Jen said :  Hey fellow Texan, Tonya!  I've been able to use "budge up" 
and "budge along" in context (I think).  Oh, and "enough to be going 
on with....".  I don't think I'm brave enough to attempt Wotcher, 
yet.  

Also waiting to use Ruddy and "All right then?" instead of the 
American version, "Are you OK?" or "everything alright?"

 Now Tonya:   Waving HI!!   OH yes I need to use the "enough to be going
on with...".  "All right then" I have used!!  Usually it gets used at
the end of a conversation with a small sprinkling of sarcasm so I am
still having trouble remembering to put it at the beginning!!
