Karen Soory everyone, just reread my enrty and noticed all the spelling mistakes! Don't worry, I do know it is Hogmanay and not Hogmany!xxx

Lorraine R Hey Karen. Really good to hear from you, especially good to hear that you are really enjoying it now. Sounds like you are having a great time and making the most of it. Its actually snowing here. Its not bad but think it makes a great excuse for me to leave work early!! Speak soon, Lorraine xx

Laura C Hello I'm so glad your enjoying yourself, and not too homesick! I'm sure your sisters missing you even though when i ask she says she's not! Although i'm not totally convinced that your sister is heading out just to see you in September! Think its just convinient that your there, hehehe...only joking. Spoke to your mum a couple of weeks ago and you'll be glad to know she seems very proud of you, but i think telling her about your drunken states has concerned her slightly...so maybe best not to mention them to her again for a wee while. Weather here is pish as always, pouring with rain as i type (you'll be glad to know). Anyway mort to the point i just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year (bit late i know)...but its the thought that counts. Take care and enjoy as much as you can before you know it you'll be back here.  Hey Laura, really nice to hear from you.  How are things with you? Well, at work right now and the sun is shining outside, jelaous?! Have to say that I could get used to this lifestyle and think its going to be pretty hard coming back to sunny old Largs! I know, secretly my sister is missing me, she just doesn't want to admit how amazing I really am!Haha! The shops of New York are jsut a minor bonus while seeing me aswell! Did you have a nice New Year? Was at the Harbour, which was pretty cool!Better go and get on with work.Speak soon adn take care Lots of Love Karen xxx

Lorraine Read Hey Kaza, hope all is well. I am so looking forward to 2 weeks of at x-mas, finish up on Friday. Obviously would be far better if you were here, or even better, I was in Oz with you! Instead I need to get down to some serious decorating. Take care sweetie, Lorraine xx Yo yo yo wats up n the ghetto sista?! (its ok eveyone I've not gone mad!)  Hope your well and looking forward to getting house sorted out (can you email me full address please)  If it all gets too much jump on a wee plane out here! Merry Christmas!Lots of Love Karen xxx

Russell Clark Hey there just read your msg. Yep the clark house will not be the same since the seat breaker is sunning herself in oz. My bet is on you to break a sunlounger this year lol. Our crimbo dinner is going to be better than yours anyway but the entertainment will be crap cause i have no one to pick on this year hehe watch out lorraine. Take care and i am going to send you my mates email so you can meet up over there Got your friends email address, thanks. Don;t joke about the sunlounger because we all know that or something worse will happen! Will be thinking of you all while lying on Bondi! Did you see my on GMTV?! Yip, I'm famous! Take care and Merry Christmas Kilmarnock lot! Lots of Love Karen xxx

Fi Hey chic, im sorry i haven't had a chance to email you! I've just logged on quickly before i go to work, loving your new fotos - did you sneak a wee kangaroo home with you? How cute and tiny are they?! My dad is out tonight so when i get home i won't have to fight him off the computer so i'll try and send you a proper email then. Lots of love xx Unfortunately babe, I never managed to kidnap a Kangaroo, for some strange reason they seem to be against that here, no matter how hard I tried to persuade them that I would make a good home for it!  Although don't be fooled, some of them are beasts are were attacking one of the girls on the tour...lucky for me they didn't seem to like the look of me! Hope your well.Miss you xxx
