Hi everyone, glad to see you back in one piece Wilson, was wondering if we should send out a search party around the wineries? Rebs, I'm here, just trying to get some extra work done in the office cause I'm off to Tassie next week with my Scottish friend....we're going to have mini-meet with Sue. Lew Lew, dont you know cooking is bad for you? I avoid it as often as possible...lol Jude2

Yes, I know cooking is bad, so that's why I had a blasted salad!!! I can see it now 'Come One, Come All, to Lew Lew's Sizzler Salad Bar. See how many she can knock down with her special italian salad'! Welcome to Lynda and watch out for the one's who get sent to the naughty corner. lol. They've had way too much baileys and cake! Hope everybody has a great afternoon. I'm having a gentle yoghurt for lunch (and, no, I didn't prepare it myself) Lew Lew xxx

Poor Lew Lew, never mind hubby will be home soon and you can tell him how sick you've been. Then you can let him make up for not being here to suffer with you...lol

Lunch time all :) Crew - something you ate in the naughty corner no doubt!! lol Lynda, don't even think of being naughty that corner is disgustingly dirty! I know this is terribly obvious, but does everyone know that on General you can choose between View All Threads (default model) and View Your Threads Only? In View Your Threads, you can see every thread you have ever contributed to, but only those threads. Makes them easier to find. (but not if Lara has deleted any LOL) sorry Lara :) Just thought I might mention this incase the unthinkable happens and your Favourites folder goes missing for some reason. Beautiful day today. On the weekend I am going to Sydney to Rookwood cemetry for a 'meet the rellies' around great grandfather's grave :) Should be fun. I think hubby is coming with me - not sure. ~~~~~~~~ to all, Vonny

Afternoon Wattlers Been busy this morning with walking, going to the city to do a couple of things, then grocery shopping, time has gone no where. So I thought I had better pop in to say hi and check up on everyone. We are probably lucky that we dont have sizzers here, we used to have 2 one in the North and one down south but they closed up and left, dont know why as they was always busy. Then the scare in Preston Vic. with the air conditioners, where the elderly man died, cant for the life of me think what it is called, having one of those CRAFT moments, Also poor Lew poisoning herself, wonder what she would do to her enemies lol. We have got Dannielles birthday tomorrow she will be 12 years old, and thinks she is older like most children these days. I won a couple of tickets on the radio the other day and so they are going to a concert called MS Fest, it is for raising money for MS. I found out after I got the tickets that it doesnt finish til midnight, it starts at noon. I informed the girls that I didnt think they should be there til the end on their own. Tamika, my other girl is 14, they didnt like the idea much but thats life. Looking forward to Meeting Jude 2 next week. Ooh that will make 2 that I have met :-) I just heard the news that poor Thorpe may not get to the games with this illness he has, I hope he isnt the 'Tender' in the Naughty corner, with all the goings on with you naughty girls pmsl. I nearly forgot to mention we are in P.B. mode over here at the moment ........ Political B ull***t as an election is on in 2 weeks. So we have our letterboxes full of promises, promises and more promises, the radio and TV are the same, it would be alright if they kept some of the promises ha ha. Although it is the second day of Autumn the weather is still quite warm, beautiful sunny days and tems in the mid 20.s are forcast til at least Monday. I am really starting to enjoy my walks as some of the Maple leaves have already started changing colour, I love autumn colours, Browns and Golds :-))) Well with that I am going to disappear. Catch you after Sue

Hi Wattlers, Just wondering what Laurie might be doing now. Think she flies out of Singapore today, if I remember and on to Cologne in Germany. I went to Cologne with the school. Its a lovely city and smells of 4711 eau de cologne. We went up to the top of the cathedral and the view over the city is wonderful. Got a bit dizzy getting to the top as it is a spiral staircase. Good to have you back Wilson, glad you enjoyed your holiday. Welcome Lynn, I am in South East Queensland, behind the Gold Coast. Wonder what happened to Cilla. Just a quick note to let us all know you are okay please. Is the dress nearly finished now Rebs. Hope you send a photo when it is finished. What happens when the girls out grow the dress's? Can you sell them? Now girls and Tony, (What would we do with out our Tony ), I have a deep dark secret and I feel I now know you all well enough to reveal it to you. Other friends I have told have surprised me by having the same secret, so I thought I would check it out with you. Now I will understand if you laugh, but I just can't help myself. Every afternoon, at 4.30pm I have an overwhelming desire to watch channel ten. There I said it, yes Wattlers, I am a secret viewer of the Bold and The Beautiful. Did I just hear a huge chuckle throughout Australia. I feel I have just had a load lifted from my shoulders and I can now show my true self to you. I hope that you will all still talk to me and please don't send me to the naughty corner, I might have to miss an episode and then how would I catch up. LOL I will now slink off to do some dreaded ironing and will check in later to see if you are all avoiding me SuzyQ ( the B & B Fan )

Now, SuzyQ, I think a quick stint in the Naughty Corner would be most appropriate, although I must admit to being addicted to 'The Biggest Loser' at the moment. Oh 'eck, just go to the corner for a quick Baileys & Biscuits (isn't that whatB & B stands for?) Feeling much better this afternoon. I'll try not to poison myself at dinner tonight. Perhaps I should get takeaway!!! Hope Laurie is having fun. I'm sure she flew over Mudgee on her way out. I could hear lots of chatting!! lol Lew Lew xxx

Hello Wattlers, well I think I survived unscathed, apart from sore feet and have now decided, most definitely that I'm just not cut out for retail therapy, I know I'm a disgrace to the whole female population but it just doesn't do it for me. My dearest daughter had a wonderful time, after living in Port Douglas and not hitting Melbourne shops for 2 years she was in her element. After Saturday and Sunday walking Melbourne - I gave up. She and her husband have hit the outlets in Bridge Road Richmond today, and Brandsmart at Nunawading is the target for tomorrow. She has already bought another suitcase. Now if you pointed me towards a fabric shop (ie patchwork material) you would have to hold me back. Although I will come clean and say I'm a pushover for a shoe shop, and adore handbags. Well I hope Laurie enjoyed Singapore. thats the last bit of warm weather she is going to have for a while,considering its Spring in Europe its not doing great things weather wise. Tony when you go to Thornton next, come back through Buxton and stop at the trout farm, throw in a rod and the trout almost jump on your hook. Pay for it at the counter - 10 mins work and impress Barb no end. Plus you get to still b*** s**t with the boys all weekend. Just tell everyone you have found a wonderful spot on the Goulburn. (another fishing story - lol) Lew Lew what have you been doing to yourself - see this is what happens when you eat too many biscuits and wash it down with Baileys, while ogling the tender's rear. Glad you didn't take salad to Lauries going away party - would have made for an interesting trip. Hey its good to have Jude 2 and Wilson (thought you had retired to a nice fishing spot. Hello and welcome to Lynda. Hope Sue and Jude 2 have a great mini meet. How is your scots friend enjoying the Melbourne weather Jude? She wont want to go home to chilly scotland. Lara how cheeky waving to planes as they fly over hope you are decently attired and not flashing them - lol. Hope Mary is enjoying her NZ break, we will be glad to have her back on a regular basis. Gearing ourselves up for the weekend, I'm going to help demolish a house, if we help we get baltic pine floorboards and lining boards, plus all the weather boards free, we just have to get all out of the house and trailer it to the cottage. Everyone looks at me a little strange and can't understand why I'm excited. MY daughter and s.i.l want to help I just hope its not too hot, but its usually 4/5 deg hotter up in alexandra. Mind you the cottage has great ventilation - there is only 1 room with a complete floor and 2 foot of all the outside walls are missing. My daughter saw it for the first time and said Mum I never thought you would stay in a place like this - you are a 5 star accomodation woman lol. Its so much fun renovating - now the stumping is finished we can construct rather than destruct. Mind you I have to get rid of the 1/2 inch of dirt covering everything - but we could have a free mud bath if we just add water - lol Well must away, still have some work to do. Hello to everyone else Jude 3

Afternoon Everyone, Lara, love to meet you on the 26th, at the genealogy fair. have that day off, I think......haven't got that roster and can't quite make myself go in to get it. I never darken the doors of work after hols unless i am desperate to know something. Not officially back until the 12th, so still have some time, might go tho Melbourne to see grandson. Dogs didn't come to KI, they got to visit with son in Wangarratta. I thought he might return them as we were driving up the driveway but no sign of them yet. Apparently he is tired of picking up s**t, ...... One of the dogs is actually HIS. left at home with parents when he moved out.....Oh what short memories our children can have lol. Still not sure about the Yarrawonga meet yet , I will try to get the time off, but as i have just had hols and have asked for long service to go to Mackay in July, the chances of getting a long weekend could be limited.... But I will give it my best shot. So nice read everyones news..... bit worried about this food poisoning that sees to be going around.....wonder if you drink enough alcohol if it would kill the bugs he he. Take care all. Wlison

*running in from Naughty Corner, panting* I gotta stop this racing between threads, it's gunna kill me! Thanks for the alcohol suggestion, Wilson. I've been drinking enough on the Naughty thread to kill an army! I know Wangaratta quite well, my Aunt and cousins live in Bright. Small world, eh. Having an early night tonight, still recovering from my attempt to poison myself! Chat with you all tomorrow. Lew Lew xxx

Joodles....LOL Thats a ripper mate....hee hee. Funny story that happened when Barb and i were in Hong Kong in 2000. Our Hong Kong holiday. When we got to the Motel, we were up quite high, and i wanted to go out on the balcony to have a look at Hong Kong harbour. The sliding door to the balcony was locked, and i couldn't see properly.( misty ) So i rang the desk. I said: I want to go out on the balcony!!! The Lady said: Oooohhhh.... not loud out on balcony. I said: Look i have just travelled from Australia and i want the balcony door unlocked thank you. Reply: Ooooo.....not loud out on Balcony. I said: Can i speak to the Manager please. Reply: Why you want manager?? BECAUSE I WANT TO GO OUT ON THE BL..DY BALCONY. ( Gettin hot under the collar ) Then Barb said: Tony take it easy..Sheeeez. Anyway, about two minutes later, there was a knock on our door. It was the Manager, and a few of her hit men. Excuse me Sir, she said. wot is problom. I replied: No poblom, me jus wanna go lookey at harbour..(.hee hee.) but door lockey, an me cant get outee. O'h she said. You must sign statement form before we unlock door. What for i said.????? I just wanna have a look at the Harbour. Then she explained: You see Sir, people might jump off balcony sir. ( suicide ) Strewth i said. I didnt travel all the way to Hong Kong to jump off ya balcony. I'm Australian, and if I'm gunna jump off something, it will be Aye's Rock in Oz. Well, Barb was trying hard not to laugh. The manager could see i was an Ozzie, and said O'k we open door. ( had to sign form ) I walked out onto the balcony.The Manager and her hit men turned around to leave, and were just about out the door. I yelled out : AAAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHhh................SPLAT!! They opened the door again and looked in. Then she said...Not velly funny Sir. But she was smiling. Tony Oz :>))

Not Fair you guys . . . I took up all my drinking time here in the Qantas Club, Singapore reading your chatter - ease up a bit will you . . . . they have good champers too . . . . Have had a lovely day in Singapore - did the shopping this morning - then this afternoon we found a lovely water hole down by the river and eased our way up to the flight this evening. Siting next to a Danish couple in the watering hole and guess what . . . . hes a genealogy nut too . . . but he speaks no English, so the wives did all the talking and as a result I now have someone to do the searches for me in Copenhargen.
