Tony Mary Vonny Laurie Babs and all those who were worried about moi (not tiger who P **** off to golf} and left me to fend for myself, I'm fine its from lifting something or maybe being in a draft its a catch 22 with me as like a bit of fresh air but seem to be susceptable to drafts and will be more careful but with e tiger still paving etc he spent from 7am till 7pm last night just doing the cuts around the pool etc for the pavers and bricks we hired a saw so he wanted to do them asap so I suppose he deserved the day off to go to golf hehe and couldnt ask him to give me a hand lifting some pots with dead plants in out of sight till I empty them and scrub and replant them with some plants that will put up with being neglected while we are away as the prodigal wont be here and wouldnt be any help if he was as didn't water them anyway. omg go Geelong just heard the score prodigal and tiger will be happy little vegemites Go Dazza got to go and dish tea now bye all love Lara

Lara - just came back on and heard about your painful shoulder - ouch! Poor thing - take care and don't overdo it. Hope you're feeling better tomorrow. Welcome Pat, Pam and sunny Pam - you are just trying to confuse us (which is not hard to do!) It's lovely to see some more Aussies adding to the thread. Only a few hours now until we know our fate!! Bye for now Anna Exits singing the Wattle anthem very robustly!

Evening Wattlers! The Princess of UnPacking checking in! Well day one has gone smoothly. The rain has stayed away, although it has been very windy today. All of the boxes that were in storage have been emptied and my body is very tired. A couple of good friends dropped in this afternoon bringing afternoon tea, fresh anzac biscuits and warm banana bread with them. Geoff then helped Terry move some heavy stuff and Pam insisted on doing broom duty while I continued unpacking. That girl is wonderful! Back out again tomorrow moving all of our clothes and personal items that we've had with us in the Villa. I must say, having the use of our fully self-contained Villa has been a godsend. It enabled us to put 'everything' into storage and now we can just move out and leave everything behind. Now, Lara, you be careful. Don't overdo things. You've got to be fit and well for your upcoming Meet. Hope our Julie is okay. Chicken soup is what she needs and lots of hugs. (((O))) Nice to see some more new faces here. I feel like I've been here forever, but it's only been since January! A special welcome to Pam in Birriwa. As we're almost neighbours, maybe we can meet for a coffee in Dubbo one day. Babs, don't worry about a cyclone getting me. I'm about 260km nw of Sydney on the Great Dividing Range, which is a mountain range which almost runs the full length of the east coast of Australia. I'm also too far south for cyclones. Heard from that son of your's yet? Wishing us all good luck for tonight's Lotto draw. Will try and catch up with you all again tomorrow. *waves to all her friends, blows kisses and starts whistling the Wattle anthem, knowing her singing voice leaves a lot to be desired* Lew Lew xxx

hello again all, No Joodles I know Pat as she lives near Hervey Bay and yes we call in to Hervey Bay on the way home or up every year , Pat drops in every now and then, hello Pat how's the weather up there ? But I do wish the girl who lives up near Emerald , inland from Rockie would come on and put me out of my misery does anyone else remember her please or was it a figment of my imagination . Has anyone done any worthwhile research lately other than Laurie I'm in a bit of a rut at the moment can't think what to to do next with not much enthusiam either as everywhere I go I am hitting a brickwall, so frustrating that I have back to 1695 on some uk peeps but can't find the ones here. I have to be more broadminded meaning even though my Samuel said his parents were from Tasmania , I will start looking everywhere but there as he wasn't exactly a truthful person sometimes , same as the Walsh 's I had that said they were born in the UK well no they weren't, they were born in Fremantle WA and everyone said don't trust things in IGI but in this case they were right and even thought the births weren't in W.A. BDM that is where he was born, as apparently it was not compulsory to register the babies births so some didn't . I found a message .from a rellie who I have known about for years and have tryed to get in touch with , on a message board and emailed her but still havn't heard from her, curses, and also sent of a request to a historical society and no answer from them either , feel very sick of the ancesters who don't want to get found and their descendants too who don't seem to be interested in from whence they came loving it so much I can't understand this at all . Anyway will go and send this girl another email and see what happens, bye Love to all Lara

Evening All, Well I have done it!!!!!!!! New family tree prog up and running. Can't wait to test it out. Went out to the farm today to do a few pre sowing jobs, get some equipment ready for when it rains, ....or should i say if it ever rains. I keep reading on the wattle how it is raining somewhere and get quite jealous. This could be our last year as farmers if we don't get a good year....enough of that, me and mine are fairly healthy and that is the most important. Hope your injury is on the mend Lara, you will have to get your OH to give you a rub. Fingers crossed for our numbers, make that everything crossed. Lew Lew, hope your shifting is not wearing you out too much, it can be so tiring. So much to do .......and then the cleaning involved, both the house you move from and then the house you move to. OK i off to rub any lucky charms i can find, ........Go numbers.......... Night All

Lara Are you thinking of Cilla from Werris Creek by any chance.. Mary

Good on you Wilson for daring to be brave - glad your program is working ok now. Where is your farm?? Jood

Many thanks for the warm welcome messages. Have had a few different suggestions re getting my 'name' sorted out and hope this latest one from Mary will work as the others didn't seem to. Anyhow, fingers crossed, maybe that should be eyes and everything else as well? Looking forward to the 10th June in town. I'm getting a brand new Barina sedan. They've only just been released! Should be able to pick it up on Wednesday. Nice shiny silver one. (and with '06 compliance plates) I've been given strict instructions I have to keep this one clean and tidy so I've ordered some cute little rubbish containers for it. After having a dead radio for a few years it will be lovely to have music again - controlled from the steering wheel no less. Best go and do a bit of something else, as I've been on 'the Machine' all day. Best wishes to all and hope everyone who's poorly wakes tomorrow feeling well again.

No Mary darlin Cilla is in Mackay now, I can't for the life of me remember her name, it was on the old thread of course and she lived right up near Emerald inland from Rockhampton never mind mate she will post a message one day. Lew you nutter will give Petee a heart attack lol good on you Wilson congratulations now you can add all the stuff from the expo well ladies I just got an email offering me something to enlarge my p***s by 10 cm was tempted to show to tiger but no deleted it and blocked sender I am so sick of these stupid emails too from somewhere with words that make no sense and ask you to buy shares or give your bank a/c no's so they can send you money they have YES SURE MATE~WILL DO THAT NOT ha ha, bye for now Lara

Well you're obviously feeling better Lara! I think Petee will be very happy with that email. Of course, we've now confused the bejesus out of the rest of the thread, pmsl !!!!!!! What time is Lotto on? I don't want to unpack nuffink more!! I'm too precious for unpacking, need to have slaves!! Ooo Sunny Pam, which Pam are you? Thanks for your thoughts Wilson. When we win Lotto, I'll just send the cleaners through. Lew Lew (with all bits crossed xxxxxxxxx)

Lew of course none of us is confused already lol as Reb says a bunch of out of control mostly geriatric non juvenile deliquents and by the away where is that girl ?lol are coming to Queensland meet up too ? Hi Sunny Pam yes it will be beaut to see all the girls that come along ,and the clingons can find something to do like wander around the market omg michael (tiger )would rather have a tooth pulled lol no surely they can just drop those of us who need them to get there and go and find something that interests them I know if Mike drives me in from Redcliffe area where we will be staying he will be going to have a game of golf or Cassie daughter will bring me in while he goes to golf somewhere . cheers Lara

Anna - sneaking in, head hung down, tail between legs. Sorry folks - bought the wrong tickets. No flipping good. Had 2 lines with 3 numbers but no supps unfortunately. Cancel the enormous tellies, plane and boat tickets, electrical devices etc etc. Jood - hope you have better luck next week. Sneaking out, bottom lip all wobbly, Anna

Awwwwwwwwwwwww Anna - don't cry. Ya did ya best. Oh crikey - its my turn - wot a responsibility :-(((( I'll have to put the tickets in the bank vault so I wont lose them! Jood

Here I am Mumsie Lara. What's this about an injury. You okay Hon???? Been at dance comp for most of day. Only just got in. The girl got a 1st in her heavy (jig) and 2nd in both her soft shoe dances (reel and slip jig) I'm supposed to be at a family do right now, but I think I'm safer staying away. Has anyone heard from JulieCat? She's been missing with her virus for a while. *wonder if naughty corner 'tender answers to the name Virus* How's the move going Lew Lew? I've moved 4 times in 3 years (and yet somehow never managed to lose any junk along the way) so I don't envy you. I hate packing, and unpacking is even worse. Rudee, you and Lara are just going to love this. The girl has recently started playing gaelic football. In a quick dash to the shopping centre this morning for a tube of tit tape and bobby pins for dance, she informed me she needed socks for tomorrows game. The colors??? Black and white stripes. Oh, the shame, the shame. Anna, don't worry 'bout the numbers sweetie. I only ordered a small battery operated device, so I can still afford it. lol!!! Hiya Pam. You're more than welcome to come to the meet. The more the merrier. Dates and venue have already been mentioned, and will stay as that unless it has to be changed. Anyway, off to find something to eat. It's hard work watching all those kids jump around. I'm starving. Cheers, Rebs x
