Hi mum & Derek,
Sounds great I want to come - can you not send Karen & I some tickets across to get there? The road to Melborne sounds good and glad photos turned up. Bet the roos played better golf than you Derek !! Karen wants to know what the tree is mum is hugging in the photo - thought it was Derek at first but then realised it must of lost a bit of weight to be Derek !
Sonya sorrry if got you in trouble yesterday - it was Steph staying over not you and forget she is classed as mums other daughter !
Linds have tickets for Thurs and Friday but could have my arm twisted re the Queen Mum - would be good to see MasterMinded in action - although would probably travel down early on the Weds - I will give you a ring at weekend to sort out.
Anyway mum and Derek keep having a great time.

Derek oh ye of little faith told you the cards would work despite being from TESCO. I paid 45pounds for 1kb so they were a bargain at £12 ish every little helps, nothing like that at BOOTHS.
Kev i wouldnt worry too much about not being home when they get back, do you think they they are concerned about you while they are having the time of their lives? and Chelt is far more important could have a word with whats his face Gillespie and see if he could put it back a week but doubtfull Wouldnt mind going Wed for The Queen Mother Chase are you here Wed? let me know.
Sorry to use your Mess board for personal stuff butdont have a contact for Kevin.
Any way sounds like your having a fun time (dont believe the greatwhite sharks would be in the slightest bit interested in Derek not enough meat there to warrant a second look) so looks like you will have to bring him home Norma or work on planB to get your hands on the insurance money!!!!! Hi to all the other people who have left mesages it is great to read your comments take care Linds x
Kevin & Karen
Hello Mum & Derek,
Trust not heard from you for a few days due to radio silence as opposed to the great white sharks getting you whilst having a paddle !! Watched the cricket from Perth this morning - looked scorching and as Linds says is snowing in Denshaw already. P.s. Linds hope you are keeping your lounge floor clean - only 6 weeks to Chelters - hope it warms up by then. Shouldn't really mention the C word though as when I am there mum & Derek will be getting back.
Went to watch Keane in concert last night at the MEN - third time we have seen them now and they just keep getting better - strongly recommend to any music lovers out there that you go if you get chance.
Anyway Sonya are you with Nicola this weekend? You will be in big trouble when mum gets back - can hear it now "You never visit when I am home !!! "
Anyway must go - Karen has the chores lined up for me !!! Keep on enjoying.
