uhmmmmm Morning Wattlers, I think I was first up - at 6.30am, but just been lurking lurking. Vonny did you hear back from Christine? Gwenda, almost there thanks, still take it easy doing stuff, and do very little of it, just a bit at a time. Got a mouthful of ulcers today (and yesterday) and an upset stomach (unrelated) - it doesnt pay to take medication at once instead of twice a day. (took two strong tablets instead of one night and one morning) - my little tummy couldnt handle it lol) Jood

Morning Joodles, your supposed to take medication at the times on the bottle not lump them together all at once...lol no wonder you dont feel the best. Damp and chilly here today but will probably fine up later. I hope so I've got heaps of washing to do.

Tassie, Thur-Fri are better for me. Im free 3-4, 10-11, 17-18. 24-25 August - in other words any Thur-Fri in August. But what about Lew, Laurie, Mary, Shazz, Leah, Sandra & Lyn, plus anyone from other states (like Vonny, Gwenda) who would like to come - we could make this one at the Casino which is central. Wednesdays are free too, but not for Shazz. Jood

Jude - I was so annoyed with myself, I had opened up a new packet, and was idly thinking - gee they dont last very long by the time you take two (takes two tablets absent mindly) tablets a day. I was horrified when I looked at the packet and 2 tablets were gone lol Make sure I dont do that again! Gee its quiet here without Mumsie Lara Jood

Are we thinking of a meet in Sydney????? wonder if there are any cheap flights ......I can do Sydney in a day Where is Lara??

Good morning Wattlers A little more instruction in etiquette for the weekend: No. 53. Run not in the streets, neither go too slowly nor with mouth open, go not shaking your arms, kick not the earth with thy feet, go not upon the toes, nor in a dancing fashion. So - decorum ladies if you please. Lady Bountiful

pmsl Anna .....I'll be going down the street in the car its too bloody cold to walk

Morning All A very frosty but fine day today. Jood not too sure about a thur or Fri meet as I have kids in school to think of and every second weekend they go to their Dads which is what I was thinking on coming over on a weekend, but then it depends on the cheap tickets. Jude Melb, yes there are cheap tickets coming up, I got an email from Jetstar and there is going to be an exclusive sale for Jetmail members, if you are interested l or anyone else for that matter pm me and I will give you more details. The tickets are going to be dirt cheap!!!!! Tony hope you and Barb have a great time, think of us wont you lol. Cheers Sue

Jude why dont you get on the Qantas, Webjet, etc. mailling list (email) - I'll find the addresses if you dont know. The casino would be great, as you can get a train from airport to central and light train to the Casino. Jood

Thanks Jood, bargains....I love bargains...lol

Morning all.. Did anyone say MEET,, count me in as I will be stir crazy by then if I dont get a dose of fun and madness.. Have visitors in Sept. so August is OK for me.. whatever I am doing...Its fairly free at the moment, unless I am moving by then.. but what the heck.. one day wont hurt will it..LOL Must go as it is open day again today and must get the house tidy.. Love you all Maryxxxx

If you have time have a look at a thread on pg 3 Pick a Random Surname. Everyone is listing surmanes they are tracing and you never know you might find a match...better than hot matches Hope its today Mary, fingers crossed

Another Miss Never Pay Retail lol Jude Tassie ............ Saturdays are ok with me, but all the other girls are married, dont know how they feel about Saturdays. ......... We didnt have any husbands at the Casino, just a quiet lunch (girly type), about 8 of us, and had all left by about 4-ish. ....... It wouldnt be a glittery trarararara affair like the Brisvegas one. .. ..... I really dont know about Saturdays - they will have to give you their own input. Jood

Pluddy ell - I'm getting commmercials up the top here :-(((( ,,,,, and I thought I got rid of em. Jood

Morning Wafflers, I only had 8 pages to catch up on, pmsl! Off to buy some fish for the pond this morning, then the dreaded housework, 'cause we're having friends over for dinner. Now, a little something for Tony from 'The Ways of Society': 'Travelling: It has been said, and rightly, that travelling brings out all the worst qualities in human nature, and until a journey has been undertaken in company, it is almost impossible to realise what people can be. Their weak points are brought out when travelling, and at times their selfishness and temper show to a very great disadvantage. Were it only proper, a journey together would doubtless be undertaken before matrimony, in order to test the desirability of the contracting parties. In many cases this test might prove a fatal one' Hope you have a great trip, lol. Over to you, Lady Anna, for more instruction on etiquette. Rather pleasant morning in Mudgee. Only got down to -2.5, the sun is shining and the frost has disappeared. Tassie, I'll try and fit into any arrangements you make for a Sydney Meet. Well, must away and have some breakfast. Have a great day everyone. Lew Lew xxx

Jood yes I am also getting those adds at the top of the screen too, as I am typing this I have got a travelodge one saying about having a million rooms at 26 pound (havent got the symbol for that) lol. Jood yes I wasnt thinking of others when I mentioned a weekend, but my lovely David might watch my girls if I can get tickets but 11th Aug would be about the best date. Cheers Sue

Morning all - I slept in today :) What's with all the broken bits of plant all over the place???? :) No Jood, no message back from Christine. I have to be extra good today and do lots of h*******k cause I have 12 people coming over for dessert tomorrow evening. talking about etiquette, a second cuz (who found me on this site) sent me a copy of my 4x great grandma's application for her ticket of leave: 7th August 1813 The humble memorial of Mary Smith most respectfully sets forth: That your Excellency's memorialist arrived in the colony a prisioner, in the Ship Bloxbournbury, and since that time has been employed in the Parramatta factory. Memorialist, from her general line of conduct is emboldened to trust your Excellency will be graciously pleased, to take into your Excellency's humane consideration the character of the memorialiast who has conducted herself much to the satisfaction of her superiors both in the discharge of her duties and other respects. etc. Wonder how much she had to pay for that to get written??? It is signed by Lochlan Macquarie!! Isn't it something when people from history jump off the pages and become personal to your family???? Vonny

~~~~~~~~~~~~~wanders through thread waving night night~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

yes, I've got the ads back too. oh well, it was nice for a while. At least the Bingo one on the left isn't as garish as the cherries. I'm game for August but it would have to be a weekend as I have commitments during the week days. If there are dirt cheap tickets from Canberra could anyone let me know??? Vonny
