iv been a bit ill debs, but just a crappy english cold n temp!! whoo the fun of it, nothin like u tho. hope ur feelin better

anyways the 'lord high lieutenant (i cant spell) or executioner or something' of hertfordshire is visiting so i hav 2 go and get changed into my 'special occassion uniform' fun fun. love u both xxx xxx xxx

Yep I got you're email ta. Are you doing that gay thing when you pretend you've got something juicy to tell me so I get all excited when I check my emails, but really you're just winding me up?! Hmm, I wonder.

Loved looking at you're photo's of Angkor, brought back fond memories of pretending to be Indiana Jones, humming the theme tune as we climbed around. The thing I loved the most was how when you left a temple, there would be about 10 women in a row all with cool boxes trying to sell you drinks, it was as if they thought whoever shouted at you the loudest would get your business. 'Hey mister, mister, it's hot, you buy drink'.

Only 3 more weeks of work left then we're freeeeeeee as a bird. My God you will love the islands in Thailand, I didn't want to leave. You thinking of doing your diving? If you are I'd definitely recommend Ban's diving on Koh Tao. Supposed to be amongst the best dive sites in the world!!

Miss me a bit Debs? You and I both know that you cry yourself to sleep most nights due to the lack of Cat love in your life.

I like it that Chris actually takes in the information about where you're visiting. I can imagine you Debbie, getting bored after the first 5 minutes. Just like the Hilda's days when you used to shake those stinking plants in science just to piss off singleton cos you were bored! Or the pencil shaving incident with Mr Bowles.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Debs, sounds like you were spoilt!

Love to you both!

Hi Chris & Debs,

Happy birthday Debs,how fantastic having it in Cambodia.

Something to look back on in years to come.

Hope your weather is as good as here in Spain,feel a bit guilty sat out in the sun while everyone freezing in sub zero temperature in the u.k. Anyway hope you have a fantastic birthday and get really drunk. Take care and lots of luv Elly

Hi son, Debs, hope you are both well. swimming in the volcanic lake looked brill. Love the blogs. Those spiders you describe in the tree sound horrendous. spiders are not my thing. Happy birthday Debs. I have almost finished my website which is www.lesdarlow.com. Have you had some really bad weather since youve been there or has it just rained. When are you moving on to aussie or New zealand. I bet you could go on i a celebrity Get me out of here now and win every trial. All you need to do is become a celeb.

Mike has swopped his course and career path now and opted to do Web Design/ Game design and computer programming. Lewis has gone EMO and got a matching girlfriend with matching black and red hair. Its quite funny cause he looks really good but his trendy boxers are always hanging out of his skinnies, he show his arse to the world. Lew is at sixth form now.
