Firstly let me say well done to you all but special mentions go to papadoulouououou, daddouloolooo, auntie mary, nicola and pete. I have just sat for the past hour and have speed read the message board. We have not had a lot of time on the pcs as we have been on our travels and I have generally read the last few messages each time I come on....but today I sat and read them properly for an hour. I feel too tired to leave a message now.....!
Well sone to the rest of you, you are not being left out. But they have left a LOT. Now that some of you feel insulted, please let me say that it would be lovely if you could all leave Faye and I some messages when it is just the two of us in Oz.....aww thanks! (I hope!).
Great to hear that you are back in the UK and are a happy chappette Adele. So you are heading back to work in a couple of weeks? Are you quite happy about that? A holiday as well, gosh that would be nice I fancy one of them too...!! Just kidding, that will be lovely enjoy it.
Faye I hope that you are enjoying your tour and that the Ayers rock is ....em.....there. Enjoy it and look after yourself.
Nick, Laura, Mick - I am soo looking forward to seeing you guys. More so Mick than anyone else, he is sooo generous....always SHARING. He's my best friend.....
Lucy, thank you for the hippy stuff re the 07.07.07. and for the Birthday wishes....please don't try to fool people. They know I am 22 now and not 21, but I do appreciate the thought. Hope you are fine, and enjoying the tranquility at the moment.
Thank you for the interest in my plans peeps. I think that at the moment I am going to stay in Sydney for the next few months and get some work. I had planned on getting a bar/restaurant position as they are so quick to start and you can organise shifts around weekends away......but I did that years ago so am now thinking book store or something else where I get a useful discount. This way I will have plenty of time off and can read the books I get for almost nothing!! Or I scould start mugging old ladies, and have lots of time to read about the moral quandary that should face me......!! Kidding gran. I would not discriminate and would steal from all ages and walks of life.
So, thats me for now.....hope you are all fine and dandy and cheers for leaving soo many messages all of you...!!
Lots of love to you all xxxx

Hope everyone is keeping well. I shall be upset where your journeys come to an end as I really enjoy reading what you have been up to. I get the impression Matt, that you have been heavily harrassed about photos, thats only because, I think that we would all like to be there with you that the photos are the closest thing we can get to you all.
Sharon, Are you planning to work in Austrailia or New Zealand, and what kind of work are you looking for?
Whats the weather like in New Zealand? Here as Aunty Mary says it is roasting hot, feel it more this year as most of the day I am sitting in a nice air conditioned office, its when I have to leave it feels like I have just stepped into a sauna!!!!
Your little sis Lucy is doing fine although she did fall out of bed last night for no apparent reason! You would thing that a 3 1/2 year old sleeping in a double bed of her own would be safe!!!!!!!!!
Any way keep on enjoying yourselves
Love
Sarah
Greek (Read It Nick)
Nick- thanks for trying to call, but we have moved house with Jane and Paul and their phone number didn't come with them. We are arriving late in Auckland on Sunday, and staying in a hostel very near the airport. This is only for the first night, so Shazza can apply for her work visa. As of Monday, we will be going into Auckland a bit, so just let me know IF YOU ARE STILL IN AUCKLAND ON THE MONDAY NIGHT (Thought I'd try your capitals). If you definitely are, then book us a room in the Camel too, and we can come and meet you on Monday. I'll try to call Mike's mobile today or tomorrow, but let me know on here if you can.
If it works out, we can hook up for a night and a day, but if not, we are leaving on the 1st for Melbourne, on the SAME FLIGHT as originally planned, so we can see you there anyway. Word up to you and the gang.
Ljungberg has signed for West Ham.
Peace
p.s Mum- check your emails
Lucy
Hi Everyone

Hi Laura just a quick message,Nannie was thrilled with your phone call yesterday and I'm pleased to tell you all went well with her operation this morning.When Grandad rang the hospital to see how she was she actually spoke to him!!Hopefully she'll be up and about in no time.Thinking of you in New Zealand and will be in touch soon.Love and miss you loads Mumxxx
Firstly, I have to say I'm very envious of your extensive expedition, and dream of doing the same thing myself sometime. I really hope you're all loving it!
The rest of this message is for the attention of Mathieu. . .
Mr Hogan, thanks for your email! I'm very grateful that your thoughtful and timely message was not sent to me via window, on a piece of paper attached to a brick, as I expected. :-) Seriously though, thanks for the advance birthday message!
Yeah we should definately hook up for a pint when you get back - on at least one of our matchdays, if you're around; I'm sure you'll be eager to attend every game possible this season, now that we've significantly strengthend our squad, with additions such as the notorious Bakari Sagna and the formidable ?ukasz Fabia?ski - not to mention having got rid of that useless French turd, what was his name? Er, Henry. *COUGH* Not that I'm particularly pessimistic about the coming season, but things are a little worrying don't you think?
Sorry my contact has been shabby of late - I've just not been online a great deal, what with recovering from my car accident (I'm pretty much fine now!), and working quite a bit since.
By the way, me and the girlfriend did seen Hot Fuzz the other day and wasn't it exthellent? I can't remember if you're completely familiar with Big Train (Simon Pegg & co's sketch show), but I was watching a load of videos of it on youtube last night, and this one particularly made me laugh - check it out when you get the chance: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=P0TZxFQaXkc
Anyway dude, sounds like you're loving it out there - hope you and all the gang continue to do so til it's home-time.
Peace, love, and URGH URGH!

PHEWW! Faye,
