Hey Jill!

Christmas Eve here, which means that by the time you get this it'll be Christmas Day where you are! So, merry christmas! Managed to get all my shopping done on Tuesday after you rang so the stress is over. Just need to go pack for skiing now! Will send you a big e-mail before I go

Hopefully speak to you tomorrow anyway.

Love you,

Kate xx

Hi Lady

Hi Jill

Just wanted to wish you a merry christmas and a great new year. Still very envious of you but loving reading what you are doing and pleased you are enjoying it.Your apartment sounds amazing - hope you manage to find some work soon. Have just enjoyed an evening having a drink with Lesley Lowe and friends for her 50th birthday. Inless than an hour it will be christmas eve here so not long to wait. Have a great time and keep taking those photos! lots of love Carol xx

Hi Jill, Just wanted to say Happy Christmas! It looks like your having an amazing time over there in Oz! I'm loving reading all about your travels and seeing your pictures. It looks gorgeous, especially those blue skies….its cold and grey here, which is a bit depressing!I have one more day to work before I finish on Christmas Eve, then I'm off till after the New Year. I'm looking forward to a break. All the girls are going out on boxing night, so we will all have a drink for you! Hope you manage to get a good spot at the harbour to see the fireworks!!! Clear your memory by then so you can take loads of piccies. Hope the job hunting goes well…you will have to get one quick if you're wanting to keep up this 5 star luxury lifestyle, haha!Take care and have fun, lots of love Vic xxx
