Hi Girlies,

Great pics really enjoyed looking through them, in fact Im going to check mine for copyright reasons as they are idenitcal!!!! especially Franz Jozef, that lake at mt cook and White water rafting! In fact those stripey tops are the same as I wore!! so they are at least 10 years old!!

Seems to be some problem with my PC as I couldnt see Jemma's Bungee jump pics are they on facebook?

Nothing exciting to tell you really, let me think..well..hmm..maybe....no Kates not!!! er nothing else really exciting going on, straining... but nope nothing.

Look forward to seeing the sky diving pics!

Take care. carry on up the Kiwi!

Love

Matt and Kate

Hi lovely girlies! WOW!! So glad Katie that I didn't know about the Arc until after the event, I would have booked the next flight over and stopped you ...on second thoughts, why didn't you tell me??!! Serously, I'm with Theresa on the Sky Dive too - let me know how good it WAS please!
New Zealand looks amazing and it's so good to hear that you've had such a good time.
Can't believe it's only 7 weeks to go - better get rid of the lodger I guess :0)
Love and miss you, keep safe xxxxx

hi hunnies , glad you enjoyed the white water rafting, enjoy the sky dive but let me know after you have done it! remember i don't want to know the date!
there is alot of very sad celebrity news, Jade Goody has been given only a few months to live, kim marsh had her baby boy 18 weeks early and did not survive, ken barlows wife died suddenly she was only 58,on a lighter note carla from corrie had a baby girl, did you know stan's sister had a little girl, niamh grace.
can't wait to have a go on Laurens balance board, will have to go down this week.
dad and i went out with sue and dave last night, got dad's for nothing as his steak was overcooked and he had ordered a mixed grill!but we had a fun eve !dave probably has earache as he got nagged alot!
A dawn must have been a very good girl to get 2 bouquets!

Hi girlssssssss!
How are you?
Just thought i'd leave a message as you replied to me on Facebook Jem and i never said anything back!
Just sitting in the study room at school on ASOS searching for some bits for holiday, not that i have any money!!
The snow/ice is annoying me now just wish it would go away and become hotttt!, Where are you now? I haven't been keeping up to date :| !
We got the Wii and Wii fit the other day, hopped on it to find i'm just on the cusp of being overweight and my body fitness age is 32, i'm nearly 18.. nice. Looks like a diet is needed although that's quite impossible.
Ross came over the other day, we were laughing about that picture on my Facebook of you Lauren and i on my sofa, saying that i was probably pinching Lauren behind your back! haha.
You've been gone for waaaay too long! Feels like i haven't seen you in years!! You haven't even seen me in person with short hair, now that's just weird!! When are you back, is it the 7th of April?
Well i best be off as i write the longest most boring messages ever haha, hope you're having loads of fun reply when you can!
Love you and miss you xxxxxxxxx

NANA- I know isn't it terrible about the bushfires, can't believe how much devestation it's caused, so sad. I'm so glad Margot is ok, I will drop her a text- but hi Margot if you're readin this. The dolphin swim was amazing, and have now done so many other things too which we will be writing up on the 16th of Feb! (there you go everyone you have a date for the next blog... just hope we stick to it!! haha- its all go here!) Love you very much, kisses to the family xxx

Hope you both continue you enjoying yourselves. Luv you lots xxxx

Hey Guys

We're apparently due some more snow tonight - its drizzling at the moment and bloody freezing!!!! How is the weather there? bet you both have gorgeous tans!?!

I dont have any new gossip since my last email to share i'm afraid - the twins are both good and your 2 boyfriends are missing you! Bailey officially hates Rich!! lol
Work is keeping me busy and entertained as always - i'll keep all the good stories for when your back :)

Keep in touch guys - be safe, love and huge hugs xxxxxx

BUSTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha I am completely speechless mother... what can I say?! Er... am..... I... Yep thanks Theresa- Ive had them for ages you've just not seen them before or not taken any notice silly. I mean me... buying clothees? Please!! haha! That did make me giggle- how strangely observant you are- never one to miss a trick hey ma?! Have you actually been keeping a tally- writing down every single item you think new? Dont worry, they were all in the slae of course hehe!! Love you so much, miss you.

P.s New Zealand is AMAZING! incomparable to Australia as so different in many ways- the weather is not great but the scenery is out of this world- every where you look there is a mountain or lake. Anyway you shall here all in the next instalment which will be soon :o)

KEZZA- Colchester sounds wicked!! Have a drink on us and give Lici a birthday kiss- can't wait to see the Pics of that one haha! Buzzzz... I take it the job is going well? So when we come home are you going to make sure we're always in order?!

Miss you and the girlies millions, say hi to everyone for us xxxxxxxxxxxx

hi hunnies the snow here continues, the side roads and paths are like glass, dad and i went for a walk over the fields yesterday and stopped off at the white swan for a hot chocolate. ross was out for alan's b/day yesterday, they went fo r lunch and out in hitchin later unfortunately ross slipped in the ice, has a cut over his eyebrow which was glued and cuts on his cheek, nose, chin and hands, his top lip is really swollen, think he will have some bad bruising and says it is sore.

made it to work every day but going in late some days wore wellies all week, those who did not come have to take leave.

u bill popped in saturday for coffee he has o/time all weekend, the girls were only in school on wednesday, we are predicted more snow monday!

Lianna is home,Jacquie does not how she is feeling as she has been out catching up with friends, jacquie loved thailand.

Look forward to talking to you very soon.

love you,miss youxxxxxxxxxx
