DAD Hi Kirb! Great to speathe other day. Hope your beach turned out to be really nice after the trip to get there. Guess you will get to the blog when in Mexico, now that your computer left... Pretty rude of Seb to take it really!! I've had a couple of days of with a stomach bug. See it still happens in developped countries.!.! We all went to see Mitchell play in a final on Sunday. He did really well and the team won into the Granny, so we wil have to see if we can get there too. Owen's team is going well and he's killing them, so we would like to see his game, but it clashes with thw last Hawks game... could still make finals! Any how, better get back to correction, Mum's at Dogs - first time back, hope she's not too tired. Hope the last bit of the trip is great and doesn't go too fast. Love DAD

Will chat to you all soon! xo

Joel Hey Joy-Belle! I have had dramas trying to get onto the blog and just see what you are up to. Firstly, I found that I can't access it from school, as it is blocked by Netspace (s*** education filter!), and my computer got a virus which I just got fixed! Anyway, it sounds like you're having a bloody great time! All your issues with finding a bed, not sleeping etc, sound like great fun! Especially in a foreign country!! Over here it's all happening. Our kitchen is still a work in progress - the actual kitchen is in but we are waiting on the floor to go in and the splashback getting done next week and painting in between it all! Been a real struggle to get it all done but hopefully it'll all be well and truly finished by the time you're home and it'll knock your socks off!! Matt was good the other night when he came down for my birthday. Was funny that he turned up to the Chinese resturant we were having dinner at but we were all late, so he had to sit there for a while on his own, with his bottle of red. Good bloke that Matty Hams, Kirb. Speaking of Matt, we were watching the first episode of Farmer Wants A Wife tonight and I recon Matt would have cleaned up on the show - the other guys are a bit wierd I recon. You look after yourself kiddo. But keep having fun! But not too much fun... ;-)

god im watching you....

Olivia Hey Kirby! I'm sitting next to Mel in class and thought why not send a message too! Sounds like you're having an amazing time!! How's the spanish going?? Can't wait to travel too, you'll have to teach me everything! Hope everything's going well and you get better soon! -Olivia xx
