Hi guys, just a quick one today as concentration levels are low due to gun shot sounds and opera music coming from the computer opposite me! 1. Danny now calls me JC as he has realised after 2 years of being my boyfriend that they are my initials!!! 2. I'd like to know, as i'm sure you all do, how exactly Danny knows what Imperial Leather tastes like...hmmm yes yes, he was very brave putting jellyfish in his mouth, especially as i wasn't too happy at the prospect of chicken even, it was raw and you had to boil it...i repeat boil chicken for it to be edible...who ever heard of boiling meat??? anyway, the marvels of south east Asia are to be saved for a time when i'm not under virtual gunfire... lots of love (PS mom and dad...go home!!!! i tried calling today and it took money even though the call didn't connect - stupid phone!!)

Right... off to walk down the road and knock over a few people who walk into me (inevitable - it happens about every 5 mins!!)

Hey all,
Cool to hear from u toz , ste could of done without it u work at SAINSBURYS , the travelling is cool looking forward to oz got a 7 hour flight on saturday looking forward to cheap wine!!!!!!!!!!, Still on singers, not much to update so thought i would tell u bout the food we have been chomping on ( r u listening vincent ) I ate jelly fish kinda tastes like imperial leather , we had a steam boat in malaysia , its a huge bowl of boiling broth on heat at your table half chicken half spice and u chuck stuff in J.C ( jodes new name ) stuck to the chicken where as i had a couple of tiger beers so had fish balls, squid, shrimps was cool , but felt rough the next day. In Melaka in malaysia we went out with the tour leader people for satay , basically a big hole in the middle of the table and the put in a pot full of a sweet peanuty style sauce and u dump tour raw ingredients in on sticks then wait 5 mins and chomp, was cool i had a full chilli that nearly killed me, and some clams which tasted like soil. didnt try the pigs ears not enough beers in the world for that!!! We are just messing around before we go and get a 1 GB memory card in uk bout 50 quid we already got them down to 30 but we can do better just send in angry jode we want it for bout 20 , its well cool getting things cheap , the are all knocked off so they should be cheap. Bin emotional talking to u all, Im going to search and see how wayne is doing , catch u all later .

hey dan and jode, sounds like you're having fun hope all the NZ confirmations were ok! it's not a good point to be homeless! all is well in rainy number 12, mum and I have spent most of the week on our own, it's been like being an only child and as i'm on nights I've been spoilt rotten to keep me sweet.
I hope you have a safe journey over the waters, and the price of booze is greatly reduced, looking forward to your NZ top 10 dan, stay safe and be happy lots of love em xxx

(kirst told me u call her a chav for having her nails done!) trying to think if theres any gossip for you....went to see the davinci code yest-seen it yet? its proper good!not as good as the book tho. one month until me and Kym go on holiday, i cant wait to get away and do nothing for 2 weeks! as im racking my brains trying to think of more stuff my sister is getting on my back about getting off the internet - all these youngsters are into that my space rubbish....i feel really old saying that!still missing you, lots of love.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello everyone, us again, just checking over our NZ and Oz stuff today and confirming so that we don't show up to a hotel that doesn't exist - all's going well so far :)
Danny smells too much to have any friends so i'll assume he wrote those last 2 messages himself!!! just joking - hi guys!!! he's missing his wednesday beers Ste - alcohol costs loads here so we're 'detoxing' (saving money - it's like 3 quid a bottle of wine in Oz apparently hmmm...)

Hi Mom and Dad - hoping to call home today with a scary phone card with a parrot on it... don't worry if we can't get through, probably just too stupid to use the phone card!!! What with topping up my phone, there's no point at the moment really as i can't make outgoing calls at all which is the main reason i can't top up and if i had credit, i couldn't call home anyway!!! don't know how you'd do it for my phone anyway - you can do Danny's through the cashpoints at home but don't think O2 has that function!!!

Pictures are being worked on - we have lots for the zoo and some on the disposables but uploading them is being a real issue as nowhere will do it and sending them home will cost us about 70 quid if you want them to get there in less than 3 months - as Maureen and Alf say, we're assuming that Oz and NZ will be more civilised in the world of the internet - we'll figure it out!!!

Anyway, best go help with confirming things, will speak to you all soon

Lots of love

Hi you two, Hope you are both ok & still enjoying yourselves, sorry i keep missing your calls jo but some of us still work for a living!!! i'm just starting to enjoy drinking gin so get the recipe for the singapore sling it sounds like a nice drink. Message from your dad all your forms to the L. E. A. have been posted & we think you have had an acknowledgement from them.

Your dad is working hard in the bathroom putting on the new tiles ready to fit the new shower it's all looking very nice. Hope to see some great photos soon now you have a digital camera, I have to keep looking at the photo of you all that is on the unit in the living room just so i dont forget what you look like, It would be nice to have a update.

Hi both of you good to hear you are enjoying your holiday, you seem to be seeing all the sights which sore can be such a culture shock at first hope you enjoyed your singapore slings at Raffles we had afternoon tea as I dont like gin which is the base of the drink. I bet you are looking forward to Australia and New Zealand I think you will findi it a little more civilised than the Far East. We are looking forward to our holiday in Dubai we fly out on Whitsun Monday cannot wait to get some sun just rain and cloud here at the moment. Well bye for now look after yourselves all our lovexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey guys :) Sorry i haven't been in touch for so long, i don't think i've stopped for longer than 5 minutes for about a month!! Not doing anything exciting, just work and family stuff. Just been reading through and catching up on your travel stories. I obvioulsy missed lots, including an interesting name change ;) I can't belive you're in Singapore already! I think you should go on the night safari, and look out for the fishing cats (i hope they still have them!), they were really cute! And i dare you both to eat a durian fruit, if you get the chance...if you haven't already! I will try and email you soon Jode, but i'm having problems getting onto my hotmail...its all going well ;) Hope you are still really enjoying it :) Love you and miss you lots. xxx
