just about to turn off 'puter thought 'should i have a little look?'. i like white coffee best . no sugar, but will drink most non alcoholic thing, anyway, especially with major caffeine content. out camping, first i drink all the coffee, then the stand by coffee bags, then the hot chocolate. no milk , no sugar its fine. when we run out its time to go. have been known to drink water in extreme situations (kidding - slurping whilst draining the hot water bottle) night x :-)

She's been out near the shed with the 303 all day - silly girl - what did you want the Doc for Pam - can I help .. tho I can't prescribe medicine? I'll try that Pam, I do have lots of unusual teas in my cupboard and never use them! Jood *who's off to bed now*

Hello Wafflers Guess what I've got???? I~~~waved the fantastic plastic around and like magic a lap top appeared...yaaaayyyy. I hadn't even got it out of the box when Mark got home and started ripping the thing open. At least he gave me the honour of turning the thing on......pmsl. During the set up it asked what I would like to name the puta....ofcourse as it is a handsome thing which jumps to my every word...I called it Nefer.lol. Yvette....what sort of junk do you have....anything Graeme would like to put in his shed lol. Hi Cat person..what are the subjects you're doing? Is there anything the Wattlers could add to spice them up a bit? I've added a post to your 'Why do you do FH' thread. OK Lyn...for Wattle Lotto we will need 3 refferences from people who have known you for more than 50 years. Your finger prints so we can check them with Interpol and a copy of a NSW Police criminal records check. That should be enough to be going on with. The committee will let you know if you meet our very high standards....heee heee Hi Vonny...are you wearing new dangly bits? Your bling looks new. Flutter....you sound as if you had a good day...thats the way to spend your birthday Hi joodles....how you going? Are you sleeping through the night? Pam....see the WattleLotto requirements as set out in my note to Lyn. Don't worry about being cursed. We've been going about 14 weeks and have only won enough for a Polly Waffle. I don't think your contribution of bad luck could worsen our chances lol. Mark is hovering for a play with MY new toy.....b***y kd...you'd think he didn't have one of is own. I'll be back after 've made some coffee. love rifley X

miss louise probably has a better time reading this than her own stuff hey? oi miss louise, i'm missing the psyc thing. golly its hard to tear myself away. my shed is just a wrapping for all my treasures. also have nice lean to wood pile with lovely assorted wood, too nice to burn. thats it i'm off xxx

So that's why you've been so quiet Trifley - been playing with Nefir eh??????????????? Wondered where you were. You forgot to ask the newbies for 3 cards, Medicare, Drivers Licence and one other, as well before they are allowed to play. .. When is the next Board of approval being held? .. I forget who is on it now. Yes, I am sleeping right through now - just getting up once, thank goodness. Im out at the crack of dawn tomorrow and out all day .. geez I promised myself I wouldnt do that any more. .. I just wont learn. Off to bed now, Nite nite Jood

Night Joodles and Yvette. See you all tomorrow. X Trifley Yes Joodles you're right...silly me I did forget. OK girls 3 cards..Medicare, drivers licence and a library card...lol

I'm off to nighty land too. Leave those lurking to play pmsl. Will look forward to reading the results in the morning :) Cat is doing a buzzard impersonation on the top of my computer waiting to be fed. (my cat that is) I expect the other Cat is doing a buzzard impersonation too ppppppp Yayyyy, I have this week off from teaching :) Shazz, I'll tell you about my 'work' in the morning. ~~~~~~~ to all Vonny

Trifley can survive the criteria re finger prints, interpol, and nsw police records but PLEASE do not access Qld records. I'll fail dismally. Still cursed. You will now go 14 months and no sight of a polly waffle. Nighty nite Joods, don't overdo it tomorrow

The Highlands are fantastic and in some parts remind me of the New Zealand South Island. The weather was quite chilly up around Fort William with breaks of sunshine here and there. Some overcast days but no rain, and when it did rain, it was only a shower here and there. Very amazed at the daylight hrs in the U.K summer. Daylight starts at 4:00am and at 11:30 pm you can still take camera shots without a 'flash'........was videoing out the B&B window at the surounding mountains at 11:30 pm last night. Been to Clencoe,Eileen Donan Castle, Inverness, Loch Ness,Stirling Castle, Urquart Castle,Ben Nevis, Wallace Monument ( Very High up ) poor wee Barb got very nervous when she new she had to climb 240 steps ( Spiral staircase ) to reach the summit of the Wallace monument, so just climbed about 50 of the 240........but i got to the top and claimed it in the name of the..... Wattles.....( Yoo mey teek mee life...but you'll neeeever take meee Wattle Freeeeeeeeeeedom.....:>)))) Last night in Scotland, and we fly out to Paris to-morrow ( U.K. ) time. Hope everyone is well.

Yeah ya did beat me Shazz. I woke up at 5.30 and rolled over, all of a sudden it was 6.30 - I was up and out like a shot. .. This particular day I have to be out on the road by about 8.30!!! No time to watch urbkids wedding! Lovely to hear from Jock (aka Tony) - I see he was asking for money - but at the end of the message it said 'stop sending money', so he must have changed his mind. tee heee. .. What a bummer having your case lost and no itinerary. .. Boy I'd have panicked if it had been me, and all on my own. .. So we have our very own monument now - renamed Wattle Monument. .. Glad it was Jock who climbed in the 240 steps and not me, doubt I'd even have caught up to Barb. Well, off to have a shower and then brekky. Have a good day all. Jood

Morning Jood, and where would we be off today me lassie Shazz Had a nice email from Lyn on Thursday re our lunch, sure is a nice lady

Shazz Drs appt at bottom of mtn 8.45, then back up the mtn, past my place, pick up g/f, further up to Katoomba where we are all visiting the SES depot for a talk and look around. Guess I fit lunch in somewhere, then at 3pm have to dash down the side of the mtn for another appt, it could be 4-4.30 before I make the homeward run. And dark to boot. This particular part of the mtn has about 9-10 hairpin bends - oh well, I've done it before. Guess I will be tired tonight. .. I didnt plan things to be so busy, it just happened.

Shazz cat wont be around for a while - its only just over the 60+ messages. .. So tell Lew to put the 303 down and relax. Jood

Ok Have a good day and maybe catch you on here tonight, SES ??? Shaz

Good Morning all, I’m a bit teary and tense today, DD14 reminded me at 5.30 am that this would be the longest she’d ever been away from home, and I’m so nervous about her losing her money and not having enough warm clothes etc etc….they grow up and fly away so quickly don’t they! Anyway, she’s on the bus, and off down the Hume highway. Dreary weather notwithstanding, but yesterday was a super birthday for me, especially with all the GR messages, I’m still reading to catch up but will not miss a single one. I got a few little gifties but nothing special. Funniest thing was parcel from s-i-l in NZ, which had been opened by customs in Sydney, apparently “sniffed”. Card inside from Customs said it had been inspected but nothing illegal found, another form inside said that for $42.50 I could have my pot-pourri gift fumigated and sent on. I think dear s-i-l will understand if I fail to reply and send the pot-pourri to the incinerator (I doubt if it was $42.50 worth!!) LOL . Got me thinking about the ginger chai etc, better not send any via parcel post, those puppy dogs at customs will get very mellow! Great to hear from Tony, I can see him now greeting the Scottish sunrise, kilt all afling, atop a mountain rising out of the mist above a loch……. OK back to reality, one teenagers bedroom to fumigate this week, may find money, clothing, missing school scarf, books, homework, hair ties, sock elastics……etc. Ooooh I miss her already…. Have a great day everyone, and thanks again for the birthday wishes, they made me feel fantastic, Hz in Albury

(((((((huggys to Heather))))))), cheer up dearie, only for a week and she'll be back home in no time, lol, you meanie fancy not spending that meagre amount of money to get your pot pourri released from customs (god you buy nearly a kg I reckon for that much money) after all the trouble sil went to, they really are pathetic sometime those customs people arent they, managed to put a stop on you little package but somehow managed to let poor Chappels boogie board get through, sorry Heather sore point with me, LOL gosh her room isnt that bad is it, anyway have a good day and hope you dont find too many little surprises in DD room Luv Shazz

Ok babbling to myself here so think I'll go and do some research, bye for now Shaz XX
