Morning Rebs. Boy, you lot went to town yesterday, I've partly caught up, but think I'll just have to skim over the rest. Furniture is wonderful. Nothing but the best for the Mudgee Meet, lol. Rug arrives on Thursday, so photos will be posted after that. Jolly cold here this morning. Jood, you'd better stay rugged up. It's still a bit frosty. Might have to put the air con on! Well, after today, it's only 3 mondays, yippeeeee. Lew Lew - The Furniture Queen 32 sleeps!!!!

Good Morning Waffling Wattlers - some of you certainly lived up to the name on the weekend! Cool here by Botany Bay as well this morning, but the sun is out, trying to push its way through the haze. A ship is making its way through the heads, headed for the docks where 6 giraffes have their heads up, and one ship is preparing to leave! My balcony is looking like a Chinese laundry, with winter woolies stretched out on table and chairs - hope I picked the right day to wash them! Glad everything is coming together for you in the nest Lew, let us know which 'housy' mag to look for the spread in !! Your number on the countdown is getting exciting . . . Von where is your countdown ????? I must have missed it !!!! Will drop in and catch up later in the day - the lovely Ray has left me with a list of things to do for him today so going to be busy for a while. Hope you all have a good one! cheers luv Laurie

*Vonny sneaks in* I'm trying for a countdown Laurie, honest. Spent all weekend reading my Lonely Planet guide to Thailand :) On a serious note. have any of you got an email / petition about Jon Venables and Robert Thompson (the Jamie Bulger murderers) being given new identies and sent to Australia???? I received one over the weekend. I remember something being said about this possibility on general quite a while ago but I have forgotten the time frame. I have checked Symantec Hoaxs and it doesn't appear to be listed as a hoax. Usually I don't go near these petitions as I cannot exactly see what good the email types do. Anyone know if it is true? back later this arvo Vonny

Hi everyone, bright and sunny here in Ippy, I did read ages ago that they were planning to send those two boys to Australia so it could be true. Jill

Another tired old email doing the rounds Vonny .. http://www.hoax-slayer.com/jamie-bulger-email-petition.html .. sorry .. I didnt get a copy myself, but checked it out for you. .. I cant get the whole address to print out .. here it is again (hopefully) http://www.hoax-slayer.com/jamie-bulger-email-petition.htm no, it wont come out properly - I will try one last time. http://www. hoax-slayer. com/jamie-bulger-email-petition. html Jood

Ta Joodles, I expected as much and have put your hoax -slayers in my favourites. catch you later :) ~~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

Hi All Have been busy doing early spring cleaning. I know it isnt even winter but our landlord is making noises about selling the house again and I want to sort some of the things out that we dont use and throw out so we are moving less stuff. Ex mil is coming along ok. She is starting to get p***ed off with the dr's, so she must be feeling better. Thankyou for all your kind thoughts. It is freezing here today, a real cold southerly breeze blowing, but no rain. Jill Glad to see your daughter is getting her life together. As you said yoou was always there for her but she did have to do it for herself and have the willpower to go through it, which obviously she did. Hope she goes well with getting her drivers licence. Mary lol about the inheritances and parents going on ski holidays. I just dropped my parents at the airport for a 2 week holiday going to Cairns, while their they are going on the Skyrail train experience, then down to Airlie Beach and the Great Barrier Reef, Brisbane and Melbourne, when they was organising the trip they was debating on what to see and we told them not to worry how much it cost as they was only Skiing lol. I hope John starts improving soon. Have you spotted any units you like yet? Anna, hope Katherine went well in her exam. An early happy birthday wish to Chris. Laurie, heard on the news over here that the Spirit of Tas might be pulled from the Sydney run as its loosing too much money, that will be one less ship to watch for you. I stood out on my veranda and watched my Mum and Dad plane take off and head for Sydney, they are due in Sydney at 2.55 so you may see the Virgin plane go past if you are watching. They only have about an 35 mins in Sydney before they take off for Cairns. Lew you must be really happy that the house is nearly finished, with furniture and all, look forward to the pics. Hi to everyone I havent mentioned. Catch you all after. Cheers Sue

Hi Mary, I am here, didn't leave a message, thought that I would wait until some one appeared. Glad that you had a nice lunch, is it raining in Sydnet today. Once again the sun is shining here. If only we could get a few rainy days together. We shouldn't complain, it would be worse if we got earth quakes and volcanos. Catch uplater, like you I am looking for dead peeps but now getting far. SuzyQ

hehehe !! I've been naughty !!! 1pm - phone rings........... nice Indian man on the other end 'Hellooo, ees Meeses Plant dere pleese?' Rebs - 'no I'm sorry, this is the Pot house.' Nice Indian man - 'I would like to speek weeth Meeses Plant.' Rebs - 'sorry, that person does not live here.' Nice Indian Man - 'Ees dis 3855 **** ?' Rebs - 'Yes, but this is Bill and Bens house.' (didn't dare mention Little Weed) Nice Indian Man - 'I would like to speek weeth dee owner of dis number.' Rebs - 'Please wait, I'll get them for you................' 1 1/2 hours later I hear this rapid beep, beep, beep, beep. I'd forgotten about the poor bugger. Guess he eventually needed to go and pee or something, cos he hung up. pmsl !!!

Rebs pmsl. Just what they deserve. I am guessing you were having lunch at the time. Thats what we should all do, leaving them hanging on. I will be glad when we can have these calls blocked. Have we got final numbes for the meet. Also where are we to meet. I am catching the train at beelleigh and can go to Sth Brisbane or South bank. And what time are we meeting, not too early I hope? I need time to put on the war paint. SuzyQ

Devly . . . think that was Mum & Dads plane that just landed . . 35mins they will only have enough time to take a deep breathe! That is sad if they take the ferry off - but I guess if its not making them any money . . watched it go past the heads yesterday afternoon actually, Ray always says we must do that one day! OK peeps . . make sure you tell all your friends to tick the box on the census form this year to say they agree to the info being retained and made public in 100years time . . . show them all a census image from UK, so they know how handy it is for researching, and how 100years is long enough not to be invasive. Not going to help any of us - but still should be done !!! Off to put some more veges in the loop-da-loop pot! cheers luv Laurie

Well done Rebs . . . luv it . . . we have a few little things we do to the nice little Indian man too - ***speak Indonesian to him (even though we aren't fluent he doesn't know that - so just say a whole lot of words we do know that make no sense) ***ask him to call me back on another number and give him number for the Premiers Dept. Ray was going to make up a list of numbers but hasn't got to it yet only have Premiers Dept by the phone ***after you say beg your pardon about 10 times he says thank you and hangs up Back to the loop luv Laurie

Laurie, yes I didnt think it was much time neither, but they left me their itinery from the travel agent, and it had the times on that, I suppose they wont have to worry about luggage just gettting from one plane to the other, unless it is the same plane and they are only stopping to refuell and take on more passengers??? It is sad for the spirit, maybe they can get one of the ships on the Devonport Melbourne run to do just one return trip a week to Sydney instead of having the three ships. What type of soup you having tonight? Rebs I also say to those pesky telemarketers sorry cant understand you and hang up. Yes I cant wait for the registry to start so we can block the calls. Cheers Sue

Sometimes I hate this site....I've just lost the post...bugger! Anyway lets try again. Afternoon Wafflers. It was a bit chilly here last night. I think autumn has come to Qld at last. Had to put on a shirt this morning, brrrrrrr. I'll have to re-think my wardrobe for Brisvegas. Joodles....are you resting? Now your exercise for the day. Take a deep breath, that's it....fill those lungs! Now hold that untill I tell you to exhale. Hi Laurie....where did you get those drawings of me pmsl? It was looking in a mirror when I saw the email. And I loved the badges. If I can find some one who makes them I'd love to get some. I'm at the stage of my life that very few people are big enough between the head-lights to bother me. (cleaned that up a bit hee hee). Anna...how did Katherine go with the exam? Early happy birthday hugs to Chris. Lew Lew...will we see Mudgee Manor in Beautiful Homes of the Retired? Not long to go now. Hi Vonny..how long to the big trip? It should be a good time....the humidity should be lower. Rebs...yooo hooo...how's things? I'll be good in Brisvegas. Graeme has started me on the hypno-therapy. 'I will not misbehave, I will not misbehave, I will misbehave.' Ooops, sorry. Missed a 'not' in there somewhere pmsl. I spoke to my puta geek this morning. He has the utmost faith in my ability to change the CMOS battery. Graeme's comment was....'Oh, sh*t'. Mark is off tomorrow so we are going to attack the beast then. If you don't hear from me after tonight, it will be because I've stuffed it up. Heading off now to do some more tweeking to Graems spread-sheet. And get some more coffee. 'Byeeee Love Trifley PS JOODLES.....breath OUT. pmsl.

Good afternoon Wattlers, Spent last few hours ironing - don't bother sending yours Laurie - I still have some from last week to catch up on. Have new friend who doesn't seem to want to go home - trouble when you start feeding cats from next door - such a friendly little girl she is - my 2 boys take no notice although Ginger seems a bit put out - would have thought he'd like some female companionship - obviously the snip has brought on a lack of interest - lol Vonny - only one of the Bulger killers was sent to Oz - the other one has just fathered a child in Britain somewhere - poor girl involved doesn't know his past Sue - hope your Mum & Dad have a lovely holiday. Glad ex-m-i-l is making progress. Mary - hope you're able to find a nice unit soon so you can go ahead with the sale. Rebs - I did that one night - wouldn't take no for an answer so I just put phone down went back to dishes and cooking tea and when I was ready to eat went back to phone & hung up - he was long gone. Now I let answering machine deal with any calls that come up 'private call'. Well back to more ironing - would rather do some FH but better look like I have been really busy - pmsl Have a great rest of the day peeps, catch y'all later Gwenda
