Lew Lew, is it only six months????? feels like years!!!!!!!!!! pmsl :) Vonny

SuzyQ - I have a cousin who had trouble with bigpond - someone was accessing their account - they only found this out after going into a Telstra shop and staff said that is what happens - then tried to cover their gaff by saying it doesn't - anyway password was changed there and then and within a few days of new setup they were over their limit - strange cos they weren't at home to use it - changed password again and hasn't happened since. Vonny - I've been simmering mine since this morning so that's about 4 hours now - just turning pink - didn't think they took this long when I was younger - maybe Mum had the heat up higher - anyway cloves are making the house smell nice. Hope you brought your washing in - its drizzling here again - was hanging mine when it started - b****r - had to bring it back in. Back to the bathroom - up to the floor - shower looking better but will need another go on the glass Drop back in a while

Gwenda, when I was a kid I looooooved Quince jam - I don't know who made it - probably an Aunt or someone, but I havent tasted it since!!! I never see it around to buy it either. Lew glad you had a lovely lunch - it does seem more than 6 months since we've known you, but it feels like a longer time - you guys are all part of my everyday life. By the way, I use a Microsoft Intellimouse - Im on my 4th, I think now. .. They are under warranty for 3 years, and there has always been something wrong with them before the 3 years is up. I send them back to M/soft every time, with a note and they send me a newbie!!! .. You'd think by now they would realise there is something wrong with them. .. I'm sure the warranty was for longer before, but now its 3 years. .. I'm keeping a note of the date of this one for future reference! On Bigpond (I hate them) - why dont you guys all change your passwords then, and see if it makes a difference to your usage? Pam why are you the little black duck now - I thought you were fluffy and yellow - did you fall in the mud? ~~~~~~~~~~ to all. Jood

Happy Birthday Lew, your earings are beautiful, lucky girl you, still suffering from this dreadful cold don't want to spread it so will be back tomorow, Happy day to everbody luv Jillxx

Afternoon Wattlers, Mmmmmm quince, Love it, we had a tree at our last place and we miss it now. I bought some at a market a few weeks ago yum. I am stewing rhubarb that OH picked yesterday. The plant is one that has been in the family for 3 generations, and i am about to divide it again to give to my children who love it. MIL moved into a retirement village and we planted her rhubarb for her, and the stupid gardener sprayed it with round up. He thought it was a weed, lucky we still had a healthy plant that had come from hers years ago. Now she just gets it from us, doesn't trust the gardener not to do it again lol. Happy Bday Lew, hope you are having a good one. I have been doing a spot of gardening this afternoon, and am just about ready for my version of a vb tablet. Speaking of drinks, does anyone make their own Alcoholic ginger beer?, i made some a while ago and i doesn't seem very fizzy, anyone know what i have done wrong, it tastes good, just not much fizz. I make normal ginger beer all the time and have no trouble with not enough bubbles it that. Takc Care All Wilson

Happy Birthday Lew, so nice to hear you've been treated royally, as you so deserve !! Enjoy afternoon tea ! Hi everyone else, wasn't the rain lurvely, I actually got out in thegarden yesterday afternoon and redistributed some plants, hoicked out heaps of weeds, the earth was so soft, looking forward now to spring. Congrats Tony on being a grandad yet again, more claims on the eventual estate eh !(Quick, spend the inheretence lol) I spent the morning in court ! Purpose was subtle as DD14 was with me, we just went to observe. Local sessions are right across the road from us and we often see the crowd, I figured she should know what goes on. So a court staffer showed us around and we heard a couple of sentencings of traffic crimes, and a few AVO matters etc. I could have stayed there all day listening. DD14 came away very interested in taking Legal Studies later on, she saw quite a few people doing different jobs, police, volunteers, lawyers etc, so it was good to do. OK, I'm off the the gym, back to school tomorrow for our household, and Eistedfodd coming up at the end of the month (DD14 does a little bit of Drama). Back later in the week Hz

Jood The mud I might have fallen in, certainly wasn't here in sunny Qld. Might have been down Melbin way. I think it was Tony who dubbed me that. Pam

Morning everyone :-) Lew Lew the earrings are beautiful :-) Happy Birthday again lol Laurie thanks for the pics :-) Trifley this calendar idea..........great idea I think you should all do it pmsl........or instead of period you could do say twenties/thirties. SuzyQ re car being thrown in PMSL Jill hope your cold gets better soon Jess has gone back to school today, well it is the trip to Camelot today lololol. One more week at school for my two then they're off for 6/7 weeks, haven't counted and I don't want to in case it turns out to be longer lol. ~~~~~~~~~~~to all~~~~~~~~~~~~ Catxx

Morning puddy tat

Pam, when you were christened Little Duck, I always said in my mind - Little Black Duck!!. So it must be from a story in our childhood perhaps???? Gwenda, I didn't realise it would take quinces that long to turn red, but I'm sure I boiled mine at least that long! Managed to grab the washing in just as it started sprinkling. Will finish it off tonight by the fire. Vonny

Morning Pam :-) Morning Yvonne :-) or should I say evening lol

Well, afternoon tea was just great! Rebecca & Baby Ruby brought me out a very small chocolate cake, just big enough for Terry and me. Pam & daughter Ellie (13) brought flower and a toy siamese cat that Mui took great interest in and just stared and patted. Even the florist delivered flowers to me from friends in Sweden! How special is that! I've had a wonderful day and thank you all for your wishes. Thanks Tony for 'splish splash!' Lew Lew - the birthday Gal

Lew Lew glad you've had a great day :-)

Thanks Cat, I feel very special! News from number 1 niece. First ultrasound - 1 bubby only. Blast I was hoping for 2!!!!

LOL Lew :-) Easy for you to say, you don't have to give birth pmsl

Just waiting for OH to come home for dinner,marinated lamb backstrap mash & vegs.....yum Mary, if your still packing you've got too much stuff, start turfing...lol Laurie you sound like you're having a great time and wont want to come back to us. Wilson you must be glad you only have to sit back and watch the crop grow for a while. have a good night, think I'll have to toast Lew tonight seeing as its her birthday... Flakey

Dont be tooo hasty Jude2 - let's enjoy spring first - we would be complaining about the hot weather otherwise! .. My daughter reminded me it was only 6 weeks till spring. I guess you will all be watching Kylie Minogue on Channel 9 (I think it is) - at 8.30pm? I was earnest working away on my family history updating stuff I had found a long time ago - it sure wears your eyes out, and its nice to have a break - playing a game, or chat, for a while. Jood

Ican wait 6 weeks Jood, I just cant take the cold. sorry I missed you on msn OH was on puta when your name poped up

Thats ok Jude2 - I was about to go for dinner and thought I'd have a peek in MSN. I'm quite warm here with aircon on - its not tooo bad, but my eyes are sore from too much strain - no not family history - but playing b*******y Mahjongg!! .. Talk about addictive !
