Hi hun. Great to chat to you the other day (and on someone elses phone bill!). Glad to hear you're still enjoying yourself, hope you enjoy the fruit picking, sounds like it will be hard work but fun, I hope you make enough money to let you do all the things you want to do. Can't wait to see you in June and Emily is looking forward to meeting her auntie again - I'll see if I can have her saying Auntie Ellen before you come home! Can't believe she's going to be 1 soon, time is going so fast. Something cheesy and Aussie will be great for her b'day - you've got to bring her back a cuddly koala or kangaroo! Take care, we'll talk again soon. Big Sis & Little Buddha xxx

Oh my god, what are you doing to us- another year without Ellen, Noooooooooooo!!! David is getting bored of my pointless stories- you are the only one that listens and adds interesting nonsence to them hahaha!! 17 days till the Maldives, its nearly here thank god- 2 weeks of nothing but sun, sea and free all inclusive drinking!! Wahoo!!! Cant wait to see ya new years photos and hear about the fruit picking, sounds so much fun. Give my love to George and hope you dont cry when she leaves. Come home, heehee!!! Love ya Becky xxx

El, it's always brill to hear from you and we miss you so very very much! Really glad you're having such a great time and I just can't wait to hear all about it when (and if) you do ever come home!!! All sounds really exciting and fruit picking will be a laugh I'm sure, sure beats sitting in an office in grey old Manchester believe me! I'm off to Tunisia for a week in the sun in a couple of weeks, can't wait! Not as exciting as Oz but it gives me chance to flash some flesh in a bikini... watch out Tunisia!!! hehe! Take care and keep in touch - love you so very much! xxx

Hello honey How are you? Just read your latest entry and wanted to say - good for you! I do not blame you at all for wanting to stay out there for as long as you can get away with. We will all still be here, whether it's April or June, and will just be happy to see you when you do show your face. (Any thoughts on where you will live when you come back? Are you heading straight back for Manchester? - you know the girls here in Maidstone would love to see you). Anyway sweetie, glad that life is treating you well, really hope we get to catch up on the phone soon. Take care of yourself. Miss you of course. lots of love the 3 (nearly 4) of us xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well hello there!!! When are you coming back- I miss you! And now you are staying till June when you promised you'd be back in April, how rude! Im just jeaous really but 36 till my holiday so that will pass the time a wee bit! Hurry up and get back... Luv Becky xxx P.S. We better all get at least one pic with your new hair do, never seen you with a fringe!!! heehee

Hi Elles!! Glad to hear you are having a great time - New Year sounds amazing, Sydney is defo on our list of new year locations, although New york wasn't too bad!! Am sitting in my little flat in the spare room typing this (the place I make you stay when Matt goes away for the weekend so I don't get scared - who is gonna do that for me now!!) And manchester aint bad at all - loads of new bars and restaurants...not as great as sydney, but it is nice to be home...when you can finally tear yourself away from the other side of the world it will all be back to normal! Continue having an amazing time - your living the dream!! Miss you lots - Tuesday lunch club will seem a bit lonely without you xxx
