Big Sis Bonjour, hope all super, and that you're surfing superbly and tanning beautifully! Muchus Love xxxxxxxxxx

Big sis Ha ha, nobody loves you!!! Only joking, however when everybody forgets me - as they would appear to have you, going by your message board, then please do as I have for you, and make me feel loved and cherished, if only by one measly member of my family! Anyhow hope things are fantastic hot and sunny (I bet your white bits glow through your shorts by now!). I have not recieved one postcard either so I better have an awesome present when you get home! X an embarrasingly sloppy kiss from Moi! Miss and love ya muchly xxxxx

Big Sis Hey smeg, hows things? More pictures please numpty - I need ideas for our trip! Make sure you note down and decent places to pick up work! Hows the surfing then? I don't suppose you wanna hide your surfboard somewhere so that when I come over I can go find it - maybe draw a map and hide it in a big bush - it'll be a proper treasure trail! Anyhow on that random note - miss ya muchly and see ya soon! xxxxx

Big Sis & Big Bro Hey goon, great update. Good to see you're still pretending to be a surfer - how long til you give it up ?? - This must be a john hobbie-interest time record!! Anyway I am in Plymouth in Jim's room about to go and scrounge a free meal off of Dad! Keep having muchus fun and make sure you head back to Fraser I sland as everyone says its wicked! Love Moi and Jim xxxxxx

Big sis Hey bro, sorry I haven't wrote in a while.  Hope alls well out there, I love you're latest photos, some of them are well good.  If they're taken with you're camera then we may have to do a deal - meaning I'll steal it while I'm away!!  I sent you a message on ya birthday and tried calling but no go, can you e-mail me the number that works as I've got a couple and not sure which is which.  Keep taking photos and send Gran and Grandad a postcard!  Miss ya muchly,  when you home?  Love Moi xxxxx
