Hi you two, Jody your dad will come to pick you up next monday but you will have to wait at the airport for a while, He will not finish work until about two o clock so that means he will probably be there between four & five pm. Dont forget to make sure your phone is charged so that your dad can contact you. Can't wait to see you both next week , have a safe journey home, love mom & dad xxxxx

It looks like you all might land together better start cooking now!!!!Booked Lauren for you 4.30pm (our time!)Thursday 20th July ,she asked why you were coming back early so I told her you were fed up and sounded hungry, she said she will put the barbecue on for you at the shop.Em might still be at home on your return, but only just , they have gone to view another apartment today,but never fear you're baby sister is still here. She has got 2:1 for her 2nd year so she is thrilled to bits.Mandy Keep in touch, am off to Tesco's now to fill the cupboards for your return!!!!!!

Hi everyone,
As you've probably all heard by now, we're returning home a week early. We didn't get much chance to explain why on the phone but it's just because we've been here long enough really. We've had some rainy and cloudy days which completely defeats the whole point of Fiji (and there's nothing to do here when you can't sunbathe!) and aparently it's winter here so it's not going to get much better. So we're coming home!! :-) If you have any Duty Free orders (we'll buy it in LA) then now's the time to speak up!!
Dad, The flight number from Fiji (Nadi) to LA is QF3839 (www.Qantas.com if you want to check on its progress) and it leaves Nadi at 22.00 local time (11 hours ahead of you there so it'll be 1pm on 16July) Then the connecting flight leaves LA at 17.50 local time (not sure how far ahead of you LA is but think it'll be about 3.30am on 17 July there.) The flight number is BA282 (British Airways) We should land in Heathrow Terminal 1 at 12 midday UK time (!) on 17July so we'll call you once we're through Customs etc. If you're at work we can organise a time and place to meet you when we speak. Is that OK? Let me know through the website if there are any problems.
Right, Kirsty, well done on your Cabin Crew test... will you be on our flight home to serve us our in flight meals and give us our headphones? he he Also, Good luck with the Driving Test if it's before i get home... maybe Dad will let you drive down to Heathrow when you pass!!! ;-)
We're going to need a lesson in English currency when we return. I found a pound coin in the bottom of Danny's bag the other day and didn't know what it was!!! oops!
Hope you had a good Bday mom, i look forward to seeing the photos you took...
And Em... stop with the rain dance, if the good weather you've been having stops before we get back i'll be so mad at England... trust it to be hot while we're away.
Hayley, i'm not gonna call F&Bs while i'm here but i'll pop in when i get back. (I'm still not quite over the fact that they boil their chicken!!!) Is Guy still there? might have a word with him about getting on the floor if i go back there. Got so much to do in the month before starting my course in Worcs that i'm not sure i'll have time to work there!!
Right, we've found the only place in Fiji that serves Lasagne (we've been craving!!) so we're off to lunch now.
Hope all's ok back there - if there's any gossip, fill me in!!! (Addi, Kym, how was your holiday? Kat? Where are you? Are you all still doing Quiz-like activities??)
See you all soon
Lots of Love

Hi everyone...just a quick hello as i realised i haven't put a post on in a while!
As Danny said, the food here is a bit rubbish - they are charging too much for chicken kiev and chips and calling it fresh chicken stuffed with cheese and ham and rolled in fresh breadcrumbs with sauteed potatoes and fresh local vegetables!!! oh well... back soon to the only country in the so-far visited world that can cook apparently!!
Like Danny said, we're spending most of our time here sunbathing - the tans are coming along well... Danny has reduced to Factor 15... but is reapplying every 15 minutes... i'm pretty sure that means he's wearing at least factor 30 most of the time and is becoming quite brown!! I've been making the mistake of wearing my sarong wrapped round me most of the time (i just can't take the sun like Danny can... i have to go sit in the shade for half an hour after every 10 minutes of sun!!! oh well, half of my legs and my face is brown!!
If i don't get to put another message on before (internet rates here at the resort are extortionate compared to in town - the same as everything else) Happy Birthday to mom on Tuesday 4th... i'll call you on the special day!!! start thinking about what you want as a present... we'll go shopping for it when i get back!
Anyway, time's up...speak soon everyone
Lots of love
momma
