Hi Dudes!!!

Howdy! I don't know where the email has gone - technology eh?

It was only letting you know about Steve's accident. I'll give you the short version. He was crushed by an 8 tonne folk truck into some pallets of wood! He was rushed to A & E but was allowed home - with bruising and a pocket of fluid on stomach - they said he was really lucky! - Personally I think he was stealing my thunder! Hospital is my teritory!!

We looked like a right pair! I am now up and hobbling around and his pain seems to be easing but still has pain in his back!!

Anyway, we won't hog up all the message board! Looks like you're still having a great time - apart from your stomach upsets Debs!!

Speak soon, love ya both loads xx

Hi Folks,

As i write this it is absolutely pissing it down, i wish i could say its monsoon season but it would be a lie wouldn't it, just good old fashioned miserable british weather!

Sounds like you guys are still having an amazing time, but for a change i have some news for you!!!!!!!!!

I have been to london this week as i entered howard street for an award with the NHS centre for involvement. it was a national event with 135 entries, we entered a catergory for parnership working but didn't get it, didn't think we would.

However we did get awarded the overall winners of the night!!! The centre was deemed as an example of best practice nationally and was choosen by the NHS chief executive (big cahoona from whitehall).

So i would like to thank my collegues, the local population, the public health directorate, my family in particular my mother for my exsitance, the dog for being faithful and smelly, the cat for being feiline the lady next door, the window cleaner.........yada,yada, ha ha.

i am little disappointed that no one has come up with unique ways for you guys to spend christmas, me included.

Need to organise getting on the web cam to c u. Send me an email nd maybe we could sort something?

anyways past my bed time so nighty nite.

be good and b safe

loads a love

WOW those pictures are looking fantastic! Watch out for the sharks! When ya get to Phi Phi there is a bar which has a thai boxing ring in, fair funny, ya can have a go if you think your hard enough!!!! Few hippy bars and plenty of whiskey buckets, we got a taxi boat to the islands and different coves dirty cheap. Shop round!! Miss ya xx

hi u 2, about time we got some more pics & stuff. stop enjoying yourselves & give us some info. debs, stop eating curried dog then u might not get gut ache quite so often !! chris, burnley bt watford 2-1 away last nt, the promotion race is now back on. love to you both, keep safe. xxx

Chris is an information freak and all debs can do is vom. Cool. x

Well hello Team Leader and Bash! I've been really naff with the contact haven't I?? I'm sorry!!

Just been catching up on your adventures and before I start I want to congratulate you Debs on your birthaday, I know I'm well late but better late than never eh?? Also, some of the travelling outfits you've been putting together are immense, true team leader style!! Ha ha!

Loved looking at all your pic's and did enjoy the little bits of history Chris - dont listen to Debs shes just very uncultured!!

Bet your sooooo excited about Thailand!! Trust me you wont want to leave! I loved Phi Phi, jumping off the rocks pretending I was in 'the beach'!! Unfortunately Leo wasn't there which was a shame!! Make sure you get to the full moon party too - Coral Bungalows is a great place to stay on Ko Pan yan (thats the worst possible spelling of the place).

God im so jealous, really wish I was travelling the world at the moment! Had more bad luck on Friday night when I wrote my car off, only had her 2 months, must be some kind of a record!! Ha ha!!

Anyways, take care of each other, much love coming from me to you both xxxx

Ps. I feel by reading your blogs that the true Team Leader is back in action - very organised!! Whoop Whoop xx
