Morning All Gee everyone sound busy with their lives at the moment. Gwenda and Vonny it is also cold here today, sitting a puta with trackies and jumper, debating if I need a heater on, my cold has gone but I dont want it back as I am booked in to have Flu vax on Thursday. Condolences to all who have lost family or inlaws over the last couple of days. I am like Gwenda and had a contact from someone who seems to be in my tree. with what they told me, we have the same Great Great Grandparents, although a couple of other things did not match, but they are willing to share certificates they have with me so we will find out what the correct info is hopefully. The Cyclone has certainly done some damage in Qld. My parents are supposed to be going up around Cairns and a few other places at the end of May. I havent seen them since the Cyclone so I am not sure if they are still going or if they decided to postpone or change their plans. Good to see Laurie and Mary pop on, if only briefly. Well thats about it for now in cool, cloudy Tassie. Catch you after. Cheers sue

Hi all Just a very quick hello as there are men swarming all over the house with power tools!! Sorry to get you all excited - just air conditioning going in. Great to hear from Laurie again and to know all is OK. Jood - thinking of you today and hope your tests go well. That first meal is sure going to taste good! I'm So sorry to hear of your losses. It's strange when it involves people from a previous time in your life - it brings back so many memories. Hubby received an hilarious email about 'that ad' - you know - the notorious tourism one. However, it has a worse word than bloody in it. If anyone wants me to forward it, I will, but just wanted to give prior warning of the language!! Sounds as if you are on target for getting into the house by the end of March Lew. How exciting! I had to laugh when Tony dredged up that old song 'Hullabaloo-loo, Don't bring Lew Lew I'll bring her myself' Gosh that must have been a song they sang during the war I think!! You wouldn't have even been born! Glad to hear people are having successes with their family historyl After all, that is why we are supposed to be on this site!! Man coming in to cut a hole in the ceiling - yikes! I won't look! Bye Anna

Hi Wattlers I've put on a thread about the Canadian reaction to our tourism ad. I wonder if 'they' will get this one pulled? I had to take Mark (son) to work this morning as the Forrester is in having a service before the rally on Friday. The traffic is UNBELIEVABLE! Bumper to bumper from Mudgeeraba to Pacific Fair. It was like a long, narrow car park! Or for those of you who are old enough to remember......the squash trying to get out of the drive-in after the movie had finished. Mark said it is like this most mornings. I don't know how he stands it. Every car in Qld. must be on the road at 8:10am. When I got back home (eventually) I found Graeme (hubby) had washed the brekkie dishes AND made the bed before he went to work. Isn't he wonderful? I hope everyones colds are getting better........ keep drinking the fluids! Joodles....thinking of you, poor thing, starving! Enjoy your meal after the ultra sound. To all the rest........big Gold Coast hugs and happy thoughts. <<<<GC>>>> See y'all later. love Trifley

Mmmm, hubby washing up and making bed! You know what this means, do you!!!! pmsl, Lew Lew xxx

Pretty sure he doesn't want anything.....or done anything ha ha. He was just well trained by his mum. His brother is like it too. There are not too many of them around. I am getting SICK of this old Windows 98 computer. It is degrading and crashing and being a bloody nuisance. Mark (son) and nephew and niece-in-law are putting forward arguments for a lap top instead of a desk top PC. Have only used Mark's lap top (Qosmio) a few times so am not an expert on them. As lap tops come with all the bells & whistles these days would it be better, when I upgrade, to go with one of those? Nephew & niece-in-law have said I can back all my 'tree' info on a memory stick and could use the lap top in more places. As you lot understand my genealogy needs....what is the general opinion? Big desk top PC....or lap top? 'Bye love Trifley

Hiya Tony, LewLew and Trifley, nice to see you Aussies. but going to bed now ;; nite nite ;;; Babs

Afternoooon Wattlers. Nice Sunny warm day in Melb. and forecast was for 28c. Well its lunch time, and home having a bite to eat.. ( Subway ) Why a Subway??....cos it has a Competition on it at the mo....lol and i have been instructed by Barb, that i am to eat Subway for Lunch....:>)) Well, we have 13 starters now for our Tattslotto, and i have rung Tattersalls to check if we need to register as a Syndicate. The answer is No........But we should form a Syndicate name. Dont know what others thoughts are, but i was thinking...'Wattlelotto' for our syndicate name. I was explained by Tattersalls, that there is no 'Tax' charged on Winning tickets in Oz....if and when we win the Major.1st Divy. It is a mutal agreement by all of us to share our winnings....and when we win the big one..lol...as we are a group, we become shareholders of the win, so a win of ..say a Million $ would be divided equally amongts the Syndicate shareholder. 'Wattlelotto' group. I have a copy of all shareholders in our Lotto group, ( 13 at the moment )and will forward a copy to everyone, to prove they are Shareholders of our Syndicate. I have bought our 1st Ticket, and will post it off to everyone.( shortly ) Its for this Saturday night coming..25th Here is a list of who's turn it is to buy the Ticket and the date, ( randomly picked ) that the ticket will be drawn. So you need to buy the ticket for our group approx 2-3 days before the date you are supplied with.....scan it..( the Ticket ).and send it to me....ta. Copy and paste it or save it....so you know what Saturday night its your turn to buy Tattslotto. Tony.....for the 25th Mar... Purchased Anna.... 1st April Joodle....8th April Lara......15th April Lew......22nd April Vonny.....29th April Gwenda....6th May SusyQ....13th May Judy YV3.....20th May Leah......27th May Trifley.....3rd June Sue ( In Tas. )......10th June Laurie........17th June. I will now Bless our Ticket.....:>)))))) Our ancestors who art in Heaven Hello...wots your name. Give us our win, our weekly grin on earth,while we are still here. And forgive us our plastic cards as we cant elp ourselves. Cos,we need $$$ and $$$ forever and ever...Amen.....:>)) O'k...back to work for me. Tony Oz....:>))

Hey Tony, it's a sign! Not only have I just eaten Subway and entered the competition, but as I type, a little money spider is now jumping around on my monitor!!!!! What brilliant luck, hooray. Just so I'm not confused, when you say Tattslotto, I presume you're referring to Oz Lotto. Please confirm. Ooo how exciting! And I love the syndicate name. I don't think we need any more formal agreement that what you have suggested. Trifely, I've got a laptop and a desk top. The laptop's convenient, but typing can be a bit of a pain. Well, lunch is over, back to work! Lew Lew PS - Money spider still on monitor!!!!!!!

Hi Tony Love the name of the syndicate. Bloody bewdy, mate! Lew Lew has asked my question.......is that Oz lotto? Am looking forward to our first round of numbers. What are you going to win with Subway? Lew Lew.......is the spider a sign of money or a sign that your puta needs dusting lol? Poor you.........with Tony & Barb's winning luck you stand little chance of winning Subway. love Trifley

$10,000 or an iPod Nano, Trifely. And, no, puter is clean!!! Spider is just lots of luck. Hey, it's about time Tony & Barb shared a bit of their luck!!!! Lew Lew x

Just discovered money spider is a boy. I just found him down my top!!!!!! pmsl. Lew Lew

Hi Again Tony yes Wattlelotto sounds great. With you getting the first ticket for Saturday night it would be Tattslotto not Oz Lotto, is that correct?? Anna could you forward the ad to me please. I also have one that is a bit rude it is about emoticons and it uses the word A**e for each emoticon. If you want a look let me know and I can forward it . Cheers Sue

Lew Lew If that spider went down my top, my top wouldnt be on now :-0

Chicken, lol !!!. He's just a little spider. Don't forget I'm a farm girl. We're used to yuckier things than that! Like brown snakes, black snakes, goannas, funnel web spiders, dead livestock, bushfires, drought, etc., etc. lol. Lew Lew xxx

Lew I have spent a bit of time on a farm too. But I would rather clean out a cow shed after milking or clean an animal ready for eating than have a spider on me. I could be laying in bed and see the tiniest of spiders on the ceiling away from the bed, David would have to kill it incase it dropped on me in the middle of the night. Yes I,m a scaredy cat and I'll admit it. pmsl

good afternoon all , Tony yes good one mate wattlelotto sounds good to me and it is tattslotto here and looks like Tasmania too, but up Nth called Gold Lotto on Saturday night I think so let's say the Australian wide Saturday night draw eh if that's alright Tony ?

Hi Everyone. Yes....Lara is right. Its called Saturday night .Gold Lotto..in Queensland ( just did a 'google' ).......and Barb also reminded me when we were in Q.L.D we went to put on Tattslotto ( what its called in Vic. ) but found it was called something else..in Q.L.D 6 numbers and 2 supplementry, drawn......from 45 numbers. Saturday Lotto Most popular Australian 'pick six' lottery known by various names in different States of Australia. Syndicated through Australia Lotto Bloc, the Saturday night game is known as 'Tattslotto' in Victoria, Tasmania, NT and ACT, 'Gold Lotto' in Queensland and as 'Lotto' in South Australia and Western Australia. Saturday Lotto (45 numbers) costs $0.45 per game, plus commission. I will try to remind who's turn it is.......if i remember...:>)) If we hit the big one on Saturday night.......it is possible i may have a CRAFT moment.......and leave the Country....please forgive me...:>(((.....LOL.....but you will find me....cos i will be at the PRO in Kew....offering to buy the place...Ha ha Tony Oz.....laughing about the spider

Afternoon everyone, Is the the wattle groups month for propping up the health system with patients? Just got results on Monday from ultrasound (had last week) all good - nothing showed up - and no it wasn't on my head! But have since found out that doc has been treating me for duodenal ulcer and haven't got one - apparently have a hiatus (?) hernia. Was wondering why medication wasn't seeming to be doing any good. Anyway told me no heavy lifting - I tried to look angelic and say of course not (I was only lifting 10 sheets of structafloor panels 2400 x 900mm on sunday - nothing at all heavy!!) so I'm on light duties and was told no vacuuming - I always wanted to be told that! and definitely no lifting. Hope your results are all clear too Jood. Glad Laurie is back with us, and hopefully is having a wonderful time. Hang on to that money spider Lew, don't rub him too hard for luck - lol. We need it for Wattlelotto. Sorry can't stay long today - work is manic, have spent the day trying to read the last 5 days messages to catch up on everyones news. Waves to everyone & says hi - have a good night - catch u tommorrow Jude 3yv

Good afternoon Wattlers, Trifly - get a laptop - that's all I use now. Well son paid to upgrade the computer so technically that's his. Only downside to laptop is that OH comes home from work and says 'let me know when you've finished there so I can have a game'. Before he could get on the puta and I could stay put here. Do find it annoying to type on tho - letters that don't appear even though I swear I pressed them but so much easier to take on hols if need be. Tony - love the Wattlelotto name - most appropriate. When I watch the Biggest Loser will I see your name pop up as a winner or did you put it in Barb's name in which case it will definitely be a winner - lol Lara - enjoy the pool - I've had to dig out the cardigan and ugg boots. Better move myself, was going to be so good today and get lots of h****w**k done but not really done as much as I thought. Still when you find a new cousin you seem more inclined to dig a bit further to satisfy each other's curiosity of how and when they got to SA. Hi to everyone else Gwenda Joodles - hope all your tests went well and you have a lovely meal afterwards.

Wattlers......You have Email....lol Tony Oz...:>)).....good luck
