Laurie - hope you had a beaut dinner with the lovely Ray. Trifley - if you don't get out of the bath you'll look like an old prune - but you'll smell lovely! Bye Anna He he heee!

Rebs you boring..........................never :-) Vonny loved the kids answers lol especially the one about mums working both at home and at work etc.............so true *waves to all* Juliexx PS You've all gone mad lolol

Morning All, raining in Cammeray this morning and the ski reunion went wonderfully. It was so good, that we're hosting the next one in Mudgee next year. Good Lord, the things I get myself into!! Well, you lot obviously had all be in the cooking sherry from what I've read - 3 pages of lunacy, LOL. Yes, I think it was very big of me to reunite mother and children on Mother's Day, PMSL. Sorry, I know, off to the Naughty Corner. *wanders off and spies Rebs still crossing herself* Lew Lew xxx

Raining up here too Lew Lew ...... safe driving home. .. A cold winter's morning ... :-(( Yes, it did seem like certain peeps who shall remain nameless, were into the sherry yesterday. .......... *looks unconcerned and polishes nails* Have a good day all, I'm off out soon ........ busy day! Jood

~~~waves~~~ to you Jood. I'll wave again at Springwood. Boy I hope it's raining in Mudgee then!!!!!!! Lew x

Good Morning, There was a piece missing in the 1000 piece puzzle!!!!!!! ~~~~~~~Vonny

Wave to me at Leura Golf Club Lew lew ..... I'm at a club 40th birthday bash. Looking at the weather map, the rain is passing over the coast down near Wollongong (getting it Sandra?) .. But its drizzling down softly here, so who knows! Vonny ..... of course! ... No wonder you couldnt get the jigsaw finished!!! ... Where was it, on the floor????? Jood

Good morning all - a cold, bleak, rainy day on the Bay - can't tell you how many giraffes are working this morning, just a grey blob over that way! Ray was elated when he saw the weather, means he doesn't have to spend the day out on the boat when he doesn't really have the time! We had a lovely dinner out last night, its so nice to have the lovely Ray home, though he probably needs earmuffs, after being here on my own for so long I have heaps to say - but then I think I maybe do a lot of that anyway! My brain has ben busy all night, couldn't sleep for memories . . . I got an email last night from a lady who got my addy off a message board on Genealogy . . . her husband is my mums godson and nephew, his parents split during the war and mum last saw her 'Johnny' in 1944 - but she spoke of him ever so often. One of the funny things I remember well is a ditty she said he used to sing during the war to warn the guys if a provo was about and they were where they shouldn't be it went like so . . 'There's a provo, there's a provo, there's a provo at the gate Checking passes, kicking asses there's a provo at the gate' Darn and drat that we are off to NZ tomorrow - I wont get to meet up with them till I get back . . . He will have memories of my grandma that I never knew . . . poor guy wont know what he has let himself in for . . . Joodles, you have a great day at the birthday bash today - stay safe on the roads! You too Lew, I guess you will be headed back West this morning. Poor Von, Don't you just hate that - the missing piece of the puzzle - but then we're used to that in genealogy aren't we . . . Mental picture of Von & John on hands and knees looking under every piece of furniture, every nook & cranny . . . for a tiny wee piece of blue sky. I guess I should go and repack, think I am going to need a few more layers - and a rethink on the size of the case I take, will check in later on in the day. Have a good one cheers luv Laurie

Happy monday Wattlers, I gave up on you lot yesterday, your all mad...lol We had eldest daughters best friend here for the day (we call her daughter no 3) she is adopted and fascinated with genes but not sure yet if she wants to find her biological mum. Then it was off to MIL so hubby could tune in her new TV which took hours . I got a text from Kate, she is in Spain for 10days, and scratchies and flowers from Jess so that was nice. H*******K day today so I'll be around on and off all day. All those on the road, travel safe Jude2

Hi all Wattlers, Belated Happy Mothers Day and Happy Anniversary to Sue & Neville Haven't been able to get on here 'cos when I have been home so has son and guess who hasn't been able to have the 'net - me Had to catch up on 7 pages since Friday - trouble with too much to do and not enough time to do it all. You all sound like you enjoyed Mother's Day. Mine started with work and ended with heavy metal - ears are still ringing but what a blast. Deep Purple & Status Quo were in town last night - it was a family outing as son always goes to concerts with us and daughter was working backstage feeding the bands - ooohh she met one of the guys from Deep Purple - briefly - he only had a towel around him - he was in the aptly titled 'Undressing room - beware nudity - do not enter if it offends' Now it's back to h*******k and answering emails. Have 'met' a cousin on here who is actually doing quite a bit of leg work on my mother's paternal family - nice to not be the one being bled for info for once. Planning a day in the library tomorrow so can't sit here for too long or I might feel guilty about the chores that aren't done - NOT Have a good day, catch ya'll later (hopefully) ~~~~~waving Gwenda

Morning all Oh woe is me. Puter has been chucking wobblies and a trouble shooter is coming to look at it - and he may have to take it away to run some tests and diagnose!! What will I do without my puter! So if I'm not around it is not because I have done a runner - it's because I will be pining away without my daily Wattle fix. Seriously, after Chris updated the virus protection the wretched computer keeps on crashing which is not an ideal state of affairs. So Chris has been trying to track down the problem and has got nowhere - so having to call in the big guns. Please don't have too much fun without me! Luv to all Anna

Sorry Jood, should have said there IS a piece missing - and it still is!! Laurie, how come you have a camera in our house???? LOL your picture is sooooooo correct. Have a lovely time in NZ (choke, cough) Oh well, as you said, someone has to do it!!! Absolutely glorious Autumn day here - hope those that need it get the rain. Safe travelling to Lew Lew. I think I'll do some gardening for a change :) ~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Afternoon all you Wonderful Wobblies I've pinched Mark's laptop and having a nice play with it. It's nice to be able to 'compute' somewhere other than the office. I had a luuuuvvvvly shower last night. The Body Shop stuff is yummy. Isn't Mark a good boy to think of his mum like that? Laurie....off again ? NZ will be a bit on the cool side so better take your winter woolies. Have a fabulous time. Gwenda...i've pm'd you with raeme's grandfather's details. Any info will be of help.....thanks. Anna...omg what will you do without a puta? I know I'd go into withdrawl. Fingers X X it is not too drastic. Hi Julie Cat....how's spring shaping up in the old country? Joodles....are you playing golf or just partying? Have fun. It's a nice sunny day here on the Gold Coast ....just the kind of day to do h*******k.....darn! Better go. The dust awaits. See y'all later. ~~~~~~~~~waves from me on the barge love Trifley

Hi Wattles, Laurie you naughty girl. I was beginning to get quite flustered. Quite a let down as I don't like buying shoes. Can never find the ones I want except when I don't have the funds. Hope you have a nice time in NZ, hope its not Wellington, they had an earthquake today about 5 on the scale. Anna, it's awful with out the puta, when ours needs repair we have to take it back to Brisbane, and they are busy, so it usually takes a week. Good time to get some cleaning done. LOL Where is Tony. TONY WHERE ARE YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME. I hope that you all had a lovely day yesterday. Those left at home got a bit silly, are we forgiven? As Trifly said, it's a lovely day here in QLD, no sign of the promised rain. Maybe tomorrow. I am sorry, but I just need to get on my soap box. What does any one think about removing the Gideon bibles from hospitals, for fear of offending the non-christians. My suggestion is that the non christians go and put copies of their religious books into hospitals to even things up. Well, bye for now, may look in later SuzyQ

Afternoon Wattlers, back in Mudgee this arvo and, would you believe it, no rain!! Rained all the way from Sydney to Lithgow and not a bleeding drop after that!!! Aarrrggggghhhhh. Well, I finally worked out my new name, I'm Liver Battychunks, lol. Thanks SuzyQ. Oh No, Anna, what will you do without your computer. Hope it's not for long, you'll never catch up!!! Yes Tony where are you. You've gone very quiet. Hope it's not from lack of tablets. Well, better go and unpack. Lew Lew xxx

Afternoon all you little chatterboxes. Aarrgghh !!! What is it with me and electrical items ??? Decided to check what an unmarked cd was today. Opened the cd drawer......one of those where the cd's sit on a rotating platform style thingy and the one playing gets picked up allowing you to open the drawer and change either of the remaining two. What happens? The cd which was playing drops off when the drawer opens, into the bowels of the stereo. Not supposed to happen. Only way to reach it is to take the back off the stereo. Well, any idiot knows that first you have to turn off and unplug the unit for safety reasons....which I do. What happens? The drawer automatically closes when the power is turned off, jamming halfway because the fallen cd is stuck behind it. After hunting for that ever elusive screwdriver (I finally used one that came with the sewing machine), I take the back off, lift the top off, and come to a complete halt. The damn cd has been pushed into a groove thingy by the closing drawer and won't come out. Since it is one of my favourite Beatle cd's, I didn't want to try and force it. Couldn't have been the crappy compilation cd could it? Plugged the blasted thing back in, ignoring warning stickers placed everywhere that removing the back could lead to electrocution, turned it on, opened the drawer, and yes !!! finally retrieved the offending cd. These things never happen when there is a male in the house to deal with it. And of course, only they know where they put the screw driver after they last used it. Never in the tool box where you would expect to find it. I'm completely lost without my stereo. I would choose it over the telly any day. arrrggghhhh!!!!! Off for a good cup of coffee, made with Baileys instead of milk.

Hi Was just sitting here thinking, about the book, Captain Underpants and the perilous plot of Professor Poopypants, The one giving all the funny names. It would be a great book to buy if you have young children or grandchildren. I can just imagine the giggles, especialy from the little boys. Not home yet Tony, or has Barb won the big one and you have both run away.LOL Seriously, I hope everything and everyone is okay. Bye SuzyQ PS John Howard Farcus Pottysquirt Kym Beazley Sleezy Chickenbutt

Michael Jackson Goober Dippinface.
