Aunty Karen Hi Farrah Is the snow falling yet? Went to mum's last night for her birthday and she cooked an awesome meal. I was very impressed with the necklace you bought her and even more impressed at your timing of getting it to her!! You can always ask your dad for some ice-skating tips. He was only telling us last night how good it was!! Love Aunty Karen and Co xx

Mum Hi Babe. I hope you got my text with the code ok. Let me know if you need any more money sent. It seems the best way to do it is moneygram for the moment Hope the snow starts soon!. Will you get work on the mountain before the other job starts or will that be later when the season starts? We are doing ok here but miss you lots. love Mum

Dad Hi, hope all is going well, the holiday part soon to end though! How is the money situation? OK Vodafone man at shop says it may be possible to unlock your phone, but he needs somehting called the mime number off of it. You get to this by dialing Star Key, Hash key, 0, 6, Hash Key You will get a number, send this to us and we shall take it back to him. He was surprised that they could not do it in Canada. If this does not work, we shall send out a basic telephone in a parcel, once you have an address

Dad Great to hear from you, we were getting a little worried. We saw the photos on Face Book, including the photo of Dave's Murgatroyd. Vodafone will not unlock your phone, they were the people who locked it in the first place to try to keep you as a customer. There is nothing illegal (here, at any least) in going to a phone shop and getting them to unlock it. Presumably the people you get your Canadiam Number from. It must make sense for you and your mates to able to call each other locally. Alos a good idea when you start work with teh 4 seasons

Dad surprised we have not heard from you, please confirm OK as a week has gone by

Mum Happy birthday to you ...... miss you loads especially today. I hope you have a great time. Will try to text/ring you tonight (our time). love you

Aunty Karen Hi Farrah What you doin for your birthday tomorrow ..... I know - how about a halloween party??? Saw the photos of the bungee jump - what on earth made you do such a thing? Done EVER do it again! Remember if you need anything and cant get hold of mum or dad just ring me.. we all felt sooooo bad after hearing about the fraught time with the lost purse etc. By the way, stephen's car has been 'tea bagged' or something like that he calls it anyway. No doubt he'll let you know what happened. love you lots Aunty Karen and co.xxxxxxx

Dad Really good to hear from you last night, only after you hung up did mads say you had 20 minutes free How is the money holding out? Mum is trying to sort out the transfer business as you know. It would be a really good idea for you to get a canadian Mobile number, i.e. a Canadian chip. If you do we can use a company called Vonage. In effect they will give us a local Canadian number for your area. You telephone that number and in effect will just pay for local calls. Vonage switch the call through the inertnet and then onto our telephone here. We just pay a monthly sum. Upshot, you an call cheaply. It does not let us call you though, which is a pain, but clearly we can contribute to your costs of calling us. Can you get a number? Is your phone locked and if so how much to unlock it etc etc All the above very practical I know. We are all missing you like mad and it will seem very odd tomorrow with you not being here. Love you
