Have a great birthday - present will be in your bank

Hello Gorgeouses! Writing to thank you for Geordie's excellent PC which arrived today - glad to hear you're on your way to Canada!! Shows the British postal system isn't the only one with glitches. Lovely of you to think of him: it's on his pinboard (also courtesy of the SSs) in his room. Have just got back from his carol service during which he excelled himself by being brought to me, in tears, saying he was going to be sick. Hasn't happened yet, but ..... Lovely weekend with G & G at Wilcote for G's 85th: amazing he's made it, and he looked great. It was a really happy occasion and he was a bit wobbly at one point, thanking us all and saying how lovely it was - we just needed you, K, and Ru's lot, and it would have been perfect. We also worked out that if he makes it to 100, G will be 20!! (And you 33, with a receding hairline and mortgage - well, mortgage anyway.) Hope the shoulder is mending and that you'r eboth well and happy; lots love, px

The insurance company Toweregate Chase etc etc will e-mail a claim form to you using [email protected] there number is 08709063144 your insurance policy number is 1161397

You will have to then complete the form and post it to them with the original invoice for the medical care - take a photocopy for reference. It will take about 3 working days from receipt to payment - so not too long.

Hope all well with you - also here is your STA travel ref nos 616671 and tel nos 0871 230 8558.

Well not much news from here went to stay with Aunt Maralyn who was well, parents in Brasil at the moment and seem to be enjoying life onboard the lines, mum off to a parents evening, gaffers birthday this weekend, and we are all off to stay at mandys and seeing mike/rachel for lunch.

We are all off to Brussels for parents 50th anniversary party on the 2nd Jan.

No sign of a job at all but am doing some freelance work for a company in Walses and one in Birmingham which keeps me occupied part time.

Got to go and pick Oscar up noe. Floras scholarship results come tomorrow so fingers crossed - just need a job now to pay the bills.

Dad

PS Ignore your brother: don't you dare come back just yet. Px

Hello Gorgeouses!! Can't believe I'm here and you're both there: Kit what on earth have you done to yourself? I'm sure you were helping an old lady across an icy road at a respectable hour and that it was nothing AT ALL to do with alcohol or anything .... (how bad am I going to feel if you really were stone cold sober). Nothing of any interest at all going on here unless you count the fact that Grantham TKMax is having a sale - no, really! I know!! SO much better than travelling the world. Take care of yourselves and each other and get back to one of us NOW with arm update. All love, Pxx

COME BACKplease

Great pics and great to speak to you 1/2 hr ago. Rushing to get O to school & me to work but thanks for ringing, and putting photos up. Odd no talent scouts discovered either of you on Broadway. Weird to think of you there - doesn't seem real yet, to us at least. If when you get to Van there is a ferry to V Island (which is how Brenda used to get there) I'll pay for it as a bidet present if you wouldn't go otherwise. Let me know. Meanwhile I'll contact your bank about your odgy card & I'll email you back with results. Re Alcatraz - Wilcote Granny used to do burglary counselling for an old man in Ladbroke Grove and the police were unhappy about it as it turned out he'd been Al Capone's rt hand man! I think he'd mellowed. Glad to see you're not wasting away in the land of plenty ha ha ha, all love Mum et al

Well whats new?

Oscar did the rememberance parade - his first rained really hard and I had a hole in my shoe - but as someone said they fought in the Somme in weather like this which made you think.

No real news on the job front although I have been offered some freelancing work by the company that I went for interview with.

F still waiting to hear about the scholarship at Repton should hear in 2 weeks.

Been goose shotting almost every night (one advantage of being unemployed) but none to report - went beating last weekend and am shooting on Saturday as Bills guest which is kind.

Tidying out your room and have painted over the baloons which now looks slightly more like a grown ups room.

Ru and co cant come for Xmas and Mum wants to have someone to stop us missing you too much so we are having a think who to invite.

Off to see the James Bond filk on thursday,and to the theatre on sat, and Oscar is singing in a choir when they switch on the Burton lights on Sun - need earplugs

F off to Staffs Netball tonight and O was swimming last night routine continues as normal.....

Dad
