OMG....she's done it agin.......:>))) Just sittin here on puter eatin me lunch...and Madam ( Barb ) passes me in the kitchen going...YES...YES...YES....with big smile on the dial. Thought she musta had some muscle'y young bloke locked up in her salon....lol After she calmed down, i said what's the YES.YES.YES for. She just picked up a $1,000 bucks on a SMS comp for Smarties, Kit Kat, Areo, or Minties wrapper. Nestle & Allens is giving a $1,000 a day comp, if you SMS the barcode on ya mobile phone or sumptin, but you gotta have the bar code to prove it. Barb says.....Entry form is at Coles, and valid to the 6th Sept. I wondered why she was eatin sooooo much Chocolate on the plane flight.....now i know.....lol Then she gave me the Phone bill, as my present....:>((((( Talk about a tinnie bum. Well better go back to work......someone's gotta put in the hard yards.....:>((((( Think its Gewnda to buy our normal Lotto for this weekend. I also agree with everyone else about the extra Lotto. Av a good un. Tony Oz...:>))))

Okay, so it's agreed. Those who buy 10 lines of Lotto in honour of Wattle Day, any if anyone of those wins, then it will only be those who bought the 10 lines who will share in that prize. Sounds fair to me. And for goodness sake Tony, let Barb buys yours, lol. Lunch went very well and our Ruby has grown heaps in the month she has been in the UK, but she still recognised her Aunty Lew which was nice. Lots of smiles and giggles and other 'interesting' conversation noises. Four month olds are oh so cute. MMmmmm, suspect plants going in retirement village! MARY, what have you been up to?????? You've only just moved there, lol. Lew lew xxx

Hi, This extra lotto ticket for Wattle Day, do I have to buy it on Friday or can I get it on thursday when I have to go out? SuzyQ

Good grief Tony - your Barb is so tinnie - bet she doesn't just take the wrapper off and leave the choccie for later - guess it would be too easy to know what choccie was what. Don't spose she's donating the winnings to the phone bill????? or for that matter the plastic - when it comes :))) Thanks for everyone's hugs and thoughts on the passing of my Aunt - can tell you it was quite a shock to read that she was hospitalised and then a bigger shock when I rang Mum and that's the first thing she tells me. Mum is the only one left now out of 1 boy and 3 girls and at 91 I think it has hit a lot harder as her sister had been in pretty good health for an 87 y.o. Just taking a break from the kitchen - have made lasagne and cannelloni for my boys - daughter not impressed until I said we were having roast for dinner. Still have some meat mixture left over so on her way home she will get me some more shells and then I'll finish putting that altogether. Yes, it's my turn to buy Lotto this week. I will wait until Friday tho so that we are all buying (or most of us) on our special Wattle day. Won't be home until after 6 tho so don't panic that you haven't received your numbers from me. Tassie - hope you're being careful standing on that chair. You've done well with your packing by the sounds of it. Lara - nice to hear from you again - hope you're getting a chance to relax as well as being such a social butterfly and tourist. Back to the kitchen, do some dishes, bring in the washing - which I should be able to put straight away as it has been absolutely beautiful here today - 17 and heading to 20 on Friday -spring is on the way. Catchya later Gwenda 12 sleeps to NY

Afternoon Wattlers, Congrats to Barb Tony on her recent win,big phone bill??? lol you should get her to buy your lotto tickets lol. Gwenda sorry for the loss in your family. Yvette hope the exam went well All those not to well at the moment... get well soon. Donna good luck for your son's match on the weekend. Hows this nearly had road rage today.... was coming out of carpark of supermarket, was turning right, a car was coming up and I always wait in case they are going straight on instead on into carpark, when i started to get honking behind me not once but continual, looked in the mirror and here was a cab driver ( of unknown origin,looked like an arab to me) bite my tongue) how impatient was he , I was so mad I stuck my finger up at him and them slowed right down along the road with him behind me,getting a bit daring in my old age, but oh a bit of patience would go a long way. Thats my Waffle for the day Anna have you heard of Home icecream it comes from your part of the country and is delivered around the streets direct to the customer, they have just started in our area.? ok bye for now cheers Sandra in the Gong.

Tony, tell Barb congratulations. More A...than class lol Sandra, the home icecream is really yummy.. The mango icecream is mmmmmmmmmm. And most of their stuff is pretty reasonable. Pam

Pam Dont mention Mangos.. They are my most favourite fruit and I eat anything with mango in it..Mango icecream sounds lovely..yum.. Sandra.. Were you talking about our lovely demure polite shy Sandra or was there another one in the car with you...LOL Which finger did you use,,pmsl... Gwenda Tell us about this trip to the States.. Is it a holiday or are you going for a reason... Really sorry to hear about your Aunt.. I am sure your Mother will be feeling it badly.. Big hugs for her and you and your family... Suzy Buy it on thursday by all means.. Hope you are resting as much as you can and do look after yourself.. Tony How many chockies did you have to eat to enter that comp.. did Barb share them with you or did she dish them out to the customers...LOL I hope you have enough after the phone bill to buy a Piza or two.. Lara You seem to be enjoying yourself and good for you.. Do look after yourself and dont get overtired..I cant believe how good it is living here.. I dont have to lug garbage, washing, shopping, etc. up and down the stairs and that is the best part...as it was wearing me out...dont miss the old house one bit... Donna Fingers crossed for Zack and the team,, I hope he enjoys the game and congratulations for getting so far in the comp..well done.. Tassie You have done wanders with the packing..good for you.. dont overdo it though,, just be careful.. Laurie Take it easy and drive safely... Well it looks like I will have to pull up all the weeds in the garden.. I been sprung...I am inocent..I am inocent.. please Officer...I didnt know it was mara-ju-ana,,, I just thought it was a pretty weed...PMSL... Well back to the drawing board and do some washing.. Back later Love Mary xxx

Sandra, you bold hussy - I was shocked to the core that you gave the finger to the taxi driver - don't worry, I would have done the same. .. I had a huge 4WD behind me this morning on the way down the mountain - closer than a car's width. .. Twice I braked for no apparent reason (other than to make him aware), and he backed off a bit. .. So impatient. Gwenda hugs to you and your Mum Mary - wots this about pics of you cavorting in the pool, and why didn't I get a copy, hmmmmmmmmmmmm??? I agree totally Lew Lew, 4 months old babies are really cute. Have a great evening all ~~~~~~~~~~~~ to everyone. Jood (oh tinny Barb, would she like to pay my HUGE electricity bill???)

Arvo. Well, its that time of the day again. V.B time...:>)) Absolutely beautiful day in Malbin. Our Camilia tress are out in full bloom....Red ..Pink...White. The front of our property has 4 large Camilia trees, with the largest standing at 3 metres high by 3 metres width. Every year ( winter )a local nursery bloke knocks on our door to see if we would like him to prune them. Most likely what he means is, can he prune them and re-pot what he takes for his Nursery....more likely....lol Mary. I dinny get one singe Chockie mate...:>(((( Sandra. Good onya mate. Give e'm the old Ozzie salute...lol Gwenda. Sorry to hear about your mums sister, my best wishes to your family. Yes, Barb is the only woman i know who can eat Chocolate and make a profit....LOL But then, she is a business woman, for 40 years now, and very independent. If i dropped dead to-morrow she might come to the funeral.....lol I guess, that's why we are so compatible really.She runs her Business independently, and i run my Business Independently. She does her thing,( no questions asked ) and i do my bloke thing ( no questions asked ) and we meet somewhere in the middle, but she gives me the final say, on major decisions. Soooooooo..( Major decision ).......i think i should get alf that thousand......:>))))))) Pam. More A than Class.....hee hee. O'h yes, she is RC alright, but she makes her own luck. When we were in Singapore this year, we were walking around little China town market. There was a Palm reader sitting reading peeps hands. I'm a bit suss with Crystal balls and fortune tellers, and never had my Palm read before,but Barb was paying, so sat meself down. His name was Tony....Mmmmmm...we off to good start...hee hee He asks me if i want the good news and the bad, or just good. I says, tell me both. He take's my hand and says.....Mmmm you velly lucky fella he says... and i mean velly ,velly lucky..lol You have very long ( sounded like Fishes )......( later i assume he meant Fissures ) Apparently, the longer your Fissure's are the better your luck is? Anyway..he tells me a little bit about myself, some true, some perhaps. Barbs sits down..he tells her a bit about herself.....then looks at me??? He says.....Barb you a little lucky too.( pointing at me ) Tony is bringing you the luck....:>)))) Well, did i get the evil look from Barb....LOL Yes, Barb is lucky................but i have Chi ( Feng Shui )on my side.....and bringing her the luck......hee hee Gawd..... i liked that Tony bloke. One thing he did say, when we were leaving struck me a bit. He said, i think you two should get married???? We never told him we wernt married!!! and Barb was wearing a ring on her left hand ( Engagement ring ) We are engaged, and have been since 1992. Best wishes to all the sickies, and congrats to all the proud Parents at the moment. Tony Oz..:>)))

Tony the feng shu aint working for me mate, I got toooo much clutter, and that's why I'm sick all the time :( I've been procrastinating for almost 5 years now, and nothing much has changed. I know it's my own fault, - I really need motivation (does anyone know where you can buy that?? tee hee Wunna these days .................. Unlike Barb, I think I'm better at spending money than winning it :) .. But we'se all different Luffy fluck - Wot's this secret message you and Vonny have - I cannot understand it .. lol Jood

More ar*e than class Tony....you make sure Barb buys that Lotto ticket for you on Friday. Mary.....where do I find those pickles of you in the pool? I wanna see them....stamps foot! Laurie...are you a travelling ad for the golden arches? Can you wave to my MIL as you pass Taree? Lara....<<<clap>>> to Tiger for his success in the Bocci. It's dinner time. Graeme is BBQing and I'm hungry. See ya later. Love Trifley X

Lara....forgot to tell you. I was reading a Reader's Digest at the Docs yesterday and it mentioned a trial on people who had narcolepsy. They had good results from a drug called P r o v i g i l. Have you heard of it? TX

Evening Wattlers Well another room done, 6 plus passage to go. Having a bit of a break tomorrow as I am going to visit a friend with another couple of ladies for her birthday, who now lives in a nursing home, she is 92. I think I could also do with a bit of a break as I have realised I've got muscles where I didnt know I had, they are a bit achy, plus I have to wait for the ladder to get here from the landlord. Mary your pool sounds nice and from what I've read, it sounds like you have had fun in it. Like others have asked, where do I go to see the pics pleeeeeeease? Tony gee Barb really has the lucky touch. As long as her figure doesnt suffer from eating the chockies lol. Laurie I hope you arrived safe and sound in Qld, and didnt get too many bogus police pulling you up lol. Well its an early night for me, A coffee , watch All Saints then bed. Catch you all tomorrow. Cheers Sue

Tony that Barb is a winner isn't she better let her buy the 10 liner on friday , Mary sorry caused controversy about pool photos thought we would have all seen them. Mary Whatever were you thinking putting in those marijuanna plants not yet mate got to wait a while LOL Sandra PMSL what a hoot good on you although please be careful as some bloody weido's around a 17yr. old was killed in Cairns this week because of road rage bloke just got out of his car and stabbed him. Pam of course one wouldn't be having any of the HOME icecream on the www program would one 'oh darn did you say no' they don't have a NO Fat version. Gwenda you are off to the USA wow is it just a holiday? OK yes Vonny and Pam what's going on you two? Trifley I havn't heard of that drug but will ask about it when I get home did it say the trial is over and that peeps said it was good please?, maybe I can google the name and see what they say mate thanks for that . Lew did you Sarah Louise yet and give her the snuggle for me too? Suzyq cause you can buy extra lotto whenever you go shopping its just to mark Friday as its Wattle Day we should all do the same on our Wattle club birfaday it is the 17th of October the Anniversery of first day of the Wattle Club that has become such a fun thread and a life line for some of us at times, and the wonderful means of us all being able to keep in touch and become firm friends so let's do it again then too and what say we all we all stand out side and release three yellow balloons into the sky at a certain time or if one of you has an idea let's know about it ok. ok must go ny nite to all specially those who aren't well love Lara

Hi all,, I am sorry I didnt send the pickles of me cavorting in the pool and spa as I am not really a pretty sight...LOL but for those that asked you have received... I have sent in my application for a booking at Mudgee for the meet but I havent heard back yet.. If we win lotto this week we may be able to book out the whole motel just for us... Sue go easy on that ladder...besides the landlord should be getting in paid help to do all that sort of cleaning..I hope he is compensating you for your work...Just dont overdo it... Tony Who ate all the chocky.......Is Barb feeding her customers..or has she got it stashed away for a rainy day,, all without the wrappers so that you dont know what they are...LOL Well its about time I hit the hay so see ya all in the morning.. Love Mary xxxxx

Gooday Wattlers!! I hope you are all well, not doing too bad meself lately... Had a great week last week.. i did overdo the food and drink quite a bit though.. Went out with the family last Tuesday for a meal etc, then Val from West Wirral came to mine on Thursday to stay over for a few days, and we got together for a meal out and a few drinks with Joyce and Carol.. Then Friday Val and I went to town (Chester) and had a browse around the shops and had lunch and a few more bevvies ...lol.. Saturday of course was the Manchester meet so we met up at the station and went by train... had a brilliant day, there was a Gay Carnival which went passed the place we had our meet in... fantastic atmosphere, the streets were packed... We finally arrived back in Chester around 11.30, a bit worse for wear but happy ... I had another day out with one of my daughters and her girls yesterday for a girly day...shopping and lunch... was the last of the big spenders so now its pull me belt in time...lol... You all take care now and love to all... Anne xxx

Jood, it is just all the 'sick' little sayings Vonny has been leaving on the thread. Some of the earlier ones were really bad. She is up to number 16 today. Okay Tassie, take it easy now or won't be up to scratch to finish all your packing and cleaning...Enjoy you day off. Lara, Home Icecream is definitely a low fat product. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~to everyone~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Duffy

Evening Wattlers. Hi Anne ( HR ) Had a look at the pictures of the Manchester meet on Photo board yesterday. Looks like everyone had a great time. Mary. You growin 'Marry who ya wanna'???? Well....if ya freeze it, it lasts longer, but then...... i wouldnt know if thats true or not. Lara.Thems sweet old ladies who are watering there preety weeds, should pull them out and throw them in the garage....preferable upside down from the raffters...but then i wouldnt really know if that's true or not, as i had only heard thats the best way to dry/..e'rm kill them off....... when i was a child of the 60s....( Peace brother...YY ) Geeeeeeez..i wish peeps would add birth Countries when they add to there trees. Jus bin checking me Hot Matches, and have soooooooo many possibilities...but no Countries added. Not even a County.. or State/ Province nothing.....so could be anywhere in the world....Makes it real hard, and cant be bothered to email all these folk, If they cant add a Country of birth, then they probably dont know. Lew. Do you have any Richardson relations born around 'Hay' in N.S.W..... c.1893 to 1912..ta Tony Oz...:>)))

*Vonny tip-toes in muttering 'sick!! sick!!! I'll make her sick. Is it Duck season yet???* :)))))))))))) 19. He had a photographic memory which was never developed. 20. A plateau is a high form of flattery. 21.The short fortuneteller who escaped from prison: a small medium at large. 22. Those who get too big for their britches will be exposed in the end. 23.
