Kirsten Hi mate, seems like ages since we have spoke, we had a nice long break of work for easter which was nice but didn't want to come back!! Haven't been up to much went out Sat with girls and last night but i'm on a mission not to get drunk because i'm fed up of the hangovers! so I've onle been having a few. You know I told youabout the car getting nicked well it only turns out that it is all linked to our next door neighbours! apparently they tip people of where to nick cars! nice neighbours eh and the worst thing is we can't do nothing about it becasue we haven't got the names of the people who stole it! Was scared last week about beingin the house when Barn was aorking nights but Mat came and stopped with me and had a baseball bat next to his bed so managed to get some sleep! Planning a weekedn away to Blackpool in June to which I'm looking ofrward to never been so should be fun. Apart from that haven't got much to report I'm loving the pics of your adventures glad you got round to putting them on its nice to see your having a good time. Anyway chick hope you carry on having fun and will speak to you soon take care miss and love you loads x x

kim hi hun Happy Easter for tomorrow. i cannot believe that you have been gone for over 2 months already how scary time flies. Well i have not really been up to much went to devon the other week james had a LGV driving course in taunton ( which he passed so is now appling for driving jobs rather him than me driving bloody big lorries). whilst we were there we went and had a chat with the vicar and have booked our wedding date 26th july 2008 and also booked the caterer and village hall - i know nothing like being organised well in advance. me and mum also went looking at wedding dresses its quite scary really and i have been looking around at bridesmaid dresses i will email you some pictures and see what you think about the styles i was looking at. having a worrying time at the mo though my aunty( dads sister) is in intensive care in barnstaple with meningitis again waiting for more scan results today but not sounding very good. well cant wait to hear of your next adventures say hi to the girls and happy easter to you all miss you kim xx

caz PS where are all the photos? How do I know this is really you!!!!!!!

caz Hi Claire Just started to send you a message and then I clicked something by mistake and lost the bloody thing - you know how technically challenged I am! Anyway it sounds as though you are having the best fun - sorry I haven't been in touch before but I've been really busy. I bet you haven't given this place a single thought since you started your adventure and who could blame you. I can remember being a bit concerned for your safety before you left but after reading your journal I reckon it's all the poor strangers you are meeting up with who are more at risk! Doesn't sound like the Claire that I remember - but I hope you keep on enjoying the good times. If only I'd done something like this years ago........

Kirsten Hello chick, Couldn't remember if I replied to your last email was a bit mad at work last week. Had a look at your sky dive pic its madness don't know how you had the guts to do it but definitely admire you for doing it I could never do anything like that. I think the time has gone quite quick but I can't wait for you to come back, will definitely go out. Things are good at home not been up to much had to literally carry barn home the other night (drunkard) he was on the the vodka and redbull and well I'm sure you can imagine the rest, I was quite sober for a change!! Had a girly night with Naomi Sat while Barn played poker and we have arranged for a plasterer to come in and do our hall stairs and landing in the next couple of weeks can't wait to get it done should look nice when its done. Not muuh more to report,Callum and Charl are fine he's growing so fast, still got to get our bridesmaid dresses, don't forget when your back we have a hen night to arrange!! Starting back at the gym with Emma only going once a week at the mo, she's lost loads of weight!, then out to Wolves for her birthday sat should be fun. Anyway can't wait to hear all about Australia miss and love you loads x x x

Kirsten Hi Hun, Just had a look at your jornal entries, can't believe all the different things you are doing sounds like you are having so much fun, I bet it was well scary when the police blokey pulled you up i would of been well scared so well done for acting calm! Mate I can't believe all those water sports you are doing, fair play to you reckon you have to try most things to enjoy the experience. Had a stinking hangover Friday, Barn was on nights so went out Thursday night for a quiet few drinks which ended up being a heavy night didn't make it to work Friday ended up booking a days holiday of felt like I was dying all day so had a quiet weekend. Apart from that theres not much going on in boring England, Barn is trying to persuade me to let him get a dog! you know what i'm like with dogs they scare the life out of me, I haven't said no but am putting it of for a while. Anyway chicken glad to hear your having so much fun can't wait to hear about your next adventure speak to you soon x x x

kim Oh forgot just read sarahs message can you believe alix glad it is someone else for a change though i think i am a reformed character ( i can hear the laughter)

kim Hi hun, Hows things sounds like you are having such a good time i am so jealous. There is not much to say from good old england except i had to have my rabbit put down which was vewry sad. Otherwise lots of work. I am on nights at the mo and very bored. Have loadsa fun in new zealand take care X Say hi to anna and ceri for me
