Just not sure about how to approach it with my mum...They were married for over 50 years and she really misses him of course.. Went he first passed away I wrote him a letter and have continued to do that through various stages of the year. I even went as far as to buy him a Fathers day card this year. Sorry guys I am going on a bit.. Will get on and do something constructive now... Janet xx

Hi Butters and (((hugs))) for you too. Some anniversaries are soo hard. Hubby will have the first Christmas without his Mum this year. I AM ON HOLIDAY!!!!! have clocked off for a week. We will be in Eden this weekend for the whale festival and then Sussex Inlet from Monday. Can't wait!! It's raining here too. Had a squall just after lunch but now it has come back with gentle rain. So thankful. Mary - next time you go gold hunting give us a call :) We used to do a bit of that before kids!! Have some of the kids over for dinner so have to go and peel the vegeys and clear the table. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Ah Flutters . . . I can relate to how your feeling, try and remember the good things - as for missing your Dad, you always will. Just hurts a little less as time goes by. We wont complain about the weather ladies and gentlemen . . its minus 1 deg in Vegas at the moment - just been talking to a cousin who works over there. I've only been there when the air was too hot to breathe - can't imagine what its like so cold, must be a big job to warm up those enormous big open rooms in the Casino's. It has been trying to rain here, but nothing yet - looks like there is rain all around me but the only wet stuff I can see is in the Bay, with a big container ship on it. The ironing basket is empty . . . I would like to be able to say that Bazza did it for me . . but lazy oaf left it for me! Had thought of leaving it all out around the living room for TLR to see how much I had done and how good I am - but then thought better of that - he would see how idle I have been at other times for it to have gotten to the amout that there was. Anway the boss is home early so best go make him a cuppa luv Laurie

Hiya All.. Hope you are all enjoying your Thursday..( It is thursday isnt it..lol).. Well another sunny day here..Love the warmer weather but i suppose it will not be too long b4 I am complaining.. Cannot believe that xmas is so near this year has just flown away...

Anyway everyone sending hugs to you all who need them and heck to those who dont as well...lol Have a lovely day... Janet xxx

Good Morning Wonderful Wattlers from a loverly wet,wet,wet Melbourne. don't wan't to make you jealous but its raining, its pouring and the garden is so grateful! Had a lovely time on Tuesday with Flakey we met at Brandsmart (like a dfo shopping centre). Flakey is initiating me into retail therapy - its been sooo long since I have done any - most of my shopping the last 10 months has been food or Bunnings. Bent some plastic but on the whole very restrained. When Ken and I were having dinner that night he said he'd been very nervous all day with me going retail shopping especially after I had been to the dentist first (but that was a pleasant surprise - I won't have to contribute to the dentists next luxury car - it was just a clean & polish, examination and x-rays - phew!) Had a great day - thanks again Flakey, however no h********k got done - but I'm sure no one will notice except me. Glad your're back Lew - hope your router imposed exile from us wasn't too stressful. Donna skive off early and rest the arm - don't want to aggravate it even more. You have our permission - lol Hope Trifley you are laid back and relaxed and enjoying your break. When are the V8's on Sue? - I'll have to find Ken an inside job for the day - so he can keep an eye on the TV - mind you he always turns the sound up soooo loud so he can hear it while using the power tools - its like being at the track! (think of my poor ears). congratulations on winning the tickets, Ken said to tell you - good on yer for having a go and winning! Hope you have a wonderful day. Ducky good to see you popping in now and then ((((hugs)))). Mary you feeling revitalised or something - daylight savings has gone to your head! lol up with the birds. Merry Christmas to you too Shazz - you mad b****r.pmsl. Flakey and I bought ourselves a Christmas pen on tuesday and I have already started using mine - getting some strange looks from customers. I have a red pen with a father christmas sitting atop, and Flakeys' was green with an elf (cause she loves green). Thanks for the countdown to sleeps Laurie - its coming in very handy ! Yvette are you doing a countdown to finishing day? ~~~~~~ hi to everyone I haven't mentioned - just 'cause I haven't mentioned you doesn't mean I'm not thinking of you! Have to go do some work as thats why I'm here, also have to get the ir****g done some time today as well. xxx mwah! jude diy

Dialing..........dialing.......dialing.......wet week.........aahh...here I am at last! 'Mornin' everyone.........I'm with you, Crew....NO to Xmas cards. Glad to see you are back with us.....did Telstra do a good job? Anna....so sorry to hear about your power/ electrical goods problems. You wont feel like....or perhaps be able to....entertain us on Friday night. So how about we visit one of Toowoomba's fabulous restaurants? We will be at the motel after lunch tomorrow so we'll give you a call. Big hugs and most regal wave to everyone else. We are off for coffee and another trawl of the shops. Love Trifley X

He,He, Jood,, Gotta be up early to beat you my girl,,, Lew Have a nice day with Rebecca and Ruby.. Is Lily fixed yet??? Tassie Glad things are sorting out for son, Is Tamika still enjoying her job. Hope our Queen is having a good time on R&R, and hasent bent the plastic to much. Its 9.12 and I am still in my jamies so I had better get a move on and shower and dress. Back later Love Mary xxxx

Good Morning Wattlers and a happy Thursday to you all. Having lunch with Rebecca and Ruby today, so that should be fun. Off to get a cuppa now. ~~~waves to all~~~ Lew Lew xxx

Good Morning Wattlers Not much to report from down under lol. Just mundane everyday stuff, but thats better than a lot of hassles. Antony got to talk to his Dad yesterday and when a few things get sorted out over here he is going to move over to Melbourne to his Dad for a while. Picked up my tickets to the car racing and it actually covers the 3 days, but we will only be going one as Tamika has to work on Saturday and Friday is only practice, but you never know I we might pop out just to have a look for a little while. ((( to Pam))) nice to see you pop in, Wattie is great company isnt he? Well better get moving as I have only had breakky and my shower, have to get grocery list ready and go pay some bills. ~~~~ to all ~~~~ Cheers Sue

What a life Mary, when you don't have your day already planned! .. I've never seen you up so early - even up before me!!!!! .. I think I have slept in every day since daylight saving started :((( I'm catching the sh sh train into the big smoke today - to look around for some (necessary) shoes. Have a good day all Jood
