Mum & Dad Hi Beck, Sky diving photos look amazing. Sorry our reaction was a little restrained when you phoned just after you had completed it, but your call woke us up!! Have booked Chaing Mai hotel, just waiting for confirmation, and will choose Bangkok hotel today .As soon as we have all the details we will email you with them. Looking forward to seeng you in 2 weeks or so love M&D

Sammi Heylo missy, Thought that I would write you a wee message to say that your a cow and your having far too much fun. I have just had my half term and I had a flipping cold :( so I was dosed up to the eyeballs and drinking lots of white wine. Sounds like you are having a fab time!! I DID get your email, but it somehow got abandoned in the darkest depths of my inbox - just goes to show how important you are. Well, I shall reply to it - when I'm not feeling so s***ty and the message will not be very bitter. Smeee xx

Zaz Hey beck, cant believe its taken me so long to post u a message. Glad ur having an awesome time, missing u and pix lots and lots, really wish I was there! Very jealous u went to the neighbours set and met the cast - did u see Dylan at all?! (yes that is a little reminder on how bad my taste is....unfortunately it hasnt improved much!haha!) Also very jealous that you have been clubbing loads and doing the stomp! Anyhoo keep in touch lovely, all my love and hugs, Zaz xxx

Helen (LL) Hello honey, I am still very jeaous and really glad you are enjoying yourself. Did you know that Sabine had a little boy called Oliver? I have not seen him yet but will send you pics when I do!! We are all missing you very much.xxxxx

Emm Hi Beck Glad to hear you're well and having a brilliant time. Your photos are great and you look really happy. I love the one with the koala bear - can you bring one home please? I hear Newzealand isn't as lively as Aus and a bit colder, but make the most of it - at least it isn't wet and dreary England ! Your Mum and Dad came round for dinner last night and your Dad is feeling VERY delicate today (will he ever learn?) He's just inspected our septic tank so I'm sure that will be either kill or cure for his hangover! El is up to her neck in Uni work at the moment, Ollie has gone back to Bristol and Harry is quiet as a mouse so life is a bit dull in the Short household just now. Have lots of fun and looking forward to seeing you later in the year. Lots of love Emmx

Laura Hey matey, Hope you had a great time in Oz sounds like it! Carry on the madness in New Zealand! Have a great time matey, missing you and the pixie one, Stortford isnt quite the same. Tullochino

Ellen Hi Becky! Happy New Year! Looks like you had a lovely Christmas and New Year! Mine was really nice! Was great to see my family and really relax but Im back at work now and the holidays seems like a very distant memory! Great Wall of China sounds wicked! Ive always wanted to go there! Hope your foot is healing! Love Ellen xxx

Mum & Dad Looks like you had a great Christmas, hope New Year lives up to your expectations. Did you catch up with Siobhan? We're really jealous of you being warm and looking at the fireworks over the harbour. We might go to London and watch the fireworks on the Thames, but it won't be quite the same. Think of us and have a glass of that cheap Oz fizz. Looking at Thailand flights over this weekend. We'll look at the last week in Feb and the first in March OK? We will need you to be more definite though, speak to you soon love Mum & Dad
