I'm off to bed too. These late nights are starting to get to me. See you all later. Trifley X X

MORNING FOLK !!! TIME TO WAKE UP - YOU'RE MISSING THE BEST PART OF THE DAY. Lol, sorry to shout, but I can't believe it's 8 am and I'm the first one to show my face on here. Where the bloody hell are you?

Lazy lot lolol I've been up for ages pmsl ;-)

I wuz up at 6 Rebs, but went back to bed, slept for another hour. Here's some info for you genie enthusiasts, its the names of towns in North Eastern Victoria, in the olden days .. if you have some abbreviations on your bdm certs, the town should be here. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~surreal/AVNE/Towns/towns.html .. Rebs. I would have stayed up, but Tony & Lara were singing, it was too much for me .. pmsl Love Jood

Joodles you are excused because you have to get lots of rest :-)

sorry Joodle Bella, I didna mean you. You're allowed to stay in bed. ~~waves to that Cat person~~

*waves back to Rebs*

Morning you crazy lot.. Joodles Stay in bed and you can use your lappy there.. Nice and warm..Stay warm and dont do anything today just rest..and chat to us .. Laurie I would be very happy to swap places on the lotto list with you.. You do come the week before me so I will cross you off and put my name for week 17/6 and you can have the 24/6 Thanks a lot as it will be a lot easier for me.. Loved your description of the tourist entertainment at the club..LOL Sounds like a good night out..and it didnt cost much, unless you ordered the lobster then Ray would not call it a cheap night out..hehehe Rebs. Glad to see you back in good form.. Keep it up . Wish I could get to the Qlnd meet but now not possible..bugger. Was hopeing to sneak in unnoticed and surprise you all...Never mind,, I will get to Mudgee...by hook or by crook... Must go and have a shower, back later.. Love Maryxx

Rebs - keep your knickers on............I've been out for my morning walk. I'd have been back sooner but left late as brother dear rang me to say he is off to America next weekend. Lucky sod. He's bought a mobile home - it's waiting over there for him and he's heading off towards Alaska. He's been there before and loved it. Half his luck. Meanwhile - back in good old suburban Toowoomba! I've put on yet another load of washing and still no luck. I know what you mean about getting OH in the machine SuzyQ. Mine hasn't been entirely co-operative either. It reminds me of that story about the cat going to sleep on top of the clothes in the drier and woman switching on the drier only to hear the cat yowling pitifully from inside. Poor pussy. Sounds like you had a fun night Laurie - and free floorshow to boot! We have a large Sudanese refugee population in Toowoowmba. Most of the poor women have only known camp life in Sudan before coming here and then they were taken directly from Brisbane airport to Toowoomba where many of them do not have cars and walk everywhere. The local refugee support group organised for a bus load of the Sudanese to go to Southbank in Brisbane so they could see the city sights. Well - they couldn't believe the high rise buildings and they just loved Kodak Beach at Southbank. Whipped up their sksirts and went in paddling. Along came a group of Japanese tourists and the Japanese men wanted photos of themselves taken with the tall Sudanese women. Lots of giggles all around. Glad you are taking it easy Joodles. I'll bet it is great being back in your own little nest. No place like home. I can well believe the horror stories about the public health system. Don't get me started. Bit worried about your sherry consumption Queen Trifley - and I'll bet you take it straight and not mixed with cake and jelly either! I can see I'll have to pour you into a taxi and get you home safely in Brisvegas as you gave that useless Nefer the weekend off. Waving to everyone at home and afar! Have a good one whatever it is you're doing! Luv Anna

Keep them on? And here I was thinking of going commando ! Shazz, speaking for myself, not a problem if your cousin and Clingon wants to come along. Just make sure they are well briefed on our pecularities first. Wouldn't want to scare them off.lol ! If Blackjacks opens at 11.30 for business. I'm thinking we meet around around 11 at Sth Brisbane Station. It's closer to the ferry terminal for those attempting to walk in limo shoes for the first time in ages...........namely me !!! If anyones train times don't fit in with this can they let me know please. Cheers, Rebs x

LOL Night night :-)

Good Morning Wafflers, It's cccccold here this morning, the sun hasn't got through yet. Tony, I was going to put my hand up but Laurie beat me to it. Joodles, stay in bed, or on the sofa, by the fire wrapped in a nice warm rug. Trifley should send nefer down to you, to take care of all your needs, hot chocolate, chicken soup etc LOL. Hi Shaz, I don't mind if your cousin comes to Brissie, but I thought it was a day thing that may spread into night. Devily, sending positive thoughts to your MIL, it's is a worrying time for you, so you must also stay positive. Thanks for all the Wattle club updates, still need a few more to complete it, but some members are just like ships that pass in the night. Julie Cat, if you would like a list please send me your email addy and your birthday and where in the UK you are. Year of birth not necessary. Well, it's back to h*******k for a while, visitor coming soon. Luv SuzyQ

Hi all again, Dont worry about me Suzy - I'll be alternating between bed and sitting here, (where its warm) I have been told to sit up a lot, helps the coughing. .. So here I am waiting for you lot to entertain me ???? pmsl Tassie. so sorry to hear about your ex mil, and hope she improves. .. Ex mil's are still family as far as I am concerned, I used to ring mine frequently before she passed. Laurie, pity you couldnt have taken a video of the little Japanese dancers .. were they funny? or did they dance different to us? .. Please explain pml Yes, I thought it was a lunch that kinda might drag on to the small wee hours (in Brissie I mean). .. I should rephrase that .. 'that kinda WILL drag on to the small wee hours'. .. Mary what a pity you cant go. .. I am going to be the first to say slow down mate .. you are going too fast. .. Live life in the slow lane. .. You are here, there, everywhere, in the garden, down in Canberra, up north somewhere and now you are off again *gets down off soapbox* .. <ooer, bit wobbly> Think I've had my say! Jood

Daughter who is puppysitting got up about an hour ago and has now gone shopping leaving you know who with a great lumbering shadow. He is so big and ugly but what a smoocher. Sits beside me wherever Iam is on my feet at the moment. Daughter is in for a surprise when she gets back, you should see the back porch where hes been playing....he he he Doing some copying for aGR relli today, found some great photos of her family in the library yesterday and some info I didnt know about some if mine. Amazing how little bits come to you when you least expect them. Have a good day, I'll be back as Arnie says...lol Jude2

Forgot to say 'keep warm' Joodles How exciting Lew, is Terry ready to spend the day shifting things again and again...lol

Hi everyone, SIX pages wow I'said to myself they don't arf talk a lot, thats my cockney comming out, glad you're home Joodles look after yourself. Can someone please explain to me the washing powder joke, we don't watch commercial tv that much so If it's an ad I haven't seen it, it does sound funny though. My daughter had her first professional driving lesson this morning, it went well,she's thirtysix now, she missed out learning when she was younger as she ran away from home when she was sixteen got into bad company and ended up a drug addict, got herself on the methadone programe and then got off that, she's been clean as they say for eight years, I really admire her strength, we were always there for her but she had to do it for herself, I'm waffleing on now, will stop, but I think what I'm tryng to say is that if any one out there has that sort of a problem never give up hope. okay thats it said my bit, thanks for listening Jill

Jill I do admire your daughter as it cant have been easy to go through what she has and come out so well.. I do hope she gets her licence and it will give her a new independance which is good..You can Waffle as much as you want on here as we are all here for each other and we all have had children and know it isnt easy sometimes..Despite that we still love them..Saw a sticker on a big 4WD way out west and I had a good laugh.. It said.. We are spenking the kids inheritance and then going to live with them and be as big a pain in the A... as they were to us..Our kids kept saying every time we went away in our caravan we were going on a ski holiday...Spending the kids inheritance... Told them what made them think there was a inheritance..to leave..LOL Joodles.. Life is rather busy at the moment. Just dont seem to get anywhere sometimes.. Busy getting the house ready for sale for when a nice unit comes available, plus babysitting the Gkids plus John is not so good at the moment and has to go back to the physio so it is all keeping me busy.. Well must away so back later Love Maryxxx
