Your photos are stunning- can't believe the view from Naomie's room! And the bungee jump! Haha I love how you have 62 written all over you- is that so you are easier to identify if you splat and die?

The earthquake the other day was sooo cool- it was really strong in Nottingham and I woke up to the whole house shaking, which was a really weird sensation.

I thought I would take the liberty of updating you on neighbours. Susan is ok, well she is having a series of minor strokes but she isn't going to prison and everything is back to normal. I, personally, was very relieved. Hollyoaks is good as well- Sasha is becoming a drug addict and the other week there was a big hold up in the Dog and Jack nearly died and Darren got shot. I ws shouting JACK! RUTH! JILL! GINAAAACH! but nobody got it and that made me a bit sad.

Keep having fun- me and Matt are sorting out the flights so all is good. Can't wait- we're going to have so much fun! Can't wait to take you to White Castle, the worst fast food chain ever, to get you a slider (a burger that costs about 10p and is so named because it slides straight out...)

Lots of love xxx

Is there a loo in the bungee jump cabin?!

Stunning photos- no wonder you love NZ so much!

Yet another cracking set of blog photos Katie, keep them coming. I couldn't believe you doing the bungy jump and now I've seen the photos I find it even harder to believe!! Scary stuff. xxxx

Hallo Katie, I am soooo in admiration of your bungy jump, I just wouldn't have the nerve. Good for you! You do not have all the excitement though, we had an earthquake in the UK early this morning and yes the earth did move for me. It was in Lincolnshire, but felt up in Scotland and over in Wales and my bed definitely shook. Oh and by the way, tell Mark that very elderly aunts still have dial up in 2008. Love AJ

hey dude

your blogs are so good, like a history lesson! knowing all the facts if i did one wld be stories of getting drunk!

crolla wrote on here about my temp job hearing the pigs squeel before they are killed nice! bit like gps with some employees there (think we know who i am talking about) cant believe you did the bungiee so impressed! will have a look at the video in a mo!

loving the tramp dressing up! was it as good as the pirates? less then two weeks then alan and i off! missing you dude! did you see the special pics from crolla bday keeping it going!

xxxxx

I think Katie had dial up until 2007?

Ps. Mark, I had a similar curiosity, but alas I didn't have the patience to trawl through google. Please can you send me the links for a moosey anyway. Are there photos?

Katie, I have just spent an indefensible amount of my time searching the internet to corroborate your story of the dragged/splatted bungy employee and to satisfy my obscene curisoty with further details. I regret to report, I have been unsuccessful, despite my research including thorough studying of a site dedicated entirely to bungy jumps gone wrong. I'm thinking maybe the staff at Nevis made up this story to warn anyone who might have been thinking of taking a passenger down with them.

On an entirely separate and much more serious note, I'm literally horrified that you have chosen to associate with and are counting amongst your friends someone who has actual dial-up! What has happened to your common sense and judgement of character? What kind of outcast has dial-up in 2008?! Run, Katie! Run like the wind!

My lord above Catherine Hancock! You have turned into some sort of adrenaline demon!!! I am in shock! ANd I also take back the peals of laughter I dished out when you said you were going to be climbing a (modest) mountain as you have climbed a glacier thingymabob now, and that is a massive achievement, one which I am clearly gouing to try and have to top. Might go and poke a lion with a stick, betcha wouldn't be brave enough to do that, would ya?!?! (seeing as this is central london, I may have to go and just poke a cat with a stick for the time being, but if I find any foxes they are also going to get a good stick poke, and THEY have rabies.)

I tipped a cup of tea (luke warm, worry not) over my housemate today. While typing on here I am also looking up anger management classes. It was a pure moment of comedy though (for me, he is smashing drums angrily in his room which is making me laugh even more, truth be told). I have gone into more detail on FB.

Be safe!! Hope you get a few days of relaxing now you have settled for a bit!xxxxx

It scared me just to read about all your exploits! But enjoying it all tremendously from my nice safe seat at the computer!

AMAZING! I want to do a bungee jump and walk on a glacier. That was my favourite instalment yet

Hi Katie, how are you doing.? Having lots of fun by the sound of it. I love reading your message board. Nearly died laughing about the Health and Safety Monitor job in an abattoir, sorry Jules, but it sounds really freakish ! And I don't want to know what goes in the sausages. Keep safe Love AJ

Katie Katie Katie - sounds like lots of fun was had at the Poo Bar (hehehe - the name makes me laugh!) Love reading the blog - bring it on! I think you'd be a brilliant godmother to Carly's children - you can be the person they run to when they've got detention at school and daren't tell their mum.

I've had a nightmare week - some bloomin students kicked my car wing mirror off but not completely so I had to drive it to work with the window open and the wing mirror (suspended from its wires) tucked in the window. Also my car tyre went flat at work and I couldn;t change it as I wasn't strong enough so had to call the AA. Grrr! Looking forward to some quality Bury time next week.

Love you and miss you,

Mwah x x x
