Hey hun...

Soz for the delay in replying - been off line for a while! Glad you're still having a good time! Can't believe you're in NZ already! I am sooo jealous every time I read your journals :-( but work going good - they're a really social bunch - can you believe I have not been back in the Stonehouse since the last time I went with you?! Tom is going to wonder what is going on...or maybe he'll just be glad of the time to enjoy his job without me putting in lots of requests! ;-)

Miss ya loads! Have fun!

Hi Bex!

Take care

Hello Becky,
hope you r all right!!
Your airport story doesnt sound like much fun but I can read that youve got an exciting time. Ive just a few R&D updates for you. Yesterday we had VIPs in R&D for a shareholder meeting and therefore the days before many people worked on building up fakes (like fake trials and fake RVAs for me). The tearoom was changed into a showroom for different cereals and there are new pictures on the wall in the corridor (included a picture from tescos finest musli Im really proud of you ;-) ). But the food we had for lunch was very nice and quite posh too.
Do you already know that Lisa Cousins is also pregnant? So now we have three mothers-to-be in R&D. Tim is leaving today and Im honestly a bit sad and emotional as it shows me how it will be when Ill leave in 5 weeks.
Hopefully we meet before I return to Germany!!!

Take care,
Andrea

Whatto Cobber (hope that applies to both girls and boys??),

Just can't believe how much you and Ali are doing. It all seems like great fun. Sorry to hear you were sick on the boat on the reef...i hope you had a "bag" with you...or some very understanding fellow passengers!! Bet you have some great pictures....very dashing in a wetsuit?

I have often wondered what it would be like to sleep in an airport overnight.....I guess it is definately something to avoid if possible. The airline sounds similar to easyjet or ryanair...no seat allocations and lower priorities for departure (are'nt you going with Easyjet to Barcelona??).

Looking forward to hearing more from you. FYI temp in Christchurch around 6 degrees, hotter in Auckland for the next few days.

Byee

Hi Becky,

Have just caught up on all your entries, computer has been down for a while. Sounds as though you are having a whale of a time, wish I was with you. You have accomplished so much in such a short time you must be pretty tired!

I have been entertaining the kids as they are on holidays, back to school Tuesday yay! Life will be back to normal then until the next hols in sep.

From what Andrea says it sounds as though nothing has changed since you left CP, I dare say nothing has since I left 3 months ago. Time has gone so quick!!

Better go and do something with the kids otherwise they will spend all day watching tv.

Take care, missing you loads

Hello Becky. Cairn sounds a lot of fun. I'm not suprised you were sick,what with the wind and waves. We felt sick just reading about it.!!
Pleaed to hear that the Aussies are looking after the old folk.!!
We are all very envious of your trip especially as we are alll sweltering in this heat. A dip in the sea would be heaven. Hope you are not mistaken for "Down and Outs" at the airport.
We are looking forward to Mum's graduation on Thursday, but will miss your dulcet voice cheering her on. Have a good time in Brisbane .

Lots of love Grandma and Dadcu. xxx

God knows what I did then, but obv hadn't finished my message. Will's mum's pc and I dont agree! Anyway, as I was saying, hope the flight to B is ok and look forward to reading more about your exciting adventure! Take care dear,
love me and Wilma xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hiya, we are in Hong Kong atm on our hol, just read all your entries. Glad to hear you're having a great time! How are you and Ali getting on? What did you and Harold B talk about? What is your embarrassing tale? The train journies sound horrible. How exciting - you met Nemo. Will would like to point out that the weather is so variable because Oz is a huge country! Still, like yourself, I too am surprised at the vast difference in weather. Hope you managed to hang out without arousing suspicion before you could check in and that

Hi Beck!

It sounds like you had a great time snorkelling + your other trips. Sorry to hear about your sickness on the boat :( Would love to have witnessed you getting changed into your wetsuit though on a rocky boat!

Glad you enjoyed your trip with the OAPs on the coach!

Hope you have a safe journey tonight. You will be shattered if you are planning to stay up all night!

Take care
Love Mumxx

P.s couldnt help but laugh at the thought of you trying to get changed on the rocking boat.. reminded me of the one we had when we were all trying to fish in Malaysia!
snorkeling sounds soooo much fun :-D

Hi Bex

Hope you had a great time snorkelling. Look forward to hearing about it. Misty has been up to his usual heroics again! Louise set the fire alarm off (again!) and he shot out the back door and got under a bush. He has not been seen since! Don't think he will ever win the superdog award!

Miss you.
