Laurie - did I miss something somewhere? What are you talking about lunch - and they - and feast - and they, and food ?????? Can't recall you mentioning anything earlier ?? I had a nice lunch today (sweets were crepes and berries and cream and icecream) - so I decided to forego dinner tonight. .. Such sacrifice, don't you think? Jood

Morn/afternoon everyone, Tony, No baby yet??? Happy December to all my new and very valued friends.I do enjoy the banter and the songs. Just think only one more day and we have to join with all you backward states and go on pretend time. It's enough to make me want to go live in Queensland.Seems it's the only sensible govt. in oz! Will attemp to drag out the chrissie decs today to keep up with the Jonese etc.though we won't be home for Christmas day. We'll be out with the 'new '' family. My gosh you should see the booze they've got stashed out there in readiness already. Should be quite a day. I've made the cake and have to douse it with sherry again today and have to may great quantities of rocky road I'm told. Not quite sure how we're going to organise all the oxygen for hinself.May have to tie him to the gopher and drag him along behind to make room for the cylinders. Hope the other expected baby arriives.As my gran used to say, My girl, when the apples ripe it will fall. Merle

Arvo Xmas Wattlers...:>))) Mary Christmas & Virgin Merry. Its Friday week..that they will induce Daughter....... ( Not this Friday )....lol Thats if bubs waits that long.....but I'm hoping daughter will go in before next Friday because it is well and truly cooked, and by then she wiil be 10 days overdue. She was due monday ( just gone ) and Tuesday they did a membrane sweep..( Oooooohwahh.........will ya listen to me Dr.Spock...lol ) ..and this sweep apparently releases a hormone that surposed to set things in motion.........but this kid is stubborn ( like its Pop ) and wont come till its ready. Just spoke to daughter on Phone, and two of her older sisters are around at her house keeping her company ( Both have children )..so she is in good hands. This will be a great Xmas for me and Barb, and couldn't have asked for a better chrissy pressie than to cuddle the latest edition to my family. I know this ( new bubs ) will start a chain reaction with my other girls,( its a sister thing ..lol ) and feel a few more grankids are still on the horizon.....:>)) I may not know a lot....but i do know my girls.....hee hee Laurie..:>))) Love the song mate x...lol ...A classic. Will copy and paste that to me little poem folder. And Sue Tassie also....hee hee Thats a bewdy ( Get ya gear off ) Love that one mate...lol Yvette. Thanks for the Lotto, and will post off to everyone a bit later. Might get me a Ham & Salad roll for lunch, and better make Bar-code Barb one also....as she gave me a freebie last night.....:>))) Haircut, number 4 clippers........i feels as neked as a jaybird...lol Av a good un. Ruddee Oz........:>)))) * singing* Deck the Halls with lots of grandkids..fa ..la..la..la..la

Ya did a bewdiful job cleaning the place up and decorating.....you must be a treasure at home. Looks like another warm day here on the GC.....no rain in sight. I hope those of you affected by fires are soon breathing fresh air again. Happy day to everyone... Big hugz Trifley X

Afternoon All, Place looks great, very festive. Any news yet Ruddee??? I am working nights at the minute, so reading but not adding often. Not sure if i am awake or not most of the time hehe. Really enjoying the carols though, you are all sooo clever :-))) Take Care All, Wilson (with no chrissy name yet), i have noooo imagination lol.

Good afternoon all . . . Just ducking my head in - haveing a break from the food preperations for the feast tonight. . . (if they survive lunch teehee). Dragged the Chrissy decos out this morning . . . just itching to get them up . . . I love Christmas !!! Wonder how the baby business is (Joodles I think maybe Tony knows what colour he is getting!) The pappas grin will be a mile wide . . . and nanna barcode will be fluffing about - Ah what an exciting time for the family - all those nice baby smell snuggles! Ah well back to the kitchen . . . making some slices for desert, they will be eating around the pool tonight so nothing very formal. Catch you all later luv Laurie

Can you please sign with your real name so I know who it is what's blethering! Some beautiful Christmas songs and verses - love your original composition Laurie! Too clever for words. See you all later Luv Anna

Morning all The array of chrissie names is dazzling - some spectacular ones - loved yours flakey, so apt. Well the wattle baby is coming today - I think it's a girl, but no doubt Rudee is hoping for a little boy to play football with. I'm off to the pub today to have lunch with neighbours and former neighbours of these townhouses. .. (Only 6 of us) - ho hum, what a life .. lol Jood

Morning all And a beautiful day it is for the first day of summer. I just got a phone call from the pacemaker clinic to see if I could come in earlier for my appointment today so as I didnt have much to do and I've already had shower and got dressed so it was not a prob. I loved the poems and songs so I thought while we was in the mood I might add a couple more. Santa’s gonna come on a surfboard Well, I’ve been sorta worried About Santa Claus this year ‘cause we live way down south and it doesn’t really snow down here Well, I’m a tellin’ you not to worry ‘cause I just got the word everybody listen close and I’ll tell you what I heard Santa’s comin’ on a surfboard Instead of his trusty sleigh He’ll have a jet ski instead of reindeer Towin’ him through the waves ‘cause the weatherman had some problems he couldn’t get snow you see Santa’s comin’ on a surfboard When he visits you and me Well Santa cant bring his reindeer He’ll leave them far away But don’t you worry ‘bout him He’s gonna be here Christmas Day He’s got a big red surfboard With jingle bells and all There’s gonna be a Merry Christmas Merry Christmas to all And one especially to Rudee as it looks like he is back to being the only male on here Get your gear off Christmas lunch is done Let’s go out in the sun Get your gear off, put your togs on, grab your girl Got socks from aunty Maude Jocks from Uncle Claude Get your gear off, put your togs on, grab your girl Chorus Get your gear off, put your togs on Grab your girl and crack a coldie down the beach Get your gear off, put your togs on Grab your girl and crack a coldie down the beach Beer gets hot in kegs Sandflies bite your legs Get your gear off, put your togs on, Grab your girl Slip, slop and slap Or Santa wont come back Get your gear off put your togs on grab your girl You’ve had your Christmas chook Don’t be a sook Get your gear off put your togs on grab your girl ‘cause late in the arvie We’ll light up the barbie Get your gear off grab your girl Now I bet when you all saw the title you wonder what I was gonna say haaa haaa Have a great day today and a better one tomorrow. Cheers to all Sue

Morning Wattlers ...happy December well Tony is it here yet???? Dec !....spending the day putting up the Chrissy decs and lights, mostly on the outside dont put much up inside apart from the tree. Then I might try a different shopping Ctr for some inspiration for presents. Been up for an hour or so chatting to Kate, she has just got back to London from Iceland, says its an amazing place but soooo cold. She cant wait to get home to the sun but the flights are so overbooked she may not make it for xmas. Better get some brecky, back later Flakey

Oooooo, nice tree, and Bay windows, beeeutiful, never even knew they were there! Good song Laurie - clever little sausage. Got to work this morning so see you this arvo. Only 8 days till we meet - Mary, JA, Gwenda and me - and anyone else who is passing through. Want to come on your way home Lew? (hee hee that rhymes!) Hi Shazz, glad Rob's injuries weren't too bad. Nice poem, I haven't heard it before. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to all. have a lovely day :) Vonny

1 Dec, must be a good day!!!! lotto for me today, betcha thought i forgot huh? happy december to you all and a grinningly wonderful day ahead. love from Yvette x (walking to work cause the pork has come early)

Before I wander off and finish lighting this house up, thought I would add my contribution to the christmas dittys, although mine is stolen from my grandchildrens chrissy tales SNOWFLAKES Did you know, That every little flake of snow That forms so high In the winter sky And falls so far Is a bright, six-pointed star? Each crystal grows A flower, as perfect as a rose. Lace could never make The patterns of a flake. No brooch, of Figured silver could approach Its delicate craftsmandship. And think: Each pattern is distinct Of all the snowflakes floating there - The million million in the air- None is the same, Each star Is newly forged, as faces are Shaped to its own design Like Yours .. and mine And yet.. each one Melts when its flight is done, Holds frozen loveliness A moment, even less; Suspends itself in time- And passes like a rhyme.

Morning Wattlers, my another day without peeping in and so much waffling still Firstly, thanks for all the well wishes re Rob, has to resign himself to the fact that its old age catching up on him, well, realy it seems that some of the muscles in his shoulder have stretched causing the bones to move, hard to explain without looking at xrays, but comes down to him having to have couple of sessions of physio, so thankfully nothing too serious Trifley, lovely xmas present, sit back relax and have a couple martoonies for me as well as you silently listen to the cascade of falling water, so meditating listening to it Donna, chin up girl, dont stress out about cost of such, just think happy thoughts re Carleys arrival and the fun time ahead for all Hey Granpa Rudee, has the sound of wailing been heard yet hee hee, Yeah that would be right, could only happen to our Loz, Lucky Bugger you Lew dont despair, like they say, all good things come to those who wait, just think you could be as lucky as Loz and get a free night at the Brissie Hilton as well Vonny, Happy Birthday to John and have a lovely night out, great bargain hunting also Merle, so glad that your OH fits into this little niche so well, hee hee ooohhh Flakey, two weeks to go eh, how exciting whoo hoo Jood, glad to see that nothing very wrong with your little wheels and that Ford have now fixed the problem Happy Greetings to all fellow wattlers, Heather,Gwenda,Tassie, Fanny, Anna, Suzy, Jilly, McMad, Angel, Leah, Sandra, as well as others Ive missed Shaz
