Well this is just a quick message to let you all know that we are Ok as the updates I know have been few and far between. We still busy working well I have finished work now and Burts has another week to go and then we leave for Melbourne on the 24th where we will stay until the ski season starts on the 20th June. Still not much gossip but we are having a bbq leaving party on SAturday as James and Carol are also leaving the day after us. As promised to James we are trying to hire a guitar for the weekend so Burts can entertain us all with a sing a long session.
Hope you all OK at home, it's been a difficult couple of weeks for us as alot has been happening at home at the moment that we wish we could have been there for but we are thinking of you all and love getting your emails keeping us updated. Ok better go as I'm looking after Doddy today!!

Well hi again, still waiting for that next batch of photos but guess not so much opportunity anymore as you are back in the land of the working person and not on one permanent holiday!! Well just one more week and a week off for me off to France with Eor and Lins, however also taking this Thursday and Friday off this week and going to London with dad to see the lads play (at their request as they want to speak to your dad), so that should also be nice.
Weather really picking up here we've had some really warm days but it could all change we're only half way through March.
Dad has a job in the Bahamas to do for Capt. Pugwash believe it or not, their daughter has a house there and it needs a new floor and kitchen and they want dad to send his men. So I think at this point he may be sending Eor as one of the guys! You know Ian anything for a bit of twavelling!! He may also send Chris! Anyway we'll see it'll be sometime mid May for 2 weeks.
Right I'm at Warwick so had better get on with some work but hope all is still OK with you and Dave and look forwad to hearing from you soon. Get them photos posted!!
Love yas
Mam

HI GUYS! (Brian)
Just checked out ur pics - like the one of u hadam in the washing bag, bet u have been very particular about ur washing!! living away from home again, my washing has gone bk to that non-patacake smell, which is annoying!
Glad to see u went to Minus 5 - it’s a bit of a novelty bar but worth it, bet u felt pretty wrecked when u left as the difference is temperature really affects u! Hadam I am not sure how u survived the whole 30 mins, bet u wanted to keep the cosy Eskimo gear!
Rainey did get the weekend mixed up, so seeing her this Saturday! She got ur mam to call 118 for pennygate massive 2 get my no. as she had lost her phone and told patacake about her drunken rampage and her reocuuring alcohol posioning problem!
Oh dear I really am rambling, think it is because I am very excited about the 4 day w.end!! going to south London 2night to stay with Jo, so be good to get out of bore off Norwich. Got my work experience at the BBC next week, so let u know how it goes. By the way ur place where u staying looks really nice, I'm liking the hat too Burts!
Looks like u guys had a blast on St Patrick s day...can't wait for us all to get amongst it together again!
Speak soon, lots of love londresxxx

Reading and looking at the website at Chris and Caroline, catching up on all the gos. Charlotte is home from uni and loving all the parties while she's there. The not so good news is Hazel (married to the galloping major) has got cancer now in her liver as well as her bones so not good really.
Just booked to go to France on the 30th April for 5 days, flying from East Midlands and taking Lins and Ian with us. Looking forward to that!! Then not too long to the big 50!!!!!! Yikes!! If I'm not careful I'll be 50 stone by then as well. Threatening to go back to weightwatchers but never actually got there yet.
Anyway hope all is well in Sydney and the jobs are going well. Hope you're managing to save loads of money.
Your hair looks great on the photo outside minus 5 and I love Davids hat! What were you thinking eating those sea creatures!! Yak!
Well might call you soon and catch up on the phone but till then look after yourselves and love you both!

Next year maybe we can celebrate together, look forward to that one as im not sure who would encourage who.
weve got a busy month ahead of us lots of parties, hen night etc. as they say everything comes all at once.
Well guys will love and leave you, take care be safe.

Hia,
Thanks to everyone for all my texts, emails and phone calls and cards its so nice to hear from you all especially when its your birthday and im not at home to celebrate it with you all. Was good to speak to you, karen and andrew, glad you had a good night at the NEW club hope you make it to work ok!! Me and Burts had a really nice day it was blue skies so we went out for breakfast and sat outside, then i had my hair cut and couloured and treat myself to a few clothing purchases. We went out for a Thai meal in the evening and then went over to Harbour Bridge Quay side to a club called Minus 5. It was the most expensive bar we been to but was well worth it as the whole place was made of ice, tables chairs glasses! They give you big parka's to wear and ugg boots, it was awesome even though you were only allowed to stay in the bar for 30 mins we weren't complaining as it was actually minus 15 degrees and it was bloody freezing, reminded us of home!!!
Thanks again guys love you all xxP.s Iv'e put pics on but for some reason the thumb nails are showing up blank if you click on it though it brings up the real pic but let me know if it doesn't for you and i'll try downlaoding them again xxx
Mum Dad & Ben
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR RUTH HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

Hey, how's it going both of you it's gone all quiet but your back on planet earth again now you're working, not a thought for us that have to do it all the time!!
Anyway am just back from a weekend in London with MAry and took in a show and some shopping. Bought a nice pair of black retro boots from Portobello Rd market for £20 and am loving them!
Went to see Blood Brothers at the Phoenix Theatre and loved it. Kerry Anne was good company as well. Almost nearly missed the train home as we gained the hour this weekend and never gave it a thought and got to Kings X about 2 minutes before the train left and was totally stressed out, Mary was in melt down the menopause is upon her and the heat in Lorraines flat nearly killed her.
Right this was just a brief update and I hope to call you Wednesday for your birthday, look out for some monet appearing in your account. Nanna and Pwandad have both given me money to put into your account and I'll transfer some money direct from my account, (I know I promised you some Xmas money but what I put in will hopefully make up for that!!)
Everyone is so jealous of where youare and wher you are heading for me not being the least.
