee Seriously - you are still just a kid! Jood

Didn't mean to ignore you cat. .. Laughed my head off about you patiently waiting for us to check the numbers (which I didn't) - you have a wonderful sense of humour and you take all our teasing in good part. .. I think Lara is still in Xmas mode - she hasn't changed her name back yet! .. Hope Tiger has a successful op today. Jood

Hi All, Lara hope everything goes okay with Tiger's op today. Talked to Ducky yesterday told her about all the lovely songs and poems you all had posted, she said she will take a look. She's coming to the GC tomorrow so we will be able to give her lots of hugs. Hugs to you too Trifley see you tomorrow and you too Laurie. Are you coming SuzyQ? hope you can make it. I can give you a lift if need be. Thanks for your itinery Lew, that boat sounds fantastic I think a cruise on that would be holiday enough for me. I wouldn't want to get off. I don't like being cold, says she who's going to Europe in Feb. I must be mad lol luv Jillx

hi jill and jood, I get tired coz i'm not used to waking with an alarm. That means if I set it for 4.30 I wake up at 2.30, 3.30 and then before it goes off. I'm too scared i'll sleep in so, i set it for a bit until i'm sure I'll wake up. think i should be right now. Had a lttle snooze on the the lounge, starting to feel like one of the 7 dwarfs (golly I love a bloke with short legs. lol) I am put to shame by you lot, honestly, I am astounded by your energy. This mini meet at the GC sounds fine!! however, I have some people that need to see me tomorrow. They haven't done any weights for 3 weeks no, so they will be having DTs by now. Have a mega good time. ooh, thoughts for Tiger today, does he know the power of the wattle goes with him? got a wedding next week, sadly not mine, but might need to steal a dress design from the flashy boutique down the street. love ya Yvette x

Hellooo all Did I read on this thread the other day that there were nekkid peeps here? Well - I qualify. I've just had my hair cut and it's quite short - so I'm feeling nekkid! I guess I'll get used to it! Wishing all those going to the mini meet tomorrow at the coast a wondeful time. Wish I could be there but Katherine is performing at a lunch time concert at the Uni so can't miss that. Lara - hope Tiger is not too sore and sorry for himself. It will be you that gets driven mad with all the 'Get me this' Get me that' 'Scratch my back' 'Peel me a grape.....' Don't tell Tony but men are terrible invalids! Trifley - thinking of you my precious - better eat, drink and be merry tomorrow before the sleepy bug hits you. Fluffs - have a great time tomorrow. Hugz. Be sure to waggle your tail feathers big time. By the way - we have to keep Vonny's word thread going whilst she's chasing ankle biters around the camp - so will you all help out please. She will be cross if she comes back and finds we've let the threads fade into oblivion. Have a lovely evening everyone. XX Anna

Hi Honeys (wattlers) I is home. Have read the last 20 pages and can't remember all that you lot have been up to but it has been very entertaining. Thank you all for xmas/new year cards and wishes -muchly appreciated. Glad you are back (for a little while) Jood from your gallivanting looking forward to catching up in Bendigo. Hope you have a wonderful time HRH Lew - hope the heating works on the ship though! lol Glad its you - I don't like ships and you wouldn't get me going not even to see the sea and ice down sarf. Princeth Laurie you will coming back for a holiday - sure the MIL isn't a nasty pastie Stepmother in disguise and she thinks you are cinders! Fluffy duck come back and chat you have been greatly missed. See the cat has lost out a couple of times on numbers - aahhhh they been picking on you Jules pmsl. See Mary has been merry - love it. (I knew I should have taken notes - mind has just done a blank) Well seems ages ago now but had a very cold, noisy Christmas day with the mad lot I'm related to. I swear I'm getting a 'grumpy old woman' my family only seem to know one volume very loud - but I love them all. Ken and I spent a very quiet new years - couldn't see the fireworks in Melbourne from the balcony - too smokey visibility was down to a couple of kms.We had to go home to look after Cleo as Jon was out for the night. We spent 2 lovely weeks pottering around the money pit, put in secondhand windows in the laundry and bathroom, finished relaying the floorboards (finally), and the lounge is now painted I'm getting quite good at manipulating a 1.5m pole to paint the 3.5m ceilings - my chiro loves me and will continue to do so until we have finished the 3 bedrooms and the hall! lol. Have some pics if anyone is interested to see the progress. The garden is looking beautiful its mulched heavily and only needs a little bit of water once a week - most of the plants are very drought tolerant (but have got some perennials that have done really well - for the first time ever I planted some hollyhocks they are now 2.5m tall!) and have thrived have given them quite a bit of seasol to kick them on. We went to Shepparton for a day - well sort of got there at 12.30 had lunch a quick squiz around the shops and 2.30pm headed back to Alexandra - I said to Ken I've had enough of shops and people - he almost made me run back to the car. Too long out of the big smoke hehehehe, I was hoping to catch up with the Lovely Lara but she had a friend staying and was trying to organise Michaels stay in Hospital. Best wishes to Michael you will be back playing golf in no time flat. Well must away - its taken me all afternoon to get this written ~~~~~~~ hi to everyone - talk to you tomorrow xxx jude diy

Hi JudeDIY and welcome back. Would love to see your piccles please. Lara - hope Mike's op went well. You'll have to do what I did during my second pregnancy when I had to rest lots - I'd get up to go to loo and get drink, food or whatever on way back and told Dayna while I'm up if you want anything you ask now cos when I sit back down that's it - none of this running around after the patient - the patient fits in with the carer - lol Well ladies have a great lunch tomorrow. Ducky we expect a full report from you - no excuses - missing you heaps and the bugs keep biting of a night without your message. Worked till lunchtime today and knew when I got home that I wouldn't do anymore tidying up - now I'll have to be extra good tomorrow - at least wardrobe guy not coming till 5.30 - I'll probably be so kn*****ed by then I'll be flat out on the bed - lol Daughter gets home from Kuala Lumpur tomorrow arvo too - they'll probably all arrive at the same time. Lew - have a great hol - sounds fab - not sure about the wet landing, tho that explains the gum boots. Hz - enjoy your little break - even tho you'll still be working some of it. Son has hooked me up so we can both be on the net at the same time - actually we have 3 going at mo - sure saves fighting over it. Getting to the time to think about food so I'll catchya later Gwenda

Morning everyone :-) Lara glad Tiger's ok, (((((hugs))))) to you both Jude Diy Aye they're picking on me, stealing all my numbers ;-))) pmsl Jood glad you had a good laugh at my check number thingy, it does make me laugh when I come on and read the posts to see people asking if I'm around when the big number's coming up, then post lots of posts to get it and they call me obssessed pmsl ;-) Hope everyone's ok ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Catxx

Evening All. Another warm one here today, but it's now cooling off a bit. Lara, hugs for Mike and I know what you are going to go through, lol. Terry had a knee replacement 5 years ago. Tell Mike that Terry has skiied in Europe every year since (much to his surgeon's disgust). He just has to remember to do his physio. Watching the 20/20 cricket at the moment. It's a real slog fest. Yummy, Yvette, that sago sounded great. Wonder if they'll give us some of that at the South Pole. All you lot going to the mini meet tomorrow, have a great time. Wattie hasn't turned up yet, so I hope he isn't lost in transit :-( Back later HRH Dr Lew Lew
