Anna, yes, I had a CRAFT moment, blame it on the hot weather lol Think I might have a beer myself tonight - a lite one. .. It will go down well in this weather. Cat & others, I resent my pecan pie, with some of the cream I left fof Fanny <she let the cat eat it :( > Jood

Blow me down with a blinking bootlace......... I just typed a long reply and I've lost it. Darn, darn darn. Haven't much time, so very quickly - Jood are you having senior moments???????? SuzyQ - take care and don't be tempted to take any home remedies from Mudgee. Jill - glad Ron is out of hospital - can I just say that men of a certain age are very prone to plumbing problems and rebores are very common! Hope the Wattler birthday party goes swimmingly. Have 5 girls staying here from Katherine's school - long story. They are entering a film 'shoot out' competition which goes over the whole weekend and they need to be together to work on it. Try to get back later after providing food, Mum's taxi etc etc. Love to all Anna

Ummm Jood I have two emails off you. One is blank and the second mentions pecan pie but there's no piccie lolol :-)))))

Jood pmsl :-))))))))))))))))))))))))

Cat - glad it wasnt you - I think you would have better manners .. lol The pecan pie was good - maybe I'll send a pickle of it without me in it .. ha ha By the way, who was it who got 15000??? <I've forgotten> Jood

Jude DIY - ya didn't tell us how your dad was, so I'm copying the msg over Just wanted to say thank you all for the kind the wishes re my Dad. He is ok, after the twisted bowel op 3 yrs ago he developed a hernia ( his stomach is the size of triplets) and its now pushing down on the water works and the bowel which then causes sciatica. Panic over. Just needs to drink more water and fibre! definitely a case of too many years of substituting beer for water! He says water is only for washing in lol. At 84 the risk of an op for hernia is too great -mind you he is still planning on playing bowls tomorrow. Jude you do know that the rest of us Wattlers will be crying on Sunday while you are celebrating OUR birthday lol .. Just not fair. Jood

Good morning everyone :-) Jood I hope you enjoyed that pecan pie. re cream........ wisny me *looks angelically innocent* Lew enjoy your day out with your guests. Yvette it's very tempting but I think the kids would have something to say if I sold everything pmsl ;-) *WARNING* One day I will come to Australia, don't know when but I'll be there hehehe ;-) Jill good news about Ron :-) SuzyQ sending get well wishes and (((((((hugs))))))). Hope you get better soon. ~~~~~~~MacBev~~~~~~~ nice to see you on here :-) DIY Jude enjoy the weekend :-) Ducky ((((((((hugs))))))))) for you, Mel and Ben. ~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~~ Catxx

Arvo Wattlers Jood just popped over to the other for a look, Trifley has had relos staying and is pooped. I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Wattlers for Sunday. We will toast you all - wish we could be all together but will have to wait until Feb at Mudgee. (((( hugs)))) for Pam if she looks in. fingers xxxxx for wattlelotto - that money angel had better work! lol Have a great weekend whatever you are doing, catch you all next Wednesday. xxxx Jude

It was Lyn, Suzy - but thanks for the website - I've snagged it. So sorry you have bronchitis, at least you are being treated for it now and can only get better. .. So, do as the doc says! .. lol. Yes, Trifley has been a bit quiet. Hate this hot unseasonal weather :( .. I promise I wont complain about the cold any more. Love Jood

Hi again, Well it's official, I have broncitis. Came home from the doctors with a big bag of medicine, not fancy colour ones, even the cough medicine is a clear liquid. No red juice for me. Hopefully I should feel better in about a week and then she wants me to go for a chest x-ray and an ultra sound on my abdomen. Don't ask why, think it is to check my liver and kidneys because of the diabetes. Laurie, that Robyn sure is thorough. So, you don't fancy a brazillian, it would be cooler is the hot weather. LOL I don't remember who it was with the dodgy microwave, was it you Vonny? May I suggest you take a look at a web site called www.notgoodenough (.) org. I had a lot of problems with a stove that I bought, after having 3 lots of new control knobs in the first 6 months I asked for a new stove. The makers, Chef, told me that was how they were and I had to put up with it. I went onto the website, left a message and they took up the cause for me. 10 days later I had a new stove. Now if I have any problems with goods, I tell them they can give me my money back, a replacement, or I will go on to notgoodenough. It is usually enough to get good service. Can we have a party on here for our first birthday, I will fetch the cheese and biscuits and a bottle of red. I think there are some streamers and party hats left over from last time. Lara, when you come up for the Army reunion to you get to the Kakoda Barracks at Canungra? We will try to get to meet you whilst you are here, a trip to Coolangatta would be a nice change for us. Trifley, where are you, are you okay. Going now, just chatting with Shazz Bye SuzyQ

Bev It will be a shame if you go from GR, as Jood said stay away from the other threads and stick with us, we are a great group Sandra

Don't go Bev. If you keep away from the other threads on GR you'll be ok. . We are almost up to our 15000th message., and the previous one we had got accidentally deleted. .. We do have a lot of fun. My daughter's grandmother's rellies (of this generation, and whom she's never met) come from that side. .. I'm meeting one for coffee, even tho I'm not related lol. Jood

Thank you Sandra. I may not be here for long as my sub is about to run out and I'm not sure I will renew -still thinking about it. In Victoria Park, Jood.

Afternoon Wattlers, Are you all cooking in the heat??. Laurie You will have to have a new title. Queen of the Mini meet. you must be the only one that has met almost everyone in the Wattle group.. Not fair I like birthday party's.lol how the time has flown since the first meet, and such a a great bunch of people. Fanny when you finish uni perhaps we could drive up to Narrellan together or somewhere and have a mini meet with Shazz/and Co. Welcome to the wafflers LadyMcBev. hope you call in often. Hows the Christmas shopping going? I am going to scite(spelling) I am almost done have only 1 3yr old to buy for plus a gift for a Barnodos child and I am done. Have a great weekend Laurie in Melbourne Last day of school holidays.... the shops will be quieter so will the neighbourhood. Hope all the sickies are feeling better. Cheers Sandra in the Gong

Bev - Born Nedlands, grew up in North Perth, and then when I married I was at Doubleview/Wembley Downs - where are you? I have been back to Perth every xmas for the past 5 years at least, and I have had to take warm clothes for that odd day! Jood

That's right,Jood. Weather here has been pretty mild to date -in fact, it is rather grey and overcast today - a showery week. Last year, I seem to recall in was pretty cool leading up to Christmas. Whereabouts in Perth did you grow up? Bev

gidday again Bev, I've seen you on that OTHER thread (the one I won't name) - so I feel I know you. .. Its just occurred to me you are the one from Perth (my home town) - I'm going back there for Chrissie. .. I was only just thinking about 20 minutes ago, geez, I hope its not exceptionally hot in Perth when I go over .. In fact I am hoping for some cooler weather before December. Didn't hear no fire bells Shazz - maybe the police sirens will be better - they're not far away either, nor are the ambulance, take your pick. You're very cheeky today young Shazz - you playing up coz ya can't go to the Wattlers birthday party ??? .. Not fair, is it? .. Nooooooooooooo, just not b******y fair at all, for all us poor peeps. Fanny - never turn ya back where food's concerned and the cat is there - I saved it speshilly for you too. Looking forward to seeing you at the next Narellan meet whenever that is. We gotta do one before xmas. Jood

Thanks for the welcome,Wattlers. Yes, it was pretty late when I looked in last night -but I've got used to the world being in bed before the sun has gone down here. Often gone past your door, but was a bit too shy to knock -took a confidence boost from somewhere else to get me started. Feel for those who are enduring awful fires again. Fingers crossed, they haven't broken out here in Perth yet. Don't know about a 'royal' title,Lyn...more on the lines of 'bloody hands, and a dagger before me' :-)
