Hello you two, Now that would be a sight to see, Nanas picking and packing themselves!!! Think that could be kind of scary!! Anyway what have i been up to. Well i played rugby on Sat. Very frustrating game. Basically i did a slightly off tackle and the stupid ref: gave them a try instead of carding me!!! How annoying!! Anyway Sunday was better. Played hockey and played in defence for the first time ever!! I had a really good game and they let me play for a whole 90 minutes!!!! Can you beleive it!!!! Was really fun! We drew 2-2 which was a pretty good result for us. Also I made Darren buy a Christmas tree and decorate the entire house on Sat. Was so much fun and everything looks very pretty and Christmassy as long as you don't look outside and see the sun!!!

Speak soon

I am damaged! I wa playing netball and landed funny on ankle. Lots of bruising and swelling- sob sob sob! Went to Casualty and had lots of fun getting an X-ray while they poked it. Nasty people! Good thing is I can't drive so had to take the day off work! Nothing to report apart from being injured! Hope the nanas are okay! Callie x

Hello to all the Barkers, your quite right mum did have to pay ste ( one to the girls) Amy good on you if you can get some extra sick days. Dad we always know penny would take over tess's role sooner or later.

I are poorly!!!!! Do you want the other dosh now? MumXXXX

Hi you two, hows it going. Good to here the blisters are getting better, sounds like you will just have got the hands and feet broken in when it's time to stop work. Sounds like it might be a fun sort of shopping trip trying to buy useful pressies for each other for $10. The pictures are great, I really enjoy looking at them. Yet more piccies of Katy and Steve aswell with Disney characters (how much did she pay you Ste.... 1 for the girls Kate) Well it is still extremely cold here and there has been quite a lot of snow around the country. We had it here last Thursday night . It was bad enough for me to walk to work but then you no me, won't drive in it. They turned the xmas lights on in Newtown on Friday so we went down to watch and look around the little street market and saw the fireworks. Saturday we went to Finches with two of the ladies I work with and there husbands for a quiz night. It was good fun but we weren't very good but did not come last either. Well it's back to work again, next few weeks will be busy I expect as we are almost into December and only a couple of shopping weeks to go. Anyway have a good weekend away then you will only have a couple of weeks left at being nana farmers. Have fun and look after each other speak again soon love to you both Mum.

Hi Guys
Good to see you working at last. You need to post plenty of pictures of the banana farm etc and you two working as I am sure that its all pretend.
Seems to be going well,and as you say only another couple of weeks and you are back on the trail back to Sydney for Christmas.
Looks as if I may have to work between Christmas and New year but at least I will be able to get some time off in February with Mum. So we will need to decide what we are going to do with the time.
Penny seems to have settled down now and is back to normal. She spends every evening in the Lounge with Mum on her new cushion. That is the dog not Mum on the cushion.
She is as bad as Tess was for eating things she finds in the field.
Well I will try to write more often
Love Dad

Hello everyone,

Thankyou for all the great messages well things here in Tully town are ok the bananas are still coming along although our clothes are not they are very stained from the sap!! Anyway what else can we report apart fom we only have 2 and a half weeks left of work yay! Then we dont have to work until we get home double yay!!! A special thankyou to mummy and daddy Lucas for the special delivery on the 29th!! We are looking at going to Cairn next week in time for shopping! Me and Ste are going to buy each other xmas gifts costing no more than 10 dollars each and the gift has to be what we can use e.g toothbrush etc! We thought that this would be a bit of fun! If you have any ideas what we could buy then let us know!! Callie your class is soo right you can be a Koala midwife if you want to be the area we are in at the moment is famous for it's green frogs and apparently there is a hospital for them! Green frogs are ok they are'nt poisonous! We get them jumping on us at work as we sort the bananas out! Mr Chris you lied about the xmas tree I want proof that it is a real one cant blame you fro not putting the pink lights on the white one but if you have two you can put one in your living room and the other in the hallway that will look soo pretty!!! Anyway fifi do not despair Kat has said that after the wedding you and her can save your the money and go to disney together and if Mr Chris and Mr Steven dont want to came then never mind we will have a fab time!!!! We will spend their money on teddy bears am sure that if they dont come that your house could be filled up quite easily!!!! Amy in all the pet shops out here they sell little puppy dogs and ste has to stop me from buying them they are soo cute just this morning was holding a littl white flufffy one dont know what brand it was but out here in oz they are into there labradoodles, spoodles and various other spicies of dog that had been mated with a poodle!!! It's funny seeing all the adverts in the papers!!! Hope that you are all well!!! Anyway must fly coz am stating to talk gibberish.
Love you all loads and loads
Kat and Stexxx

Have spoken to nice lady at WHSmiths and she has confirmed that all is correct in the dosh department! Santa will be making his festive visit to your account on the 29th - Happy Christmas! Hope all is well with the nanas. Speak to you soon. Love and kisses. UsXXXXX

Hiya
Just read Chris's message. What he's forgot to metion is that he's already put the white tree up!!!! Now it has colourful lights and my lovely PURPLE ones are still int he box. But I htink he's changed his mind and we're gonna get a real one at the weekend. How sad is he!! I have to keep closing the curtains to save the embarrassment. U'll be near my rellies for Christmas. U could pop over hehe. They live quite close to the main parks (Warner world is it?) Are u still going to Sydney? Anyway must crack on.
Love Fi
