Not really Tony. Last year we got a couple of days of snow but not much and more often than not when it does snow it usually happens just before or after christmas, not on the day itself. Scotland is probably your best bet for snow at christmas in the UK.

Julie. Does it snow much in winter where you are. Would love to see a White Christmas in the U.K. Think Christmas in Oz will be a scorcher this year....:>((( Tony Oz...:>))

Have to admit I prefer the warmer weather although not too hot but I also like the changing seasons cos I get bored with one type of weather all the time. I don't like it too cold though so Jan and Feb are my worse months cos christmas and new year are over and it seems cold and miserable then.

????......Sorry, i cant go to that Party...:>((( I'm going to Jude's one in Melbum......:>)))) ( hic ) Congratulation to Ray & laurie. A brand new two cylinder thrashin machine...GO THE BOYS....hee hee Tony Oz...:>))

Jude, I work on saving brownie points all the time . . . a girl never knows when she will need a good supply . . teeheee quickly closes page so TLR can't see what she's written L xo

Sorry...lol Both my daughters are in the UK at the moment so I knew winter was arriving, just cant help myself...I love the heat

Jude behave lol ;-) About two minutes after I woke up it was thundering and lightning here. It's stopped raining now but is damp and dismal. Oh well at least it means that christmas is coming :-)

~~~Cat it was about 30 degs today ...aren't you jealous?

~~~~~to Jude~~~~~~ Laurie congratulations on blue smurf bub :-)

Laurie, congrats for the new leaf on your tree.Are you saving brownie points for anything in particular?

It's all right Julie cat . . . I'm sure Barb will push fruit through the bars to him on the weekends . . . teehee Another new blue smurf bub in the family, Ray's neice has just given birth to Douglas Conway Armstrong, all 4.2 & 56 cm of him. Good thing I run a family tree or I would never be able to keep track of them all! Martooni's are ready for when TLR walks in the door (more brownie points for me) Catch you later luv Laurie

Jill. Best wishes for your boy, also. Hope everything turns out o'k. Mary. Hope you have a great time. Dunolly is such a beautiful town.Poulation i think is about 600?..... A far cry from the Gold rush era of the 1800s with a Population of about 35,000 miners The daddy of them all was the Welcome Stranger nugget unearthed at Bulldog Gully, in 1869 by John Deason and Richard Oates,containing 70kg of pure gold.Now Lara....thats what i call a 'hunka hunka'....never mind about Jood's fireies.....LOL Imagine finding something like that nowdays.....and if ya do Mary,........hee hee.....dont ferget ya mates. A kg of yellow stuff would go down really well right now. Dont know if the Anvil is still there, outside the museum, that they cut the nugget on, but we stopped there on our way to Tarnagulla to have a look at it a few years back now.Have a great walk with the detector, and hope you pick up a few 'beep beeps' under the ground. 'Thar still be gold in tham thar hills'...:>)))) Hope everyones had a nice day, and best wishes to all who are not feeling the best. Catch ya ron.

Jill I emailed Cilla and she said she'd let me know when she knows something so as I havn't heard since I guess she still doesn't know she said they have ruled OUT MS and her having had a small stroke so they are going to send her to the big smoke I think for tests. Thank you Mary but please don't use your precious time doing my stuff just enjoy you time although I am very grateful I hate to think you could be with John and doing your thing and finding a nice nugget or two. Gwenda if this is photos of your trip they are talking about I would really love to see them too mate.Also has anyone got photo of Jill please Laurie you sent me that one but she has her eyes closed thought someone might have one that she has them open. got to go folks here comes a sleep attack must be from alll the excercises I did in the pool today it was beautiful in there but now yawning my head off Love Lara

Afternoon all. Just returned from the 'sickies' and I'm glad to say they are a bit better today. Although Mia and her daddy aren't eating much and her daddy is doing a fair immitation of a scarecrow!! Health care nurse was there checking up on bubby and she got a big tick so D is very happy. D has also lost weight but she doesn't mind! - as long as she can feed bubby of course. Got to do some h......k around this place as it is a disaster area since the weekend away. Bye the bye, are the REST of us having a party too!!!! *gets ready to pout and chuck a tanty if we aren't* :) ~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

Hi everyone, I've just spent the last hour or so catching up, I should have made notes but was so interested in what I was reading I forgot, so now I have to try and remember things. Vonny I'm glad you had a lovely trip but so sorry about the accident to the car and lots of well wishes to your family I hope they are begining to improve. Heather I bet you are still talking non stop to your daughter, I got the impression she had a great time. Send me pickles please Gwenda if it's not to late, I'd love to see them. Great news Donna, If you see what I mean, you sounded so relieved, get well soon. Talking about results has anyone heard how Cilla is? SuzyQ I hope you are on the mend also, the aftermath of a cold can be just as bad as the cold itself. My silly boy has landed himself in hospital with a urinary tract infection. Suppose to come home today but his temperature keeps going up and down so he may be allowed out tomorrow. This is the fourth time he's had this infection so the doctor want's him to have his prostate sorted out, bit of a worry. Have to go as I'm off to the hospital again, will pop in when I can. love to you all, Jillx
