Sounds like you are still having a fantastic time. hope you survived the shark dive ok and don't have too many nightmares afterwards!!!! Thanks for your birthday card and the $100,000. Can't wait to see you. Loadza luv mum xoxoxoxoxoxox

Mary SLy I have e-mailed one but just in case that hasn't worked, I am trying this. Saw your pics. Looks as though you are having a lovely time. See you soon. Love from Mary and King, Glynneath. xxx

Christine yay.. i've been to windhoek and had windhoek beer... little mission for you.. i doubt you'll go to it, but if u want to get up close nad personal with cheetahs and other animals like that, i think you head west, past gobabis to harnas, which is where i worked, its like 2/3 hours drive form windhoek! would be amazing if you went there! you get to play with all the wild animals!!! Hope your enjoying yourself! Let meknow if you go there, its amazing! Christine xxxxx

Dad Two weeks to do exactly what you want so make the most of it! Do not forget the shark diving, I want to see a piccy of that. love Dad

Laura hi ali, im sure youre as sad as me to be coming towards the end and trying not to think about what next?!!! enjoy the last few weeks and ill be seeing you soon why is it that whenever i go away theres a heat wave in england?! nice reading your entries, hopefully you´re getting my emails laus xxxxxxxxxx I havent been able to get your emails my dear im afraid, will have to read em all when i get back. the computers over here are really bad and its hard enough just to open my sta travel site (which takes 20 mins to load up!) let alone attempt my email!!! Take care my dear!! Love you Loads!!!

Byron Hiya! Don't worry Sue, I don't think she did the tombstoning coz she was too sore. She had probs jumping off a 2m diving board prev, so can't imagine Ali flinging herself off a cliff! But, you never know! Peace and love, and all that stuff. Byron

Mum Didn't realise you went cliff jumping ( I think it's called Tombstoning here for very good reason). and whilst I appreciate your body does heal Christine it doesn't always go back to exactly the same shape as it started out so don't be too gung ho Ali! I hope you all live for a very long time and without too much metal work. It's 38 degrees today probably warmer than where you are Ali!!! But at least we can go and have a nice cool, clean shower when ever we want. Bet that's something you are looking forward to, having water without wildlife in it. School finishes tomorrow thank goodness, tho I shall miss the kids funnily enough! Still 5 weeks soon goes by, far too quickly I'm sure. Thats enough from me Bye for now Loadzaluvmumxoxoxoxoxox

Christine hey hey! Omg, you actually fullfilled the mini pact we made at netley marsh! You finally did a bungee jump! Amazing! mum and i just finished the race for life... i want to die! Sounds pretty cool what your doing...and you went cliff diving.. that takes balls.. major balls!!! take care and enjoy yourself.. and just think.. your body heals.. so dont worry if ya bash it up a bit doing sports... it always goes back!!! byeeeeeeeee xxxxxxxxxxxxx

mum Hi Ali, Thought I ought to send you a message b4 I do the Run for Life. I think I would rather do a 111m bungee jump right now. The atmosphere should be good though and its for an excellent cause. Went to see Simply Red last night they were brilliant trouble was I didn't get to bed till after midnight so I will be paying for that later (must be getting old I used to be able to cope with late nights!!!!). Hope you are still having a fantastic time. Loadzaluvmum xoxoxoxox p.s. thank you for sponsoring me for £2.00.!!!!

Steve HAHA... Well done Ali. Thats so awsome! Sorry ali's mum, but it is :-) Bravo!! Hope your taking lots of pictures. Stevexx

dave hey ali, hope ur well as u prob know i went gliding n threw up in the c*** pit !!!!!!! not pleasant!!!!! any drop us an email @ [email protected] cheers dave

mum Hi Ali. Dad very kindly phoned me to let me know you had done a bungi jump! Im glad you survived & hope you don't feel the need to do it again. Christine & I are doing the Run for Lifr on Sunday at 11.00 a.m. Should be dead by midday!! Haven't done much preparation due to the hot weather and total laziness on my part. Still why suffer more than you have to! I will pass you over to Dave now. Loadzaluvmum xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Dad I am impressed with the bungee jump, I think it is one thing that you will beat me at, as I would not have the nerve to do that. Good to hear that you are ok and having a great time. All the best Love dad

Mum Ok I have calmed down now that I have read the messages properly. If the 4 month old lion cub licked you Ali just remember it's not being affectionate I it sampling you ok? Glad you have had better luck with horses than I have Ali! Have a brilliant time at Victoria Falls. Must go now hedgehogs are back in the garden. Take care love. Loadzaluvmumxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

I have tried to email and message you every day this week and have not been successful for one reason or another I have even been trying from work (first time in my life Iv'e done that) It seems I am the only one having problems contacting you and then you get mauled by a lion???
