Jen Welcome Home! x

Dad Hi Kate I'm so looking forward to seeing you tomorrow night. At T5, I hear?!? Mum and Deb and I went to the St Albans Festival Barn Dance on Saturday night. The staff were horrible to us; The wouldn't let us watch the show from the balcony. Insurance and Health and Safety, apparently. But we had a good time anyway. Geraldine and I were dancing like mad teenagers - I was wrecked the following day. Deb and I are planning to go square dancing on Friday. Want to come? See you tomorrow Loadsa Dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Captain Booty hello buttons. you do get up to some stuff. glad you liked avenue q, i want to go and see it cos it looks really good. not much has been happening here, but in 2 weeks i'll be down and you will be there, hooray!!! have lots more fun in NY, love and kisses, Capt. Booty

Aunty Helen Hi Katie Sorry, I forgot to thank you for your post card that was here when we got home from the Yorkshire Dales on Saturday. you are obviously looking forward to getting home. Enjoy your last week and look forward to running hot water !!#See you soon love Aunty Helen .

Debbie Hey KittyKat Ground Zero sounds very moving, (well the church anyway. Puppet show sounds funny, and you lucky thing, you got to see some stand-up comedy. Jon just rang me, he's down until Sunday, so we're going out either tonight or tomorrow. I bought a shed today. Vicky Berry said that meant I was joining her generation. No other news really, just gagging for you to come home. Had coco pops for breakfast, Bjorn had gobbled all my Crunchy Nut Cornflakes. Love you Sweetheart. Debbiexx

Mummy Hi Kate. Sorry to hear about your final lodgings being so substandard! You'd think the Americans could do better than that. It's one thing to have no hot water in Thailand but quite another in NY! So glad you like NY though (especially as you're there for so long). I imagine Ground Zero was quite emotional. The day before your Blog arrived Dad had wondered if you would go there and then the answer came. Phil in Hailsham is in a nursing home currently. Fortunately it's in Hailsham so Perks is able to visit fairly easily. Gran, A Sue and I are going down on Wednesday. Wimbledon has started! What with that and the Euro 2008 football I haven't had time for Fam Tree lately. I'll be about ready to start again when you get home!! Can't wait for next week. Love you for ever. Mummy XXXX

Debbie Hey Sweetie Shame about the hostel. Sounds abit frustrating. At leat the stairs will tone up your bum. (Not that it needs it.) No news today really. Had crunchy nut cornflakes for breakfast. Miss you so and can't wait for you to come home. Oodles and ooddles and more of Love. Debbiexxxxxxxxxxx

Dad Hi Darling Bad luck about the accommodation! You'll be really fit by the time you get home. I would love to go to New York! And Boston, and all the other places. I seem to be really busy at the moment, with funerals and Holiday Clubs and re:act (I'll tell you about this when I get home) and Wilbury Hall bookings. I've got involved with something called Transition Towns. The idea is to plan the transition to when we have to live without oil, by growing all our food locally, and using local building materials, and local currency, and all sorts of stuff. I am so looking forward to seeing you in ten days time Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Dad

Debbie Hello Sweetheart Boston sounds lovely. Shame the hostel's a bit grim. Oh well, you'll be in New York by the time you read this. Got my results at last. It was one uber long module this term, with 3 big assignments. I got an A and 2 Bs, which works out as a high B. Considering it was architecture based, I'm really chuffed. Also heard from Jon, who graduated with a First. What a boff!! Cracking on with the plan to have the garden done. I'm not sure if the gardener will have started by the time you get home, but he definitely won't have finished, so you can see the work in progress. Went out with some of the gang last night. Charlie's looking to switch jobs, Chris is employee of the month and Meika was showing off her scan. No bump yet though. Did anyone tell you she was pregnant? Sad news from Peewee, him and Stuart have broken up. He's looking to move flats now. Gosh, what a lot of news. Is your head swimming? Miss you so much, Angel. Hurry up and come home. Love you so much. Debbiexx

Cat Hello lovely! It's been great to keep up with what your doing! The falls looked so nice!! Oh, and i have weetabix minis with fruit and nut for breakfast (y) haha. love love!! xxxxx

Captain Booty Gosh, i can't belive its nearly new york time already. Loved your Falls pics, (mite use some as wallpaper!) and defo loved the LA pics tho i was a bit slow in getting to look at them! Not much happening here, having some lazy weekends for a change. Love and kisses xxxxx

Debbie Hello Sweetheart Canada sounds really nice, and quite chilled compared with some of the mad things you've been doing. I had crunchy nut cornflakes for breakfast this morning. Most yummy. Haven't really got any other news. Just missing you like crazy and couting the days until you're home. I love you, Honey. Debbiexx

Mummy Hi Kate. Love the photos, especially the zonky and Niagara. Tell Barbara she doesn't change!! We've got a posh 2007 Corsa while Ellie's away. I hardly dare drive her. The man went round noting any marks on her so that if we put any more on we get billed!! Gran etc back from the Lakes today. They've had good weather, which is nice but typical it should be the year we don't go!! Fountains of love. XXXX

Captain Booty i leave checking for 2 days and you fly to blooming canada (please note that before i wrote that i had to check that it was in fact in canada!) well you sound as if you are having fun and Niagra falls sounds wonderful. hope you took some good pics! Enjoy canada and remember that it is the home of maple syrup so make sure that you have a large helping for me! My dad and lyn went on the waterworld thing when they were at Universal Studios a few years ago, but they got conned into actually taking part (and i think got a lot wetter!) Hugs and kisses, Capt. Booty

Debbie Hello gorgeous girl Universal Studios sounds absolutely amazing. Niagra Falls must have been awesome as well. Was I in the video? Oh dear. Pass on all my love to Barbara and Jim. At home this morning cos the British Gas man was coming round to check we had insulation. I phoned work to remind them I was on leave this morning, and Vicky told me all their IT was down. Goodness knows what they' all have done until it was fixed. I hope its fixed this afternoon, unless they give us all the afternoon off. British Gas man says our house is all nicely insulated, so I wasted a morning's holiday. I suppose at least I know now. Going out with Kay and Jo A tonight, which will be wicked as I haven't seen them in ages. Can't wait to see you Babe, bucket fulls of love. Debbiexx
