General Chat

Ooo, SuzyQ, new bling! How exciting. And Champagne! You really are celebrating. Have Fun! Hey, Rebs, I think Pam has offered to drive. Could be fun. Lew Lew x

So much for a sunny day in Queensland. The heavens have just opened and I have towels on the line. I am guessing that they will still be there tomorrow, enjoying an extra rinse or two.

oops, just saw Pams offer. Mght be able to make it after all. I can work it out with her if we manage to meet Lara for lunch. lolol see I almost made the big post. hehe!!! Didn't even realise what the number was. Page is bookmarked to last replies, so I don't see the main general board page. Fed up with all the crap on Gen, so I don't look there anymore if I can avoid it. Just refresh wattle page to catch up with replies. Would have wet myself had I inadvertantly got the big one. lolololol !!!

PMSL, Rebs. If you'd got the big one, we'd have to shoot you! I have the 303 at the ready for you and the Cat, lol. Lew Lew xxx

Afternoon all :) Congrats to SusyQ. Enjoyed my morning but now have to scurry around and do all the hcoughk. Lew Lew, we are dying to see your photo's but I think you had better email them as I remember Rebs requesting that photos not be posted - especially as she is incognito at the moment :) Glorious day here today, our visitors should all be very happy. back later Vonny

He is a beautiful Newfoundland and his head is bigger than mine..LOL and if he stood up on his hind legs he would be taller than me to. He is adorable though and he loves company.. Well must go ..back later Love maryxxx

Good afernoon my favourite Waffling Wattlers Hi Hz...I realised a long time ago that you have to have short breaks away from your kids so you get the chance to miss them. Mark came home from a school trip to Canberra when he was in year 9. A new white Billabong long sleaved jumper had grass stains all down the back and one sleeve. Evidently while returning from an outing one evening the kids asked the teachers if they could stop and look at the parliament house by lights. This huge purple bus (from Grafton) disgorged all these teenages out next to the building at 9:pm. The teachers then said the kids could run up the grass slope...you know the one over the building? The kids then had races up the slope and rolled down the slope. That is until the security guards came out and told the teachers off. They all piled back in the bus and beat a hasty retreat. Soooo...it's not your kids you have to worry about...it's the teachers. That was also the trip they left the principals son behind at the war memorial and when a boy fell while ice skating, they didn't take him to hospital until the next day because they thought he was puuting it on. He had a broken leg. Have I worried you enough about school trips? Don't worry...she'll be fine. Mary...nice to hear you are having such a relaxing time in canbera. Anna...digital cameras are great. I borrow Marks sometimes and they are pretty well idiot proof. You're right...the screen needs to be big. Lew Lew...only 4 sleeps. Are they giving you a big send off party? Next week your real life starts. Hi Kaz from theUK. Have you tried counting sheep to help you sleep? I hope you finally get off to the land of nod. Sandra...did you get any photos of you and your daughter on the bridge? It's an experience you'll remember for a long time. SuzyQ....what sort of cookies? Choc chip or plain? There is a section in programmes....accessorries....system tools....disc clean-up. And another wa through control panel....internet settings (I think). Someone might be able to give you better directions. Rebs...you might end up a 'Lady who lunches' if you go to too many of these Wattle meets...pmsl It would be good to see you if you can get to the GC. I've spent most of the morning setting up my new toy. I didn't realise how comfortable I was with the old '98' untill I started using this one. EVERYTHING looks, behaves and is different. Still a challange is good...keeps me on my toes and my brain agile. I'm missing something...aaahhh...I know, coffee. I'll be back love Trifley x

Mary, I think you may have got a bit confused. Never mind girl, must have left the grey matter in Sydney. We are arranging a meet on the Gold Coast for July. You thought we were all coming to Sydney didn't you LOL

Back from hydrotherapy and feel nice and relaxed. Good one SuzyQ. I think bubbles would be nice. Lara, that sounds good to me. Just let me know the address and time. Mary, I have been getting that bingo s**t for ages. Your dog sounds just so beautiful, what is his name? Oh Trifley, what are you trying to do to Hz? And Trifley, me thinks that Kaz was the 'cat' incognito, trying to get the big one. Ha ha, she missed it. Luv Pam

Just wrote a lovely long post and LOST it. Not happy Jan!! So now the abbreviated one. Pam and other newies: To find who a person is just hover your cursor over their name and their number will show in the grey strip below. In the list SusyQ sent are all our numbers so you can tell if it is us or not. This is our Wattle insurance :) if we change our names we usually let each other know or else make it obvious - like signing with our name or leaving our bling intact. numbers don't change however. NOW the big news. My cousin from Qld has just been given a book of photos taken by my great great Uncle which has photos of the family in it!!!! they went back to England sometime in the early 1900's and we have completely lost track of them. The book is called Chichester harbour - past and present. isn't that exciting!! Vonny

calling Jood ~~~~~~~ can you rescue 'add, subtract etc??? I've made the last word too hard I think!! Vonny

Lucky you Vonny - what everybody wishes would happen lol. Have a nice lunch tomorrow Pam, Rebs & Lara - and more pickles ........ sorry pickies please. Welcome home to Laurie - you should be home!!!! Sigh ..... a long day, but I did everything!!! no no, not H*****k - don't be silly!!! Vonny - I'll have a look at the thread, but I havent participated in that one - the add, subtract one - too hard!!! Jood

Vonny ............. hope that is ok. Jood

Oooo, lucky Vonny. How exciting. What a find! You must be very excited and I can't blame you. Have fun at lunch tomorrow girls and remember, Rebs, keep them boys covered up!, lol. Lew Lew xxx

Hurray for Jood!!! Thank you :) Got to go out so see you tomorrow everyone. ~~~~~~~~~~~Vonny

~~~waves Vonny goodbye~~~

Hello Waflers Vonny...what a great find...particularly as they will be labled! We have some family pickles which are not labled......most confusing. On occaisions I've been reduced to measuring eyes to esrs to nose just to try and identify someone. Lara, Pam, Rebs and Sandra....have a great lunch and take lots of pickles! Lew Lew...another day down. You must be almost up to counting hours now...heee heee. Sandra (Gong) are you going to post the pickles on the photos page? I'll show you mine if you show me yours...lol Tummy's grumbling...I think it's time for dinner. See you later. Trifley X
