Lisa Hey Fiboobz! How the hell are you? Haven't heard from you in ages. In fact I haven't heard from you since before Christmas! Did you get your package and letter ok? Not very inventive I know - a package full of Heat magazines but thought you would appreciate that more than anything else :-)) Things with me are good - really good actually. So much change since we last spoke. Ross and I finished yet again - "oh god not again" I hear you say - when will we learn that we split up for a reason? Anyway, life is much better to be honest, got a new man on the go which has all been a bit of a whirlwind affair but that's the way I like it. Will fill you in in detail at a later date. Was working in my cousins shop in Princess Square at xmas and Catriona came in - my cousin fancied the pants off her - it was quite funny watching him chat her up! She was looking hot though I have to say. Anyway I hope you are both as happy as ever - you two are my inspiration! Big hugs to you both. He better be taking care of my beautiful soul'd girl x

Kathryn Hi your old Auntie has gone all hi tec I am obsessed! Your website is brill I cant believe all this can be accessed so easy its great Just read my Claires message to you and maybe should rename myself the merry widow - cheeky thing she is! I am coping not bad but miss Keith like crazy keep thinking I will tell him things later and then I realise I cant its upsetting but I am not too bad. Well we have no sign of snow here in Southampton but they say weather from Russia is on its way so as usual I expect we will be ground to a halt and panic will set in - you know us Brits. Will write again soon - looking forward to meeting you and your Neil - let me know when you are next home and I may fly up to see you or you could always come stay here I have stacks of room ( you can have a room each no cohabiting here Oh I forgot Keith and I did for 18 years ) Lots of love to you Kathryn

Debs FEEEEEEVAL!!! Happy New Year to you and Neil! Just been looking through the photos - the snow looks awesome - sooo deep. Just be careful when snow angel-ing young lady! The new year party was fab - only thing missing was you guys. I even cooked stuff with my new oven (yes, i finally got one). Me and Shazza made some mean Moscow mules and Brandy Alexanders - lethal. Wee Rhiannon was the most entertaining tho, she sat and shouted," Hi Neeeeeeeilllll" much to everyone's amusement! Don't know where she gets it from... Anyway, sorry i missed your drunken phone call, but it was worth it to hear that message! Shaz, Em and I hit the hangover giggles listening to it! Anyway, will send you all the photos asap, take care of each other, and I'll speak to you soon. Love you loads, Debs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Marian Those yorkshire puds look wonderful ! I look forward to sampling some when you come home ! Neil had better watch out for his waistline. Oops, perhaps I shouldn't have said that. All your photos look great, but it also looks sooooo cold out there in Mammoth. I think we'll come out in better weather next time. Thanks for " taking" my 2 boys for me. It's much appreciated. Love & hugs to you both. xxxxxxxxxxx

Grace Hi Fiona, hope you and Neil are well, wishing you both a Merry X-mas and a Happy New Year when it comes. missing you, lots of love, Grace and all at Berryknowes

linsey Hey babe! hope you both had a smashing christmas and a happy mahogany when it comes!!! heehee. Anyway complete opposite this side of the planet, I saw a girl putting an inflatable snowman up in her garden while wearing a bikini the other day and santa's sledge is pulled by, in the words of that great Aussie philosopher Rolf Harris, '6 white boomers' - Roos to you and I. So Xmas was 38 degrees and it's getting hotter and the day was spent eating seafood and drinking very cold beer with not 1 soap omnibus in sight! nuts I tell you. Hope Santa was good to both you and Neil and that your yorkies turned out ok! Right best be off, take care, wrap up warm and eat your greens. Bye hun, missing your chat! Lxxxxxxxxx

Mum and Dad Merry Xmas to Fiona and Neil - We miss you lots and lots - we hope Santa came and that you have a lovely day - Lots and lots of Love from Mum and Dad XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Claire, Simon, Amy and Sam Hello Sweetie will text you soon - your mum gave me all your details. It was truly wonderful to see her and I know she was a great support to my mum. Funeral was yesterday and it was a beautiful service, mum did him proud. She was really strong and I know she will be OK - She looked fabulous, really glam widow! Its a tough time of year but I know the kids will help us all through it. Your call the other night meant the world to me and Amy has been asking for you since. We have been on your website this morning and she is SO jealous you have snow. We have even shared a geography lesson all before 9am!!!!! Anyhow you have a wonderful Christmas....I am doing roast beef too! I hope you have been good and Santa is kind to you!!! Talk soon honey xxxxxx PS I am SO not ready for Christmas and we have just two sleeps left!

Penny Hi Fi, Good to see all your new photos, glad you finally got some snow. Hope you have a really great christmas and hopefully speak to you soon. xxxxx

Marian Hi Fi & Neil, Glad you've got some decent snow at last, just in time for Christmas. Great to see your recent photos. They made me want to jump in a plane & come back out again this year ! Perhaps next year ! We hope you have a lovely time with your pot luck Xmas dinner. Ali now has the recipe for bread sauce, so that's taken care of, assuming he can lay his hands on cloves in Vons ! We miss you lots, but will be thinking of you especially on Christmas Day. We'll also try to phone. Take care of one another & have FUN ! Love & hugs, Marian xxx

Gayle Hey Fi & Neil Wow, look at that snow. Never seen anything like it. Sadly it never snows down here in Leith cause were so close to the water. Fingers crossed it snows back in bonnie Barrhead over the hols when I'm back home. I'll need to send you a proper email soon Fi, I've been a tad busy at work and fill you in on my gossip. One thing tho, my best pal Irene got engaged to the lovely Alister on Saturady (cried tears of joy the big woose that I am). Wishing you both a very merry Christmas. Take care of each other. Love Gayle xx

Shaz Hi Fi & Neil Merry Christmas i hope you have a brilliant day! Will be thinking of you and missing you LOTS! Love you loads Shaz xXxXxXxXxX

Fi Happy Christmas Everyone. Hope you like the new photos. All is well here on Mammoth Mountain, we've just had a lovely dump of snow, real sierra cement, so the skiing is going off. I hope wherever you are in the world that you are happy and enjoying the festive season. We are having about 25 people round on Christmas Day for dinner, we are all making a dish so it is a bit of "pot luck" affair as the yanks call it, my offering is roast beef and yorkshire pudding - hopefully it will turn out ok. Check back in the new year for some crackin crimbo photos. Take good care of yourselves and all the best for 2006. Lots of love, Fi and Neil xxxxxxxx
