Liz - Emma got a B for tap and a C for ballet. school exams are out and I know Steven got a B & C and Emma got 4 x1s ,2 x 2s, 1 x3 and 1x4 so both very pleased. Not much happening back here really,since i spoke to you on Friday. so I,ll wish you both a great time in Koh Samui and look forward to the next update.

Hello you two
Sounds like your trip just gets better and better, very jealous!!
We have not been up too much. Grandma got back okay and she has had her bathroom all done, it looks really nice. She said that she had a good time but is no rush to go back down. Rachel is leaving for her happy holidays on Friday, she is away to Turkey for 2 weeks. Will be going down to Pate household on Saturday as Millie will home. Well I suppose I better get back and do some
work.
Mike is asking for you both and can't wait to try some of your cooking when you get back.
Keep the updates coming
Take care :)

Sorry for being so long in posting a message. I'm a bit of a dinosaur as far as technology is concerned.
I've been reading the messages etc on your web site and am glad to see that you're both having a great time.
Kath, John and i are off to Majorca shortly. Although I'm sure we'll have a good time it won't be as exotic as your travels in the tropics.
The football season has started and nothing changes as far as the Dons are concerned. 1-1 draws with Hibs away and Caley at home. Apparently both games were rubbish.
Russell Anderson's testimonial game is against Everton tonight. I doubt if there will be much of a crowd. Who wants to pay to be bored?
Mama has a really sore back just now and can hardly walk. It's her sciatica? playing up again. A physio and an occupational therapist have been into see her and are coming back again shortly and hopefully they'll get her back running 4 minute miles again shortly!

My index finger is getting a bit blistered now with this one finger typing so I'll stop now and get off home to see if my tea has been made.
Cheerio for now

Hey thought you'd be delighted to hear that i took your (andy) advice and im going to rgu to do accounts instead of aberdeen seeing as how got the results needed today, yay. Think catriona is going to make me a cake for my bday on thurs and im sure that it'll be just as good as the one you made last year although she wants there to be a back up option.
On the neighbours front after stinger banged sky (as john put it) they've managed to remain friends and dyl has turned all bad boy again by taking over his dads business of selling pirate dvds. To be honest you've actually picked a good time to go away as far as neighbours storylines are concerned.
John wants me to let you know that the poisoned dwarf is back from her suspension but he doesn't know if anything else is going to be happening to her.
See you both soon and have fun. xx

Hey guys! Sounds lik you're having a great time! I'm v jealous!! Just to say a quick Congrats on ur B for your tap Liz! Told you you'd do great!!
See you when you get back to hear all your stories & see all your pics!
Luv Shonagh

Hi Liz and Andy
It sounds like you are having a fantastic time over there although it all sounds a bit energitic for my liking, a good book and some music is more my idea of holiday entertainment. Ian and I are off to Ireland tommorow to see Cammy playing in the Galway Cup, I noticed that your mum said that Cammy was signing for Albion and that it was a long story, well it gets even longer, he is now signing for AFC, they asked him on Sunday and the paperwork is being sorted out but meantime it has been "sealed with a shake" as Lenny Taylor said. We are sooooo pleased for him, he can go to Ireland now and relax enjoy his game. This saga would be even longer than a neighbours update so we will fill you in when you get back. Scott drove down and back from Swansea without any mishaps and is stayiong home this week to STUDY for his resits!!!! Must go and finish packing now, look forward to your next update.

Oh oh, Sky and Stinger are about to get it on........Boyd and Janae are engaged...........and Connner has tracked down Sister Carmella, who wants to make up for all the bad stuff she has done. Mama commented on the fact that Australian nuns seem to wear very short skirts!

hello to you both in the depths of the sea.
nothing much to report here although mum quite keen to go on the advanced scube diving course at cove next week. we've still to decide although i think she would be too terrified at the thought of all those buckies swimming around. Much the same as Thailand i suppose.
Trying to keep the grass in good order although it does miss the touch of the master.
Charlie is not happy at being reduced to 6 pouches a day so has resorted to eating Isla's food. Both he and Isla send their regards to you both althouhg charlie says he doesn't fancy the diving nonsense. Sunbathing eminently preferable.
Got to go and feed him again as he's driving me to distraction (and drink ) which isn't so bad.
Hasta Luego.
Mum and Dad.

heyalo liz (and andy)! hows you doing!? sounds like your having and uber ace time! I am sooo jealous, stuck here in boring dull Aberdeen! urgh! you'll have to come in past for a cup of tea when you get back - i make ace tea these days - and tell me all about it, show me photos, etc! Enjoy the rest of your trip and i'll look forward to hearing from you when you return!xxX

Hi you's 2, sounds like you're having the fabbiest time! Your mum is through and has shown me how to send you a message, have just been reading all your escapades. Just back from Fuengirola with Steve & Emma, had a great time, will send you a longer message soon.
Take care

Lotsa love

Hello. Sorry for the lack of updates....I will try to do better!

Funniest Neighbours for ages. Boyd's back (but we don't know from where) and Karl has been searching for him so that he can get a watch back that he gave him. Izzy gave it to Karl as a gift when they were together and then Karl gave it to Boyd. Anyway it turned ou the watch was worth $20,000! When Karl eventually found him it turned out that Boyd had sold it for something 'he really needed' (which turned out to be an engagement ring for Janae). Karl then has a rant at Max, and I quote, saying 'He said he really needed something, what's that? A motorised skateboard or 2000 tight pink t-shirts?'. Hilarious. Zeke told Bree he loves her, then commented on how they aren't like other couples. Why's that? I hear you ask, well it's because they have never kissed - but Bree told him that they'd work on it. Zeke's football obsession is quite amusing as well.

As Cat rightly stated, Suse has banned Rache and Stinger from seeing each other after Stinger got done for drink driving after drinking less than one beer. Although Rach says that once she's 15 she can do whatever she wants, so I am guessing there will be some kind of hidden romance storyline coming up. This storyline is oh so very very bery wrong, he's 18 and she's 14 - yukkkkkkk!

Evil Cam has murdered a business partner of Paul, because Katya knows him 'from her past'. Clearly Katya was a prostitute, but they won't actually say. This unfortunately means that Steoh's baby belt (a tool belt for holding baby bottles - genious) won't get made.

Harold has refused to run the general store with Lou becasue he's enjoying retirement so Mishka has stepped in and saved the day. She is still trying to give up smoking.

Janelle and Kimbo are still planning their rewedding, and it's going to cost around $30,000. Kimbo is going to pay for it by continuing to sell pirate DVDs, with help from Dil - but Janelle still thinks it will be paid for with money from Dil Dogs - how much do hotdogs cost in Australia?

Toadie hasn't been seen for ages, although Conner hs been talking to him on the phone quite a lot, so it's only Ned and Conner in the House of Trouser. There are no real House of Trouser storylines at the moment, all is quiet, they usually seem to be playing pool or inthe only night club in Erinsburgh.

That's all the Neighbours related stuff I can thinkof!

Liz - Apparently lizards are good to have insdie because they eat all the horrible insects, although fare enough I wouldn't like to share a shower with one.

I hope you're taking lots of pictures, it all sounds fab!

Hi both. Sounds like hard work out there..... NOT! think we could manage to put up with the beasties if the surroundings were as nice (on second thoughts, have you ever seen Jill's reaction to a spider?). Aberdeen has got over its heatwave and returned to the usual summer weather - looks like autumn with wind rain and temps in the teens rather than twenties. They even had to cancel the Aberdeen Youth Festival Parade today as it was too wet and windy. B & J are doing well, both back to usual health and looking good. Jill has had a bit of a trial with the tests she was having done for her tummy troubles. She was supposed to have a tube inserted up her nose and into her stomach for 24 hrs to monitor things. It went a bit wrong and she has now had it done three times and just had it removed again today..... not a happy bunny!! She is also pining for Chris as he is away on a lads holiday (might as well be here the amount of time they spend on the phone.. 02 will be chuffed, it must be costing them a fortune!) Well, good luck for the dive tomorrow and enjoy Koh Samui we have friends who honeymooned there and loved it so you never know. Here's to happy holidays and hot showers!!! xx
