Hi Hannah

Great to see you are having a good time, have a happy new yea,any photos yet?

Just testing, to see if it's working as per your e-mail. Went to Panto yesterday, think everyone enjoyed it, I did. Glad you are still enjoing yourself. Love Mum xxxxx

It was nice to hear you on Christmas Day - we'd forgotten what you sounded like (as if)!!!!!!! Any way less of the soppiness. Read this in my paper last week ' New Zealand is suffering its wrost drought of eligible bachelors for 80 years. According to a recent census, Kiwi women aged 20 to 45 outnumver men in the same age group by 35,000' Looks like its time to move on. Thought you'd also like to know that Simon was happy on Boxing Day as Dewsbury thrashed Batley 48 v 12.

How, strange you over there and me and dad over here celebrating Boxing Day with 5 Kiwi's, well 6 counting Trent. Guess what it's snowing, yippeeee, loads n loads of the white fluffy stuff. We were just going to set off to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park for our usual Chrissy walk and look but we may have to rethink. Ha Ha just seen them across the ways little dog going scatty in the snow, it looks like it dosn't know what it is and is trying to catch it. Not much else to tell you. Love Mummy xxxxxx.

hi everyone! glad to hear you had good christmas'! i've jus been sunbathing in wellington harbour, the weather is finally sunny, if not a little windy! but after all this is the new zealands windy city! been quite lazy recently so not much to tell. looking forward to new years now cos there is loads of people that we have met going to be at the same place! should be fun! aww i missed our christmas day n grans funny sayings. we really should make a book out of them! havnt heard from tom recently but il send him an email today, see if he was partying wi fat boy slim! jealous!!!!!!!! can someone tell alex when we get to california he can pay me to tickle his back cos im sure i will be desperate for the cash! haha! its about time mum finally got a decent dressing gown, we've all seen a few scary sights from that in the morning, eh paul?! haha! anyway teatime for me, but i bet you are all tucked up in bed! byeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! xxxxxx

It was lovely to hear you yesterday, we had a lovely Christmas yesterday and that just put the icing on the cake. Everyone was very well behaved and Grandma was on form with all her usual Peter Kay sayings, I think she's his secret script writer. It's even funnier coz she dosn't even know what she's said. Grandad just looks on in dispair. Well got a lovely new snuggly dressing gown from Uncle David and Auntie Helen, it is the softest one in the whole world, you will have to buy one when you get over there, honestly I've never felt anything like it, I'm never going to take it off, do you think they'd mind at work, perhaps it could become our new uniform. Looking forward to seeing the skydiving video, ah so that's one thing you've done more than me, so guess me and your Dad will have to try that soon. Well going for a walk, probably on the riverbank, then over to Katie and Trent's this afternoon. Funny eh, that his Mum and Dad are over here must have heard you were in New Zealand, the things people do to avoid you (only kidding). Look forward to speaking to you more when you get your new phone in Auz. Love N Kisses Mum xxxxxxxx

Hi Hannah

MERRY XMAS!!!!

I'm dead impressed with all the stuff you are getting up to, to think you couldn't even walk to the shops in England.

Hope you had a good Christmas Day, we're at your mum's now. Your Grandma is coming out with the same random comments, maybe there are some tablets we can get for her. Alex is really missing you as he needs tickling, nobody has your touch.

We brought one of Oliver's friends over from California to stay in Huddersfield. He thinks all English people do is drink and go to the pub.......as if.

Have you hooked up with Tom yet on email? He went on a booze cruise around Sydney harbour yesterday and was supposed to be spending the today on Cogee Beach with Fat Boy Slim.

Keep the stories and pics coming.
Lots of luv
Uncle David XX

Merry christmas!!!! wont write to much coz think hannahs pretty much said it all. we did our sky dive it was the koolest thing ever i loved it and wanted to go again. I would definitely to do it again if it was FREE (our fav word at the moment)!! Its christmas day YEY!! except santas been a bit lazy in New zealand and me and han have been missed out. We had a huge christmas meal and dressed up and everything lastnite which really felt festive we drank rather alot so now were feeling it a bit but i could still manage mums christmas dinner if she fancies flying it over.Its early christmas morning with you guys so i guess my bro and sis's will be too excited and be awake already (minus emily) she'll have a hangover.Anyway hope you all have a wicked day and Parents (santa for all those underage readers) is good to you. have fun and dont eat too much.xx
