Happy Birthday Shaz :-)

Mornin' Wattlers Dear Anna.........so sorry to hear about your ex MIL. She must have been a very nice person to want to stay friends with you after your split from her son. Another good woman gone to help the angels. A tender, heartfelt hug for you and his family <<<<hug>>>>. A slightly happier note. Guess what I found at Coles Yesterday?..............................That's right...........Polly Waffles! I got 3 but hubby and son discovered them last night so now I'm down to 1. This has been hidden for me to enjoy later today....yummmyyy Shaz........happy birthday to you. I'm not going to sing. If you have heard me in the 'Corner' you will understand why :o) Have a great day girl, I hope you get some nice pressies. Big hugs and happy thoughts to all our happy group. Particularly those who have friends or rels in the path of the cyclone in Nth. Queensland. See y'all later. luv Trifley

Afternoon All Shazz Happy Birthday, hope you have a good one. Sounds bad up top end of Queensland. My Mum and Dad are going up that way at the end of May, They are going to Airlie Beach, Cairns, Hayman Island to name a few places the back to Melb for long weekend in June so they can get to watch a couple of football matches. Dad goes for those blue boys and Mum goes for everyone, She is the only person I know who can watch a football match on TV, while having a radio up to her ear listening to a different match. She also will be adding her 2 bob worth about the matches, you just have to work out to what match she is singing out about. She might say kick the Bloody ball, so you look at the TV and the Umpire is holding it PMSL., it is definately entertaining being at their place when the footy is on. Well only on here brieflly as with the extras here I have to share the puta :-((( Catch you all later Sue

Hello all Wattlers, Beeeeeuuuuuutiful weather here in Albury this weekend, hope all the peeps up north are safe this morning when the cyclone does it's thing. I had a little chat to Vonny Sunday afternoon, she wanted me to let you know that she's definately got 'pooter withdrawral symptoms and will be back as soon as poss. We didn't get to meet in person because of schedules, but hopefully will meet in Yarrawonga. Even tho' it was gorgeous weather yesterday I was pooped and had a nanny nap in the afternoon and an early night, I'm still tired today so have to be good to myself this week and get enough sleep!! Have been watching us get a few medals- wasn't the marathon exciting!! Take Care everyone, Heather in Albury

Happy birthday Shazz - hope you have a great day. 21 again? birthday hugs Anna

21 today, 21 today, Happy Birthday Shazz. It would have been my Mum's 88th birthday today. Anna, so sorry to hear about your ex MIL. Such a shame that she had the op, makes you wonder doesn't it. Lara poem was lovely, I have copied it. Lew, wonderful holiday on the canals. I would like to do that in France. Did you see the Rick Stein programme in France? Larry has done a lot of damage. I hope that eeryone is okay. It appears that everything is in place for a speedy clean up. Not like New Orleans. Now there is another one building around Fiji. Lets hope it keeps away. Been watching the games again. Yes the marathon was exciting. Today I have enjoyed the men's and women' s 20k walk. If we aren't careful we will be accused of cheating. But don't you feel proud. I do hope rebs comes back. Now am I mistaken ( not much of a footie fan ), did the mighty Qld Lions beat Collingwood? Do I go to the naughty corner now? I will leave you with that happy note LOL Love SuzyQ

Afternoon All and let’s hope that FNQ is okay. Yes, SuzyQ, I’d love to do the French canals as well. Friends of ours have already done them and said it was wonderful, so maybe we should do UK first then travel across the Big Canal (channel) then do France. Now that would be fun! Hope you are having a wonderful birthday Shazz. Enjoy! Hubby’s out at the house site today giving the builders curry. Was out there at the weekend and reckon it there’s no way it’s going to be ready by 31 March!!! Grrrrrrr. Have a great afternoon everybody. *waves furiously to all* Lew Lew xxx

Happy birthday Shazz - hope you've had a great day and are getting spoilt. All this talk of canaling - have thought it would be nice to drift along so will have to add that to the list of things to do when we get our LSL which means I'd better keep working to pay for this holiday of a lifetime. Or win Lotto Just seen a quick news-bite on the cyclone - didn't look good and probably worse in some other parts where they haven't got a reporter on the ground. Catch y'all later Gwenda

Sorry about the cyclone Queenslanders, didn't look at/hear the news for 3 days!! have friends in Cairns, must try and see how they are. Canals!!! did someone mention Canals??? That is my all time favourite wish to travel the canals in a Narrowboat in England. Some of my rellies BUILT the canals (well some of them lol) The Brindleys. I'm in. Vonny, *rushing to get out the pictures of narrowboats and dream*

Geez - first up this morning and no-one told me it was your birthday Shaz - sorry mate - hope you had a good day.
