Lew - big day for you, enjoy it to the max, the future is all yours!This morning we have real, wet, drizzle - no ice - so I hope it's a tad warmer out there ~ have a wonderful day all~ Hz

morning :) Todays the day for Lew Lew Hurray for Lew hurray from me hurray for Lew for she soon will be freeeeeeeee (with apologies to Winnie the pooh :) Trifley, if you are using your laptop via radio waves - not plugged in - with a D-link then you can limit the strength of your waves to just cover your house. You will have to ask whoever set it up what they did. If you are still plugging the lappy in then it doesn't apply. Good joke Shazz, Ahhhhhhh only 2 more sleeps!! Laurie, I hope Wattle bear arrives today! I'll finish packing today and then have tomorrow to tidy up all the loose ends - and hopefully remember what I have forgotten. We also are going out to lunch tomorrow at eldest Son's place that they are house sitting. A property outside Queanbeyan along the Captains Flat road. back later ~~~~~~~~~~Vonny PS Yvette, I notice that another lady who has the same name as you has returned to the general boards. You have different bling and I don't think it will matter but just so you know!! She has been away for quite a while.

Morning all Wattlers - and especially our party girl Lew the Retirement Queen! Congratulations dear Lew Lew and may your party be the beginning of something wonderful. I remember my last day on the job and it was such a feeling of euphoria - make sure you enjoy it to the full. And the good thing is that you will be able to continue the social contacts which is the only bad thing about giving up work - not having the daily contact with colleagues. Congratrulations Julie puss - you have done very well and deserve the break ahead. I hope you will enjoy your free time also. Gosh it's party time everywhere. Love the party venue that you set up for Lew - every inducement to celebrate! Laurie - would you put on some Beach Boys and Bee Gees music for me please and Ooooh! Black Betty and Cotton Eyed Joe to get me in the mood! Jood - I have some goat's milk soap too with the little picture of the goat on it - but I couldn't bear to use it - it is so cute! It was given to me by a friend who is a Uni lecturer at the Gatton Ag Campus - his speciality is goats! Our house has returned to normal - teenage visitor has returned home and there are not so many squeals and giggles aroung the place! However, I think we have grandson for the weekend and a different teenage girl due to arrive next week so my peace is temporary! Hi Tony and Barb- enjoy London! Vonny - I seem to have been wishing you a safe journey for days - and you're still here! However - Departure day is really upon you so - enjoy! I don't think I have the Lotto numbers for Sat night - I may have deleted thinking they were for last week. So if someone could oblige, I would be most grateful. Hi Lara - how was Menopause? Are you still giggling? Good piccies - thanks Rebs. How is everyone going with the froggies? OH has it all worked out now - but Rebs is the champion leap frog artist! For anyone who doesn't know, the froggies are a puzzle I emailed to my contacts - if you want it, PM me with your personal email addy. So many Wattlers these days - big waves and greetings to you all - have a good day and keep that party going for Lew Lew. Catch up later Luv Anna

hi Shazz, gee, wonder why you called the Wattlers a Crazy bunch???? thanks for giving Jude my contact details it is appreciated. Hubby came home and I was reading the thread, he shook his head and said thats all I needed, being encouraged to spend more time on the computer. He walks past sometimes and if I am searching on an ancestry site he stands behind me saying 'I see dead people', yes well he thinks he is funny. Hello!, to everyone, and thankyou for all the welcomes. My brain has become a bit soggy from being at home with the kiddies all the time so it will probably take time for me to remember who everyone is Louisa :)
