Hi Girls, Charlotte & I have finally got round to looking at your site. It looks like you are having a truly wonderful experience. We wish you much fun and many adventures. Charlotte flies out on Thursday & I do believe we are finally there with all the organising. Didn't realise there was so much to sort out. We had a family Xmas going away dinner on sunday for 10 of us & C is in London tonight for her final farewell meal with uni friends. Tomorrow, I believe is last minute shopping and waxing to be done! Take care & enjoy!

Now for a sensible message to the two travellers. Hope all is well with both of you and the trip's going well. Looking forward to the next batch of pics. Take care xx

Stock exchange newsflash. Balding pool player makes bid for Northern Rock following tournament win. Richard Branson watch your back.

Caroline. I was wondering if it's worth making clear to the other readers that MM could be MM and not MM and the housemate with the dodgy haircut could be DM.

Hey guys, thanks for the Birthday message! Spice Girls were amazing! ha! Hope you are both still having fun, are you still in Vietnam?? Lots of love xxxxxx

Well done Abi. It's nice to see at least one ex SWGS girl can spell. Don't be too hard on your Dad though he's really taken Vera's death quite badly and I can only think housework takes his mind off it. Hope the tour going ok girls. xx

Hello Vietnamese women!

I firstly apologise for my dads unsuccessful attempt at bringing humour to the messageboard with his minky monkey talk. I can only see fit to blame it on 2 things, 1) the sad demise of Vera Duckworth and 2) he has been left alone for the past week or so at home, so i think he didnt really know what to do with himself, so chose to spend time wisely surfing the web for Vietnamese animal Gods. Once you turn 50, thats it really.. plus it didnt surprise me to hear he's been kept "happy" by hoovering.

Cherry, top marks on the Year 7 French trip style blog. Very detailed, to the point where if i shut my eyes, i could almost imagine the very bridge you were talking about. No honestly, keep it up.

Keep up the good spirit and smiles, lots of love from everyone down in the 'shire. I agree with John about the penguins, so watch your back. Why is everyone we know so odd?

LOTS OF LOVE x x x abi

Hello, hope you are enjoying your travels and please be careful. Do hope the weather gets better! Love the photos.

Much love to you both from the Granny B and Granny Fxxxxxxx

I am very very good friend of C. P and can often be found sitting on his lap! I do not have a dodgy haircut though. My housemate however does have a dodgy haircut. Have a great tour. xx

it isnt only the messages that can be confusing, whats with all the initials? Who's m.m? hope all is well.

Glad to hear M.M. is still taking an interest in the latest Beckett's circumnavigation of the globe. I must admit, some of it does some de-cyphering. Can you ask M.M. if she has heard from Tizzy?
