Well Christmas has come and gone plus we are looking forward to NYE. The house and car are both cool. Had a problem with the car last week, it kept over heating which was v. funny as we had to keep stopping and putting water in! Fortuneately Anthony, one of our housemates has a friend who is a mechanic so we took the car there anticipating something drastically wrong and a big bill but it ws only a cracked water hose. It cost us $50 which is 20 pounds! He also checked the car over and said it's all cool! We were v. relieved about that becausein March we will be driving down to Melbourne. Anthony is going sking in Italy in Jan for 7 weeks so we are going to move into his flat (he over the garage, he is builder so has re-fitted it and it's really nice). It also means we will have more of our own spave and our own TV because Dave our other hosemate bought a U2 DVD last week and has watched it like a million times! Everytime we come home he has it on!!! Nightmare! You have probably all seen the photo of the spider! That was what awaiteed us when we got home on xmas eve night! We didn't go to sleep until 3am as we were 'dealing' with it! We have just been hanging out relaxing this week been to Avalon to the bechwhich is really nice. I have been slip, slop and slapping the factor 40! Whilst Chan has been toasting her self and not burning! (Not fair!) It has been v. hot and humid the last couple of days but today has been, dry and sunny which is lovely. We hope you all have a really great New Year, we are going to the Harbour where they have a big party and fireworks display. They also have a laser show over the Harbour bridge, so we rare really looking forward to that. Will post more next year! HAPPY NEW YEAR LOTS OF LOVE CHAN AND DAN XXXXXXXX
