Gem,
As usual sounds like you are having the time of your life! Think about you often, and hope you are ok. Just wanted to wish you a very merry christmas - enjoy it as im sure you will. All is fine and well with married life - we are still friends after 4 months! hehehe
Loads of love, take care xxxxxxx

hi all, im fine now i still havent managed to eat much as my body wont take the spices and flavours but im drinking plenty and i had good old egg and chips for dinner last night lol, not very exotic but very nice as i was starving by then! dont think you will hav to use a squat toilet mum, when your in thailand we are staying in hotels and going to the beach in phuket which is very touristy so im sure they have western toilets. apart from the minor illnesses that i seem to keep getting i love travelling and it is the perfect lifestyle, i would happily stay away from home for many years if i could pick you all up and bring you to wherever i was to speak to maybe once a week or so lol as i miss all the chatting and gossiping with you all, i dont miss asda in the least (sorry people lol) although i miss the people that work there, but i do miss doing the youth groups - its great in bali though there are lots of little children and they dont mind you playing with them, the universal langage of fun!!! heehe i will always be a big kid! anyway thats not an option whether i like it or not im home at the end of january and i have to get back to reality then so i intend to fully make the most of my time left, i fly to bangkok via singapore tommorow so i will be online with free internet in singapore airport to entertain myself. i think the time difference for thailand is 7hrs ahead of people in england but im not 100% sure i will let you all kno. i have a week in bangkok then on 23rd i start a 12day tour round thailand. love to all xxx

Hey Gem!
how are you feeling now? you've had quite a bad few days eh? i prob couldnt survive over there, i dont like chinese/japanese/indonesian/bali type foods, as it involves noodles and weird combinations of water and some horrible tasting spices. lol. are you looking forward to coming back over and returning to civilisation?or would you rather hang up the western spurs and live over there for another couple of months? it will be good to see you anyways, when you do get back!
take care gem and get well soon,
ash x x
