YO GUYS! After 40 hours, an unexpected stop off in Hong-Kong, a couple of quite well behaved yet screaming children and a load of grief at the station, I am HOME! I will email proper in a while, but I just wanted to put this on the blog: (I got sent it today from the people who run the blog, Off Exploring, and I am WELL excited)

Hello

I Know Off Exploring have been in contact with you regarding PR opportunities and I wanted to see if it would be possible to arrange a call with you over the coming days.

I work for their PR agency and we really like your page and think you'd all make a great case study. Don't worry about phone bills etc we can call you.

Just send me a number and a time and that will be great. We wont take up too much of your time maybe 10 minutes.

Thanks for responding!

Victoria Shortt

Unbelievable, innit?!

Anyway, Faye hope you are well in North side, Dino and Adele, I'll be in touch soon. Mary, Dad and the others, thanks for the messages for going home. Nick and Laura and Mish, hope Melbourne is ace, and Shazza, it has been emotional without you, and I hope that you are being looked after there. Miss you lots, and will email you all privately. Love you all. X

Hi Matt,firstly that was a great blog,enjoyed reading it.It all sounded very exciting if abit bizarre.So your faces will be splashed across T.Vs everywhere! When Laura sent her e.mail to us she was also full of it and very excited.

Thanks for the message about Lewes Council,it's great news.You heard that quick, we only heard this afternoon.All we have to worry about now is Falmer Parish Council and a few bunny lovers!!

Thanks also for keeping us in touch with all your travels along the way.Sad the adventure is nearly over for you but sure you have many good memories.Safe journey.

Sounds as if you're all going your seperate ways now,wherever you are stay safe and enjoy yourselves.Love to you allxxxxxx

Laura thanks for your e.mail,will reply tomorrow and answer all your questions.What a day you had.could tell by your message how excited you were!!!Have a good trip to Melbourne and enjoy spending time with nick's family.Love to you both.Love you lotsxxx

Blimey what a day indeed...deal or no deal...i'm sooo addicted to it!...Shame i probably never see the New Zealand version.....still you lot did ok for killing some time!! Travel well! Faye has gone for a job today as a tour guide for a day trip thing to a water fall (for 6 weeks)... good luck Faye.....good luck all..xxxxxx

A P.S--Nicola, but mostly Pete- Just thought I'd say Lewes Council are morons and I'm glad they have decided not to challenge the decision. Go on Brighton!

Thats it. Bye. Matt X

Yo peeps, sorry for all the confusing messages between the brother's Greek.

Update- we are all in Auckland now (10pm), and we are getting on a 6.20am flight to Melbourne. From there, Sharon and I are going to stay for one night before I leave, and the other 3 are going to Melbourne and down to see a cousin of ours for a while. I am going home the next day.

Mum- No worries, I will get the train home, you be a good girl and stay at work.

Dad and all the other messagers- Thanks for the good travel home messages, appreciate it.

EVERYONE- CHeck out the blog, YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THE DAY WE HAD TODAY!

Good news Laura,Nannie has come home from hospital today so she is happy and Grandad is relieved!She's doing well on her crutches and looking very sexy in her white stockings!!

Tom had a great birthday and needless to say enjoyed his tank driving experience,expect Rachel will tell you all about it.Dad enjoyed his round of golf with him but sadly he didn't ask Dad any questions!!!!!!!!!!

Went to Kerry Mayo's testimonial on Saturday with Jane and Pete,great to see lots of old Brighton players there.Can't believe the season starts in less than a fortnight-can't wait.
