Oh, thank you everyone -- yet again! You must all be heartily sick of getting messages from me by now.

We never get sick of being able to help folk,just yell out if you need further help 

Cheers Janette

Will echo Janette, that is what the Board is for.

Might just have to experiment with TT's and cream cheese.


Cheers

Here you go then! 

1 pkt Tim Tams
100 gms Cream Cheese
Put through food processor
Roll into balls - chill in fridge
Dip into Chocolate Melts and put on baking paper to set - that's if you haven't eaten it all by now!

You can use White, Ordinary or Dark Chocolate, or White, Dark or Ordinary Tams. Your choice!!

They are really, really nice, and very easy to make!

....Printer ran out of ink when I was printing off the forms for BDM!  Yay! So then I decided to ring them, the CSR I got was the one who had replied to me and sent the forms! What were the odds of that! 

He did it all on the phone for me!  So I'm a happy Chappy again! No more rantsies! 

Thanks again for the tip KHP!  🌺

This is probably a stupid question from this newcomer -- but is there any way of identifying the area a birth took place from the information supplied on the New Zealand BDM site please?

Although I can see that parent's given names are provided - which is really helpful - identifying potential siblings can be a bit hit or miss, unless there is a clue as to the area of birth. I cannot see that at the moment.

(I am currently looking at the wife of George Arthur Butler - Mary McLaren Palmer, b 1892 - and she has 15 potential siblings! Phew - I feel a headache coming on!)

Many thanks
Pennines

Hi Janette -- thank you again, I am keeping you busy  -- yes I was counting Mary Mclaren Palmer as the person -- with 15 potential siblings -- 16 children in all.
 
I am not sure though, that they are all one family -- there is a Jessie Victoria and a Jessie Evelyn - unless the first one died (OR unless they forgot they had already used the name Jessie!)

After all they had used about 37 christian names altogether. They each had at least 2 and some had 3 -- I particularly like Albertina Decima Madeline! Imagine calling out at the door to that child to come in for her meal!

Definitely got a headache now.

Cuppa and a lay down needed
