Paolo I won't be going on holiday this year. However, with the time and effort that you have put into these bloggs (the write-ups and photos) makes me feel like I've been on one. Great stuff! Shame it's gone so quickly. Have a safe journey home. P.S. You have until 8th August to enter your footie Dream Team. I won it 3 months ago (just thought I'd slip that in). Byeeee.

Denise You seem to behaving a really exciting time and I will miss reading you blogs when your home again. I cannot belive where the time has gone (3 months) it seemed like a long time when you first went and now it's nearly over. I look forward to seeing you when your back. all the best Denise

Tamsin Hi Louise, Sounds fabulous! John's sister lives in Thailand (I think around Ko Phi Phi), her & her partner have been there a few years now & love it!!! It looks stunning, bet you don't want to come back - especially not to our rain drenched Summer, you couldn't have picked a better Summer to go away!!! Take care & look after yourselves & hopefully see you when you get back (whenever that is?!) Tamsin .. xxx

Janet Hi Louise Got nanny here and have just shown her your blogs and albums. She enjoyed them very much and she's so pleased you're having such a good time. Bye for now - enjoy the rest of your time away and stay safe Lots of love nan, Janet etc!xxxxxxxxxxx

As you probably know wev'e been through a few temps and still not sorted yet. about time you came back to work!!!!!!! Keep having fun be careful Sue

Paolo Don't you start picking on me as well, Mary. In any case, I never make any smelling pistakes. Sorry Louise. I hope this debate is not spoiling your holiday :-) Bye the way, have you seen a koala yet?

Mary Hi Louise, Hope you are still having a great time and not been caught up in the floods and bad weather they are having in Aussie. Weather has started to change here for the better, I picked a bad week for my hols but never mind had good company all the grandkids and parents. Will have to watch my spelling in case Paolo checks my E Mails. They are very busy at work so might get away with it. Bye mary

Paolo I don't want to pick on you Tamsin, but I have found another one of your spelling mistakes; "...just to male you jealous." Tut, tut!! WEATHER ALERT! Hi Louise, just to make you even more jealous-er, the weather here is luciously hot and sunny and the barbie may have to come on soon. Come to think of it, my Speedo's might have to come on as well! Keep your updates coming. Byeeeeee.

Janet Hi there. Really enjoying reading about all the fun things you're doing and feeling very jealous. I'm all set to have a great week - off to Madrid on Thursday for a couple of days, and ....... handing in my notice tomorrow as I've got a new job!!!!! Can't wait to leave, but if you've got any bank problems you need to let me know in the next 4 weeks. Keep on having fun x x x
