hey emily, hope you had a fun halloween, dunno if they even celebrate that in china actually. I just thought you should know i went to our party as a sex offender and asked every girl i saw to touch me. None of them did. I broke a door so im getting fined £100. The last thing i remember i was on the kitchen floor with my trousers down getting spanked on my bare ass. Still living the dream then, hope you are too.

Its the day after syndrome i guess, anything exciting happening out there? Im guessing it is, chin up our kid. Have a chineise beer for me eh? Raise your glass and toast it to me, i'll drink a lovely glasgow tennants in your honour tonight. It'll be like a long distance pub visit.

laters.

Hello from a fabulously sunny Sheffield
Hope the modelling went well - upload the pics when you can. I've made the Christmas cakes - a small one for you and Romy and a big one for us! Had a wish and a stir for you. Getting together a box of Christmas glitter and tat for you as promised. Wish I was organising a Halloween party.......Take great care of yourself. I love you!

Of course - Chinese mama's pancakes aren't really as good as mine......... are they? Your holiday sounds brilliant although I'm not sure you really needed one after only 4 weeks work. It's a great life isn't it? Sorry about the red shoes- I loved them. Hope you've got some new ones now. Keep yourself safe and happy because I love you.

that week sounds ace.
