Mark wait...what is ths green purse/bag picture...i don't remember this being taken....and mum why did you send this over there. by the way thankyou for another classic cliche' (pardon the spelling)....you can shove ya key, your toolbox and the cake. it ain't gonna help me pass stats

Kim Mark, seeing as many people are giving you advice on uni exams and how/why to achieve, I thought I would chime in with my own! By taking all those classes, you earn a key. Then when you enter the working world (even though it's not all it's cracked up to be) you have to pass by many doors. If you have the right key then you can enter the door and enjoy the many possibilities on the other side! So now you have a Toolbox, Cake and a Key! Your Mum sent Gregg pictures of home--and one with you in your room. I must say... I didn't picture you as the purse carrying type, but the green bag sitting on your bed is lovely! hahah

Mark UNI AND EXAMS ARE GAY!!!!!

Dad Hey mate I've just come back from Townsville also, I can also confirm that your brother is a slob and is in stress mode, particuarly statistics (2 peas in a pod or perhaps you share the one brain!!). I recall someone else stressing over stats??also accounting if I recall correctly, pity Kim wasn't there to help then. Is she any good at stats, I'm sure Mark would be pleased to hear from her. A girlfriend who is an accountant, hmmm!! Need more detail?? Good to hear your are very happy (even if she is an accountant). What happened to work in Canada? I note you didn't respond to my email with all my questions. Passed my Directors course and issued with a Diploma of Company Directorship, bit of a joke really. Attended a 6 intensive long days at the course sat for a 3 hour exam requiring a 65% pass mark then submitted a 4,000 word assignment, also requiring a 65% pass mark and then issued with a recognised Diploma. Most Diplomas take at least 2full time years to complete, anyway I'm not complaining. Not much else is happening, work is busy and at times a pain. Great to hear you are so happy. take care love dad xxoo

Mum Hey darlin, I have returned from Townsville- it's a beautiful city and it was lovely to catch up with Marko. I made a big discovery....that untidiness is genetic. You and Marko have identical rooms....both a shambles, a talent for hanging clothes on the floor and self cleaning bed sheets. How I love you both!!!!!!!! He is well, happy, settled and has lovely friends- what more could I want!!! Glad you are making yourself 'useful' to Kim. I hope you are doing your share of the chores just like you do at home (yeah, right!!!!). Keep having fun!!! Lots of love Mum xxxxoooo

Kim ahhh Dearest Gregg prehaps you were a bit out it the day we assembled furniture, because your memory and mine are a bit askew of eachother! But nothing has fallin apart...yet-- and I do appreciate all your help. Even if we had to travel appox 3.5 hours to Pheonix--So I don't do well estimating time. I'm italian, are you shocked by that??--Time not of the essence

Kim I'm in stiches laughing--at work just me and my computer mind you, people that walk by think I'm a little crazy probably, but oh well what can you do--Anyway I just reading all of your entries and then I found the journal entries for the fam and friends--QUALITY!! Anyway I still think that you have some updating to do...mostly so that others can comment and poke fun and you. You can even tell people how effective you would be as an ikea furniture assemby man!! ha! Well I'm off to manipulate numbers! Accounting is never ending, there are income statemenst to analyze, balance sheets to reconcile, and reports to run!! Don't be too jealous, I know you would much rather be in a cubical, hording staplers, and formatting excel spreadsheets, than watching SAW. Enjoy!

Smiffy Long to reign over us, God Save the Queen :)

Mum Giday matey! I hope all is well with you! It's been a busy week- Mark has headed back to Townsville and it was lovely to have him home. I used your voucher from Ciao Bella and have lovely painted toes and finger nails. It was a real treat! Saw Pat today- Nathan takes over his new business in a week - very excited and looking forward to the adventure as opposed to flogging himself at Woolies. Paul is heading to Spain for 3 months on the 19th October - he is learning to speak Spanish and has signed up for a 3 month course at a Uni over there. I have been trying to phone but I can't get thru on the number you gave- no dramas though as everythings great. Love you, Mum xxxxoooo

Mum Hiya darlin, Just a quick note to let you know your parcel arrived today- safe and sound. The photo is beautiful, the colours amazing and at least you'll have one photo of the Grand Canyon!! Marko is back for the week and, of course, given the bum by Mandy for the first hour or so. Glad you found your tax return! I was hoping it would take a bit longer to get to you so that it would be a surprise. At least you've got yours- I'm still waiting for mine and they were lodged at the same time. Many Thanks again for the beautiful photo - love you and look forward to your news Mum xxxx

dad Hi Gregg Spent most of last week in Canberra doing the Directors course. Went for 6 days inclusive of weekend, 12hours a day. fairly exhausted at the end of it but I learn't alot. There was a 2 and half hour exam at the end and i need to submit a fairly large assignment within 6 weeks. Work is very busy and problematic at times. Pop having a few health problems. He has had a couple of turns and had a recent MRI to see what is causing the problem. Hopefully they can work out what the problem is. Mark is arriving on saturday for a week so looking forward to seeing him. Your photos and messages are great, looks like you are enjoying yourself which is great. Do you have any job prospects in Canada yet? Teals told me she received an email from you which she appreciated. She is a refreshing addition to the work environment, its nice having her here. I've been invited to circ du solet (not sure how its spelt or pronounced but it will do) which is in sydney over the oct long weekend. Don't know alot about it but i've heard it is very good. Thanks for your email for fathers day, greatly apprecaited. thats about it for the moment, take care and enjoy love always dad xxoo

Mum I had a good chuckle over the Denver photos.....they are pretty povo, mate- especially the ones with stray heads in them. What were you thinking??? So lovely to have a chat the other day- even with the 5 sec delay. So glad to hear you are busy and having a wonderful time. Keep the photos rolling- I feel I am there with you. Love you and take care Mum xxx

Mum Hey Darlin, How lucky are you!! Loved the photos of camp and how great to meet such generous people in Chicago. It looks absolutely beautiful. I now know how you dislocated your shoulder!! Going by the action photos of camp I am surprised you survived with only a dislocated shoulder! It's great to see you looking well and happy in Mark's beanie. I suspect you may have re-opened an old wound there! Keep appreciating your new friend's kindness for you are very fortunate indeed!! Look forward to more of your news, Love You, Mum xxxxxx

Mark hey gregg, thought i'd just drop you a line cause i'm pretty bored at the moment.....how's all the camp crap and travel plans going?....uni has been really busy...i've had a lot of stuff due in lately so its been a bit hectic.....statistics is still the gayest subject ever....although management comes a close second....i've been put in this assignment group that won't listen to anything i say and all wanna do their own thing....so thats really annoying...plus i have this portfolio to do that is reccomended that you do at least 20000 words....( thats right....that isn't a typo)...the lecturer is also a w***er.....apart from that.....still meeting new people and having a great time on campus....pub crawl is next weekend so that should be interesting....julzy and ron finally bought their distiller...so i'm expecting some delicious home brewed spirits when i go home...which is in a month...time is really flying by... not much else has been happening....hope all is well with you and your shoulder is healing nicely...i'll talk to you again soon luv mark
