Hey Duggie! Ha ha Ha had to send a message after reading about your 'Bucket' experiences! It was one of them weired things we were laughing about before you went, and if a snake or black widdow crawled up it and bit ya bum! lol! sounds like it's more likely to be a tree toad/frog thing! hee hee, hey i shouldn't get too drunk there on ya rum n coke, that toilet sounds worse then the public one in Byron! haha, Now where have i seen you as pissed as that before??......I had a similar hangover/shower experience on Sunday after the Legendary Haxey Hood i told you about, You would have loved it! must admit, would sooner be where you are though! well carry on having fun, will be keen to hear about your Ozzy Zoo outing on ya Birthday, There was a Steve Irwin Tribute on at Crimbo, it was brilliant, quite moving, even to me, a bloke! ha! speak soon, mind you bum on that snake in ya bucket! hee hee night x

Congratulations miss El monoubi! I do hope ill receive an invite to your soon to be temple. I would be honoured to to meet Mr Tutan Carmoon himself! hehe! I wonder what my marrital name would be in aborigine,it would probably mean kangaroo killer or something, seen as though ive now eaten one, as well as been a willing participant, of a massacre of roo's! charming thought. At least i can count on you for logging on to my weird & wonderful adventures.That sounds great quad biking in the desert! you will be camel riding soon though, with your flowing garments eating turkish delight.& servents trailing behind! ha! Then you will catch sight of someone dragging their sleeping bag & stove through the sands & it will be me, coming to wish you well on your engagement to be future goddess of Eygpt! Its been overcast today thank god! been using a sewing machine today & its a lot harder than it looks.Aunty Pat will be impressed with my new acquired sewing skills i hope! I remember when she tried yo give me a lesson, which now i can appreciate, but then i was about as interested as lion is in eating grass! if only id paid more attention!.nothing would have sunken in anyway when i was that age.Hope everyone is ok where you are.Just been outside catching Tree frogs with my head lamp on haha! bright green they are with sticky pad toes,my only friends here! just kidding, im hoping one will turn into a hansome prince, or just a hansome man will do! Ive been wathching pride & prejadice today, so thats why im in the fairytale mode.Talk soon & keep me informed about the tales of eygpt!byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee4nowxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Buzzard!! Cant wait to see your toilet pictures!! i know just how you feel.. when i was quad biking in egypt i had a bad stomach and really needed the loo and they took me to a toilet in the desert, It was absoulutly foul!! i looked at this hole in the floor with a cloth curtain round it and i couldnt go.. I sat on the quad all way back to camp sweating going over the bumps.. The worst thing was there was a pick up truck with a man carrying a video camera following us as part of the trip so we could buy it on DVD and he kept zooming in on my face gritting my teeth with swaet dripping off my nose.. Our Lucy is in Miami at the moment doing this LYNX campain thing and im working 21 days in a row so i can get the holiday days to go back to Egypt to see my husband on the 21st.. ha ha.. Me and your Neely are getting together one weekend and going out for the night!! Should be a right laugh.. Gonna flollow our old routes and probably go down Swinton and laugh at all the Numb Skulls that still go down. Every time i go round to hers i end up so drunk that i end up doing something daft.. I also heard you ate Kangaroo!! WOW.. you should go on Something like celebrity get me out of here.. you would go down a storm!! Love you lots and lots Mrs Gemma Cleopatra El Manoubi (thats my new married name)

Im on my dinner break at the moment so i cant reply to everyone right now. Your msgs are fantastic,ive been laughing my socks off reading through them all! I wonder if someone could email me some pics of new years day, to my lottiekeaton site. id love to see them so i can imagine the good time you had.Im liking it here, so dont worry its nothing unbearable! its actually quite refreshing to live this way.Im used to the toilet thing now & when i get the chance ill be sending the pics of it from every angle haha! you have to wee in a separate attachment & take that bit off if you want to do a number two! then, im not finished yet! you have to put the lid on & roll thr bucket to stop it smelling! its a lovely ritual you soon get used to.Im riding their horses after lunch break & i think its in with my hourly work of five hours a day, cos its so hot to be riding.Stuart wants me to help with the training process though & just to be there on the other horse.I ride max a bay , so he does all the fancy footwork naturally.Im leaving here on the fifteenth to go to Beerwah. it is about an hour or so away, to a family with one daughter.It will be mainly harvesting work, but i chose them cos its ten mins from australia zoo & thats what i so good!.I will say to aunty ruth, yeh the sushi invitation sounds great! & it would be nice to all get together again.Now i can use the computer ill be able to be in touch more often.Im going to borrow abike & ride to the supermarket one day & try find a pay phone soon.The number here is-61 732027428.got to go luv you all byeeee 4now xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh my God Brooke you've gone from one extreme to another - I think I'd end up with constipation!! I think they're taking this organic thing a bit far! How are you coping with the heat? It's cold and rainy here today. Me and Unc Tad are taking Naomi, Joel and Dom to a new sushi restaurant that's opened in Peterborough tonight. Naomi and Dom can't get enough of it!! I seem to remember you loving it as well so when you come back to old Blighty you can come and stay with us like you used to when you were little and I'll treat us all to some!! See you soon, love Aunty Ruth PS Hope you, Steve, Rory and little Murphy had a great Christmas Neely - HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! Our neighbours have just got a border puppy and called it Vince Noir!

Hiya Neely Cheers for updating us :0) I was beginning to think she'd abandoned the message board!! Good to hear B is still enjoying herself and having a laugh, shes braver than me wth the loo thing!! Take care love Mxx

Just thought i'd update everyone about Bee! She is now in Brisbane with a couple who grow organic bananas, they also have goats and horses. She says its proper work where she is, clearing bushes. Their house is a shack and the loo is a bucket where she has to seperate the wee to recycle, then cover the poo with compost! Its all open plan so you can star gaze while on the loo. There is a bit of cloth to hide her but it keeps blowing up all the time! The woman is German and they share the house( or shack) with 2 very human dogs a big cat wild lizards and mice! She has to sleep with the window open because there is something rotting in the walls above her head! Even though this experience is a bit different from the others shes still laughing and enjoying herself! She says she will try and get in contact soon cos she does'nt know if she has to pay to use their laptop. (bet shes glad shes only there for 10 days). XXXXXXXX

BEE?? BEE?? WHERE ARE YOU BEE???? WERE ALL WRITING AWAY TO YOU AND YOUR NOT THERE!!

Thought I'd use the message board to wish everyone a belated Happy New Year!! as it seems to be most popular way to communicate (i also don't have mobile no's for you all) Hope you all had a good one!! Love Mxx

Hi Cave bat, I hope you are ok babyface! We were all a bit worried about you as some of your texts that you sent were blank! Neely must have kept her spacca finger on the send button because all the message board is full of her messages - so funny!! I just got the pictures back from new year's day. There is a great one with all of us sitting around the table with our paper hats on!! I was going to call Barry Palin to come and take a picture of us all as it was so nice to have us all together! It is the best that I have had up North with Michael. Neely never looks any different - she always looks so beautiful - we all had tears rolling down our eyes, laughing at Gemma entertaing us. I'm off to Miami on the 8th for a week doing the new LYNX campaign and then Michael's taking me to South Africa on the 17th January for a holiday. The idea of fruit picking sounds good - at least you will be able to spend your time outside in the sun - just watch out for the creepy-crawlies! Please write back soon, love cousin stingrayxxx
