Evening All Puddy Tat, we all have a pickle of you, when you had your hair dun............. Can't foooool us nooooooooo Annie - so glad to have my little gal home with me, but am disappointed that she has to go home earlier than I thought she would - but then - a little time is better than no time - I'm grateful. Mudgee will keep me going !!!!!!!! Will have to invest in a tank.............. Nighty nite, sleep tight Don't let the bed bugs bite Ducky

Afternoon everyone :-) Pam glad Mel is with you at last. Hope you are all well. Just spent some time reading and forgot to write anything down so can only remember a little lol. btw I have not been near any baubles, trees or tinsel. I am a good puddy-tat I am ;-))) Re pics no idea if anybody has one of me, don't recall sending any out anyway, not that that means much lately lolol. Anna enjoy planting your seedlings :-))) ~~~~~~~~~~~to all Catxx

Nighty night everyone Duckers - you are sounding very upbeat which is wonderful. Have a great visit with the lovely Mel. Then it will be Mudgee before we even know it. I was meant to be watching telly with Chris tonight ......... but I had a lovely sleep in the lazyboy chair instead! For those who asked - we have about 7,000 litres of water in the tank. It's half full. That's enough to water the garden for a while. I'm going to buy some petunias before Christmas. I usually have a garden full of flowers for Christmas but this year just planting some seedlings will be a pleasure. See you all tomorrow. Luv Anna

Joods, glad you had a good day, especialy bil's results.. Enjoy the rest of your holiday Luv and hugs Duckers

Lara, I will send you Mel’s pickle when I get home. .. I would like Merle, Cilla & Donna, also Jill's pickles. .. I believe I have Jill, but not sure which one she is. Fluffy, bil is fine today, but my sister did the driving, and will do so for a few days. He has to report to his local Dr tomorrow. .. We are pretty sure it was the violent sneeze that cut off the circulation to his arm and mouth. ..The hospital would not have let him go home if they weren’t satisfied. .. It was a bit daunting waiting on the news from the hospital, but all is well. Lara have pm’d you re pictures on your emails. Sorry about your friends Mum Flakey, hope your Ma is ok. Best wishes to Trifley for next Tuesday Get well Merle Hi to my mates Fanny & Mary Didn’t have lunch, just a cup of lemongrass & ginger tea, but later this afternoon went to nieces place, had a swim with the two little people 3 & 6, got drenched with all their splashing and squeals and giggles. ..

Hi all, just caught up on five pages, Merle bit of a worry that leg of yours take it easy and healing wishes for himself Fluffy Yeah! Mel is home, enjoy enjoy enjoy. Trifley, hugs to you, you party animal!! lol Laurie, did you say you were coming home this Tuesday, if you are hang in there when you get home you can have the biggest martoonie this side of the Blue Mountains, I think you deserve it, I had to go lie down after reading your msg. lol Joods glad your bil is ok, enjoy the rest of your holiday. Son and dil 2b moved into their new house yesterday, settlement was 4.15pm Friday. very exciting for them, we went round today and gave them the w.mchn. had a toast, then the boys (oh & son) started talking about all the improvements that need doing, very funny listening to them. Ron is very good at diy and Chris grew up helping, he is an electrician now, very handy to have in the family, now it's going to be dad helping, or not, be interesting to see who ends up wearing the chief's hat, although they are very close so they might share,lol Lew Lew I was reading through a back copy of a caravan mag. and came across a lovely article on Mudgee, on one page it shows a photo of this beautiful old building it's painted blue and it's the premises of a firm of solicitors, do you know it? Love to all, hope you have had a great day Jillx

Hello Wattlers, had a hectic few days, with a lot more to come but will pop in when I can. Lew, were we at the same party last night??, didnt see you there...lol We had friends from Adelaide over for the weekend, but at midnight last night they got the call they half expected to say Linda's Mum had passed away. So change of plans and they flew out again before 7 this morning. We didnt get home from the xmas party til 2.30 and were then at the airport at 6 so a bit sleep deprived today. Trying to get all H***k done today as this week will be crazy at the office, hol pays and month end stuff to get done before breakup on thursday. I had a quick browse back...... good work on the lotto nos and ok with me to go for broke on the 30th welcome to our visitors from OS >>>HUGS<<< to those not 100% enjoy all the xmas dos everyone ~~~~~~~Flakey

~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all, finally surfaced today after mid-day :) Went down with a lurgy on Friday afternoon - typical, go like crazy and when you finally stop the body catches up!!. But we still managed to go up to Richmond last night for the engagement party and home again - arrived home 2am. I was so full of a head cold that I look like a stunned mullet in the pictures so I'm not sending them out :) Due out for John's traditional Boaties Chrissy party this afternoon but I have piked out on the boat ride part and will only go down for the dinner - I'll be dressed up in a period dress so might send a pickle if it looks better than last night's effort!! I do feel a bit better today. Hurray for the win :) Looks like we will have lots of chances on the 30th. Jood - the first win at Yarrawonga was around $28 I can't remember the cents. By the way - when you do up the next list Tony, could you put me on sometime in Feb please? because I will be away for 5 months starting March. Tony - the Carols sound lovely. Hope you have a great time. We have a Carol service tonight but I will have to miss it. Thinking of you all :) Vonny Have a lovely time with Mel, Ducky and also, when does Donna's step-dau arrive? Congratulations Yvette - so happy about your new job.

afternoon wattlers and friends. everyone is soo busy. i've just had the afternoon constitutional. big night last night with the 'kiddies' Miles and I walked home at 11.30, took us 1/2 hour, just dropping off to sleep when the other 2 came home and were still in party mode. I know they all love me but... The lotto looks good for this weekend! I am quite happy with the itinery Lara and will gladly come as well. Have landed a new job and kinda have to knock back a couple more. I start either just after xmas or after the new year. So sad I might have to knock back all of them to fit the holiday in. Start making room for ALL of us cat, we'll be on your doorstep before you know it. lots love Yvette xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Afternoon Wattlers Not much happening on here today. I actually got bored playing games on puta and looking in to see if anyone was about, that I went and had a sticky on Gen Board, there is a Thread called Ladies,WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOSE HALF A STONE FOR CHRISTMAS? THEN READ ON !! Well I had a sticky at it and it is well worth the read just for the laugh I am going to our candles by candlelight tonight also, so I guess it might be a quiet night on here. Might see if anyone is about on the other side. Cheers Sue

Hi all again, Think I might skip lunch today - wonder why?? .. Well, you see, I had a nice brekky in a hospital overlooking a Yacht Club on the Swan River. .. No, it wasn't a mistake, they really do do breakfasts there and the cream of Claremont (one of the more affluent suburbs) were also dining. .. Strange but true. .. Quite nice .. I was told to take my sunnies, but left them in the car, - it was a bit glary looking outside.on the water. .. I was intrigued by one old guy who was trying to row his boat in the shallows, then tried his motor - but it wouldnt go. .. He just sat there. .. I must have turned away, and when I looked back, he'd gone, probably home. .. He obviously was going to motor to his big boat and go out for the day. .. Wouldnt you be sooo mad! lol Only a few sleeps now ~~ 9 I think! Have a great day all. Love Jood Lara, this is the pm I sent Miss-L-Toe ==== Merle if I have the photos you are asking for - on this laptop, I''ll gladly send them, and tell you who''s who. .. Is there any person in the group you don''t have a pic of??? I have everyone''s. .. Can you send me one of you pls? .. You will notice we call them pickles - that started when I typed pickies and someone couldnt read it, thought I said pickles, so that''s how it came about lol .. So sorry to hear about your leg, and very good luck to you and himself for Monday at the Drs. .. Pity you couldn''t duck up to Perth and have a mini meet. ==== But I don't have those pics with me unfortunately. .. Damn. .. I was in so much hurry, so much to do, that a lot of stuff wasn't copied over to the lappie. . Never mind. This lazy life is making me soooo tired, mainly around the eyes - dunno why. .. Be hard to race around again chasing my tail, I rather like the lazy life - certainly couldnt keep up with Laurie's pace hiking up 7 flights of concrete stairs several times in a day!.
