Hello my darlings!! So lovely to hear from you at the weekend. I was feeling a bit down in the dumps so you really cheered me up. Ta! I'm glad that you're off to Oz next. It must get a bit tiring not being able to speak the lingo in all those countries. Just think how easy ordering a Big Mac will be now!! Missing you loads - sloppy I know, but true! Lots of love UsXXXXX

Hello Stevie-Weevie, (and Kat- sorry just need to be a bit soppy to my bro first). Just wanted to say I am missing you loads bro' as there is noone to torment me. Hello Ste and Kat, Well I have had an eventful week so far! On Saturday we went to Ask in Worcester with our friends for an engagement meal, but you will never guess what we found on our journey to the restaurant- a lost CHILD!!! That's right. A temper tantrum throwing 2 year old! As we approached the mini roundabout, we came across a woman holding the small 2 year old having dumped her car in the middle of the roundabout. I assumed she had crashed the car and the child had escaped so got out and held the child while the woman moved her car out of the way. It turned out the woman had nearly run the child over as he was in the road and didn't belong to her. To cut a long story short, I got left with little 2 year old (Simon and the car full of lads had driven off) and I had to wait for the police. How exciting, hey? Apparantly he had learnt how to unlock doors and had made a run for freedom. Except for trips to the police station and lost children, life has been mundane. Need some sun! Hope you are okay and looking forward to Australia! Miss you both, Callie

Great to hear you are still enjoying your travels. There is no real news from Oz. Alkthough Amy has now got a Vauxhall Corsa. She is learning to drive, but wants to fill the boot with a big speaker. even though i will not let her switch the radio on whilst she is driving. The car is called Rita. Enjoy Hong Kong, will leave you another message soon, Dad.

Hi guys
Im so jealous!! I want to go to Disney and! Still trying to get Chris to book the honeymoon to Disney World. Well we were hoping to move out this weekend but thats not happened. Was moved to thursday, then Chris got a phone call to say the current tennant hasnt got her mortgage sorted yet so we've got to wait at least another 2 weeks. So we could be moving out on my birthday! Em's now moved into her new place. Saw Marc yesterday! He says hi. Is it Oz ur off to next? Hope ur still having a good time

Hello, Thankyou so much for all the messages it's so lovely anyway we have moved from Beijing and are now in Hong Kong wow what a place what can we say it's amazing lots of tall skyscrapers but the people are all really nice. It's really easy to move around and has many modes of transport metro, bus, taxi and the most peculiar of all is double trams!! They look so weird but are fun to ride in ands they are dead cheap. We went to Disneyland Hong Kong yesterday because it only opened the 12th September and we thought we would never be able to go to something that is that new again plus we just managed to catch the off peak time befopre there national holiday!!! It was really cool you get to the park by a mickey train was lovely had a fab time took loads of pictures!!! Kat was in her element all day running from character to character she managed to get a picture of her hero Donald Duck unfortunatel piglet was unable to make it!!! Today we went on the 800m escalator which was fun but halfway up it stops working! So we had to walk it only goes one way in the morning and the other way at night!!! Anyway b.p crew glad to hear from you was getting tad worried that you were not recieving the posties say hi to jackie and Al and tracy for me! Tell sandra not to worry only another 8 months to go although be warned that me and ste were looking at flats out here!! Amy haha take warm clothes temps here are back up to 34 degrees! Jody take care and mum and dad buy some ear plugs maybe you will be able to block Amy out a bit hope Nickki next door survived the ordeal!!! Dad Why are you going to the dentist loads you never told me? Callie you will find the pressie very nice, and simon will love it. Granny thank you for the message I didnt know you waz a wizz on the internet, or did mum write it at one letter a minute he he. love from tinks and kats xxxx

Hi, just a quick message to update you that Grace has found a job on a postgraduate scheme for the inland revenue, in Leicester! Can't believe she's moved away, it hasn't really sunk in yet! She's doing well though. We're all gonna go on plenty of road trips up there! Carly and Jade are still looking for jobs. Jade's parents are looking to move to Spain and not taking Jade with them so she might have to move out soon! Han's fine, still happy with her man Darius. I'm not really seeing Phillip/Freddie anymore, got bored more than anything! I've now found myself really liking one of Paul Ruffells friends who inconveniently has a girlfriend who just so happens to be Leanne Rogers younger sister! I'm trying the avoidence tactic at the moment to get over him and find someone else. What a mess to get into! Anyway, hope you're well and to hear from you soon!

Be safe!

Yes so i am back to England in a few weeks which is going to be seriously COLD!!!! have now been back for a week and work has gone all pants so wish i was still on hols - sounds like China is fun and i will have you know that my chinese phrase is great apparently if you say it to an older chinese person around New Year then then they will give you a red envelope with money in it!!!!!! how cool?

Anyway glad you are getting on fine and will write more when work has stopped being so rammed!!! have fun and speak soon

Hi Kids
Still no computer hence the long gap between messages. We hope to get it back this weekend and then we can try to get you up to speed with any news we may have.
Amy comes back for her friends wedding in a couple of weeks so our peaceful life will be shattered again for a weekend
Penny is ok and seems to be back to her normal self.
So China seems to be not as friendly as you had hoped but I think that most chinese are the same.
Nicky from next door came knocking at the door the other Sunday saying you must come I have water pouring through the ceiling so I went rushing round to find that the toilet was overflowig a bit but as the overflow pipe was not connected the water was dripping through the ceiling .
It took a few minutes to adjust the ball valve and reconnect the overflow and peace was restored but she panicked.
I am sure mum will finish up with some Chinese food sometime during the week.
Mum is OK and has started to go to the gym again.
I am still going backwards and forwards to the Dentist and hope that all will be back to normal in a couple of weeks.
Well I must go now and get some tea, will write again soon and if we get the computer back this weekend you will no doubt have a long message from Mum
Lots of love
Mum & Dad
