p.s me and nic ish are here and are wondering why you have replied to rick and not to our messages.....sob sob!

Hi Rick,

Thanks for looking after the sponge, yeah I think you should toughen him up, it's about time he realised it's a jungle out there on those mean streets of Bolton!
Glad to hear you are no longer a gypsy and that you now have a home for those purchases - the scales, Hungry Hippo and more Levi's merchandise than there is in the whole of the USA!
Have fun camping in the height of winter - crazy human!
Love Julie x

Hey JP,

Are you still in plaster? You look lovely & brown on your pics. Kim flew out on Saturday on her hols. We had a good time on Janine's B'day, we will all go to pizza express when you get back it was really nice. Nothing much to report, I'm staying in until xmas plus its too cold to go out !! When are you going to Oz?

Speak Soon xx

Hi chick
hope all is well, any new gossip?hows the leg?
Ive just been looking at the flat i told you about and is gorgeous but quite pricey so not sure what i should do about it!
josh still covered in chicken pox and i am now having to buy shares in camomile lotion!
trying to persuade someone to go out and have a drink with me tonight but noones having any of it!ahhhhhhh
give us a mail back and by the way, very impressed with your story of how you hurt your leg.personally i would have gone for fighter jet pilot, hurt it when i had to emergency eject whilst on a dangerous mission but if you need to use it, feel free!
love yasxxxxx

Hi bird, nice to know your managing with the broken leg - and using it to your advantage to pick up blokes, nice one, I'm proud of you!
Well not much news from me really. Went out with the girls the other week and had a good night, felt really crappy the day after though - ah well, has to be done I guess.
Anyway, keep having loadsa fun and take it easy on that leg, you dont wanna fall out of any more cages!
Em xxx PS - What the frigg is a bunzl tabard?!

Finally you are realising a small amount of what it's like to be me!
Bunzl (you must learn to spell this) tabard and a filth wagon.

Sponge is doing good - very vocal, he was a bit quiet during halloween though, think he might be a bit of a softie - I'll try and toughen him up.

Read your message to Kim - outrageous and possibly the worst story ever, but if it works..............

Moved into my rental place last night - I am no longer of no fixed abode!

Going camping in the lakes this weekend with Dougill and co. - it's freezing here by the way, perfect temperature for living in a tent!

Take it easy kid, really hope you don't have to come home chick (in the nicest way).

Hi Kimbers,

Yeah all is good. I have a wicked tan now and can actually go for miles on my crutches. It's sad but all I can think is - wow this is good for toning my arms! I have met some fab and might I just add - gorgeous people who are more than willing to help me! Mental note - if you wanna pull without trying - fracture your leg, or just get a cast and crutches, a good story and blag it. My new story is that I was perfec ting a dance routine in one of the cages at the local nightclub - Bounty and I got so carried away, that when I did my back flip into splits I fell out of the cage - and that's how it happened - true story!

Anyway, enough about my leg - I've milked it enough - hope you have a fantastic holiday and do my think of sunbathe, eat good food, drink and have fun - goes without saying.

Missing you loads, love you

Julie x x x

Hi Rick,

I've just got to say ( for the last time ever) that 'Bunzel' and 'Tabard' should never be used in the ame sentence again - I nearlt threw up over my 'made in Thaiwan' crutches! Please overt your eyes next time and don't go lookinf for the van - that's just asking for heartache!

Hope you and the other monkies are doing ok without me. How'e the Sponge?

P.S. - Milky bar crunch - not bad, but not up to the usual 'crunch' standards!

Love Julie x x

Hi Hun,

Sorry not been in touch for a while but Nic's been keeping me updated.
Hope your OK. How's the leg? Nic has just got an e-mail from you explaing whats happening with the specialist etc. Hope everything goes ok and you get to stay on your BIG adventure until the end.
Only 3 days until I go on holiday, can't wait!
I've been reading your journals again and looking at your pictures, your so brave. I was reading about the trip on the bus and then the ferrys and the bag snatcher, I think I'd of sat on the floor and cried. So proud of you. Like I always say you may be small but nobody should mess with little Jules. It feels like you've been gone forever - can't wait to see you. I will keep my promise aswell and go see your mum over Christmas. Let me know if you want me to get her anything for you - you can pay me back when you stop being a lazy bum, just sunbathing, surfing, drinking and sleeping.
Anyway I'll speak to you again when I'm back from my very posh holiday. Can't wait!
Love you loads xx

Forgot to mention - having seen this horrific sight I then looked across the car park and there was the filth waggon (Bunzl van).

Hi Jules

Got an update from you just as I was going to inform you of a horrific incident.

Casually walking out of Asda and a woman walks past me - looks nice enough, no obvious signs of malice and then................... I notice she is wearing what can only be described as a Bunzl tabard!

Did you try the Milky Bar Crunch?

Take it easy kid.

Hi Caroline

Lovely to hear from you. Yeah I'm ha ving a good time apart from the fratured leg but I am keeping myself busy by gettng a good tan and eating lots of good food. Can't believe J is 1 already! Time fly's. So how was you night out - any trips to the hospital for you or projectile vomitting from Emma? If you can send some piccies that would be great, say hi to Ian and give J a big kiss from me. LOve ya, miss ya Julie

Hi Mand's

I am very proud of the outfit choice, as discussed, just need the picture evidence. Next time you go out you will have to d rink twice as much to make up for the drinking I can't do (tiny violin playing in the background!). Anyway chick, speak soon and be good. Love you lots Julie x x x

Hi Rick

So your making use of the Tussauds pass then. No further sightings but I have seen Milky bar crunch which I am going to try to see if it is just a poor man's dairy crunch. It seems you are being stalked by Bunzel at the moment - my advice would be to check round every corner you turn - just in case! Yeah the leg is a bot of a bummer but there are advantages - I will be flying to Oz business class, some other sucker will be carrying my bags, and I get pushed round in a wheel chair!
Warning - wait to you see the next pics!

Take care Julie x x x

Hi Ian

Nice to hear from you. I am having a wicked time met some lovely people, you would just love it. My biggest decision today is which suncream to buy! I'm surprised you don't have any stories of wild nights out - you will have to try harder and make sure I'm the first to know about it! Take care Julie x x x
