Oh sounds fun, Judy must be there for that one...

[judydawn]

I haven't heard of that one Uni but I am behind in my reading of postings today    Maybe I could make it Robyn 

[KarenH]

Not that I have heard of either  

Maybe Uni is giving us a hint that she wants someone to organise a SA get-together 

[CreamPuff63]

Was it an old post or a recent one?

[Amy :-)]

I think we mentioned it on the WA Retreat Weekend thread when Judy couldn't make it over. And then I think someone suggested we have one in a different state each year

[mcmich]

I heard a whisper too. Uni and I may drive over together. 

[obbie]

sounds like a good plan

[Amy :-)]

I'll be in it no matter where it is!!

[mcmich]

I'll be in it no matter where it is!!

Like me Ames, be in anything but a bath.   

[Amy :-)]

I'll be in anything but trouble

[Katiej]

I'm sure Adelaide would love to have you all come to visit.
I know I would  

[astarra]

LOL Amy - when I read Mich's post I thought 'I'd rather be in the bath than in the s**t!'  

[Amy :-)]

I'm sure Adelaide would love to have you all come to visit.
