1.40am Qld time - Katherine is just home from Big Day Out. She had a great time - experienced the Mosh Pit and they had to crowd surf her out because she was feeling too crushed. Anyhow - she's home safe so I won't dwell on that! Time to turn off the puter for the night. XX Anna

Evening all . . . Just in from the Printheth on the ice . . . (her reply to my question if she was hanging out with Printheth Anne) Of course, this is where all the princesses hang out. Having a great time. Have landed on the Antarctic and even went into Mawson's Hut. Truly amazing. Love to All the Wattlers xxx We didn't get finished at the office untill about 5pm . . . so another long day of manual labour. The office really looks good though, the colours his nibs chose are a burgundy (he calls it his QLD maroon colour) and a 'silver illusion' look really good together but a real pain cutting in the two colours. I am the one with the sore legs from climbing up the ladder to cut in and then crouching down on the floor to do around the skirting boards. We heard on the radio coming back here that two young lads had gone missing out in the bay, swimming from Dolls Point. Not sure what the outcome was, but from what we could see it didn't look like good news. I ducked up to Coles to get a chook for dinner . . . but they didn't have any, so we just had to make do with a crayfish and some prawns . . we deserved it after the weekend we just put in. Great to see you back online Suzy Q and Yvette . . missed you both. Lovely pickles thanks JA, Vonny & Mary . . looks like you have all had a good time. Boat is spectacular Vonny . . . well done. No good you both being ill Flakey . . . think I will have to report Tony to the doctor for handing out the wrong pills. Get better soon . . . drink plenty of water !!! Of course to wash the coloured pills down. Glad your getting some cooler weather Jood . . . hellish hot up here today, just the odd little breeze coming thru now. The weekend worth of H/wk had piled up so have been trying to work my way thru it this evening, just a little more to do before I turn in - better than waking up to it in the morning. Catch you all tomorrow luv Laurie

Night all, I'm off to bed also, Lara darling, sounds so drastic this detoxing, try green tea as well as the water, very good for you, but take it slowly the diet not the tea, lol, oh well you can drink the tea slowly if you like. Yeah!, SuzyQ and Yvette are back, now all we need is the Fluffy One, luv Jillx

good evening lovely friends sending my love to you all before I hit the sack, nite, Yvette xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Wattlers, Jood, Wilson just letting you know I wont be there tomorrow. Roy and I have both got the dreaded lurgy and have not been at all well for 3 days. In 32yrs of marriage I have never known Roy to come home from work ill orgo in late because of illness. Hoefully we are now on the mend as we both need to be on deck this week to finalise paperwork for the sale. Havent read back so hope everyone else is ok Ducky you back yet???? Flakey

OH Lara Just saw you new name,,pmsl...know how you feel,,, I think it is a good idea to lose some weight and I need it to,butter,, it just dosent want to move.I hope you are not doing it to fast, as they say the quicker you take it off the quicker it comes back,, I have found that weight watchers the best and most sensible and not so drastic..go walking and caddy for Tiger,,well we are not that drastic..but exercise is a great way to help it along..as long as you dont go to sleep inthe middle of it... Big hug for you and hope you are feeling better soon..Elle watch out,,Lara is on her way,,, Love Mary xxxx

Evening All, Looking forward to meeting up with whoever makes it to Bendigo tomorrow. I know at least Jood and myself will be there. Lara...sounds a bit drastic.... take care. we loves ya just the way you are. Very tired tonight, have had son and partner, daughter and husband, and grandson all visiting this weekend. Seems like i have hardly left the kitchen. m, i, l came for morning tea as well this morn, so more cooking :-))....good job i'me not dieting lol. Lovely to have them all though, and can't wait until we can all get together again. Take care, Wilson, off for an early night

Congrats JA Anna - lots of single Irish women came out to South Australia from the 1850's onwards. My greatgrandma on my Dad's side was one who arrived in 1856/57 - unfortunately I couldn't find her name on any of the shipping fiche at the National Library even tho I did find quite a few ships full of single Irish women. Lots of these women settled in Mt. Barker and there was some opposition at the time of bringing out predominately Catholic women. According to my Bound for SA CD which covers Births & Deaths on government-assisted immigrant ships 1848-1885 Hydrabad departed Plymouth 25/12/1877 arriving Pt Adelaide 15/2/1878. Emigrants embarking were 407 - including 97 children & infants, 221 English, 30 Scots, 98 Irish and 9 German. There were 8 deaths & 2 births on board. Unfortunately the passenger lists after 1851 are still to be transcribed so if you can find the fiche hopefully you will find Chris' relative. SuzyQ - nice to see you pop in - glad we can make you feel better. Hope there is some action with the roo removal. Yvette - glad the wedding lifted your spirits - you was missed too Lara - take care detoxing - sounds quite severe - I did the 15 day detox last year so have some idea of what you are going through but not as bad. 2nd week I had to eat more normal food as I was so over the vegies every day and only fish on alternate days to give a bit of variety. Mary - glad you had a great night out - would love to see some piccles. Vonny - glad the launch went well - thanks for piccles. Dave went to Dr. and has to see a physio and has some exercizes to do to help - that's what happens when you get old apparently - he's not happy -lol Ducky - thinking of you (((((hugs))))) ~~~~~~~~~~to everyone not mentioned. Lots of dark clouds here and a bit of rain earlier apparently - hope there's more for everyone - we all need it Gwenda

Just a note to let you know Mary and Suzy Q I am being closely monitored by the Dr she said the same as Cassie it is the body withdrawing from coffee etc and getting rid of toxins that makes you feel shocking but it only lasts at the most one week (I know what she means by then cause I will be mort) I reckon, but as she said to stay like like I am is twice as dangerous I am a heart attack looking for somewhere to happen ora stroke I am so over weight tried to tell her just short for me weight but she wouldn't listen, so my friends you will get to meet the real me cause this sheila you know now is cover underneath is the real me It will be a bloody shock for me too havn't seen the real me for 25 years so that will be worth it all if this stuff actually works ,and its not going to be drastic weight loss as I have 50 kilos to loseso it a special diet only for those very obese peeps Mary,and the only urgency is for me to get motivated I think and if this doesn't do it it will be sugery I think ,so sick of it and its so dangerous with my mum and dad both having heart trouble Dad had four bypasses and Mum five so really need to get rid of it now thanks for thinking of me though and give my love to John too bye for now back to bed just feel so weak love to all Lara

Afternoon Wattlers Mary wow what a view from your motel room. Only saw part of Schools performance on ABC TV turned it on to watch the Rod Stewart Concert and the Schools one was still going.

Get Neville to tie a rope on the roo and tow it down to the illegal airport and let them have it.. Soon get rid of them,,lol How are my menapausal chooks.. are they laying again...big hug,,xx Lara What is the drastic rush to get rid of your weight ,, It is better to do it gradually and much safer to,,do take care and look after yourself.. How is Tiger,,is he home yet.. Joodle Are you finding it hot down there in Mexico,,Have you been to the Water Wheel Winery,,???? Hope everything has settled down and people are back to normal and no more dramas.. Laurie Still painting..????? Happy hour so back later.. Love Mary xxxxxxx
