And a Hap, Hap, Happy afternon to all the Wafflers Hi Jill......I've sent you a PM about the washing machine. I hope your daughter does well with her driving lesson. How ya going Joodles? Now deep breaths.....fill those lungs up ....and exhale! That's the way! Healing thoughts on their way. Hi Devley...how's your MIL? Give her a big hug from Nefer...that'll cheer her up pmsl. Rebs....you seem in good spirts today. Is it because we only have 14 sleeps to Brisvegas? We might have to walk around inside the casino a little after lunch so we have enough room for dinner. Or you could lead us in an Irish jig.....that'd certainly move lunch along pmsl. Mark has a mate who plays in a band there a couple of times a month. So there might be music for me to sing along with :o) Hi Shaz......Robina shopping town is medium sized. Nowhere as big as Pacific Fair but still a good size. It has DJ's, Kmart, TARGET, Coles, Woolies, Howards storage world, Pillow Talk, a few little home decorating boutique shops, a candle stall (made on the GC), lots of shoe shops, clothing stores, jewellery stores, Crazy Clarks and quite a few coffee shops. It's not hard to spend a couple of hours window shopping and drinking coffee. Two things I love. I'm sure you'll be able to find somewhere to work off your retail therapy. Hi Cat... I watched a programme about the Chelsea flower show last night. It looks fantastic. If you like flowers you should try to go next year. Lew Lew...hooray about the furniture! Now you'll have something to sit on...yippee. Any more gossip about the X and the saga of the lost kids? Has Terry told his kids they have a half brother and sister? Doncha just love it when Karma comes back to bite someone, like her, on the bum? Jessie, the dog, is getting restless so I'd better take her for a walk. Be back later. Trifley X X

14 sleeps to go.......... Trifley you worry me sometimes................!!! *wonders if straight jackets come in 'one size fits all' *

Wow its afternoon already (I just woke up a while ago) .. Just noticed top right hand corner it says 'NEW Records' .. Uhm I just dumb and never looked before, or is it in fact new? .. Doubt I'll find anything, but will have a peek, amuse myself for a while. Jood

Hello all, Tony did you know we won mate hehehe, I did join in the song sang it at the end of the game turned tele up so Tiger who had spat the dummy and gone to bed could hear and then sang it with the boys too. Joodles glad you are home and resting stay warm and don't go doing anything silly like going out in the cold or too strenuous spell hugs (((((J))))) Jill-Jill give your daughter a big hug too she deserves it and please know we all are here for each other , do hope she gets her licence. If you havn't had the an email explaining the washing machine yet send me your email addie thru genes pm's and I will send it to you . Julie Cat, Lamb would be good our friends had one for their back yard of house they were renting and they had a barbie when they all moving on and we were standing there hoeing into the meat that was barbecued and someone asked what had happened to their lamb and they all started laughing we were eating him poor little lambkin , but he was delicious . Trifley what sort of sherry do royal persons partake of please just in case one such peep ever comes to my humble abode it would be nice to know ??? Vanessa lots of info and leads lucky duck good one Laurie Now Laurie ........ Goes of into messy files to see what Laurie can do with them I need help don't know what to blame here is it age, tablets, child or just this crazy woman , but I'm making myself a wreck trying to make head and tail of my files etc I start on one lot and end up doing some thing else entirely . I'm trying to get them all sorted so as I can take them away and work on them while away from the stress here I'm sure trying to do too much at once like pack to go away for 3months two lots of clothes needed warm till we get up far nth and then the summer clothes having put on nearly two stone since being home doesn't help having to try all the clothes on before packing or will be running around naked as lots don't fit oh oh story of my life . Tiger well he says just pack me a black singlet and stubbies she'll be right and won't go and get some new shorts for golf he says what he has will do and they are falling apart from being washed so many times made a boo boo and got him bone coloured shorts and he is a grot comes home and says those shorts will do tomorrow and when I pick them up of the floor they have dirty hand marks all over them why would you use your golf towel when your shorts will do UUUURRRGH. Anyway peeps no new news re my locket , man who was going to help me with my Henry Ward has disappeared of the face of the earth and no more on my dippy ODay's, so now I'm going to concentrate on Wilsons and McEwens for a while and see what I can find one thing I did find out was that Braidwood where a lot of my NSW peeps lived was a gold area which I didn't know before , I guess if you live in Sydney or NSW you knew this , also Laurie have learned a lot about Sir Henry from this book on Quong Tart a lot of the book is also about dear Sir Henry , although nothing in there that will help me solve the puzzle re the locket , but found Margeret Scarlett who married Quong Tart was disowned by her family for marrying him so she was a brave lady ok going off to do some research now that will maybe sort some of my files out for me love to all and hello to all havn't mentioned Lara

Hello Joodles - glad you had a good rest. Just had a look at that new records section. You have to buy credits - $10.00 for 50 credits that expire in 7 days! Funny - I hadn't seen anything on the site previously about that new facility. Passing strange methinks. Anna

Jill....let me know if Nefer's brother arrives ok. Lara....the sherry is Mildara Wines....Autumn Brown, sweet sherry. Has been around for yonks but not every liqour store carries it. 3months and 3 weeks to drink 9 bottles.....I don't think that's too bad. That works out to about 65 mls a day. I think I did well to make it last that long :o) Coffee time! Be back later Trifley X

Yes, Anna, I might have known there was a catch in it. .. I didnt really need the info .. was just typing in my grandfathers name for his marriage (which I know). .. No information there anyway. .. Why do we have to pay for all this info ..... grrrrrrr (not certificates, that is understandable) Lara, I am intriqued by your Wilsons from NSW. .. Even tho I wasnt born here, I do know some of the gold mining towns .. can I help you with anything? Hope the Ber-rocca worked Tony .. Manys the time I have resorted to that as a last resort, but not in recent years. Trifley I prefer cream sherry myself .. yum. I remember when I was about 14-15 my girlfriend and I raided my parents liquor cupboard, and drank nutty brown sherry ... ugh .... obviously my liquor tastes weren't very discerning. Jood

Hi Joodles I don' t think you can help me Jood as I am trying to find William Wilsons death and his wife was Margaret Wilson nee McEwen I ahve been able to work out there dates of being born both of them from Emma Wilson's Daughters birth cert that I have but there are so many William Wilsons born about the same time and I dont know his parents names so can't use that and same with Margarte as she was born in Sterling Scotland I havn't her birth details but do know it was 1830/32 and don't know her parents names either . I'm going into Marbract now on the net and getting their marriage cerificate sent to see if it helps me at all with names of parents then I can get their deaths which will tell me hopefully the names of Emma's siblings , please let me know if you think I can do any other way please . Thanks for the offer but don't you going too much ok love Lara

Hello, Hello, where are you. cooooeeee. Are you hiding. Mmmmm. Trifley must be into the sherry, Lew is trying out new furniture, Tony celebrating pies win, Laurie watching giraffes, probably with glass in hand, Joodles, she is resting. Jill giving driving lessons, Sue visiting MIL. Maybe some are actually doing FH. Ah well, continue talking to myself SuzyQ walking off muttering to herself.

Hiya Suzy, I'm trawling Ancestry and going around in circles. lol !!!

Hi SuzyQ Just dashing past the puta - am in the middle of ferrying darling daughter around - pick up from work, to the shop to buy hair dye(blueberry do you mind - I said wouldn't it be better to wait until after your school's open day tomorrw? No Mum, my hair looks daggy. It doesn't matter about open day.) I've just dropped her off at the music teacher's who is accompanying Katherine for her music exam on Monday, and before I have time to turn around, it will be time to pick her up again.! You know the story. Catch you later XX Anna

two really good excuses. Rebs, I let my sub to Ancestry go for a while but I am getting with drawal. Once I eventually finish all the filing and checking of my records there will be no holding me back. I have a couple of certificates to send for this week, I can't get any further until I do. Did you get a new outfit yet for your wedding, (not your wedding ) you know what I mean. Whats the shopping like at DFO? SuzyQ

Hi SuzyQ, Rebs, Anna......I've spent fruitless hours trolling sites and all I get is confused. I think I might just spend some time on my tree programme and tidy it up a bit. I am worried a little about this CMOS battery going a**e up. I'll have to ring my friendly computer geek and find out how involved it is to change......bugger. Maybe coffee will help. ~~~waves Trifley X

Hi Trifley, what is the CMOS battery? I think I must be a dumb, first it's scuffs now it's CMOS. I do lead a very sheltered life, you are all leading me astray.

Well Iv'e been out playin footy with the kids in the street......... and the old black bull he aint what he used ta be......aint what he used ta be....aint what he used ta be.......The old black bull he aint what he used ta be,many long years agooooo.. Ooooowah..me aching back....lol Thought I'm much safer in here playing with me dead people...hee hee ( plus i kicked the Footy on someones roof ) and then called out..... RUN AWAY......:>)) Time for a V.B tablet...cos I'm puffed. Old Tony Oz...:>))) ps.Trifley.....has Neffer got a sister?...:>))

I got no idea what a CMOS battery is either but as I thought, its the laptop battery, but why oh why arent you running it on elecky????????? You poor sheltered thing Sylvia ... I think bumsoddy has already told you scuffs are slipons, like thongs (on ya feet, not elsewhere !) *Wonders idly what colour blueberry hair is - omg! lol* Wish I had your energy mate (Tony) .. trust you to run away when the ball went on someones roof .. pmsl Jood

I have just been educating myself about CMOS. Very intersting, has yours slowed down or is it putting out too much power. My highly retentive brain has absorbed all the information I will ever need to know about CMOS. IE take it to the repair shop. SuzyQ

Joodle's ya should av seen me ..mate. I took a screamer over the pack...... .....of 9 year olds.....lol Tony Oz...:>))

Wooda been a goal I'm sure Tony mate. .. Bet in your eyes you were kicking a goal for ... who is it ... the pies?????? Aggggggggggh dreams!!!! Jood

Hi Trifley, Just google CMOS battery. It tells you how to fit them and where to by them. Cost around $10.00 Maybe $20.00
