Sorry, my message meant to say, if you get the chance to visit Raffles...... and after the cocktail - remember to drink lots of water !!!!! see ya, have fun, yo, get down .....
luv you xxx

Hi sweetheart, sorry you lost your latest work - don't worry, stay calm and I am sure you will remember it all and be able to send it again tomorrow when you have calmed down. I have sent you a personal email re: your Orange service plan, so have a read of that if you could. Well done for phoning Anouska on her birthday, it made her day. We are so looking forward to seeing you either in Melbourne or Sydney in a couple weeks - again look at our dates posted on your personal email, then we can catch up and give you a big hug and kisses. thinking of you always, be safe in Singapore and remember you mustn't chew gum or throw it on the pavements in Singapore or you get locked up !! If you get the change visit Raffles Hotel and have a Singapore Sling cocktail ! Have fun, love you loads, mummy and Stevo xxxxx

Hi Ashley, Thinking of you and hoping everything is OK. We went to the Bell House on Sunday for Dinner, it was nice to see Anouska home, so was Jon and Lou. Today we have been to Brookleys with Ken & Joyce, Matthew made a tomato juice for Joyce, he said it wasn't as good as the one you would have made. It was very busy there, at one time every table was taken and that is a Tuesday lunchtime. Anouska and Matthew were the only ones on waiting duties and they managed very well.
Yesterday we went round garden centres with Jenny who was looking for plants to fill her garden, she has got the gardening bug.
James sent me a photograph today of him when he was on the firearms course, I think Amy is coming home this week so he should'nt be feeling quite so abandoned.
As I have said before make the most of this trip of a lifetime, have a good time but take care, love you.
N & G

Hi Ashley. I've just sat at the computer to catch up on the latest update. It's 9pm Sunday and I'm just doing some cooking for next week. I can't type very well because I have just cut my finger chopping vegetables.
It sounds like your having a fantastic time and the pictures are great. So much of it takes us back to our holiday in Thailand last year which was so good. You would have been good on that current TV programme where they have 2 islands competing for the new arrivals, just up your street. You'll have a wonderful record of it all when you get home with this website
We have just spent a few days in Oxford with a group of friends of ours (18 in all) because the son of one couple is at uni there and needed people to go to a uni restaurant where they could practice their catering and waiting skills. The catch was that it was fancy dress - gangsters and molls, or hamsters and moles as someone suggested. If I could upload the photos I would, me in a blond curly wig with dark glasses and a brown hat and Clive with dark glasses - very Bonnie and Clyde. We had great night out, about 70 people and at least 60 dressed up. James popped over last night with Tim and brought me a painting to hang in Jenny's old bedroom, a boat on a blue background. He gave me a picture for my birthday so now I'm making a collection for when he's a famous artist and I have his first paintings. He's taking commissions!!
So, keep up the messaging, we all check in regularly, have a great time and keep safe. Love from us both xxxx

Hey Ash

That full moon looks amazing, you reminded me of wheres wally. You actually look like a packistani too.... well keep up the partying. loads and laods of love nou.xxxx missing you loads.and gonna miss you on my bday, its probably going to be the first for 20 years with out you (that sounds so weird).xxxxxxxxxx

hello dude,i'm sure you are having the time of your life by the look of it.
things all right in the restaurant is quite busy.
life in the flat is good as well and martin is a lovely flatmate.it's been bloody hard to get to find the message board but got there in the end.keep enjoying mate is something that i did long tine ago but memories are so good,always ones of the best in life to remember is all about tavelling and getting to know and meet other people and cultures is so wicked squeze the hell of it and have fun(i know you are having lots anyway).
well this is it for today dude keep it cool and up and have a drink on me.
we are having a tapas night the 15th wed is gonna be good
see you later mate

Ash, glad all is well, the picutures are great. I reckon your tan and blonde hair will be a hit with the lay-deez when you get home. Missing you loads mate, keep getting bored cos I cant just come round to see you and have a massive laugh, cant wait till you get back already and you havent been gone that long. Not a lot been going on in my life. Im back home from Amys now, so im back in the rat run. You have probably forgotten what it feels like to get up and go to work and get up and go to work and get up and go to work.....................etc etc (thats why you must make the most of your time whilst its care free and fun). Its not so bad though because i get to go and do training days where we basically just fire a load of lead down the range for 2 days and it gets me away from shift. Hopefully going on my second driving course on May 2nd so that will be good. Then if all goes well off to Fareham straight after - fingers crossed. I guess everyone else reads these as well so thanks II and stevo for my birthday present, I have been meaning to write you a little note of thanks but I keep forgetting and finding a pen in a flat owned by two blokes is never easy. I know its a bit rude of me and I do feel bad for leaving it so late. Talking of birthdays, Nou i hear your arranging a big night out for yours so I guess my invites still lost in the postal system. I hope it turns up soon. Anyway I should stop using this as a way of sorting out my social life. Ash i have been working on ways of getting some cash together to come out and see you, but so far selling jars of air on Ebay has not been going as well as I planned. Will just have to wait till you get back. Take care Ash and remember dont trust anyone who offers you genuine 'fake' Rolex watches or tells you they have loved you 'long time'. Cant wait to see you. Jimbo

hey man get on doon - hop u bin a chillin owt sinse yr fool moon parties ? dun anithin mental lately ? havunt hurd from u for a phew dayz - howz yr hed ?
Sorry Ash, can't keep that up for too long, I have to think too hard to mispell things ! We have just come back from Devon, Stevo had a Governors meeting at the school and we went to the hospital to check out Grampy as he had a few complications after his hip op, he was in intensive care for a dayas he had a bad reaction to the morphine - I know he should try and stay off the drugs, but you can't tell him !! .But seriously, he seems to be making a comeback, so if you get the chance, try and send him an email next week when he might be home.
We are off down to the French ski flat Sun. pm to empty it out, as the sale goes through on Tuesday, so that is good news. But you can still reach us on the mobile if you need to (but don't ring mobile to mobile unless it is urgent or your phone picks up the bill !) Your Princess popped in earlier in the week and collected her pressie, she is missing you ! It was Chrisies 41st birthday yesterday too, the same day as The Princess.
Your parcel of clothes arrived today, but it says 'do not open' ?? Do you want me to open it so I can hang up your suit, or do you want it left until you come back home - but that's a long time for your suit to be screwed up ! Let me know.
Hope you are starting to take care of yourself this week and having a healthier time. I note you haven't replied to my email on your personal email address, is that because I nagged you so much ?? Sorry but I have to nag sometimes - when it is important and I only have your best interests at heart.
Love you lots, looking forward to your next journal write up soon.
Take care sweetheart, Think LIVER - Drink WATER !!!!!
Love Mummy and Stevo xxxxxxxxxxx

Yo Ash, although your messages make me laugh out loud at the computer, Nanny's latest actually me cry with laughter!! I've just spent nearly an hour reading all the journals because haven't been on since 14th Feb. You are a nutter, all sounds great. Your gift of the gab is working a treat. All is well with us. Keep writing but I need to get my red pen out for your spellings - no gold stars for you! Love you lots xxxxxxxx

This is so funny, everyones on here, HI EVERYONE.
It was so nice to speak to you the other day, and me, jonny and mum were looking at your pickys the other day and they were well good. Nanny and Grandad have definately picked up the old street language, very impressed. Loving the stories Ash. Loads of love nouxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi sweetheart, hope you are still having a great time with all the no moon, 1/2 moon and full moon parties - but you haven't updated your journal since the 27th Feb so hope you haven't been smashed out of your brains all this time !! I have tried to ring you on the new mobile number Nou gave me, but I get some Thai woman yapping on the other end, so not sure if you have given out the number to your brothel instead of your new mobile !

I have received a package at home for 'Your Princess' but I don't know her telephone number to ring her to tell her to pick it up, so can you let her know it has arrived, or give me her tel. number please. Also, how long did they say it would take for your suit to arrive in the UK as it hasn't arrived yet ?

We are home this weekend if you get the cance to ring home, it would be nice just to hear your voice if you are sober enough to get to the phone !

Take care, think LIVER drink water !!!! love you, mummy xxx
