Fran Lorraine, you are really not making this tempting to come home!!!! Snow & piles of work!! :-( No, to be honest will be nice to have to use my brain again! Will be back before you know it and will be able to help Sue out and get back stuck in! I am sure there is plently of work to do, and i need all the pennies I can get! Have massively overspent, even in Thailand! Looking forward to seeing you all and to the Christmas lunch, thanks for thinking of me!Will call when i get back.

Lorraine Hi Fran Thanks for letting us know, we have arranged the meal for the 16th Dec so you will be well back by then. Sue reckons your young enough & just had 4 months away you should be well fit to make the 8th, whats up with you. We are really really pleased that you have only 2 weeks left LOL. It is so cold here at the moment we have snow forecast for this weekend so you will need to wrap up, welcome back to reality!!!!!. Sue said there are a few things waiting for you in your tray when you come back. Take care see you soon. Love Lorraine

Fran Hi Ladies! A message from bancock! Thanks for still keeping me in mind for the Christmas lunch, but I think I will be really jetlagged to come in for the 8th. I don't get back until late on the 7th. Don't worry about going without me though on that date if it is more convinient for you all, no problem at all! Will be back in two weeks now, so will call when I get back.Glad you recieved the postcard, the reef was amazing. Take care. Fran

Barbara Hi again Glad you are having a brilliant time. Strangely, the West Kirby Marine Lake isn't as tempting as the warm blue coral filled waters around Cairns. The weaver fish simply can't compare with the sharks and rainbow coloured fish of the reef. In fact its going to be minus 3 tomorrow according to Alan!!!! Better get your winter woolies ready for your return. Have lots of fun in Asia and look forward to seeing your pictures and hearing your news. Love Barbara

Barbara Hi

Lorraine Hi Fran. Looking forward to seeing you early Dec. We are at the moment booking our xmas lunch. Can you confirm if you are back in work on Wed 8 Dec because that is when we have decided to book lunch, if you are coming in, we thought it would be a nice easy start back to work. Dont come in especially though if you werent going to because we do have an alternative date Thurs 16 Dec. We are going to the Wro. Can you let me know so that I can confirm the date with the restaurant. We have received your postcard barrier reef looks amazing. Enjoy Thailand see you soon. Love Lorraine

Fran Hi!Thanks for your messages! Just in Thaialnd at the moment, I am absolutely loving it. I think you will have to drag me home! Went to Cains and did the Barrier reef, it was so amazing, so so many fish & all different types of coral! Then went a bit mad the day after because it was our last day in OZ and did a bungy jump! It was the scariest thing I have ever done in my life, I was absolutely petrified, but am glad that we did it! Another one to tick off the list! We then went on to Singapore, Malaysia and are working our way up Thailaind. It is such a beautiful place and the people are so friendly. It is so much nicer than I expected! Plus we can afford to eat here to and the food is amazing! Oz was sooo expensive! I am glad your holiday went well and the kids has a great time! Can't keep up with these Harry Potter films, I didn't even know there was one out! We went the pictures a few weeks ago to see that Eat, Pray, Love film beacuse we had both read the book while we have been away. It reminds me of something that Sue would enjoy, you should tell her to go and see it. Back home on the 7th December, so will give you a call when I am back on English ground. Will be doing as much work as possible, I am well and truly spent up! It has helped with Asia being at the end though! Sorry for not putting pics up, it just takes too long on here, so will bore you all to death with them when I get back! Say hi to everyone for me and will see you all in a few weeks! Fran x

Lorraine Hi Fran. Hope all ok & you are well & still having a ball. you are so missed in the office & everyone looking forward to seeing you in about 5 weeks? especially Sue. We had a great holiday weather was not bad for end of October Steven & Leah loved it. We are planning to go again sometime next year. Steven is going to see the new Harry Potter film on Friday with Nicky he is so excited about it. Will write again soon take care. Love lOrraine

Barbara Hi Fran Glad wedding was great and you are having a fab time. I have just read your last message out loud in the office and after your Fiji comment there was a unified deep sigh from Sue, Lorraine & I. What wouldn't we give for a bit of sun in Fiji or Oz right now!!! As I write this its tipping it down outside although strangely mild for bonfire night. Take care. Lots of Love Barbara x

Fran Gday Ladies, Thanks for writing on here! Ozzie accent coming along ok, I have learned that you have to say ay after everything and me and Sarah are pommies! Fiiji was absolutely amazing, will have to put the pics up soon. I havn't put any on for ages! It was like paradise, you could walk around the island in less than 10 mins! Wedding went really well, but it was more like a big party to be honest! Nothing really traditional and mum git out of doing her speech! Was lovely to see all the family though and loving ozzie so far! Just in a place called Surfers paradise at the mo, and then Brisbaine and Cairns next! Promise I will put the pics up soon. Hope you are all ok and Lorraine have fun on your holls! Say gday to Stephen and Leah for me. Lots of love xx

Barbara Gooday Fran! How is your Aussie accent coming along? Bet Fiji was fab! Looking forward to seeing the pictures of the wedding and your Mum as Best Man - hope that all goes well and Manley is hot. Life ticking along as normal here. Nothing exciting compared to your trip. Sunny day today and very quiet week in the office. Have loads of fun! Love Barbara x

Lorraine Hi Fran Hope its all going ok. Looking at your photos & your blogs sounds like your having a ball. I am so jealous especially when you went to hawaii, that is the one place I would love to go to, my dream holiday. Billy & I are away next week with Steven & Leah, we are going to Yarmouth in my friends caravan a far cry from were you are. Anyway enjoy the rest of your trip hope the wedding goes ok take care see you in December.

Francesca Hello Mrs S. Thanks for writing on here! Don't think your son has even got the concept yet! haha, i know that postcard made me laugh, thought Gab might think it was funny. I remember she played that elvis video i had on my phone all day long and was in histerics!Missing the people at home, but that it about it! Having a brill time, eating, spending and laughing loadz! I will have to come to slimming world with you when i get back... way too many pancakes, pizzas and burgers! Just in Fiji at the mo, on Beachcomber island. It takes less than 10 mins to walk around the whole island, and reminds me of that programme shipwrekd! It has been raining for the past few days though!! Sydney on the 17th though and i will get to see my mum and dad! Got the wedding, and my mum has been asked to be the best man? Not sure how that woks but am looking forward to seeing her do a speech! Anyways, will call yours soon and hopefully catch you then. Lots of love xxxxxxxxxx

Mrs Sullivan Hello darlin'! Sounds like you are having a ball, just received your postcards today Stephen's and the funny one for Gabrielle and Marcus, they will laugh when they see it. They keep asking where in the world you are? I reply "who knows?'' Same old same old here, Mr S Snr watching football again Englang v Montenegro and me back at Slimming World....a week of depriving myself only to be told I've lost half a pound. Please don't say at least its in the right direction. Miss you loads Francesca, take care and see you in December. Will pass this website to Claire, everyone sends you their love. xxxxxxx

Fran Hey Gill, haha that made me laugh. Poor barbara. We rented a car a few days ago around the big island in Hawaii, and I ended up getting a flat tyre too! It was ok though because two hunky police men (don't let stephen read this bit) saved the day, then escorted us one car in front, one behind to the rental place! Don't get that in the Wirral! Fiji tomorrow!! Trying not to brag but I just can't help it! Lovely to hear from you anyways, will try and put some new pics up soon, I have loads to add! Say hi to Jazz & the kids and everyone back at the office. Lots of love x
