Breast Painting??!! Are you sure that after the free champagne you girls didnt get involved?!! Those are the tales you can shock the grandkids with in a zillion years time - perhaps keep photos to yourself tho!! Nothing great to report from liverpool. Even the usual excitment of going to the liverpool v man u match at the weekend has been slightly dampened by memory of being in Big Blue to watch the last game those teams played together :-( The moral of the story Sam, enjoy every second while you are away and make great great memories (wherever possible without resorting to breast painting!) Love you and miss you! Rebs.xxxx

Hello all of you on your way to the blue mountains we think by now. It was great to see your photos of Sydney and it looks amazing! They really know how to make lemon meringue pie and imagine travelex following you all the way to Oz Jen. Weare all fine and are thinking of you often. Lots of love Mum and Derek

Hey girls! Love the pics of Sydney! When I went I stayed on Manley and took the ferry every day - its nice to be reminded of it! Please post pictures of you in the sexy boiler suits they make you wear when you do the bridge walk!! And go on the scary train ride to see the 3 sisters at the blue mountains! Wish I were there! Keep up the good work girls - we dont want that bridge falling down! love you all xxxxx

Hey chicks! I must say all that cake has certainly made you girls strong - to hold a bridge like that with not even a sweat is impressive ;) Loving the journal entries! As promised desperate housewives update - Lynette is convinced that her new neighbor across the road is a paedophile, so she has told the grumpy old lady and she is spreading the word. Gabrielle has a new project where she teaches really ugly kids to be models - very pc there! Susan went to her new mans house - which is massive and slapped the butler. oh and brie found out that the lady who was in the morgue ages ago did know her new husband as they had an affair together, so she kicked him out! All very exciting! Hope you are all well and look forward to the next update! Take care, Love xxxxx

I'm enjoying your travel messages very much and I love the photos. It all looks very sunny and you are obviously having a wonderful time. Continue to enjoy yourselves and take care. Love Gran

Haha! Don't forget the advise Mike and I gave you with regards to the compass Jen!! Looks like your all having an amazing time. Sarah and I weren't very creative in the end, we just stuck to the wine!! Keep the entries coming and take care. xxx

Hello all of you in Sydney. We are looking forward to your next exciting installment and seeing the photos of Sydney and the bridge walk. Hope you are all taking care of yourselves and that the hostel was much better bondi beach. lots of love mum from rainy england xx

Pezza, Looks like the weather is amazing and you are having an amazing time. I am incredibly jealous as you can imagine and seeing all the things you are doing makes me wish I didn't have a dissertation, had some money and could come out and enjoy Australia again! Have you been to Bondi beach? I didn't like it, prefered Manly island much more. Take care darling xx

Hi Sam (and friends) So good to hear from you last night / your today. We are really enjoying following your travels, although Melbourne highway sounds a bit scary, did you drive? Dad is very impressed with your new found mechanical skills - previously unknown!! Guess who is going to be looking after the mini when you get back? The bridge walk sounds exciting, you should have a good view of the sailing from up there. Have fun on your trip to the blue mountains. Take care and have fun Lots of love Mum and Dad

Hiya Jen (and friends) We just can't believe that you met some of the Neighbours cast. So, so, so jealous as we try and get home every night to watch it! Love the picture of Boyd - what a hunk, did you get to meet Steph as we think she is a honey! Glad you enjoyed Great Ocean Road, some of the pictures were very similar of the ones we've got!! Enjoy Sydney! Take care xx

check you kids out sambo perry! obvioulsy your adventures don't compare to a friday morning of law tutorials-clearly i'm loving it!! wow-all looks so much fun down under! though i do find it a tad rude you're complaining how hot it is-i'd kill for the opportunity to sun burn! are you driving much or leaving it up to the others?? this message, journal thing is amazing-so great to see pictures as you go on your journey and might i add you're looking lovely! love in all its splendid glory to my friend sammie xx

Hello peeps! Glad to hear that you are all suitably jealous about our neighbours day and night!! They all looked a lot better looking in real life by the way - even Toadie! Stuart - It was amazing and yes i can now come home as i have done the main thing i was excited about before going travelling!! Although, i was excited about the campervan too so i'll stick it out until New Zealand for that!! Glad to here Luke is sleeping more - is he still sucking people's faces or is he through the teething phase?! Hayley - Are you impressed?! I used it to cut tomatoes and everything!! Yet to use compass - will keep you updated though!! Emma - It is almost to hot too sunbathe here, although we are all trying our best! But we probably won't be able to show off our tans to you all as we are going to New Zealand after Fiji which will be cold, rainy and perhaps snowy (bit like England really!) Lynda - Karl was very funny as he was trying to be all hip and young but just looked like an old man with grey hair jumping up and down!! We watched our first episode of Neighbours yesterday, which made us extremely confused! I won't tell you what happend as i think some pple will get annoyed at me but they have about 5 advert breaks in one episode which is rubbish! We arrived safely in Sydney and are now staying in Bondi Beach area which is rather nice! Lots of Love Jen xx xx xx xx xx
