Sorry Laurie!

Too much on my mind, wonder why.

I meant that my rash comes out when John says " There's a button missing from this shirt" In other words, I hate sewing!

Now girl, behave yourself or the wickers will need changing.

No, Auntie Mo I'm sorry, I was trying to make a funny

I knew what you meant & I know what sewing is, and like you I prefer not to do it.

Relax Auntie Mo, everybody is going to have a GREAT time, & I'll bet nobody notices if the floors don't sparkle & there's dust on the furniture, but if you want I'll come help you get ready... just send me a ticket please

Sewing? I thought that was what the dry cleaners were for? They sew all my tears and missing buttons. I don't even own a needle or thread!

You girls had me giggling as I read through all these posts. Thanks for the laugh after a busy, tiring day!

I know, this place was rather a riot today, I was busy rearranging, but had to stop every so often for a laugh.

Thanks all, makes the rearranging go faster

Laurie Lou, you are a little tinker! There's me, trying to make everyone understand my humour and you're winding the tripe out of me!

Kind offer of help btw, I'll just get a wee ticket printed for you now.

Pick up my shopping on the way here, will you? Just a few loaves and fishes, that should feed the multitude eh?

Andrea, this is the best place to visit when you're feeling tired and overworked. Don't you feel great when realising there's bigger nutcases in here than us? I do. hehe

Er, I have some bad news for you all. Well I hope it's bad news anyway.

I'm afraid I won't be there next week. Don't all shout at me at once. I haven't fully recovered yet from the infection I had, and the thought of travelling is giving me nightmares. I've had to cancel the flights, and I am very upset that I won't be part of the fun. Mo has said she will video you all having a ball and send it to me so I can see what I missed.

At least with me and Nev not there you'll all have more room and more food, and you won't have me chasing you round telling you to put that cigarette out.

I'm hoping to get over later in the year, maybe Christmas, so Mo hasn't got away with it all together.

Have fun all of you and don't get too drunk, I don't want to be hearing about your depraved antics on the 10 o'clock news.

How disappointing for you, Poopsie, and I know Aunty M will be upset too

but on a totally personal note - if she can make a video for you,
she can make a video for me - hey,
SHE CAN MAKE VIDEOS FOR EVERYBODY ! ! ! ! ! !

What say you, MoMo ? ? ? ? I want movie pics of every one wearing their own personalized
Wonderland Gang Wickers ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Ooh, I've opened my big mouth again, haven't I?

Cat · Post by **Cat** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:41 pm

Ann, Auntie Mo making everyone a video sounds good to me. How about it Auntie Mo?

Please, I wanna see everyone in there wonderland wickers. You can burn mine on a cd.

All of you that are going have enough fun for everyone.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:44 pm

Oh dearie, dearie me! It's bad enough that Nev won't be coming Poops but all those video tapes I'll have to send. ARGH!!!!

Honestly folks, Poops hasn't been feeling the best for a while, she was holding on in the hope her situation would improve. Sadly it wasn't to be and she cancelled her flight today.

I will take footage of the weekend for her though, at least she'll get a good laugh at our antics.

Ann, one never knows what will come flying through your door.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 6:48 pm

I promise to post some pictures for everyone, if the Alan Wicker group agree of course.

Okay Kathy?

Cat or Kat

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 7:35 pm

Awwww poor wee Squiggly Tweetie Pie, you know Auntie Mo loves her kittens. Purrrrrfect in every way.

Stop trying to get round me, you know what a sucker I am with animals. hehe

Well Rose, no need to worry about the number 13 now, it's 11.

Please don't let anyone else back out, I can't eat all this food.

the cat · Post by **the cat** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 7:42 pm

Are the Doctors going to try the hospital again?

Real sorry to hear your not going to Aunty Mo's

Get better very soon.

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 8:22 pm

Maureen,

I will live my life with the number 13, with pleasure, if Pauline is coming to the convention. So eleven is now my unlucky number.
Really Pauline a wish you could come.

Rose (with a tear)

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 8:25 pm

Oh Popo - what a shame. Hope you get better soon.

I'll send you some pix too, if I get a moment to take any photos.

I'll be the Health Police for you and tell them all to put their fags out ...

mette · Post by **mette** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 8:27 pm

Oh no Popo. That's very bad news indeed

I'm very sad to hear you're not feeling well. I hope you get better soon

We will miss you at the convention and I'm sure you're not happy about not going, but the most important thing is to get well

I'm not religious, so I can't put you in my prayers, but I certainly wish you all the best

GET WELL SOON, POPO!!!

Mette

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:26 pm

I just dropped in to say See you soon to the twelve other convention-members and Goodbye to the rest of you nutters.

And then such sad news. I'm very sorry for you Pauline

I'll drink a Guinness on your health and hope you'll recover soon

I'm off now to pack my backpack, get some hours of sleep and in about 12 hours I'll be in Ireland.

Auntie Mo, have you blown away the clouds already?

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:37 pm

Bon voyage Lutzy - watch out for Leprachauns in your tent at night - they might nibble your wickers and more!

See you next week - have a lovely break in Ireland - you will love it!

Poops - sorry you are not coming. Hope you feel better soon and will be able to make the next one. Kaz is holding the next convention in her wickers

kaz67 · Post by **kaz67** » Thu Aug 11, 2005 10:59 pm

hee hee .. they're big enough

SharonM · Post by **SharonM** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 1:42 am

I'm so sorry you won't be able to go to the convention, Popo.

I know you reslly wanted to attend. I hope you'll be feeling better soon. You'll be in my prayers.

laura n. · Post by **laura n.** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 2:15 am

Popo, I'm sorry your still fighting, the same battle, I really hope you get better soon, as always I'll have a good thought for you.

You really didn't want to see all these people dancing in their "wickers"
anyway, now did you

ann3120 · Post by **ann3120** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 2:38 am

It isn't that she didn't want to see every one dancing in their undies

remember - she's meant to be srcubbing Aunty Mo's floors. Why do you think I'm not going?
I'd love to see all these crazy people, but I'll tell you a little secret. I was the #1 choice for floor scrubbing,
and when I ducked out and shirked my duties, then Popo got picked.

(Drum roll - threatening, scary music) Who will be picked next - do you think it might be you

Think carefully before you board that flight - the floors are dirty, the mop and bucket are waiting.
Who will be chosen?

the cat · Post by **the cat** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 3:15 am

Ann your a super nutter tonight.

Rest girl.

popo · Post by **popo** » Fri Aug 12, 2005 8:29 am

Thanks for feeling so sorry for me everyone, but I'm not exactly ill. As far as tests go, I'm all better, but I just have no energy, feel tired all the time and keep getting hot and bothered. I think the infection took more out of me than I thought and it's taking me a long time to get fighting fit, and, believe me, you need to be fit to keep up with Aunty Mo.

BTW, you'd all better start learning Irish songs, cos Mo and John make a habit of making you sing for your supper. Secretly, that's why I'm not going.

Bon Voyage Lutz, and don't get lost before you get to Mo's house. It'll be easy to spot, it's the one with the tartan wickers flying from the chimney.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Sat Aug 13, 2005 8:00 pm

Erm, Irish AND Scottish Poops.

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone sang a song from their homeland?
Oh, I've just had another idea....... Not tellin'

There could be a nice wee surprise for everyone on my email list if Poops son does me a favour. He is willing to try it out so watch this space in the next few weeks.

Back to the drawing board for more mischief. hehe

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 1:48 pm

Just two more days to go

kaz67 · Post by **kaz67** » Wed Aug 17, 2005 2:42 pm

Maureeeeeeeen !!!

Can we just get one small thing perfectly clear

KAZZA CAN'T/DON'T/WON'T SING

There - that's cleared that up

Just back from town with some new clobber - better rip the labels off and hide them in the back of the wardrobe for the obligatory "I've had them months dear" speech when I pack

I make it about 47 hours now til you have to stick kettle on pour moi
