Errrrrrrrrrrr Vonny .. You are right! Silly silly me ... SPRINGTIME Trifley - you naughty, naughty girl - watching that show (what's it about?? lol) Jood (always innocent)

Lew My uncle had new hearing aids and they were DIGITAL ones.. he said the others were no good and didnt work for him but these were perfect.. make enquiries...and see..??? worth a try.. Love Maryxxx

Evening (again) Anna, I think tomorrow is the shortest day of the year. Congrats to Katherine - glad she likes the coat (at that price). Hope Dixie is okay, give her lots of cuddles. Lew, you like I have someone who prefers to cook. My OH has done the cooking for years. He enjoys doing it and I'm not complaining. I hate cooking so I think he thought if he didn't do it, he might starve to death - not. Trifley, I have to type one handed lots of time. If I don't give Slater lots of pats and strokes down the body, he lets me know by tapping on my leg - only thing is, he forgets to pull his claws in and I quite ofter have little trickles of blood running down my leg. Started to write this an hour ago but a girlfriend rang and chatted but has gone now as 'blues eyes' is nearly on. I will have to hurry. Will call in later Pam

Hey, Tassie, that's a great height. I'm 5'10' too! Use to hate it as a kid, but now am very happy. Mary, the hearing aids were digital, it's just that Terry's problem was very specific. Not just loss from age, but from National Service. Lew xxx

Oh I despise House. He is so bitter and twisted. And the hospital scenes are pure fantasy - as if the rellies would be watching all those procedures. Why am I drawn to it - like a moth to a light. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Lew - so sorry to hear the hearing aids weren't a success. It must be very frustrating for Terry. I'm sure my hearing is not what it used to be - I seem to have the TV up louder than in the past. Maybe the TV is on the blink!!!!!!!!!!! Have you heard all the low down about the ex yet - any bits we don't know about???? Tomorrow we have our 'Term Break-up' for our walking group - a lovely pub lunch. Oh, so much walking to do to get rid of the extra calories! And I've just discovered orange Tim Tams - they are yummy!!! I think I should go for a long walk right now!! :>( Anna

Evening all - been floating around :) Even did a bit of genie work - I do love my speaking program. Just sat and read an old Eulogy from a newspaper and the lovely program typed it up for me :) I've just invited a lady from Shell Harbour (NSW), called Yvette to pop in and say hi if she wishes. So if she does, please don't frighten her!! OK? of to bed myself as Hubby has been home sick all day and wants an early night. ~~~~~~~~~~ Vonny

My brain is spinning tonight - trying to sort out this wretched family - have pages of stuff to check out .. but enough is enough .. I need play time, read time, or something! I have a lot of fun with the 5 letter and 4 letter game. .. Good to see a lot of Wattlers participating. Wonder how far our Lara has progressed today, and how Tony & Barbara are doing. Think I'll go to bed and read a book - bed is lovely and warm. Tooroo - see you all in the morning *doesn't go off singing like Trifley cause she doesnt want to wake up the neighbours* Jood

Lew My uncles hearing loss was from being in the army for 30 or 40 odd years..and probably the same reason , guns going off..he was very pleased with them and said they were much better than the old ones he had.which sat in his drawer..unused.. Love Maryxxx

Back again House saves the day (yet again). Had to move my puddy tat off my lap to get back here. He aint appy. More claw marks coming. Dreaded cat just like another one lol. Nighty nite ~~~~~~~~ Pam

So have you all gone to bed then? One cold night and everyone dives under the covers! Trifley - do you feel like singing? 'In his work shed or down at Bunnings My husband spends his days In his work shed or down at Bunnings My husband spends his days.... Ooooh, ohhhhhhhhhhhh oh oh a wimmerway a wimmerway' :>)) Anna

Was that a song Anna? *ducks for cover* Sweet dreams Jood

they tell us on the news that 90% of nsw is sufferring from drought. well i've got different news. shellharbour must be getting the other 10%'s worth tonight. i love a drought. *go outside at night without the umbrella, yes we stil have an outside loo. *dogs drink from their water dish and not the puddles. *essence of wet dog becomes a distant memory forget that the clothes drier is not safe to use

How bout singing the one our favourite Tony made up? Sung to the tune of... ' Farewell to old England ' G'day to me mates on the Wattle-thread and G'day to me buddies and Pal's G'day to me neighbour New Zealand and pommie U.K-mates as well. Chorus:1 We-got Melbin n' Sydley n' Adelaide We-got Canbra n'Hobart n'Perf and Brissy, wer'e all on the Wattle - thread in the land of the sun n' the surf....:>)) So join in with us on the Wattle-thread and waffle with Lara and Lew, Pat , Anna n' Mary and Joodles Laurie, Rebs, Vonny n' Sue There's...

Anna You're mad, it aint cold. Bewdiful weather. On the news now. Who gives a s**t about Nicole's hen's night. Sick of hearing about it (the wedding, what a farce). Time I really did go to bed

Me too, Pam Jood

Hmmmmph..... What's wrong with my songs? I must admit, Tony's is a good one. Hi Yvette - welcome to Wattlers. Please send us some of your rain - we are on such severe water restrictions here in Toowoomba, QLd. I used to visit my M.i.l. at Gerroa -south of Kiama. Pretty part of the country. Think I'll go and sing myself to sleep - Night all Anna

Welcome Yvette from Pam on Bribie Island, Q. Qld - beautiful one day Perfect the next and oh so true

Must be just about time that dreaded cat appeared. Wonder why.

Evening all !! Welcome to the nut house Yvette - some days are nuttier than others !! SHAZ . . . When you get up early in the morning and you read this . . I will phone you to work out where we are meeting!! I have to be out at the office to drop off some things for Ray by 11am so be free after that . . . Been a hectic sort of day - new passport on the way - Retail sales for the day slightly up - thanks to me finding something to wear to a September wedding in Qld - better be good weather, its very 'springy' . . . even got the shoes to match . . . . Sales are pretty good at the moment thanks to end of financial year looming. (Lew, I'm a good pupil, didn't pay rrp) Catch you all tomorrow morning before I head out to have lunch with Shaz, Joodles and hopefully Lyn. Night cheers luv Laurie

Aaahhh...now I can carry on...I've had my dose of Mr Blue Eyes. Evening Wattlers'. Hi Yvette...nice to meet you. My name's Dianne but I get called lots of other things on this thread. One of the nice names is Trifley. I live on the glorious Gold Coast, where at the moment, it is cold, wet and miserable. Don't be turned off by us all..we can be a bit mad at times. Did you say an outside Loo? Hi Vonny..give John a big healing hug from me. I hope he is on the mend soon. Anna... did you get those lyrics from the MM web site? It's been going around in my head for days. How did the rest of Katherine's results go? Hi Pam...I'm lucky too. Graeme and Mark both like to cook and I hate it so we make a good combination. Hi Joodles...I've copied Tony's song so I can practise it for Mudgee in February. Wont you all be thrilled? I think it's about bed time so I'll take Jessie out for a last wee walk and head for the blankets. Have a good sleep everyone. love Trifley
