Hey Girls

Hope you are all having fun in Perth. We are missing some episodes from our favourite series ie The Adventures of Emma, Eleanor, Mel and Nats. I've tuned in quite a few times now but alas no news. It's almost as disappointing as missing an episode of Desperate Housewives. (Sad? Me? Never!)

We had a little qet together on Friday night as you probably gathered Emma - Maggie G, Jane H, Suzie R and me. Julie came down from the Ship which was nice. Couldn't get the damned Karaoke machine to work. Extremely frustrating but probably quite a good thing in retrospect.

Played some badminton and tennis today. Really liking the tenns but not getting much better. It's not the winning that matters, it's the taking part. I'm sure whoever coined that phrase was always on the winning team.

Ok, going to make Sunday lunch now. Hope to hear from you all very soon. take care. lots of love to you all.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Emma thankyou for the postcard it was lovely to hear from you. Hope your friend is feeling much better now its good to know your all looking after one amother. The photos on your website look so picturesque lots of blue sky and sunshine. Emma and Lee moved furniture on Sunday it was very cold and snowy so Lane End House full of lots of black bin liners and boxes. Its the first time for ages that Michael and I ended up queing for the bathroom even though weve 2. I dont mind its nice to have them stay for a while till they get sorted out at Richmond. Adam came over on Sunday for tea he exchanged a mothers day card and pressy for a bag of clean washing and ironing, he s been working overtime which is good have a feeling he needs to save for his car insurance due in April. Only a couple of weeks then we break up from pre-school for Easter holidays . We have sold our house and we are going to buy a bungalow in Eppleby early days yet but I hope everything goes alright. Less cleaning and gardening think Im gettimg old before my time. Hope you all enjoy Australia at least it will be warm unlike England at the moment. Think Ive done this right so hope you recieve this message.

Love Janet

Hi Eleanor

I would have paid 20 baht, quite cheap really to watch the side show!

Seriously, glad you're much better. Well done to the Sisters of Mercy. Hope you get some shopping in before you leave Singapore. Enjoy Australia.

Love

Mummy G

PS I really think we could make some money publishing these diary entries. You might not need that student loan after all.

Hi Helen and all the girls

I am enjoying mother's day in Richmond. Jane is cooking no rest on mother's day - poor Jane. Enjoyed Eleanor's dialogue - just what we needed before tea. (that's nana's bit)

Grandad was most impressed with the way you all managed Eleanor's sickness we are most heartened with the guardian angel service and we face the future weeks with great confidence certain in the knowledge that you are all capable, mutually supportive and just good young people (end the formal bit from Grandad)!!!!!!!!

Nana now - enjoy Australia beware sharks and crocs (not of the old grandparent variety!!!)

Back to Grandad informally now - always check for red spiders when you go to the toilet!!!

Lovely to get your card and txt - (have explained to Nana that you keep texting - you don't stop after one) and may the sun continue to shine on you all.

Lots of love Nana and grandad xxxxxxxx

Hi all

Brilliant message Nat, I laughed out loud at the cockroach incident, those creatures are indestructable!!!! Great ruse to blame the poor spelling etc on the computers. Actually your spelling was very good, perhaps there would be more errors with a 'proper' keyboard.

Point taken about 'Mags' I blame Jane Clark.

Say goodbye to Thailand. Enjoy Singapore (get shopping)

Love

Mummy G

I wish I was in Thailand.

People in Thailand don't have to sit exams.

Grrrrr.

Lots of love x x x

Hello everyone

Great effort on updating us at the moment   Well done!!  Remember life in the 'mond is so boring we need something to relieve the tedium!!  No pressure.

Love

Hi girls! 

Managed to sneak time to take a look at your new photo album & journal entries this afternoon (when I should have been working on my dissertation - thanks for the distraction!  It's torture (only El will get that one!)) 

I don't really use these message boards - I'm an email & MSN lover so I probably will revert back.

It sounds/looks like you're all having a great time - & is that a hint of a tan I see from the pics?!  It's not that I'm bitter but I think I have a vitamin D deficiency having been locked in the library basement again researching!

I looked high 'n' low but could see no photographic evidence of flying scorpions!!! - I will require some otherwise I'm just going to continue believing you ran out your room 'cause of a dragon fly!

Hope you enjoy the last few days you have in Thailand (can't believe you've been gone  this long already!).

Love, hugs 'n' kisses Tor xo

p.s.  El, I did warn you - I saw more pictures of you with more (rabies) dogs - you're in quarantine when you get back!

Dear Emma and friends

Hope you are all having a lovely time this is the second message ive sent, for some reson the first one didnt work.

Adam showed me your web site and how to send messages and I did something wrong  Im a bit  useless when it comes to emails and computers.

We have missed you on a Sunday night for tea, the Muirs say Hi and Emma and Lee. they will be moving back to Eppleby for a few weeks  until they get their new house sorted in Richmond.

Ad really missing you counting down to july.

Hope all is well, take care.

Love the Dunwoodies x x x x

Hi girls

Loved the photo's. loved the blog Eleanor (made me laugh and then made me cry but I am a very soft touch and have cried at Carol Vordeman's Better Homes before!).  Best of all though Natalie is still alive but we will never know what the rest of her message said!

Have fun,

Mags
