Hey Lozza-lish

Hope your having a wicked cool time and miss you loads. Just so you know, Travis Barker has been in a plane crash but is fine, well, some 2nd or 3rd degree burning which im worried will ruin some of his tatts. But fine none the less. You can count on me to bring you the really important info while your off on your travels. Also Gerard got divorced and is marrying me. Love you!

Lovely to speak to you yesterday Louise. The Perenthian Islands sounded fabulous. For your information, your parcel from India has arrived safely and I have e-mailed Chris in Tasmania viz your proposed visit there. It is with regret though, that I have to inform you both, that the relationship between Adam and Liz (the BT Internet Homehub couple) is facing severe difficulties and I fear could become terminal. I felt that it was better to share this information with you now, rather than spoil the Christmas festivities. Enjoy Thailand, stay safe, Luv ya. Daddy. x x Give Lodger a smacker for me.

Hi the intrepid two!

Well, The Perenthian Islands eh? Unlike the worldly Royston, I can't say that I've heard of them before. Still nothing that a quick 'google' can't fix. The pictures iv'e seen look fantastic so I'm looking forward to your reports girls.

We need more pics, the one so far is lovely. Is the third person one of your group- or driving the vehicle? I hope not!

Meanwhile back in the entertainment world, X Factor has reached the end of tha audition stage, Josh Hartnett just started in the West End and Chris Thile about to release an album with someone I've not heard of.

Thailand next then - keep up the good work.

Love to Lol and Lou

Dad

PS Spoke to Roy last week - he seemed sane enough then!

Hello there lauren.....we have been told your having a lovely time! We have been getting weekly updates from Dee on your amazing adventure. Sending you lots of love

Hello Louise and Lauren, This message board is becoming a communication area between all of your relatives and friends as well as a lifeline to home for you! Lauren - I am amazed at the length of your mum's messages, having watched her typing on your lap top, that last one must have taken at least half an hour. I don't mean that your mum's slow it's the computer. How you ever did all your Uni work on it I'll never know....that little red button in the middle and all those keys missing!! Louise - I too am concerned for your Dad's state of mind!

All of us in the Burrows house - John, Wendy, CJ, Jenni and Chris (We have asked him if he wants to be included on our electrol roll register) are very excited to hear how much fun you are both having. The picture you put up is really lovely.....more please. I understand that you are off to the back of beyond now so you won't be putting many messages up. I hope those islands aren't like the one that was in the programme Lost (did you watch it?)....very wierd.

Anyway I'm off now to enjoy the sunshine..yes we have sunshine! Love

Jan

Hey - check nanny Joan out - I'm seriously impressed with her new technical skills - Bill Gates better watch out! I think it's about time Harry contributed though!!

Roy, that has to be the shortest message you have ever left!!! I never thought I would see you short of words!!

Hi Karen - hope your hair isn't getting covered in paint with all your decorating - mind you it will save you going to the hairdressers for a new colour!

Just want to wish Pie and Lauren a wonderful time - enjoy and have the time of your lives xxxxxxx

Dear lauren and LLouise hey its Mum here having another go at sending you a message hope it gets through to you. Have been continuing with the decorating am now putting a second coat on the ceiling had to go and buy another pot of paint today. Pleased to hear you arrived safely in Singapore sounds as if Laurens map reading alloweds you a good look around the city. the islands that you are off toexplore next sound very exotic i,m sure you will have a very exciting trip. I am going to see nan and grandad Smith this aftrenoon. I hoped to see Lily too but Dee was working today so they weren,t paying their usual visit. I bought Lily some cute pink pajamas in mataland last week and am looking forward to giving them to her. I thought Lilys text message was sweet I can just imagine her sitting on Dees lap at the computer. The sun has started shineing here over the past couple of days which gave me th oppourtunity to plant out some plants that i bought about a week ago. The weathermen have said this weather should last into the weekend which will be a bit of a result. Hope you are both keeping well and are not to sun burnt!!! Iwill say goodbye for now,looking forward to seeing more photos theone youdid send was lovely! lots of love and hugs Mumxxxxxxxxxxxxx
