Gail I do hope you get rid of the cold without complications. I am still coughing etc but do not feel too bad.

Pleased your son had a great holiday Rolanda. I have not been in contact with my son yet to see if he is home OK. Just guess I would have heard if he was not home. (Melbourne)
And I do not have to do his washing!!!!

Lucky you June.. no after effects of children travelling.. hehe

SA5, haven't been around much lately, so hope you are all well or at least recovering. Has anyone heard from Mamacita since her post yesterday?

Taking a short break from the cooking and cleaning....

Rolanda you are such a softy!

Gail, feel better.

June, I hope so! I can't wait for high school!

June, I used to work with a guy who took every suit he owned with him when he went on business trips - even if only overnight - and got them all dry cleaned on the company $. You could hint to hubby....

I won't do it in case someone has already sent a message, but if noone has Cyndi's email addy, she might have her page set up to have private messages sent there...

Cleaning????

speaking of cooking !!!

Gail.
your fortnightly Menu has not been posted, I know you are not well..
but is that an excuse in not feeding us !!!

Suzy. MizT has sent an email to Cyndi..

Cleaning and cooking for a party Rolanda - all junk food!

Have to admit that there hasn't been much cleaning though....

Susy

Sounds good gail. we are all now fed for the fortnight.
We are having Christmas in July tonight at the bowling club. Feels like an Northern Christmas(miserable day in Sydney) and more a night to stay home by the fire than go out.

Sorry 'G'ail.

That's ok June, call me anything 'cept late for dinner!
Takes more than a missing capital to make me hold a grudge!

Hello to anyone who is around..
Just absolutely poured rain here.
Had to take son to work in it.
Now one of us will have to go and pick him up at 9.30pm.
With a bit of luck it won't be me.
Glad to hear the mail got to you Gail.

Had a good 'Christmas in July' night and even better when I won the meat raffle.
Might now go and have an early night.

Good morning all! Meghan arrived safely! She got in at 3:30am and called me on skype. (9pm my time) The hardest part was getting from the Cairo airport to the apartment. The taxi driver was scarey and then she had to walk 2 blocks with her 2 suitcases, backpack and pocketbook. The 12 1/2 hours More...

Gail, I hope your head cold clears up quickly!

June, I'm glad your toe is feeling better. Christmas in July sounded fun!

Suzy, I wouldn't give each guest $100 certificate. If they are playing any games, you could give little prizes to the winner, like a cd or something your More...

Good Maen, sudoluland! Coffee is on, and smells yummy today. Come have a cup and sit a while.

Stella, know you are happy to hear from Megan and know she has safely arrived at her destination. Wonder how long she will sleep to More...

Thanks Stella, but a cold is a small thing in the great er scheme.
I am so pleased you have heard from Meghan. I am sure that is a huge load off your mind.

MizT, you are welcome anytime. The only rule is you have to let me know by 4pm so that I can take more meat out to defrost if necessary!

Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th July to our USA friends and a happy day for the rest of us.
Stella why didn't Meghan eat anything while she was at the airport? there are some nice places to eat in there and some are not too expensive.

Morning all!

I'm glad Meghan arrived safely!

The gift certificate comment by hubby was tongue-in-cheek. He was trying to find a way to express his frustration at the way these girls are treating d2. I have 'prizes' for games - twister, egg toss, statues.... For the goodie bags I have knitted a bunch of mocks (mobile phone socks) and put the usual lollies etc in them.

MizT, I am glad to hear that Mamacita may be reading some of the posts sending her thoughts and wishes even if she isn't up to posting herself yet. I hope she and her beautiful family are okay!

Good morning all. Happy 4th. of July to all our American friends.
Glad that Meghan has arrived OK.
I am sure Mama will be back to us when she is ready.Our thoughts are with her and she will know that.
I am sure the party will go well today Suzy.
