BRO!

Sounds like you're having a great experience.  I must be checking your website at least 5 times a day to see if you have updated it (plus it makes for a great excuse not to be revising for my exams, which by the way, are completely sucky!)

Missed you over xmas, but im sure you'll appreciate the experience of being over in Oz. Everyone at uni is loving the "Spider-Face" photo ( as am I) (p.s. I have been looking for that t-shirt for absolutely ages! oh well, i suppose it is time that I pay you back a bit eh?)

Apparently im havin my head shaved like you on friday to celebrate my end of exams, all i need then is a spider and then we can be twins.

anyway, im glad you having a great time. looking forward to hearing from you soon.

peace out bruv 

luv ya

Alright Popeye,

 First time i have been on your website and I have to say its nice to see Ryan is spreading vicous rumours around the world about my good self!! I deny all of these rumours, Ryan was tucked up in bed at home on New Years eve so its all rumour mill!!

Its good to see that everything seems to be going well, I don't know if you have seen much of Soapstar superstar out there but if you have I hope you have been voting for Dr K, we are drumming up a vote Dr K campaign back here!!

Anyway speak to you soon mate i best go and do some work before i leave in 15mins.

Hey you,

Glad you've managed to update your site, it's nice to have something to read when i should be working!

I'm really pleased you enjoyed your very sophisticated wine tasting course today, even if the more you drank the less information you remembered! Think we might need to have another attempt when you get home, any excuse really and i'm sure Charlotte would love to add add her expert opinion when it comes to the white variety!

A few hours ago I think you'd just left the pub after coming 2nd in their quiz, hardly the life of a stuggling back packer, where's the cheese slice sandwiches??

It's lovely to read all the messages people have left you, even the strange exploits of Lucie and the environmental health which i'm still convinced she should turn into a book, she'd make a fortune.  

Everyone is asking after you as usual and wishing you well. I'm still missin you like crazy but then you know that already. Please keep taking care, i need you in one piece xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi James,

Happy New Year, hope you'll have a good one! I just thought I would update you on my living situation. The "rats" actually turned out to be MICE!!!!! I had the shock my life when confronted by one last Tues morning when I got up. By Tues night I had vacated the flat. In other words I did a bunk, a moonlight flit or whatever you want to call it. On Tues afternoon a man from Environmental Health came out to put some baits around my flat and he gave me a very severe ear-bashing - kim and Aggie style :) Kathryn and Leanne would probably say I deserved it :) Anyway, didn't feel safe to stay there so called a man and a van who helped me to flee. I've moved to a nice new flat in West Didsbury where there are no mice and no silverfish. I feel blessed that I managed to find it so soon but I'm now in hiding from the manager of the old place as see also blamed me for attracting rats in the garden outside my window by throwing food scraps out there. I think she might try to bill me for the call-out charges from the council. Anyway, hope you're having a brilliant time and not missing Ofsted too much.

Bye for now,

Lucie

Alreet Marra,

As per ryan's message, 2-2 against the red scum gettin!

looks like you're having a cracking time, mind you you've got cojones letting that spider walk on your face.

Hi James,

Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas, we all hope you enjoy your day on the beach in the sunshine. We're all thinking of you but are sure you are ok. We're about to go out to the Duke of York with everyone from the Avenue for some Christmas drinks so we'll make sure we have one for you too.

Take care,

Lots of love

Mum, Dad, Matt, Marc, Charlotte and Merlin 

Hello Tigger

Well that spider picture was truelly terrifying you nutter! Glad you are having fun and looking super bronzed already, us pasty things left in England feel very jealous.

Well news from here as Lucie so nicely put it she has rats, I only found this out midway through eating her buffet food! I have myself a new fella who is of course tall, dark and handsome :-) amazingly after a month he is still interested so watch this space!

I'm ubber excited about Christmas and am going home for the whole time so my mum is fluffing the cushions in eager enticipation! I hope you have a fun xmas in the sun and find a turkey dinner to eat!

Well lots of love and hugs. keep having fun (but try not to do too many of the scary things that make Kathryn wince!)

Yo Dude! Just thought I would say hi and wish you a very merry christmas. Hope you are doing ok and having the time of your life. Enjoy every second, it is so soon gone! Lots of love, Helen.

Hi James!

Hope you're having a brilliant time on your adventure. I'm off to Iran in February, seriously! Hope you'll have a good Christmas however you decide to spend it. Leanne thought it would be funny for me to tell you about my "Rat Problem" (no, not human ones like Marwan for a change - we're talking rats of the FURRY anf four-legged variety!)   eeek! There has been a "sighting" in my flat so yesterday at work Andre phoned Manchester Council's Environmental Health Pest Control Department on my behalf to report the problem. An inspector is coming out to visit the flat next week. Leanne R thought that this funny story would tickle you and make you laugh :) I hope so.

Ps, you missed a bit of my baking at work today. We had the Christmas buffet. My contribution was supposed to be Icelandic bread but by the time I had finished making them they were more like a cross between chapatis  and donuts. Thank God everybody is still alive and well.

Hope you're enjoying yourself. Can I give you a call if I need you to help me out of any more sticky situations by posing as my "husband"? (Just joking )

Best wishes, Lucie
