sorry mispelt a couple of words where I was trying to get this off quickly

Ho hum

What an amazing trip you are having Jen, now you are going to have the travel bug firmly installed in your brain and will not want to come back......I wouldn't blame you either it sounds fab and we love hearing about your exploits too. Keep sending us your updates.

Netball was great last night against Peakes, they hadn't lost a single game until they played us, and I must say experience won against youth, vitality, energy, speed, etc etc etc ...do you know what, I think I must be feeling old and slow in comparison. Had a great night at Anni's after with Caroline's birthday pressie night, she had some lovely things and espeially the traditional cake and candles. I bet she wished she was with you in the sunshine and suf!. We also pulled out our names for Secret Santa too, I've got................(No girls you cannot find out who it is by reading Jen's blog, you'll have to wait!) it's a shame you won't be with us in the house this year but we will think of you on the beach and raise a toast to you.

Jane and I have entered the 'Walk the Walk' again for next May, so no doubt we will have to start walking in the wind and the rain to prepare for this. Oh God my feet hurt already ...how did I let Jane talk me into this one again, we must be mad. Anyway take care and keep on having loads of fun, and keep laughing, laughter is the key to a long and happy life.......if not, well at least you would die laughing

Love ya Daff xx

Just had a look at your photos - wow they look fantastic you all look like you are having grt fun, some really precious memories to look back on. Surfing, hum is this you getting ready to chat up the surfing hunks on Bondi beach?

Look out Australia.......here comes Jen!

Enjoy enjoy you little beach bum!! Will await your next installments. luv Ju x

Hi Jen, glad you are still having fun, surfing sounds great. When you come home you can go to Boscombe Reef and show them all how its done, might meet a blond surfer - think I might start having lessons myself. Had lovely birthday night on Tuesday with girlies after a freezing night of netball. Beautiful Thorntons birthday cake from Jude - best ever and lots of lovely pressies, some didn't fit so maybe I should lay off the cake. Great to hear from you. Take care and will speak soon.

Hi ya

Just to let you know that its bitterly cold here, north winds, snow in Hampshire, heating, hats, scarfs & gloves on.... oh to be in the sunshine.

So Jen don't you worry about us all here freezing our little hands off at netball last night, just don't forget Jen to turn over and rub a little bit more suntan cream in - still not jealous you know!! x

Hi Jen

Ali and Ju have told you about our night out but what they didn't tell you was.....just that they couldn't remember much about getting home! They were well looked after though.

The girls won again yesterday against Weston, not really the strongest team, we won 57-32 but they haven't got a point off any of the other Team's they've played. They played well but not sure why they didn't capitalise on a fantastic first quarter. Still they keep on winning. I think Shelley Barnes is back and is going to come to training. She was at the match watching but I didn't really speak to her.

I'm on holiday this week, not going away but just nice to be off.

Keep the updates coming, we're all really enjoying being part of your trip.

Take Care.

Love Annie x

Hi Jen

I am so not jealous at all, really sounds like you are having a ball, I think all your friends that read your blogs wish they were with you, I know I do!

We had a good time last night went out for Alis b'day I think one too many glasses sorry bottles of red wine and GT's were drunk OMG what a bad head this morning....never again, well not until Tuesday night that is! Doesn't really beat sitting by the pool thou. I think I need one of those pamper days to help me get over this.

The clocks go back tonight at least we get an extra hour in bed.

Jen keep having fun. LOL Ju x

Hi Jen, great to hear from you. It all sounds so exciting and definitely beats the crap weather here. Looking forward to our night out tonight (little black dress night). Do you think one day we might be too old for all this nonsense - no neither do I. Anyway take care and enjoy. Speak soon. Ali xxx

Hello my sweetie....

Sounds absolutely fantastic. Gosh if only I did that in my youth. Unfortunately I travelled the world playing netball and didn't manage to see much of the sights.. It's something that you will never, ever forget so enjoy every mo...

Weather not brill here, but not bad either, at least it's not raining.. They say we are going to have 80% for Xmas (not).. I've just booked a holiday to Jamaica in Feb (shhhh, it's for my 40th, but dont tell anyone).

Hope the trip gets better and better, there is no doubt on that I am sure. Please take care and look after yourself! Lots of love and will check on you again soon.

Love

Hi Jen

Wow, what a cheap pamper, make sure you can remember all the tricks of the trade so we can turn our Tuesday nights into pamper nights instead of pig out nights when you come back.

By the way, we beat Bournemouth 2 on Tuesday thank goodness, good game but getting colder now, think of us whilst you are lazing by the pool in all that beautiful sunshine.

It's Ali's birthday next week and guess what........ we've all decided to go out for a drink together, how amazing is that !!! What do you mean that's not unusual ! we're fitness people we don't drink !! anyway, it's going to be a little black dress night on Friday so should be good fun.

Keep having fun yourself, what an amazing trip take care
