so true jood, the kids and i are a big believers of all that. as a result i tend to live like there is tomorrow (coz i've spent all i had yesterday. lol) I saw the bit of cream that was left but the cat nicked it while we weren't looking. Narellen is not too far to come, although it was when the weather was bad. When uni is over i will come up there. promise. possum even laughed at me shying away from driving there before. work calls love yvette xxx

Fanny - Lara is still going up to the GC though - probably later - now I can't remember what for - oh yes, an army reunion. I only saved you a bit of cream and some sauce Fanny, - I ate all the rest :( .. You should have met us for lunch too, is Narellan too far away for you?? Thinking of you Flucky Suzy - what pickles do you want from me? - did you get the 4 of Trifley when Lyn was up there? Here is something to think about. As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. ..You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. .. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. .. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. .. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin. Jood

Morning, Just a quick message, got to be at the doctors in half and hour. Pam, if you manage to read, Neville and I are thinking of you and your family. Was wondering if i might need a brazillian for Mudgee, so I thought I had better send you all a pickle of one. Jil, hope Ron will be okay, doesn't sound very nice, but I don't see why the female of the species should have to have all the plumbing problems. Any one with photos to send, I have almost 200Mb to use by Tuesday so send away. I will be happy to receive them. Well, better get my skates on. Let you know how I went on this afternoon Love SuzyQ

i thought lara was going to the gc. it makes sense now. there would wanna be plenty of piccies in the mail. even scenic shots of cemetries on the way laurie. will they be aerial shots or from ze vehicle? great news jilli, sounds like something i would get done to my car though. anywhere would be nice. clouds are starting to come over, its not as hot at the line as it was earlier. i've filled the sink and one load of w is out.need a sit down i think. did you save any of that pecan for me jood? what are you actually going to do today? any pool?? or will you change your lightbulb? by the way have you all got pink front doors yet? yvette x

Morning Wattlers, hurrah hurrah, Ron's being allowed out of hospital today. He's going to have the op. next month, don't read this bit Tony it'll make your eyes water, he's going to have his prostate bored out. It'll be keyhole surgery so he will only be in for two nights three days. The doctors are amazed by his contitution it seem he was two or three days away from developing septisemia and he only felt ill after he was bitten about a dozen times by a bull ant, that was on Tuesday. He thought he was suffering side effects from the bites but he really had this urinary tract infection, good job I took him to the hospital. Be back later, luv Jillx

Fanny - I thought Lara was going down the coast, not up - she's supposed to be in attendance at the 1st Wattle Birthday in Melbourne - she was summonsed to attend by them who are higher up. Jood

long hot summer sounds absolutely nostalgic. easier to drink more water and do more p/a. cat, just sell all your things and apply for family reunion (wattle family of course) we'll all look after you. plenty of sisters , a bro and aunties and uncles for the kiddies. you can go to uni out here. aww fluff, i'm feeling for ya. i need to go to the rta too. car rego runs out monday. oops it comes around quick. better do the dishes and hang out the washing i suppose. h*******k isn't all its cut out to be. has lara gone up the coast yet? love Yvette x

Uhhhm Lew, - actually I think Laurie had further to drive than me .. lol .. it's all in fun though. Enjoy your day with the guests - and I hope it doesnt get toooo hot - it's starting to worry me, all this exceptional heat, and no rain getting out west. Jood

Morning all you lovely lady Wattlers (and Tony, morning to you too - Head of the Royal Harem). Welcome Bev, oops should I be addressing you by your royal title ~ Lady Macbev, even though we are old mates, nice to see you popping in from the weekender. Must up and away as some of us poor souls have to go to work!!! Have a good day. Lyn

Yes, Anna, I was there. .. Only one pic was taken, and that was my cousin (Laurie) snapping me about to eat a huuuuuuuuuuuuge pecan pie. .. I tried to push the plate in front of Shazz, but she wouldn't let me. .. The pickle hasn't surfaced yet, not sure if cuz is being kind, or has been too busy :( We had an enjoyable lunch and chat and lots of laughs, as always. I really started something when I said goodnight (I was serious too) - but it seems everyone came out of the woodwork after I left, and played up too (not mentioning names lol) Hooray, a day at home at last. .. I've been out every day this week. Have a great day all. Jood
