Hey Hunny!

Well, I managed to plough my way through your latest instalment! I am glad I did because it sounds fantastic. I am jealous of your cooking course - you will have to give me some tips! I respect your decision to stay with Charlotte when the others went on the elephants, but I would have found that a difficult choice - I would have loved to do it.

As your mum said, the weather is nice now that we have gone back to school! We went down to Kent for half term, and didn't see the sun until the last Saturday! I only have two more weeks at school, including this one, and then am off to Aber for a week. Then I will be done Yippeee! I have had 3 job interviews so far, and have another on Thursday, which I am really hoping I will get because I am bored of the whole process now. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I am really looking forward to having you back home. I don't know how much I will be around, but we will definately make time to catch up, although I am sure you will have plenty of people to meet up with. You never know, you might have to help us move house!!!

Take care, keep having fun, and I look forward to hearing from you whenever you have the chance. Love you!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The cookery course looked good. Does this mean we can expect some Asian Haute cuisine when you get home? Must say it will make a change from macaroni cheese!! Well, the weather is lovely here, but then it would be now that we're back at school! Talking of which, I suppose I'd better go & do some work - reports await! Look forward to seeing the next instalment of your journal. Take care (& hide your money!)

Hey ann, chang mai looked wicked and your cookery course sounds so good that i think we should do one too!
I hope we get to meet up but it is proving tricky, non? I am going to be online at 9 pm tomorrow if you can be to maybe we \can try to sort meeting up. If not then maybe we will have to just see each other in good ol' kent. Hope not. Can't believe we are in the same country and not able to meet up.
Take care
Jane

just to let you know we got the flowers today - they are absolutely lovely - THANKYOU!! Love as always xxxxx

It seems that no-one else is sending you messages at the moment!
Hope all is well as we haven't heard any news for a while. We are fine - weather has been dreadful, but in spite of all the rain wouldn't you know there's a hosepipe ban!! get in touch soon as we like seeing your photos & reading about your exploits! Not a lot else for us to do. Aaahhhh! Lots of love xxxxx

just to let you know - the parcel arrived yesterday & we'll be able to pass on stuff to Granny & Jennie on Sat as we're meeting them in Salisbury when they get back from their Fjiord trip. What a well-travelled lot we are! It was great to hear your voice on Sunday & glad all is OK. Have a wonderful time in Bankok & beyond - we'll look forward to the next instalment in your journal. Love as always M&D xxxxxxxxxxx

What a shame about the weather - we're so sorry for you!! No doubt you'll still enjoy yourselves. I'm STILL having problems texting you so PLEASE ask Charlotte to check your/her phone & send me a text so that I can make sure I have the correct number - I just need to know I can get in touch if I need to (I can hear that sigh from here - but I'm allowed to fuss - I'm your mother!!) Hope the weather improves & you have a great time with Jane - not long now. Lots & lots of love from us both xxxx

I have a feeling the rain will ease when you meet up with me-after all i am a ray of sunshine that brightens rooms wherever i go! hehehe!
I hope the rain eases so that you can see cambodia in all it's glory. Will be kinda sucky if all your pics look like a wet, grey day in rainham!
