H E L L O C H A - Only taken 40 days n 40 nites to get internet back on at new address damned annoying(due to mess up after mess by orange)BUT we've done it at last hoorah!!! On your birthday I spoke to you for over 90 minutes but can't help wondering if you remember any of it? (just kidding I'm sure a small part of our chat will come to mind?U were well celebrated, I'd expect no less mind in a luxury 5* hotel. Hope Lee enjoyed it too n his mum,Dave,Paul & Donna arrived in good shape n are having a great time, Lee will be delighted to see them all. I've taken Gran n Harry to airport today, I told Harry to put his happy holiday smile on he looked like Harold Steptoe,you can well imagine the uglyness of that!!They r funny when u see them, they were having a tiff before they got in the terminal, still that's their style I think they actually have great fun together really. I then went to Ikea and Metro. Mal n I are going to Steve/Sal's at the weekend they may have some new born lambs by then. I can't wait to see Tom n Scarlet. We're having our sort of Xmas day replay with them it'll be great, it's a little late I know but 1st opportunity we've had after France and the move etc. Jan's sold her house so they will be moving completely to France in the next few weeks, she's well shocked. Well I can e-mail u now which is good. Miss you more than ever take good care both of you. Luv one n only Mum & Mal x

hi everyone!! we are very excited as the timer is starting to count down fast!!! Hi Vanya, great to hear from you! We havnt done our padi yet, as we are waiting until we get to the great barrier as we it will be hotter, and we suspect the sea life will be more beautiful. We were going to do it in new zealand, but after swimming with the dolphins in conditions like the arctic we decided to wait. The clicker has been an awesome prezzy, but thank goodness ive had no bites like the ones in Egypt!! miss you all, me and lee will be down to the pub for a good catch up session when we get back. look after each other and see you soon (the times now going really quickly). Well have to go on a dive if we pass!!!

Mick and Jay said its really good out there and the photos they showed us were amazing. They said they want to move there!! Let me know if you need anything else bringing. I know you want your spray guns but I dont know which ones. Miss you both very much and take care!!!

Hi you two, we had a visit from Jay and Mick this weekend and saw all holiday snaps of you all enjoying the sun and by the looks of it a few beers. Is it standard practice to have beers in every photo or is it that because your both always thirsty cause of the heat, (yeah right). Anyway save some of those stubbies for us cause we`ll be seeing you on the 23rd barring any unforseen circumstances. I think we get into Sydney at 7.00am local so see you there. Anything you might want bringing text me. Karen and little soldier came over sunday I spent sat/sun getting rid of cr*p from the garage and Lewis was helping to throw things out and asking me who made this "teribble mess" I said uncle Lee but don`t worry i`m changing the garage locks for when he gets back. Don`t worry i haven't chucked out any of your car bits. Keep well lots of love dad/mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Been meaning to look at your website for ages, sorry it has taken so long!! Missed you on the New Year holiday this year, Iain was sorry not to be able to race Lee in the plunge pool on the ship!!! Hope you are having a truly great time! Spending a night with Anne with a small glass of wine, hope you are doing the same! Take care and love to you both Dave, Vanya, Iain and Ro xxx

Happy new year to you both.

Oops...silly me, didn't even write anything before, I'll put it down to jet lag. Lee and Charlie it was great to see you down under and sorry Lee you were feeling a little under the weather after our drinks on christmas eve, we did go some didn't we? We weren't really loud in that bar that said they wouldn't give us more beer (we got 2 more anyway I realised next day). I hope you had a chance to meet up with nic and charl for new years eve, I have just seen some of the fireworks on the telly, WOW!!! I wish we could have stayed to see them ourselves. It rained for the first 2 days we were in Singapore but the last day was lovely and we went to "litte india", I know you could kill for a good curry but I have to mention that we had a cracker of a meal in one of the hawker centres....(kev, it probably was someone's 4 legged friend but it certainly tasted good). Well happy new year to everyone who is reading this and Lee and Charlie carry on enjoying yourselves, and look after each other. Lots of love.
