Have a fab last few days and look forward to seeing you soon! Love u lots xx

Smell Smello Alex and Garth! Did you never see Jaws? Don't get in the water! Glad you made it haha. Sounds brilliant, everything does! Ostrich riding made me laugh too, i am impressed you didn't fall off, we weren't made for extreme sports were we. Do you remember the last time you broke a toe???? Haha I was telling one of my classes that story. Skyped father the other night, I think he is missing you! Looking forward to hearing about everything when you're back and then it will soon be christmas yay. Enjoy your last couple of days, make the most of it, eat drink and be merry.

Mum Mandy Happy anniversary to you both! Can't say I'm bitterly dissappointed about the shark diving (I've read the book, seen the film and had nightmares about swimming in the sea ever since.) Alex am guessing we are going to have to take back the quad bike we bought you for christmas (seemed like such a good idea at the time!) i really hope the weather has picked up again and your having a good time in Cape Town! The white cliffs of Dover are calling so enjoy! Love u lots xx ps. Alex maybe you could give Gareth a little shoulder massage to make up for him missing out? xx

Mum Hi if Dad is not at the airport when you both arrive wait at arrivals please he will be there, xxxxxxx

Mum Hi guy's so good to hear from you again sorry for you both you have not been able to do the Shark Cage dive but with one or two probs Alex has experienced perhaps that's a good thing Ha! you have so many other memories to keep and share with everyone perhaps another holiday you can experience a visit with sharks, Alex you would be o.k with a car I'm sure easier than a quad bike, congratulations on the eight month anniversary, take care both of you won't be long before we see you your weather is breaking you in for the weather here love from Dad, Mum and Gizmo xxxxxxx

Auntie Vic Ah cage shark diving got cancelled, im gutted for ya i really am!! Happy 8 months you two.

Hope your hobbleing gets better. Love you xxxxxxx

Auntie Debbie Have not stop laughing and smiling on hearing all your antics - cant decide whether you both are a couple of nutters!!!!!!! There seems to be a little bit of an obsession about Gareth's bowels but I do hope you have some normality Gareth!! Dont worry about your sheets sweetheart, Bodger and Badger will be too knackared! Chris is away this weekend on a stag do. Joe has an interview at the new Hollister shop in Regents Street (he was scouted when he was in club in Soho) All good with Fay she is working hard as allways, I am working all weekend.

Auntie Vic Oh so bumgy jump-ok, climbing to top of mountain and coming down on rickety old ladder-ok, Riding an ostrich (you are now my bernie clifton)-ok but a bike got ya!!!!

Mum Hi to you both oh boy I would have loved to see you on that Ostrich Alex I hope Gareth got it all on camera you want to send it to "you've been framed" how are you after the cycle accident ? get yourself checked Alex poor Gareth cannot piggy back you for the rest of the holiday Ha! Gareth I guess you will be back to the gym after all this food no more bowel probs I hope i will think about you both the next time I use my Ostrice feather duster you both take care love to you both from us all XXXXXX

Mum Hi babe! Laughed out loud when I read you'd been ostrich riding! I remembered when you rode a donkey on holiday, had been the favourite to win the race and then promptly fell off!!! Which leads to the bike drama? Have you had your injuries checked out? Is Gareth going to have to piggy back you round the rest of your holiday??? Not sure about the steaks Gareth, sound like something out of 'I'm a Celebrity'! Enjoy and behave! Love you lots xx

Auntie vic Glad i amuse you dad dad. A little jakey boy arm update.... had physio yesterday hoorah he can take sling off at home and whens hes behind his desk so i have a very happy little chappy!! He went back to work yesterday and alls good there although on the downside in a moment of madness i offered to take him and pick him up from work this week so at 7.30 he shouts mum we're leaving in 10 mins!! and he didnt make me a coffee either (he will in future as it thought everyone knew that it was illegal to wake me up without a coffee) All good here i shall pop in and see bodger and badger later (and check your sheets) Love you enjoy have fun and stay close to the ground xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
