Hey gorgeous! Hows it going? Hope you're keeping well and still having the time of your life....love hearing all about it so keep the updates coming! I bet Fiji is absolutley amazing, cant wait to see all the photos. I've been poorly with glandular fever for weeks - have been out of action for ages and having to put men, alcohol and going out on hold for a while....(its killing me as you can probably imagine!) Is everything ok with Miranda babe, how come shes coming home early? You look after yourself darling, am thinking of you and missing you. Lots and lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oops too meant to wish Miranda all the very best, and safe journey home.

Hello honey,

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful flowers, it was so thoughtful and a lovely surprise.
Good News, Granny is able to get up and walk about and will possibly be home in a couple of days! I will fill you in next time we talk.
Looking forward to hearing all about Fiji and boat trips....

love you lots. Mum

Hi Al

The islands sound beautiful, shame Miranda won't see them or anywhere else. (Hope she is feeling better)
Your mothers day flowers for mum looked beautiful and helped her through a difficult day cos of Granny's fall.
Mum is visiting the hospital at lunchtime today so we'll keep you posted.
Auntie Jane has your site details now so you may get a few mails from her too.
Nanny Joyce sends her love and says she is very proud of you.
Not seeing any pics makes the brown issue difficult to judge, are you just waiting for the red to die down?
Seriously be careful and wear a big hat!!
Can you adjust the map on the web site for a close up of the area? it would be nice to see where you are exactly.
On Footy.......Every crappy red top journalist is trying to crucify Chelsea for everything you can think of ...cheating, diving, thuggery,bullying refs, being rich, winning, causing every war and disease on the planet etc etc.
It is amazing how pure the game was before we came along.
What infuriates them is that Jose won't play their game and refuses to talk to the hacks when they write another yard of defamitory garbage. Its a giggle (next up Brummies away)
Looking forward to some pics......love you loads and loads.... Dad xxxxxxx

opps forgot to say im missing u lots and lots dude! x x x

Hey dude,
just got your text so thought id pop online and send u a message as cant write too much back in a text! sorry to hear about mirandi, i hope she is better again soon. is she planning to cut her trip short then? although i went to thailand on my own i was never alone so im sure some travellers will snap u up for company in no time. if your worried about going to thailand alone, dont be, its such an easy place to travel and so many english people there! having said that i would love to come out and see u when uni is done, that would be so much fun, providing the funds will stretch i will come out (if ull have me!!) as think we would have a giggle together! hope your still planning to come travelling again with me at some point tho - has to be done!!! not much to report from this end, just got back for easter hols, altho seth and chris are away at the mo, back tonite. managed to get myself a job through an agency for the next two weeks so really pleased about that. looking fwd to my first thurs out next week altho wont be the same without my partner in crime :-(. snack-a-jack my num is 07855942918 so if u fancy a nite out next thurs or the following ill be around for at least the next two weeks! best wishes to mirandi dude and stay in touch, dont let it get u down, make the most of it while your there, although it sounds like u definately are! lots of love Sarah x x x

haha very funny, but you so know that you still wont win when you get back. I always win!
chelsea beat man city 2-0 on saturday, but drogba's talk of the town for handballing the second one in. We've drawn liverpool in the semi-final of the fa cup to be played at gold trafford on the day i get back to uni (lol)
Getting scarily close to beginning my last teenage year! Very eerie (.....indianna?) Lucy's sabotaging the whole family unit still. Can't wait for her to go to new york so mum and dad can be happy again. glad you're having a good one in the future (not quite sure how it works either) lol

love jack

Jack- time for a brown test, I think for once in my life I might win.

hello family!

Everything is good with me, its our last day on the cooks but we have to wait til 1.15 in the morning for our flight out which is quite crap. Good news about chelsea, I'm doing my best to follow-what stage of the FA cup are we through to now? Lou-thats great news about America, thats going to be a wicked career move and I definately want to travel the East coast one day so I'm thinking some free accommodation, yey.
Mum, don't worry too much about me being alone, Miranda is definately changing her plans coz she is missing home loads but I have no intention of ending my trip early so I'm going to travel on but always with other people. Actually I'm hoping that Sarah might fancy a few weeks of thai sun? Will sort all of this out though so really there's no need to panic.
Love you all, hopefully will be able to text and ring on the mainland of fiji. Bye for now xxx

Hi Darling

Just got back from the FA cup game against Newcastle, we won 1 nil. Quite a good game but should have been 3-0 to us. Its still very cold here but apparently going to warm up soon, very sunny though.

Glad you are liking the trip this far, but a bit worried about your comments re Miranda changing her plans. Hope that doesnt mean you will be on your own, as that really would concern us. Please let us know what is going on.
Missing you already.
Cook Islands sound really different and interesting, looking forward to seeing photos.
Are you going to Melbourne? If you are then please visit the Dog Cafe and report back, I have been completely hooked on the Commonwealth Games and they show some really quirky things, that is one of them. Also there are a bunch of people living in a store window (weird or what). You will be pleased to know that the English Men have won more golds in the pool events than the Aussies, which is quite unbelievable. I am watching on your behalf.
Loads of love.

Mum

Lots of love Mum.

hey al, shame about the weather but hope you are managing to overcome that.
it's all go here, since I got back from the states i have decided i really want to work out there so have asked my boss for a transfer. not sure if they will be able to get me a visa and everything but i am so excited! who knows how long it might take to get it arranged but i will keep you up to date. i wouldn't imagine i would be gone by the time you get back so dont worry. even if i am, you can always come visit me in manhatten!!! england is so grey and dull, you re lucky not be here. are there any jobs going in the cook islands?? miss you lots ~ Lucy
