Morning everyone :-) 19840 posts so far ;-)))) Just having some breakfast then will have to go shopping or do something that resembles some type of work pmsl Can I have some positive healing thoughts for Jess pls. She tripped over Saturday afternoon and put out her hand to stop herself from falling and has managed to hurt her arm. Took her to the walk in centre yesterday morning cos it hadn't improved overnight and they think she's bruised all the muscles that run along her arm between her wrist and elbow. Not serious thank god but it is painful. Laurie I loved the faraway tree series. In fact I loved all Enid Blyton books when I was young(er) lol. Suzy hope you get past this accident prone phase soon Lara sending lots of positive weight losing thoughts just for you :-) Merle glad it was good news Jude2 and all other sickies get well soon. Sending positive, healing thoughts and (((((hugs))))) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Catxx *post number 19, 841* ;-)

Night Yvette, sweet dreams :-)

Evening All, Yep... we did change tables a couple of times and Jood decided her seat wasn't quite right once lol. Was lovely though, we certainly yakked up a storm. Still didn't run out of things to say, and even managed to talk family history too hehe. Jood, you can keep the photo to yourself you know lol, Shrink mine to a very small postage stamp too please lol. I thought i took a great picture of you....think your photo taking skills are not up to scratch though, i am sure i look better than THAT! Hope everyone is well or on the mend. Take Care Wilson

So nice of you to count our replies for us, Catty dear. Such a thoughtful Cat. :) *keeping a straight face here with much effort* Yvette, I'll google the maps when my new download starts on the 25th. So far I'm having fun with google earth though. Did I tell you I bought something else on eBay today? Think I've unleashed a monster within :) A car charger for my phone. I tramped the shops this morning to no avail - they stopped stocking them 6 mths ago. Came home and found them on eBay! Tassie - son is there for 3 weeks. He is coming down the east coast at the moment. ~~~~~~~~~~~ to all. Vonny

Ooooh Vonny,you have the ebay bug, like I once had, bought stacks, then I started selling - keeps you pretty busy. .. Haven't done it for a while though. Wilson, your pic came out really really nice - mine was just me (but then I dont like just me) - and that stupid yellow scarf round my neck did nothing I tell you ! ... lol The scarf, fellow wattlers, was one of the many of my ex mother in laws that arrived here with ex the other day - it was just a plain yellow chiffon square, but looked suspiciously like little yellow dots here and there like wattle, so I was gonna wear it for the occasion, only I didn't look in the mirror (shock horror) before hand. .. I will bring it to Mudgee. Have to get the pics from one pc to another before I can email them to everyone. .. Hooray for memory sticks. Mary, have conned dau. to taking me to Maldon, Dunolly and back to Bendigo tomorrow. .. Almost had to stamp my foot, but she's agreed to now. .. Her cleaner comes on Wednesday, so we have to tidy up and clean everything away - I know, I know - women are like that !!!!! Turned out to be hot this afternoon, had a swim with the girls who delighted in bombing me. .. The evening is quite cool, so shouldn't have a problem sleeping. See y'all tomorrow Love Jood

Hey Jude I used to have a cleaner once when I was working. I gave her up because It used to exhaust me gettting the house cleaned up before the cleaner came! As you say - women make it hard on themselves! :>))

Evening all~~~~~ So this is where you have been hiding all evening!!! No wonder it is quiet over the way! LOL

Hi Jood, I see where you are going to Australia,s First Notable Town, (historically that is) Maldon, I lived there for 20yrs, sons were born there, husband was born in Castlemaine. We will be there ourselves in a couple of weeks catching up with old friends & family in Bendigo. Enjoy your trip. Hello to all Wattlers. Pat.

Hi Lyn You snuck in while I wasent looking.. You should come and visit more often,,We love to see you.. Nite Nite all Love Mary xxxx

Ah Jood Wish I was coming with you tomorrow..Would love a holiday back in Dunolly.. Our week there last Nov was so short and only had time to find 1 nuggett. My big one is out there somewhere waiting for me..enjoy your day.. Its not that far to Dunolly about 45 minutes in the car.. You can then go down to Maryborough and then to Malden and then back to Bendy..I would take you through the forrests which are so beautiful but you would get lost on your own.. Hi Cat.. Have a nice day.. Patricia Where are you now .. I am sorry I have either forgotten or never known.. I do suffer from CRAFT you see..lol Well I am off to bed so see ya in the morning.. Love Mary xxx Fanny Have a good day at work tomorrow..xxx

Evening Wattlers, Just dropping in before I head to bed. The Queen has informed me she is totally relaxed, and havine a wonderful time. Lovely to see your able to get back online SuzyQ . . . hope the roo is gone real soon . . . yukky Sounds Like Joodles & Wilson kept the Wattler tradition going . . . good on you girls. Thoughts with those not feeling up to par . . . poor DIY . . . get well quickly. Have had fun on Ancestry tonight solveing some of my mysteries - time has just flown by. Off to bed - catch you tomorrow night as I will be working at the Archives tomorrow after I put TLR on the plane. Nigh nite - sleep well - sweet dreams luv Laurie

Morning all, sun is out, birds are chirping, hammers are banging (carpenters doing some building) - I expect everyone will be up in this household soon!!! I typed out a reply to Lyn A (NZ) and Patricia (Qld) last night, and then lost it. .. Dial up is sooo slow, I gave up and went to bed... Well its official, we are off to Maldon & Dunolly today coz I stamped my foot and said I wanted to go .. lol .. Should be a nice day. .. I'm going to call into Dunolly's bakehouse - Cheri wants to check out a cemetery at Eddington - and no doubt some antique shops in Maldon. .. I'm looking forward to seeing some of these town, and you never know, we might just find a gold nugget in the middle of the road - NO?? - oh well, Wilson & I are going to have another non-stop conversation at morning or afternoon tea one day next week!!! Had a nice swim, or rather, dunk in the pool yesterday, - dear little girls kept bombing me - but it was fun! .. The nights get very cool here (or is it just me) - even tho the days are warming up again. .. I took a jumper and jerkin to Perth and didn't use them, should have bought them here instead. Have a great day all. Love Jood

Morning all.. another warm day I surmise..Havent looked outside yet..lol Jood Have a lovely day, Eddington cemetary is the one I went to for Lara.. it is on the road to Dunolly but you have to turn down a side road to find the entrance, It is on your left as you drive along and a little off the road. Try a savoury sausage roll at the bakery and a chocy eclair. OOOOhhhh the calories,,,,but the cream is yummy.. Must away to get OH some brekky ,,back later Love Mary xxx

Good morning Wattlers, Couldn't get net to work on lappy yesterday which explains my absence and have had to hook up the old lappy - don't ask me to explain why it works on one and not the other as I have no idea and son is no help Anyway thought I would spend a couple of hours doing FH - first time in yonks and guess what - I spent the whole day instead - lol Today I'm going to get stuck into some more ironing - have on video Scarlett - anyone remember that - was on telly a million years ago - the follow up to Gone With The Wind - have never had a chance to watch it so today is the day and I will iron at the same time - when it finishes so does the ironing for the day - think it runs about 4 hours but will zap the ads so a bit less. Won't be as good as GWTW cos Clark Gable isn't playing Rhett. Jood & Wilson - glad you had a good lunch and enjoy your morning tea next week. Lara - I now realise why detox wasn't so hard for me - I didn't have to give up coffee - never took it up to start with. Hope you're feeling better and I'm looking forward to seeing the new look Lara at Mudgee Mary - glad you have discovered the wonder of water - the most refreshing drink you can have Have a great day everyone (((((hugs))))) and ~~~~~~~~~~ to all Gwenda
