Hello Again Ally,

I am very tired....possibly due to the essay which was being finished at 5am last night, not that I am disorganised or anything! Things are very boring here. Have you seen any snakes on your travels? Lucy has bought another one...so now she has 6 (and her mum only thinks she has 2). I like the way under photos it says "here are my photos, sorted into albums with the most recent ones first"...a little ambitious me thinks (only joking!)

Anyway, I really hope are having an amazing time (although I am very jealous)

Love Sarah

P.S. RUTH, seeing as you read this more than you speak to me........Season 4 of House is online!!! It is ace, and Geoff has made me a CD of season 3. So maybe I will let you borrow it.

Hi Ally,

I'm finally on holiday, 2 weeks of nothing! You are missing the amazing new Robinhood is even better than the last one, will have to buy the DVD when you come back. Had fun in soc. ed today, are in the big hall so when the teacher left the room some of the boys took her keys and hung them from the ceiling on this weird pully thing and she didn't realize until the very end even though everyone kept shouting keys and looking up to the ceiling, don't know if she got them down. Looking forward to hearing from you again soon.

Best wishes Ruth

hi ali,

hope that you are having a great time and work out the photos! Bet your weather is better than ours. Having our fair share of rain.No general election called apparently (not that your worried).Whats the food like?Have you met anyone interesting?whats it like?

love val ralph and boys

Had our first netball game yesterday, lost but was still amazing. We are all getting strips which should be fun (you'll be glad to know the team has decided against lycra dresses so we are all going to wear old fashioned skirts and t-shirts). Am trying to think of a good nick name for the back of my team hoodie as we are all having stupid names to distract to opposition, so far the suggestions are Roo, Roo Roo, Ruthie, Rufio, Dunnzie, R.E.D, Rooie, Ruthama, Tich... hummm am not sure, any ideas? Passed my first advanced maths nab which is a relief. We have also got our sixth year ties which are extremly bright and not very popular although everyone is wearing them anyway. Am getting streaaed about my personal statement, am still not completely certain of what I what to do so is making it hard to write, (Dad and the future planner guy at school aren't being very helpful keep suggesting alternative plans for the future just when you think you have decided). Miss you lots, hope you are having a wonderful time, can't wait till you come back, am missing you, Glasgow and Millie (maybe not in that order). Wishing you all the best Ruth.

Ali do you need the insurance this weekend? I was going to leave the cheque to next weekend as the post has just started being delivered today. I can go over this weekend if you need anything and text or email you what you need. Have a good day sightseeing /treking.

Love Catherine

Please remind me - who did you want me to phone about insurance? Can you confirm which trek you will be on so I can let them know?(Granny don't worry - this is for later in the trip!)

I'm off to London then Southampton and Oxford - to a meeting but just happening to visit all 3 girls on the way!

hope the tent was comfortable...

Hello Ali....Sorry I have not written sooner...I have been dying in the library due to Pharmacology. How do you medical people cope with all these drug names!!!! Anyways, I am glad things are going well (except for the camera) It is dark here now and only 6:40 pm which is rubbish, but then Edinburgh is rubbish (only joking). Have you been able to put your excellent Spanish skills to the test yet? And Lucy wants to know if you can bring her back a boa of two (nah, only joking don't try you might get locked up like Bridget Jones )

Now you have created this blog I have yet another means of procrastination....on top of facebook, livejournal, bebo and everything else. *sighs* I shall never get any work done

Anyway, I had better go....I need to finish this before I can go home and get dinner

helllo! jsut done women's football, it's so much fun! also done women's rugby which is a bit more scary. off to buy boots tomorrow for football, then a freidn's coming. last orders at the bar now and haven't been down yet, g2g xxx

Had a great time down in Newcastle, love the city think I will apply there (it's just between Dundee and there so not really much competition). Helped out Gran in the the garden, two less plants now. Went shopping and found an amazing t-shirt which means am now penniless as it was over priced but worth it. Anyway am just about to catch the train home although will be coming back down a week tomorrow and then am going on to see Harriet and Lizzy on Thursday, can't wait. Looking forward to seeing all your pictures it sounds wonderful so far good luck with the rest Ruth.

Hello! We have rated your blog 5 star, not sure you deserved it but was nice to hear from you. Harriet is coming round for dinner tonight, we just spent the afternoon eating yummy food in borough market, can't wait for winter to arrive then we can have some of the warm spiced cider they were selling! xxx

I will get to Glasgow for Milli don't worry. All well here. Ruth has gone to Grans as she is going to the Newcastle open day. Glad everthing is living up to expectations so far. You will return full of energy and we will just be struggling on! Just had a terrible class! I need to take some leave!

Love Wog

Glad to hear you are having an amazing time although am missing you and Millie. School is as normal nothing much happening, we have our first netball game next week will keep you posted how it goes but am not expecting much. Might be going to Glasgow the weekend after next to meet up with some friends, will try and look in on your house and make sure it has not been burnt down or anything. Away hope to hear from you again soon best wishes Ruth.
