Hi Charlotte,

Well done both of you with your exam results. Now the difficult thing is to maintain/ improve on this for next year.

We can see from the message board and pictures that you are having a great time. We are interested to know what you have bought us ( according to your text)!

What are you plans over the next few weeks. What places are you going to see? and where exactly are you staying? What has the accommodation been so far? and what sort of places have you been eating at? Are there lots of English turists around? or are they from all around the world?

As mentioned in my text message we finally booked our holiday (Dom Rep) we are all now looking forward to this. We all need a holiday!

Amelea has just finished her dancing classes for this term. She did a performance at St Augustine school (next to your old school). She seems to be really enjoying this. Her school report was very good, so they are happy to keep her on for the next year!!!! Amelea came 2nd in her long jump at the school sports day.

Martin has finished his football for the season. The teams tournament record was 43 games played, 33 games won, drew 10 and lost none. Not Bad!! His is now into his cricket and is playing every Friday night at Wycombe Cricket Club.

They seem to spending most of their time here at home, on the trampoline. LOL!!!!

Saw the family last weekend in Taunton. They all seem well incl. Granny. Kia is growing fast and Hannah and Lee are looking forward to their new house.

Look forward to you next chapter of the holiday..

Regards Dad

Hiiiiiyaaa!!!

Well a bit of catching up I've had to do today. I'll try and remember everything I wanted to comment on!

Firstly, congrats on the passing!!! Woop! Knew you had it in you! I have decided since getting mine that in the future I am going to go back to not revising as it seems to make no difference! Wasted of effort. Ha. I got C+ (Literature! Ha), 2 C's for Sports, and a B for Pop Gen. But 2:1 over all so... bothered. Ha. Ahhh dear.

TATTOOS!!!! No no no NOOOO. Do you realise they are going to be there FOREVER!!! Oh you just wait till you get home young ladies. :p.

Jeep story: Christ. I couldn't help but laugh (in a nervous manner) when i read that. Jen and Nic leaping out - comical. Good work Charles. You've got something to be thankful for mind... at least it wasn't Jen driving... can you picture it... yeh u can.

Last lot of pics were ace. Paint party?? Different. You both look sickeningly brown....

I see you've heard about our weather so I won't comment on that. Except one thing. HAIL. We had sodding HAIL.

Now the updates on all the important (hmm) stuff:
- Neighbours is on it's 3rd (ish) week of being off air because of the bloody Tennis. b******s. I DONT WANT TO WATCH TENNIS BRING BACK MY NEIGHBOURS. Comepletely unneccesary. I am getting withdrawls.
- Air Traffic album came out on Monday..... I'd like to now go on about how fantastic it is. However, mine still hasn't arrived... breathe.
- Princess Diana Concert. Bloody ace. Will camping it up looking stud-like in a white suit. I was loving it. Take That WOOOOOOOO. And...... Brent and Gareth singing..... oh yeh. It was actually the most amazing thing ever. I nearly cried. It was emotional. Then Gervais had to keep the crowd entertained whilst Elton John was, I dunno, being a prat. Oh Charlie it was amazing. Don't worry I'm sure it will be on youtube.

I think that's all the important updates.....

I haven't been up to much... at all. Apart from work that is. I ahve decided that place probably will be the death of me. Excellent. However, Pam is home from America where she has been travelling so a messy night in Bournemouth is planned for tomorrow. Excellent.

Right must go, got to go to work. Joy.

Hope you are both well, behaving yourselves, and not talking to strangers.

Missing you lotsly

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

P.s. This 'Please solve the following sum:' section below is proving very difficult for me...

Hello Jennifah Lohan and Charlie (your names sounding a bit boring now compared to Jens!!)

Just thought i'd write a little message as i'm sitting here searching for a job, yet another distraction!! Monday night was awesome, we ended up going to the colly with laz and all of her friends so it was a bit weird but you can't moan about 50p a drink night!! jo was completely wasted and spent all of Tuesday in bed, i was hangover free for a change although a bit tipsy on the actual night, probably from mixing every drink under the sun (jo's fault)!!

The flight home was full of excitement, i only just made the Bangkok to Doha conncetion as my bag took a year to come off the place. and then i had the 9 hour wait in Doha.That was going fine until it got to 11pm and i thought it would be a brilliant idea to go and have a rest in the quiet room, where they announce no flights or anything! I think i was one of the last ones to board after falling asleep and only just waking up in time! The flight i got was one of the last ones of the night, but there were still tons of people snoring away in there so im guessing they'd all missed their flights home!

Well done both of you for your marks, see all thar worrying for nothing, my results were waiting for me when i got up after monday night out, i dont think i've ever been so scared in my entire life before i opened them, actually it was probably on par with hanging over that cliff, but everything turned out fine!

Anyway i'd better go and put this degree to good use and find myself a call centre job or something!!

Have an awesome time guys!

Speak to you soon!!

Love nic xxx

Well done!!!

luv ya got to go luv you lots say hi for me bye bye

luv Amelea (sis)

Hi

As you know Nic got back safe after her epic journey. Like her tattoo but I will reserve judgement on yours Jen until I see it in person. I've seen it on the photo looks interesting.

I will be sending the cheque for your accomodation today. I spoke to the guy and said I would't send it until today as we had the postal strike last Friday. He was OK about it.

Nic still hasn't got her results, we all got excited because we had post last night at 8.00 but they still weren't there. I'm sure she will let you know when she get them.

Nat's off to 3 days and 2 nights at Coventry University tomorrow. Even having a ball on Thursday night. Sounds a good programme.

Anyway enjoy yourselves. Nic said your tan is coming along nicely. Keep safe and make sure you eat well. I hear you keep eating thai green curry Jen. What happened to the fish I thought there would be loads but Nic said there wasn't.

Love you and miss you loads xxxxxxx

Jennaviamh and Charleston, long time no talk. All I can say is that all of you have awesome tatoos. I don't know if Nic was exaggerating when she said you were there during monsoon season, if that's true...bummer! I also find it quite amusing that between the three of you, all having finished your degrees or still doing them, you came to the very intellectual decision that your lost items must have gone missing due to someone stealing them, and accordin to Nic you believe that it was some form of Thai hobbit sitting in the underneath luggage compartment of the bus waiting to steal her phone charger.

Anyway, now that the mick take is over all that is left to say is that I expect you both to carry on making fouls of yourself! Love you and talk to you soon x x x

Hi Charlie, Sounds like you are having fun, its just you and Jen now, did Nic have a lovely time, I hope so. The weather is guess raining again, its really depressing, just had a text from Dave really upset, failed one test on his army weekend and has to start all over again, he was gutted, not sure wether he will do it or give up, felt quite sorry for him. Am glad you are going to the apartnment, it will be nice to have a bit of luxury, remember top drawer of bed a t.shirt for you in a bag, also help yourself to anything you need, just get it washed over the road, nan will show you where.

How long will you stay, are you going up north then, how have you found travelling around, how is the money going, not to quick I hope, I have put £40.00 on this week and will put some in later for your phone bill, Soz cant find Jens mums Number, post ours for greg and he can call me, So sorry to hear about your fiends mum, must be really hard for him. had she been ill or was it a shock for him.

I miss you so much its not the same living in a house full of men, cant wait for you to come home, I will pack up your room and try to make your new room nice for you, though I may buy some new bedding for you and try to make it cosy, I think we will be moving in the next 6 weeks, after our cruise, I will be really sad to leave Hollytree though as we worked so hard on it, still life moves on as they say, Hope Jen is well and that you are both having some nice time together, give her my love wont you, Take care love, talk soon, Mum and Dadxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Mum,
