Carrie you have forgotten to mention we have 2 more cameras full of shots of dubai, ha ha ha , all the bloody best.

Hello,

Ahhh.. Thanks Ledds and Tina, and thankyou to Pat and Irene for my cards, and girls at HH for my book.. and to everyone who has wished me luck and thought they would have seen the back of me by now, Cunns, HP, morrisons posse, so sorry still here! some picures of the leaving do should be on, was great!:-)
Back in leigh after my hols in dubai, was hoping to come home and find an Oz working visa on the doorstep, but not to be, just have to have a few more weeks lying in until dinner, and going out every night.. ooh its a strain!
Dubai pictures "should" be on the site now ( if you are one of the lucky ones and have not heard all my stories 3 times already, is there anyone? they kinda paint a picture of what it was like. ;-)
Highlights were, 4 girls from leigh sat in the Burge al Arab 7* finest hotel in the world for afternoon tea, and then popping up to the 27th floor for cocktail( just one at £15 each) ... , Salsa dancing, playing double dutch with a pretend skipping rope and a very nice boy from New York, limbo dancing, and doing hop scotch in the swanky nightclubs, (where we got in without queing and paying sometimes too).... .... breathe....drinking champagne, Suffering b****** cocktails (they really were called that, and we did suffer too) and eating in loads and loads of lovely lovely restaurants. We shared the pool with Michelle Heaton and andy Scott Leigh one day and ate in the same place as Gordon Ramsey.We had our photo taken with the captain of Germanys world cup football team, is his name Lofus Matteus or something, and him and his wife were very nice, anyway Gordon Ramsey was mythering the life out of him and he prefered our company instead! he he;-) Like you do! Put that on your grill and burn it Gordon!
Actually GR was alreet, you would have liked him Diane K!
The beach was beautiful, water like a crystal clear warm bath, and it was 100 degrees every day, with a great wind to keep you cool. Sarah, for those of you who not bored yet and are chancing a look at the photo's, is NOT Asian..Just got one hell of a tan!
We owe a big thankyou to Joey who let us stay with her again! & hello to Marcello who got us out of a tight squeeze one night with a member of the Royal family. "jungle cats,west branch, salute you". Joey, my e mail address is on the site somewhere incase i dont have my phone in Oz. Apologies to all the restaurants that we may owe money too, that did not catch us as quickly as some. Everyone at work knows not to let me have the kitty or work out any sums, but I did make a few accidental "savings" this time, so think on at work; Christmas party, let me handle the money! :-) can hear Lisa and Michelles response from here!

Anyway! We never stopped laughing for 10 days and had a great great time.. one of the best! Very very lucky girls:-) and it was priviledge for me to have their company. love you. xxx

The pace has only slowed down a little since getting home, never in and love it..off out to Manchester tonite.. the Aussies I spoke to on holiday laughed their heads off when i told then were I was going, so it might be long stretch between e mails and possibly any activity out there at all!..technology is prett ee slow i believe, which probably suits me, but I cant still honestly cannot wait, its such an adventure! will post it when am finally off..
Good luck with the move Vic, Benz and Dylan, and get well soon Youngy!
For now, Happy Birthdays in date order to Dan, Diane, Charlotte, Patsy and my lille sis Jennifer(xxx) glad will still be here for the family do at Nicks..lots of love to everyone..x
