Hi Josh I am so pleased you are going to the thousand islands , i was watching a program about them last night it was amazing so beautiful your camera will be going like crazy. But one thing to be prepared for is quite rough water to get there so be on the safe side and take some tablets.{i hope you did'nt lose them in your sponge bag)!!!What a horrible journey you had in the VIP bus ,still i guess its all patr and parcel of the trip and experiences that you will face. Vietnam looks extremely busy with loads of people on bikes (crazy as ,as crazy does !!!) . Would you be able to hire bikes or would you have to pass a test first . Anyway very cold today so i dont think anyone is going to feel to sorry for you having to wear shoes, we are going to be having another cold snap maybe some snow , who knows. Well got to get on Josh you take care and have eyes in the back of your head. lots of love Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey Josh, just at work and looked at all your photos, they are amazing!! Very jealous now, lol.

Not a really long message i'm afraid as im meant to be working!!! Keep hearing that song by Jason Mraz and it always reminds me of you!!! Were all out tomorrow night for the girls birthday so hopefully that will be good. Haven't got any goss i'm afraid, still really really happy with Lee it's going really well, he's great!! He say's hi. Jord is still asking for you everyday, but he is fine.

Take care Joshy, speak to you soon, love you loads, love your big sis xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hello love what an excellent blog for all of us to read, thanks very much , seems you thoroughly enjoyed tubing and doing back flips i would like to have seen Dan and Tye doing theirs, think i would have been cracked up.It will be good to see the pics which go with the occasions as that will be seeing the whole picture. That was a real c*** up this morning with our computer mucking up several times no idea what it was either . seems to be ok again at the moment. I should think you have to keep pinching yourself Josh it must feel like your in another world ! I have been creating a birthday book for grandad trying to put photos of all of us over the years to tell a story of our family, Annabel helped me alot infact i could'nt have done it without her input as she did the computer side of things downloading scanning etc, she was a star... Horrid day here grey damp just plain horrid, but its time for me to get on with some work so will catch up later . take good care love you lots mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Josh, thanks for your text. I have text a couple of times since but mum said you have lost your phone, nice one!!! Lol. Let me know when you get a new one. I would love to speak to you sometime. Jord is still asking for you everyday, missing you lots!! I might be changing my job but i will let you know when i know more, but hopefully i will be a teaching assistant at TMS school!! Lee is all good, he says hi and hopes your having a great time!! Speak to you soon Josh, look after yourself, carry on having a great time. Miss you loads, love you more xxxxxxxxxxxxx

thanks for the update josh sounds like your enjoying yourselves. remember although you think your only spending pennies they soon mount up.Jeanie said that massages in Bali are much cheaper so i should hang on for a while longer to have your next one. Wethink we have sorted out the skype but the proof will be in the viewing when you next get in contact. Really looking forward to seeing the photos. Hope you manage to do the tubeing tomorrow as it is the chinese new year i believe. Spect it will be packed. You take care love to everyone. love you mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Josh, so your off and running. Nice one. Sorry to hear you forgot to take any underpants, never mind you can always borrow your mates. The chickens laid a couple of eggs this morning so I had scrambled for breakfast. Left the toast in for too long but it was still ok. Apparently burnt toast can give you runny stools so just be aware of that.

Crissie and I watch as many travel programmes as possible but so far haven't managed to catch a glimpse of you. Still early days.

Must go got a hole in the plank and need to get some cork for my ears before it all goes pear shaped. Chow for now.
