General Chat

Were you? I'd have never guessed, lol

Just a quick message from Trifley - she is feeling hazy and foggy this morning but very positive, and sends her love to you all. We had a great chat. .. She is tops! Jood

That's good news, Jood. It was probably the shot in the bum last night that has made her a bit foggy! lol

Yes, probably, she is feeling sore in places she never thought she'd feel sore - I know what she means, they toss you round like a lump of meat!

Well, I like that. Log on to the site cos GR tell me I've lots of little pm's waiting to be read, see the post up for grabs, take it, and what do I get for my efforts? Telling off. You lot should be thanking me for shutting the cat flap. Hmmpphhh !!! *slinks off, remembering to pick up bottom lip this time* ps.....love to everyone :-))

Hi Wattlers especially the Queen. Hope you are starting to feel a little less groggy now Trifley. It great to hear from you again. Laurie I am so sorry to hear about your friend. Lew, I was very busy yesterday and never even logged on. It's taken me ages to read all my emails and 8 pages of wattling today. We sold our old car yesterday, the end of another era. The silly young kiwi that bought it, drove it to the coast from here , about 55kl, without it being registered. I hope he made it without being stopped. We then went out after lunch and had tea out. All in all it was quite a good day. Tony, take the plasma thingy off layby, by the time we win there may be something else. LOL It's good this spending the kids inheiritence. Now you can borrow on your house, so they don't even get that when you are gone. I am nowing going to make lunch, will leave you with a joke i got from UK. A few more to come Subject: Gifts Gifts There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby, so he went before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck. After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the Congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church. Finally, the Preacher got up and spoke to the crowd, 'Children are a gift from God,' he said. Silence fell on the congregation. In the back pew, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, 'Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers.' And the congregation said, 'Amen.' Luv SuzyQ

A question for you, does anyone know what info death certs. from the mid to late 1800's have on them? Glad Trifley feels so positive, she would hate that foggy feeling but it should wear off by lunchtime hopefully. Forgot to say morning all, so morning all, you too Rebs nice to see you, oops watch that lip now lol Luv Jillx sorry should have put UK death certs.,

Tony, brilliant!!!!! I'm filing the reverse psychology away for future use. Ta (of course, I won't have to go to much trouble making the mess, I'll just need to hid the lollies!! hee hee ) Vonny

Jill I have English death certificates 1858 to 1901 - they all have have same format When and where died, Name and surname, sex, age, occupation, cause of death, signature, description and residence of informant, when registered and signature of registrar. A Welsh death certificate seems to be the same.although one of my females has as occupation - widow of john smith collier -which was good information to have. Good luck Anna

Thanks Anna, so they would'nt give a married womans maiden name then. cheers Jillx

Can someone please tell me what information would be contained in a 1914 Death Certificate in the UK. Terry's grandfather was of german origin and died in an internment camp. I'm having trouble tracing his ancestors. Thanks, Lew x

Sorry I cant help Lew Lew - I dont have any rellies in the UK who died in the 1900's - not that I'm aware of anyway. Why dont you ask HR? Jood

Thanks Jood. I asked on the Records Office and the only reply I got was to go look at the National Archives site which was no use to me at all! I just don't want to waste money getting a death certificate if it doesn't contain any relevant info. Lew x

Im sure Honey would know, only its 3.30am in the UK right now Jood

Well, maybe she'll read this. Cold, isn't it!

Morning Wattlers, Lovely sunny day here by the Bay, there are only two giraffes with their heads up . . . so the ports are busy! We sat on the balcony and had brunch, watching the boats . . . five cruisers tied up alongside one another on anchor just off shore - silly blighters were having so much fun they didn't notice the tide go out and they got stuck on the sand - at least it kept us amused as they dragged one another off . . then they slunk of in shame I think! Lew, I have a death cert from UK dated 1920, and it is exactly the same info as those from the 1800's (basically nothing) bit of a let down after all the info you can get from our Aust ones isn't it. Thanks for your kind messages re Denny - I am a firm believer that everything happens for a purpose, sometimes it takes longer to work out a purpose than others - I think this one will take me a lot longer to come to terms with than most. I just realized this morning that I have only cooked a breaky & a brunch in 12 days - so am going to go the whole hog for dinner tonight and cook up a treat. (have thought maybe should cook a dud so the lovely Ray tells me not to bother anymore heehee) Royal bow to our great Queen . . . hope the nasty niggles are feeling better this morning - use the drugs !!! If your in pain say so and take the drugs offered till the body repairs. ((((Lots of gentle hugs)))) Well I have a pile of ironing to get through - Ray ended up with 11 new shirts at the Great Jakarta Sale - so I have to get them ironed and sort out the wardrobe - big trip to Anglicare comming up. Talk to you all later - have a great lazy Sunday cheers luv Laurie

Good Afternoon Waffling Wattlers, Queen Triffley, how nice to hear from you, speedy recovery to you and healing Hugs~~~~~. Laurie oh such sad new about your friend, and her poor parents what they must be going through. Yvette, your not on your own with Doctor Who ect ect, my husband is a great fan and has been since it started, remember the Darleks,(Exterminate.
