Okay, looking at the calender how does Sat 17th June sound for a Brissie/Qld meet? That's the weekend before the school holidays start. Southbank sounds good to me because of it's central location. Let me know thoughts on the date, venue etc. And I'd be happy to kick the family out for a night if peeps need somewhere to stay overnight. lol!! Trifley, Purple monkey dishwasher is actually my girls name. She uses it for her email addy. lol!! I'm PMDW's Mum. pmsl!! Rebs x

Hi Rebs 17th June sounds great to me. I'm thinking of staying in a pub near Southbank. I like to treat myself occasionally and have room service and leave wet towels all over the floor and not make the bed so I think a pub is better for me ha ha. Your daughter sounds as if she takes after her mother with the amazing names :o). Why couldn't our ancestors have had names like that? It would have been fun to track them down. Trifley

Ooo, I'm gonna see if I can make it! Put me down as a maybe. Trifley, let me know where you're going to stay and you and I could run amok! Lew Lew xxx

No worries Lew Lew I'll look at what's available. {Leaves room to practise running amok} Trifley

Something Posh please! I'm not a definite, but will try. Lew Lew xxx

Lunchtime all, Hot and windy today. Hope it rains cause I accidently left the tank running all night on the mandarin tree!!! the back yard was floating by this morning!!! :( Rebs, Don't get yourself in hot water - what would we do without you? JA, thanx for the posting re tree. I think I have sorted it out. Lara, hope not all the Murray is burnt near you, we want to camp by it when we come down! My two cousins from Brissy are due today so have had to tidy and dust the house. Now that doesn't happen very often.! Hubby is in Camden today with the solicitor re his mum's will. better away and dust some more. Vonny

Hi All Just checking in briefly as not too good at moment, nothing bad just feel s**t started with a sore throat the other day and yesterday I had no energy and couldnt get interested in anything. Probably just some bug going around. I cant remember who asked about Tamika and how she was after the MS Fest. Yesterday she just mopped around the house and really wasnt herself, spent most of the day just laying around. But today she is more her old self. Recons she wont go to another concert, but as I said the concert is ok just maybe keep away from the mosh pit. I think she may have also been suffering a bit of heat stroke. My other Daughter Dannielle came through it without a worry, I heard that when things got tight and they was trying to get out she just got her Redhead firey temper going and started swinging her arms around and yelling, people soon moved to let her out lol. Some people must of had fun as when cleaners was cleaning up they found heaps of thongs and also a couple of pairs of jeans, mmm I know it was warm, but that warm pmsl. I wont be at the June meetup as Footy is in town so I will be busy with that, not sure about Mudgee???? Where is it?? I may be able to work something out, fingers crossed. Well I am going to veg out again to try and build up the want to eat tea. I hope everyone is well. Catch you Later. Cheers Sue

Oh Sue, you are a disappointment to me!!! lol. Mudgee is 260km north east of Sydney on the beautiful Central Tablelands. Sorry you're not feeling well. Perhaps a stiff drink, for medicinal purposes only, of course. Lew Lew xxx

OOh, hope you are feeling better soon Devley. Hey if this John Partidge is the father of Georgiana, I've hit paydirt. He has work hanging in the London Art Gallery and London Museum, including a self protrait of his family and himself in his drawing room. One of the girls in the portrait could easily be Georgiana. His brother Richard was head surgeon at Kings College Hospital. How many John Partridges-artist can there be? Any one have any ideas how I can find out more about the artist??? I really need to follow this up as much as I can. Rebs x

Hi Rebs, have you tried googling him? Just put John Partridge artist and you'll get a big response. Lew Lew xxx

Yeah, been doing that all morning,- nothing getting done here today, lol- but I can only find bits and snippets. I need to be able to find a bio or something that perhaps will give details such as family members names. I'm probably way off base here, but you don't often find something like this in your tree, so I want to follow through to find out if this john Partridge is mine. *Rebs really wants to share (and gloat) info with MIL*

Ooo, Rebs, I like your style! Gloating is good. I'll do some research for you to see what I can find. Lew Lew xxx

I loved the Partridge family when they were on TV. Are you related to them, Rebs? Heeeee :P) Have you tried to get onto the art gallery website? They might have more info or a 'contact us' where you could ask a few questions. Otherwise go the other way and try to get info on his brother, the surgeon. There might be something there which would lead you back to the artist. Good luck. Uuugghh another ice block and another glass of water! I'm goin' to treat myself tonight and have a teeeeny weeeeny glass of sherry........that's a clear fluid isn't it? luv Trifley

Trifley love, I hate to burst that bubbly little world you live in, but The Partridge Family were fictional. Never thought of trying the art gallery. Good thinkingTrifley!! lol!! *hmmm, spa bubbles didn't effect her that much afterall*

No, I think you must be wrong Rebs..........I saw David Partridge on TV the other night. Doover & Whatsits.....'Where are they now' and you know EVERYTHING you see on TV is real :P) Trifley

LOL Trifley, are you and Lara on the same stuff???

Me thinks that 'stuff' Rebs is another planet!!! Oh nasty Lew Lew *sends self to Naughty Corner*

No, I'm just starving and my brain is deprived of FOOD {Groans and takes another bite of ice block} I'll be back to normal on Wednesday (what really IS normal?) Trifley

Hi all Just popped in to see what everyone is up to. Don't seem to have much time to spend on the puter these days still sorting out the new house plus when we moved we lost our broadband so it is back to the old dial up which is soooooo slow it takes forever to just log on now. When & where is the Brissie meet up as I am coming me thinks I can see my sister at the same time. Excuse me for a moment while I send the cat & dog to the naughty corner they are running around the house playing chasings & driving me nuts. I hope all the rain is getting to where you all want it & if not you can have ours everytime I put washing out lately down it comes so if you want it it is yours. Will drop back in again soon to see whats happening See ya Cilla.

Cilla - Reb said in June - forget what date she said - too far back, but we gotta wait for Laurie to come back from overseas. Talking to Lara on MSN and she said not to send your dog and cat to naughty corner or they will be corrupted, !!! Jood
