JudeDIY The cottage is comming along fantastically..Love the garden out front,,suites it to a T...Did you have Christmas there or just all go up there for a break, and some work,,, SuzyQ How are my chooks, are they laying again or still on holiday...

Afternoon All, Just a quick look in, what has been happening here? I have the weekend off and am looking forward to catching up on a few things around the house. Yep actually looking forward to H******k, the back yard has been dug up to put pipes in for a rain water tank that is being delivered next week, looks like a building site. Especially as everything is so dry. It is getting a bit depressing to look at the garden. Have a great day all take care Wilson

Afternoon all Wilson - weve got a full tank of water and I feel so wicked and abandoned hosing everything in sight! We washed down the front pergola - had some mildew on it - washed the paved areas, hosed the garden and we have been flat out this week taking out old plants that have passed their use by date and planting new ones - and hosing it all! It's been a wonderful start to the new year. Hope you get some rain to fill your tank and then you can go crazy like we have! I guess Lew is on her way - the boots definitely have to go and be replaced with something more attractive! Can I join the Vinnies Club? My dinner set is from Vinnies - beautiful brown pottery which you can't get anymore. I had some when I was first married and was able to replace the broken pieces from Vinnies - I was so excited. And my last pair of jeans is from Life Line - used to be able to buy nice Regatta jeans from Myers but they don't have them anymore. But I found a perfectly good pair in my size at Life Line! Another exciting find! Katherine and I just love browsing through - she got a great pair of Doc Martins from there last year. Hugs to all those who need hugs - Trifley, Ducky, Tiger, Merle and OH, and Mary's John. And TLR with his poor sore foot! I'm being very forward going around hugging other people's husbands aren't I? But we all need lots of hugs even if they are only cyber ones. catch you all later XX Anna

Hi All, Lew if you haven't already left have a great and safe time, Thanks for that web addy Joods, the way the woman on the radio was talking about it I thought it was a free site but it must be the same as the one Mary told us about which isn't free Love and healing hugs to our not so well male Wattlers Thanks for the pickles of the cottage Jude, I loved the hollihocks, my Granddad had them in his garden funny thing though they used to frighten me as a child because they were so tall, sunflowers had the same effect. I 'm looking foward to seeing pickles of the cottage when it's finished you have both worked so hard on it. Anna your daughter is so talented, enjoy the concert. Fluffy one if you're looking in take care, be strong. I took a couple of photos before the batteries went, I think the camera needs new ones these are not holding the charge like they did, so I'll try and put them up if they came out properly Laurie safe journey home although I know you think of up here as home you know what I mean

twit! I pressed add message instead of enter. Can't think what else I was going to say now, butter, never mind I'll look in later and and it might come back. luv Jillx

Mary hope the op sorts out all John's problems .. It would be lovely if he made a miraculous recovery and you could come to the Mudgee Melee, wouldn't it? Boiling hot outside (aircon going flat out inside) - no sign of forecast storm - not yet, anyway. Tony - you working too hard in the sun eh? I'm guilty of buying from St Vinnies, in fact its the first shop from my place - about 2 mins. walk. .. I go to any shop I can find when I'm away from home ! .. I guess it's like going to a garage sale! ps. I actually typed this out ages ago. .. There has been a change in the weather, .. Its windy, cloudy and greying over. Jood

Hi everyone Been flat out today ,thought I'd better pop in to say have a great weekend whatever you are up to. Never been in a vinnies store - might have to have a browse -lol xxx jude

Whew!!!! .. I still get emotional when I see Bindi Irwin on TV - she is just so lovely and natural. .. She is the same age as one of my grandaughters, who has twinkly eyes also. Jood

Evening All, Started the day off by going for a power walk at 6.30am, it was lovely, but yes fanny lots of sea mist around. well we have had a very stressful day changing over providers, they are sure not helpful, the old and the new, it is very hard for none techie types like us, have finally got the change over but guess what, can recieve emails but can't send them out only to ourselves, now work that one out. As I can't send out emails at the mo if anyone wants to update their list just GR mail me and I will give you the new addy. Well going back to the drawing board for a while anyway.

Morning all Not much to report, have had a quiet day yesterday, ended up buying a card table from chickenfeed. Couldnt find a table that suited in second hand places we went to. Rang my girls last night, Tamika was in a good mood as she had lost her wallet (or thought she had) a couple of days ago, she went to the suitcase to check on flight times for tomorrow night and guess what??? wallet was there, but doesnt remember putting it there, looked everywhere else :-) they are looking forward to getting home, Im the same as I do iss them when they are away, for what seems so long, they used to go to their Dads on a week about basis in the holidays,when he lived over here, which didnt seem as bad. JA we already have 2 putas set up and another in the garage, yes Anna another item in the garage hee hee, its just we dont have the room to set any more up inside, but then again a lappy wont take up much room will it hee hee Will have to check Lews itinerary to see what time her plane may be flying overhead and I can give her a wave as she goes by, all depends on what route they go, some fly over home and others go out to the East a bit. ~~~~ to All ~~~~ Cheers Sue
