OK....Mark and the young lady have made an appearance and left again about an hour later. She is tall....probably about 5ft 10ins. Solid build but not fat. Blonde hair but I couldn't get close enough to tell the colour of the roots. Mark says she is 21...I would have said older, 25 or more. NOT a feminine/giggly/girly girl. She seems comfortable and relaxed with Mark and not shy or retiring with us. She seems ok. Joodles....IKEA...yes....yes...yes! Definetly one of the better places to spend a few hours. Laurie.....does Ray work for MITRE10 or is he just window shopping? Coffee time. See ya soon. Trifley X X

Laurie let's get this clear right now girl WE means us Wattlers not you and Ray Pmsl was thinking we had gone one better and we were going one better a week or so at a time oh B****er Lara

FINALLY, I worked that out Trifley - when she said 'we' .. I thought she meant the Wattlers :-( Made a right fool of myself, I did Jood

Hi Lara I don't think the Wattlers won anything on last night's Lotto. I think Laurie was talking about a ticket she had with the lovely Ray. Luv Trifley x

Still beautiful here although would love some rain just went out to knick some plants a lady said I could have from their garden as selling house next door and could not get shovel in the ground darn so got the hose on them to wet it a bit we are not on really strict water restrictions here so just dripping anyway but they will be better of out there not being looked after at all and I shall put them in pot( freesias ) and take them to my plant sitter over the rd. when we leave or maybe even take them with me if I can hide when Tiger knicks off to golf ,hehehe. Laurie that means we got four numbers, so that's better than last time with three and sup, bugger getting 3 instead of number 2 ,see always want more Trifley you did real good girl , Laurie did you read I answered you about van ? the Swannies just won in Canberra. Hey Laurie how in the heck did you find those peeps with same kids names without the surname super sleuth ??? Pam pppppppp girl hehe sorry but we owed you that after what you have done to us, and we are number 3 you know so we must be winning a few pmsl , ........ OK diplomatically changing subject how are your Hardsmen /Herdsmen going ? have you found out anything new yet did you get any help from tips other than from the Wattlers. Laurie when Ray gets back did you say you are going home please , how long do you figure being up there please? and did you mean up there with the mini orb or the apartment Cassie has that as eaves at her house and we are going to line our porch with it when we get back from Queensland, Honey Rum have you talked your daughter in to coming over here yet she would only have to be here for about 6 weeks ibn spring or autumn and she'd be hooked , you certainly going have big trip thistime we want photos did you know we are not allowed to use sunames for photos now so have to put them on GC photo page for us please Will go and say bye for now neighbour just made click on wrong place han on have any of you that have broadband gone to Google Earth Image my brother in law just sent me a photo of Yarrawonga taken from the satellite right over our house the photos are about and up to 3 years old but apparently you can go anywhere you want to any country any town anywhere so thought it would be good to see the towns you are looking at peeps from all you have to do is go on to your home page or whereever you can search google from and put in what I have above and takes you to where you can access it ok off I go still singing Good old Collingwood forever Love Lara

Good afternoon Wattlers, what started out at Botany Bay to be a lovely warm sunny day, though a little breezy, has suddnely turned overcast. Looking quite grey and chilly out there We have had three container ships arrive, so there is only one giraffe with its head up high. I have just returned from putting the lovely Ray on a plane to Adelaide - he is off to the Mitre 10 hardware show! Thanks for the pm Joodles - I see the error of my ways . . . the line I think may pay is 3 11 21 33 41 42 . . . Ray forgot to take the ticket with him this morning, so dont know what it is going to give us! Not the trip to UK for more records searching I was wishing for! Too cold to sit here any longer, got to get moving to warm up so catch you later cheer luv Laurie . . PS Hi Honey Anne, glad someone is getting some sunshine !!!!

Good morning all you lovely Wattlers!! Am up with the lark this morning, it gets light here now around 4.30 and the birds drive you mad!!! Hope everyone is well over there in Oz and the weather is good for you... it has started to brighten up here for a change... we have had a very wet couple of months and deserve a bit of sun! It was lovely talking to Judy from the Blue Moutains and Lauri the other day... I keep missing you all on msn, but think of you all often. Tony, try and get to one of our meets while you are over this time chuck... some of us would love to meet you and your OH. You just can't keep away from the homeland can you!!..lol Take care all, Love, Anne :)))

Hi all Beautiful warm day in Brissie today - just perfect. Tony and Lara - make the most of your team's win - it don't happen too often. Have a great day Pam

Hi everyone………..Rebs hope that you get better soon and everyone else who is feeling poorly, hugs sent your way but know you would prefer something more tangible so will leave you with the hot water bottle and hope it doesn’t leak……….mmmmmmmmm now there’s a thought lol CarolB

Aaawww Rebs....big hugs and healing thoughts. I'm sooooo glad I don't have trouble with that any more. I had mine removed. Couldn't see the need for an accessory I didn't use pmsl. Just think....you'll be rip roaring and ready to party on Saturday night. Par...T, Par...T, Par...T, Trifley saunters off singing....'Girls just wanna have fun' T x

Yeah Trifley, I thought I could tell by that twinkle .. I am the same too, quiet, well mannered, giggle a lot .. but a bit over the top with the Wattle mob. .. Laurie's not around, so I am safe! .. Oh crumbs, some of the Wattlers have already met me .. Lew lew, Shaz, Sandra, Lara, Vonny, Laurie (naturally), Mary, Leigh. .. Oh well! Ooops - forgot about the two Victoria Judes and Wilson. Hope you feel better by next weekend Rebs Jood

Hi Wattlers this will be quick before I get booted again. I can read your waffle but when I try to reply I get kicked off....bugger. So know I'm watching...lol only20degs with cold wind blowing Tony there is a bus that will take you to your hotel from Heathrow if you dont want to get the train Jude2

'Fraid I'll be here for most of the day. Sitting with a hot water bottle strapped to my belly. Least it's this week and not next. lol !!! Trifley....whatever this girl is like, as least she's a Victorian lass. Your boy has good taste. hehe!!! Off to trawl ancestry again. Just found my gg grandfathers sister Sarah Steains who went awol from Aus on the '81 & '91 census. they must have bothe died before the 1901. Turns out she and her hubby, James Dunn Taylor when back to Middlesex where she was born, but later settled in Glous. Someone had previously found death entries for both their names, but weren't sure if it was them or not. I've found them with their children plus a few extra born over there. He was born Ireland and was a draper and silk mercer/merchant. Silk......hmmmmm, I like this guys style. lol See, I occasionally do the odd bit of tree research. lol !!! love Rebs x

Hi Joodles....'Dianne' (when being a mum) is polite, well manered, friendly and a little on the dull side. She wouldn't dare dance on a table top or do too much to embarass her Angel. It's only when the young lady has been here several times that 'Dianne' goes away and Trifley comes out pmsl When I'm with my sister at a VIEW Do I'm really Trifley. Trifley x

Trifley what is the Dianne person like? I saw a picture of her with her sister, and she was up to no good .. I could tell by the twinkle in her eye .. Still nice and sunny here too, outside, cool inside. Jood

Morning Rebs, Joodles and any other Wattler not out in the sunshine. What is it with some peeps? Why do they have to be nasty and want to cause trouble? Stupid children of unwed parents! Anywho..... It's sunny here on the coast but a little on the cool side. I am thinking layers of clothes will be the go for me in Brisvegas. I'll just peel as the day gets warmer, then put it all back on towards evening. Mark has a young lady, from Melbourne, visiting him this weekend and he is bringing her home to meet us this arvo before Graeme goes to work. I'd better put my 'Dianne' personality on.....she'd nefer understand a Pharaoh Queen with a Nubian man-servant...pmsl. I'll be back later and let you all know what she is like. ~~~~~~waves to all the Wonderful Wattlers. Trifley X X

Ok Rebs, will delete msg pronto - many thanks Jood

You don't want to go there Jood. That site was actually set up by one of the suspended lot. They have been having fun over there at the expense of GR members. Posting hurtful pictures, making nasty comments, making plans to cause mayhem here when they are allowed to return. Unfortunately, the site being posted on gen and becoming public knowledge may have caused grief for someone else. Some people just don't think !!! Grrrrr

Morning all, lovely day here. Mary, hope the house gets sold quickly for you. Lyn, we've had three kids back to live with us PLUS their spouses!! The latest was my eldest son and his wife who both did a Uni course for 31/2 years. They just finished Uni last week. At the moment they are house-sitting but we are minding their furniture! We actually rearranged our house and gave them 2 rooms and a sep bathroom and toilet that could be closed off. Certainly was a learning experience sharing a house after all this time! having a nice slow and quiet day today. ~~~~~~~~~Vonny
