Agony Aunt, there you are, another string to your bow. You're right tho', if it ain't working best get out. Shopping for the little ones in the market, hope you buy yourself something too, it'll be a bottle no doubt? Pisco? Did you ever catch up with Barry, he looks like 'Shrek', and I know you've been to the Cross Keys amongst others.

I like the idea of the book after the trip, nice, but my mention? mickey take more like, not that I mind, it obviously entertained you, and kept me awake. Helmeted Pygmy and all. Having got 5! yes 5! days off I'm chilling too, and having Reiki on Tuesday, prior to lunch with a friend.

Sorry for not using the blog more often, confidence and all that, don't mind being the fool, but don't want to sound the fool as well. Continue where you left off, enjoying it all.

Hey you, not doing very well am I?!!! Haven't written for ages although methinks Paul and I stil in the lead for having written the most times! Nuffink exciting going on with me really but life's good apart from the distanct lack of kerching!! Can't believe Christmas will soon be upon us and I can't wait, I'd have the decs up now if I could! Jake, Charlie and I touch upon the subject with great excitement every day! Had huge boozy wkend last wkend which wasn't a great idea in the cold light of the day but Rob and I really enjoyed hitting town on the Friday night, bumped into Simon (remind me to tell you about that one when you're back!!) and then Sat night we had to celebrate pub down the road reopening after the flood damage, so all in all was rather alcohol fuelled and am looking forward to a dry one this weekend with the boys! College is going really well, am loving it, got 1st test on Monday but feel ok about that, we're just starting to learn the back massage and soon we'll be done so I can provide an all over treatment!! Work's fine, boys are great and lovely and happy and sweet and generally my little darlings, ex is too many (possibly offensive to some) words to write - complete mare as always but apart from that am happy and feeling good! Love reading all your news, am eagerly awaiting your next instalment, sounds like you're having a ball hun, bloomin good for you - keep it up. Heaps of hugs, me xxxxxx

Hay there trouble. Expect a big report from you with lots of tales from the trip to Bolivia. Ohhh shocker I bet there drinking in there some were.

Hi Dawnie have just caught up with your blog, sounds as if you are enjoying the placements, well most of the time. Still burning the candle at both ends I see, really enjoyed looking through your latest pics.

All's well in Shutford, Tim's children were Christened on Sunday so big family get together for that fortunately no tears from the kids which was great. Seeing Carol, Anna & Nadine on the 24th they are taking me out for lunch at Morans I think to celebrate the u know what birthday will give them all your news

Hope your week is going well, will catch up again before you head off to the rain forest

Hello sweet pea. It's Monday morning at 6.40am - been up since 5.30 so thought I would catch up on your blog entries. Aw mate, it sounds like you're having an amazing time. Peru could be facing an alcohol shortage by the time you come home tho!

Life is good here. Have interview tomorrow for new role at work so keep all your bits crossed for me honey bun.

You're a very special lady - not many could face plastic bags full of poo. Good on ya for making a difference. Your descriptions of life are fab........keep writing and brightening up our lives as well as those of the wee ones out there.

Take care doll

hi its sunday evening , gary just taken the kids home .... got mum here stayin the night ... she slightly better she spent last night with sarah . just reading your blog makes me feel tired so much social life !!!! you be carefull girlie !!! love ya lots take care xx

And I forgot to tell you about when we ventured into darkest Wales to see Gary - it was probably a bit like you going out to Peru cos the pubs sound very similar. We went to one place deep in a valley somewhere and there was a little old lady who served beer through a hatch in her front room. There was only one sort of beer and she filled her jug from a barrel around the back. I had to have beer too as she wouldn't make me a tea or coffee as she so nicely said "this is a pub and I serve beer"! Good job we had Gary there, him being Welsh, as I think it saved us from never being seen again! We went on from there to the Tin Pub - yep it's made from corrugated tin, but it was very pleasant and the sawdust on the floor gave of a rather nice aroma on a soggy wet day but there was a lovely wood burner in there as well so very cosy!

Gary then went off to Denmark to see a couple of birds and we travelled up to Portmeirion and Llandudno as we'd never been before - it was lovely!

Anyway hope you're working as hard as we are!!!!!!!!!!!! Be good!

Lo sweetie, sounds like yer havin a great time with a bit of werk and lots of partyin and stuff (bit like when yer at ome then). I think what you're doing is absolutely fantastic and I'm sure you'll give us the benefit of your insights on life on your return to Nam! All those experiences will come in so handy after a night out especially how to tie on a plastic bag to save time queuing in the ladies. The time is flying by so enjoy every minute. I really look forward to reading your blog and seeing the photos - a little window into parts of the world where we can only dream of what it must be like. Good on you sweetie, take care and we miss you loads (especially when thinking of Christmas party - it won't be the same without you!) Take care and Bry sends a hug.

Hi hun - really interesting reading about your placements, it does sound very tough but so rewarding. I'm sat here trying to rack my brain for things you can do with the children (not coming up with much), as you say you need more resources than you have. Hopefully you will receive our package that has pencils, sharpeners and blue tak in which will help a bit. Not much to report my end, what I do have seems slightly insignificant! Enjoy the next few weeks before you head off to Manu. love Clare
