G'day Sheila and Bruce,

Hope the flight was ok, just wanted to say that this time in 2 weeks i intend to be sharing a btl of wine in the sunshine with my bestest mate! Loves ya xxxx

gday mates,

hope the flight went 0.k. all josh is ever going on about is seeing you on the computer, and to add insult to injury leo has started it too.

I bought leo some cool trainers of thomas the tank engine which light up for his birthday, and some bob the builder socks.

I am now going in to the back garden to put all my little stones back which josh and leo had a great time at the weekend spreading them all over the place.

Looking forward to seeing the next instalment, i have bought you two 4 gig memory sticks so i will give them to holly.

take care lot of love, miss you loads mum xxx

Hi guys, just wanna say have a good trip to Perth and I hope u have a wicked time cuz its such a fab place xxxx

hi guys, keith is here at the moment and he sends his love, he broke an all time record the other day he went fishing and actually caught some, or so he tells us.

he is so jealous that you are now going to start your travelling in oz.

holly had a good time i think yesterday with charlotte and dean, you would have been in your element kirst as she was spending someone elses money.

Dean is once again showing off his rucksac to keith and anyone else who comes in, its just like having you and lee back with yours.

Dean is so excited not only about going to oz, but about seeing you and lee as he has missed you so much, i new he would miss you, but not quite as much as he is.

I have had an invitation to sams blessing in may, which i am trying to get the night off, but if not i will make an appearance when i finish, just to say congrats.

well must go now, hope you have a good flight to perth and i will speak to you soon.

Take care and be careful, love mumxxx

Hello, Im at ur mummys just got back from shopping where I helped Dean and Charlie spend lots of money! They both now have backpacks with daybags and a sleeping bag liner each!

Oh and u can tell ur not at home as ur mum has no diet coke!!! Cheek!

Love u lots xxxxxx

hey guys,

glad that lee had a nice birthday, never thought that you would miss my tea so much.

Charlie stayed last night as they are going shopping with holly today, poor holly i dont think that she knows what she is letting herself in for.

Dean and charlotte were taking the mick out of your dad last night, which you will know is so easy to do. He walked into the kitchen with a plate and misjudged the door frame and walked straight into it, charlie and dean saw him do it and they were uncontrolable, but you know dad, to save face he denied and and got very stroppy when we kept laughing, its a good job you and lee werent here because you laughing as well would have just made matters worse.

Donald and mandy were thrilled to here from you, especially donald.

Donna is back from denmark and i now have a danish fridge magnet, and my partner in crime to work with once again.

I am once again working monday night, but i am still going to cook a dinner and leave it for them to heat up themselves.

anyway must go now as i have to sweep up my back garden as josh and leo were playing out there yesterday and now i have to put all the stones back where they came from. speak to you soon, look forward to the next instalment, luv and miss you lots. mum xxx. ps take care.

Hey Barters - Happy birthday

After all these years you finally plucked up the courage to get a butterfly tattoo on your shoulder (or was it a dolphin?).

Mike C told me he can't wait to touch it!
