Lisa Hi, Glad to hear you are coming back to Medway, although I get the feeling you're not looking as forward to it! I got back from Amsterdam on Sunday, not going to post details of it on here as I don't think what I got up to should be general knowledge!!! See you soon, Xxx

Beth Last week Tom walked past Kian from Westlife at Heathrow Airport!

M & D hi Jane - It was good to speak to you - sorry I seemed a bit distant but I was really tired & a bit fed up with packing seemingly endless boxes at work. It's been a bit like last year all over again. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought that this is the very LAST TIME I will ever have to do this! Anyway, hope all is going well with you & that you are making the best of your last couple of weeks. Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxx

Vix Yo chicko!!! It's only me, back online now!! Sooooooooooooooooo much happier than the last time i emailed you! I haven't got time to read all your journal entries but i'll see you soon enough so you can fill me in!!!! Cant believe Anns home already! I will be speaking to her later i think!! I have an irish mobile now! So me and Kathy have been official flat mates for nearly 4 weeks believe it or not! And we're having a great time living together! The flat is above the Galley and overlooks main beach, some of the sunset photos are amazing i'm so happy with them!! My exhibition in England has just started and when i get a bit more money i have 2 possibly 3 places here waiting for me to supply photos to them! My jobs going well too in the Maghery hotel, although for some reason the chef hates me and has called me unmentionable names on several occasions which everyone has had enough of and looks like he's going to get fired, hehe!! And that's about it really, ive hung out with Kyle a few times, he broke his arm and jerry broke his ankle trying to skateboard!! Dear me. Anyway Enjoy the rest of America you lucky dog and i'll email you too!!!! Love you loads cant wait to see you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vix xxx

Mum & Dad Just to let you know that Ann is now back in dear old Blighty! Her flight was actually early so we didn't have to hang about for her. She is looking great - the sun tan is very impressive! She has already been to see all her mates at M&S and exchanged her sick MP3 player for a new one, so now all is right with the world!! Hope all is well with you - looking forward to seeing you very soon. Lots of love. xxxxxxxxxxx

Beth Yak - nice. Even I might have had trouble with that all the time. I bet you are beginning to count down the days until you are home now and I bet you are hating the thought of the flight back - just think of all the lovely places you have still got go see. I still haven't got any gossip which is very depressing - my mum is going into hospital tomorrow for an op and that is the most exciting thing that is going in my life at the moment. Nothing life threatening though so no need to worry! Looking forward to the next installment.

M & D Hiya - lovely to speak to you yesterday. Sounds like China has been a very interesting experience! Everything will seem very weird when you come home. Only a month & you'll be back. When are you off to Ireland - will we get to see you for long before you shoot off again? Let us know what's happening re Carol's job offer. Weather here is lovely - we're in the middle of a heat wave - too hot to be at work but I only have 17 more school days left - can't believe it!! Look forward to speaking to you again when you get to America. Lots of love xxxx

Caroline Wooohooo, check me out, posting a message on your board!! Its taken me about 10 mins to get to this point, darn computer, but I stuck with it for fear of being called nasty names again!!! Well, as Ive just emailed you all my news this all seems a fairly pointless exercise, but what the hell! You sound like you are having a fab time and Im not at all jealous of all the fun you're having!! Oooo, I went out for a drink with Brendan the other night and he is going to design my tattoo for me, so I may be all Southern Crossed by the time you get back! Im really not going to type anymore, go read your email, that will fill you in! Take care C xx

Beth Yo Ho! You may be in China but I am in Milton Keynes and I think we both know where we would rather be! Oh yes. Fortunately I am going home shortly! Everything you are up to sounds just a-mazing and I really wish I was there with you. As for gossip - Caroline has touched the hand of God - not sure if she has told you before, but other than that nothing to report. Finally had the photos developed and am boring people in stages with them! Looking forward to hearing more of what you are getting up to and all about the lovely people you end up weeing next to! Oh yes nearly forgot - Caroline has found a shop in Brighton that sells ice-cream with stuff mixed in - damn them!

the parents Sorry we missed your phone call this morning - I was at work & Dad was in the shower & couldn't get to the phone in time!! It was good to hear your voice on the answer machine anyway! How come the map on your home page still says you're in Australia? Unless you really are of course! Better get back to the reports - I'm on the home run now so should finish tonight - then NEVER again!! Deep joy! Take care. Lots of love & hugs xxxxxxx

Vixter Sorry about the blank box, no idea what happened there!!!!

Vixter YO YO YO!!!! Finally ive manaed to get to a computer, it's free at the homefield hostel in sunny bunny where i'm staying right now, it's like my own mini adventure!! Your pics look great as always! The new florist here are gunna display mine and try and sell them for me! Your trip seems to be going well, i'm still mega jealous but i'm really tanned so everything is right with the world again!! Cant wait to see you out here in August!! It's gunna be so cool, i met up with Annie 2 weeks ago and had a real giggle with her, i'm loving being back here!! Anyway i'm off to send you an email! Miss ya cus, stay well vix xxxxxxxx

Julie Hello! I am taking a brief break from report writing (yes you may gloat!!!) to let you know I have been enjoying your journal entries and photos. Went to lunch with Helen, Pauline, Chris, Jean, Carol and Jackie. Jackie is very impressed with this site too! Everyone says hi! Everyone is well. You can guess the main topic of conversation! Just to make you gloat even more, the weather over this holiday week has been pretty appalling. Dark clouds and rain too! Anyway, we booked our tickets to Barcelona today so that's something to look forward to. I'm addicted to BB as always. Three people have already walked out and it's only just started! Tell Heidi I have now seen all of Lost series 2 and there are a few shockers so hope she can stay spoiler free till she sees it. 24 is pretty amazing too. Can't believe you got upgraded to business class - lucky you! Have fun. I'm going back to my report writing (booo!!)

Beth Me again - just seen all your fantastic photos - they are a-mazing (hee hee!). currently sitting at my desk at work, it is all cloudy and grey outside and needless to say I wish I was still with you. Thank you very much for the birthday card. Am looking forward to your next update - best get back to work now. Sob!
