Hello Kirsty

Long time since I posted a message, in fact not sure if I have but for the other folks that are reading this, I have been emailing her peronal email address so no I've not forgotten.....
Just been reading what everyone has written so it seems that they have already filled you in with all the goings on in Annan. I will tell you my side....
Kirkcudbright Ball was fab. The buffet was to die for and the banoffi pie, well words cannont describe that. Ashley had 3 pieces. Had a great night, it was very hot so me, Stuart and Jane frae Sanquhar ended up sitting outside on the wall trying to see who had the sweatiest backside. Yea you can imagine, I won hands down.... Mite need that op somewhere else (ha ha). Derek frae Sanquhar was there with Scott and they both still hate horses and will never ride again. they were all very drunk and Stu and Derek had a wee spin toghether on the dane floor and Derek had to sit down afterwards. Your brother is so energetic sometime....
Langholm was very good, we even got our pic in the local paper. susan tried to hide but we got her in it. Will get back to sue in a mo. The Kirkwind, as ususal was great and the cider at the top even better. We crossed the river (owt to save a fiver, miserable b*****s) and think Andrea fell in. the crowds from either side were cheering her on good style. Don't know why she crossed as she had a blinking ticket.....We had a great day apart from those pesky wasps. Ashley had her zapper with her, worked a treat on Karens tongue.... Ha Ha. Alistair done his from paris to berlin dancing, wow............................. As your mum said we ended up in the river, not sure if anyone has photos of that but what a laff. Ashley ended up in the Shed with the same clothes on, nearly dried on her. Yuk...
Susan is getting on grand. 10 weeks to go. She looks fab. Sleeping well although Stephen isn't. Think he is coming out in sympathy for her as she is sailing through this. Only thing she hates, obviously, is not being able to drink. BRING BACK PSYCHO SUE.....
Stuart has got me into salmon. cant believe I've never tried it before, it's lovely. i even tried tuna on holiday, quite liked that too.
Decided to lay off the magners for a while so am trying gin. Quite refreshing, would probably be better on water mind.
I've been invited to a wedding in Newquay (cousin) so will be heading back down there on 23rd Sept then to sharons for a weekend in October whilst you are on holiday. Was gonna ask Stuart if he wants to come to wedding in Newquay, so will see what he says. Going with Kez and Gaz so should be a laff.
Right, I've been in work for an hour now and not done anything. Must rush off and help the homeless.....
See you in a couple of weeks honey.
Take care.
lots of love
wendy

p.s Lauras still in Canada so aint really got much to say about her at the mo. shes back saturday and has been having a fab time. Will update you.

Hi Kirsty
How you doing, is your throat better?
The weather her is very warm but very wet - it's to get better agian tho.
Been to Langholm on Friday that was a good day - had our own "little Annan" area. Must have been about 40 of us at the busiest point.
Stuart, Ashley, Andrea, Wendy and susan all ended up in the river for a wash!! I'll explain later! It was a very hot day and yes we had our fun and games!!
Ive got Billy and Rhys this week and they are trying hard to say Kirsty before you come home! We've got tir tir tir i'm sure they're trying!!
Dad and I thinking about taking them to Wigton show today as Stuart gave me some tickets - a lot depends on the weather tho. The boys are sleeping just now so we'll see when they waken up.
Jane and Laura were asking for you I tried to give them your address but not sure if i was successful - it was a Saturday night!!
Spaeak to you soon
Dad says big hello - hopes you feeling ok
take care lots of love

Sandra just a quickie not got much time, i need that application form for that job, you got it?

Hi Kirst - thought I'd drop you a wee note in case I run of time before my holibags : 3 days to go and I'm off !!!!! just need to pack;

it's murder just now - so-o-o-o-o-o-o-o busy; just bought another house for another nephew - yip David has taken the plunge and you'll never believe where he's moving - across the road from me!!!!!!!!!!!! tis a long story but a very quick decision to buy and an even quicker date of entry : he gets his keys on Friday; so that's the boys done - you next !

can't believe your mum has actually got her patio done - well done Mary doll : it's only taken 3 years! she's been summoned to Glasgow for two days to tile nanny's bathroom so whether she comes or not is another matter; the shower is now finished;

last Monday was my only day off and had planned a lovely day in the garden, especially since it was blinkin roastin; nanny was havin none of it - she had Aunty Lo and I decorating the wee bedroom; I reckon I've lost two stone, it was so hot;

Uncle Iain coming home from London tomorrow night, probably for good :)

had Thai green curry for the first time on Saturday and really enjoyed it - had Thai red curry too and it was OK; took Eils shopping on Sunday - it cost me a fortune;

have had some good nights in the garden recently as the weather has been so good; plenty of beer tins filling up the blue recycling bin, and plenty of visits to the bottle bank; was working in Glasgow last week and couldn't believe my eyes - the temperature here is melting, and these Glaswegian Chantelle look-alikes are going into a tanning salon next door to the office !!!! lie in yir garden ya prat !

anyway, got some work home with me so better go get it done; will try and post another boring entry b4 I jet off but if not, take care and post lots for me to read when I get home;

Lots of Love

We were at Kirkudbright ball an Saturday night, went very well. In fact your brother was doing the Highland Fling round his kilt pin on the dancde floor!! Sound like Stuart? Mm! Wi plenty pop!
Dad up to Glasgow tomorrow for a check up and I'm cooking tea for Stuart and Wendy tandoori chicken! we are having a meeting at the Firth with everyone that's going to Langholm so i thought i'd just make us something to eat before we go.
Well I'm off for my shower now to get ready for work.

P.S. Dad says hello, he's sooking my tea! Butchers burger etc!! Not your favourite xx

just back from our hols and nice to have a bit of fresh air- it was blinking roasting, I ended up with sunstroke one night at the horse racing despite wearing long sleeves and a hat , and factor 30. I had to get a taxi home alone as Fraser said i wasn't ruining his night!! I think he needs to be sent to camp .

Had a varied 2 wks which included, time spent on the beach, visited Eden Project, Thorpe Park, Legoland, shopping much to Fraser's disgust. We met up with relations ins Newquey- wendy got tipsey, Sharon Rog and the boys in Windsor and Garry's cousin in Windsor. We all had a great time and not looking forward to work tomorrow but hey ho.

I've just caught up with all your news and you are having a geat time- we just watched Twister last night funny enough- altho not funny for you.

i'll get your address from your mam and send you some photos that i took of them all at the Ball before they got drunk.

keep the news coming as enjoying reading it all. Stuarts right BB sucks this year. Love island has started too but its just as bad.

How could I have forgotten ! The highlight of the weekend ! we started Saturday off with a visit to the Eastriggs Gala - it was so good it was forgettable !!!!

oh, the fun - a piper who wasn't piping, a drummer who wasn't drumming, a Miss Valentine who'd clearly never received one and Miss World who certainly wasn't ! we just couldn't contain ourselves and laughed so much we cried;
