Hiya

I dont know what you mean about sore heads on my birthday although I think Ben probably does! I am finding it very confusing as to whose blog I should follow or answer questions on. Its amazing hat Lucy is able to leave you a message on your blog but not me a message on her own blog?

Anyway Debbie dad finally got around to fixing up my wedding ring so I am very excited as I can collect tomorrow from Coton craft centre. So I hope that answers that one.

Yes Debbie you did send a really early message but dont worry im ure ill get you back because I can work out the time difference!

Yes Lucy we did have a lot of fun at the murder mystery and you would have enjoyed it.

Yes Debbie we had a lovely weekend in Kracow but ill let you read lucys message board for that!

Hope you get your tefle course all sorted out soon and can get going with that and with that ill leave you for now. Lots of love mum xxxxxxx

Debbie your plans are even more definited than when you sent me your last message-well done! You'll be home just after me, how exciting!!!! You'll have the best time.

I wish i could've joined you guys for the birthday weekend, it sounds like you all had a lot of fun!

Now have a wonderful time in Krakow, and as chris fixed the mini laptop i can call again soon

lots of love and hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hey ma, all sounds good, everyone recovered now?!! haha Everyone was a little sore headed when I rang Sunday morning! lol

Glad you liked the glasses, god eh!! we were hiding them under coats and stuff when we went for drinks after the cruise and Sal took them back pretending it was just Ben's present taking up all the space! lol

How's Skype going? Vickie has it on her computer but there's no sound at the moment, we're taking it to be fixed today so hopefully I can join the skype club soon. Have you spoken to Lucy on it?

Me and Vickie have made definite plans - we're starting an online tefl course next week and plan to be in hong kong or japan to teach by the end of january for a couple of months and then spend our earnings traveling asia for another couple of months. I'll be home by June with the lovely Vickie.

Hope you all have a brilliant time in Krakow (however you spell it) I think I may have sent you a fairly early morning text - sorry! lol always mix up times!!

Speak soon, lots of love

Hiya

just a quick note to say thankyou for my birthday card an a special big thankyou for the champagne glasses you sent for our anniversary! I can t believe that you managed to smuggle them right under my nose and fancy using the captain!

We have just had a lovely weekend at Ben and Chelseas in London. Friday night we went to see woman in Black at the theatre. After a slow start it ended up being really good. We then went to chinatown and fed ourselves with copious duck pancakes before returning to bens.

Saturday we went to borough market to buy cheese. The market has an amazing number of stalls and the produce is all really fresh. Needless to say that much cheese was purchased. Dad Ben and Chelsea returned to get the flat ready for the evening whilst Sally and I went on to Camden town where we purchased a few finishing touches for the evenings Murder Mystery.

jolly evening was had by all and Toby turned out to be the murderer and we finally went to bed at 4am.

Missing you and love you lots mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just been watching all your little video clips debbie. Daddy says that he wishes that he had gone back and bought that other camera as he is quite jealous of your koala close ups. Almost as jealous as he is of my flower setting!

It was lovely to talk to you today even though you did sound a little sad. It was was quite wierd really because I had been thinking of phoning you.

After your call me and went to PC world and bought the headset and webcam for skype. Dad has also downloaded it so now all we need to know is how to work it!

Love you and miss you lots mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Haha, there was a longer version after without the fall but it's too big to upload. Never fails to make me laugh though. There's one of me doing thriller but I couldn't get it on...you know what I mean!! Will try again today.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Love the video!! Very funny!! There will be a sequel yes? xxxxxxxx

Hey hey, so skype people? Hows that quest going? As i am unable to speak to you guys at the minute.

Hello Daddykins,

I can tell you that excitingly enough, people keep saying I have a lovely Kiwi accent!! haha finally picking up an accent although they always take it back as soon as they hear me speak a whole sentence!!

I'm meeting the teapot manager for a cup of tea on friday. wont actually start work there til november as it's christmas casual. had 3 shifts at cotton on so far and really enjoy it. The restaurant is still really good - had to dig glass out my foot on saturday but it's ok. I wish the money was piling up but this week i only hav 4 shifts between 2 jobs!!! will get busier nearer to christmas and keep badgering for more so hopefully will pick up.

The weather... I keep getting told that this time last year it was 23-27 but it's not hit 20 yet this year. I'm sure summer is on the way, waiting patiently! lol Our clocks have just gone forward an hour so that's made a bit of difference.

That's nice that you have a long weekend booked - have fun, make sure I'm updated on that weekend and murder mystery - you guys should start a blog for me!!

lots of love to everyone

Hiya Poppet,

thought it was time for me to get a word in and say "hello". Good to hear jobs stacking up Debsie - you'll be piling the cash up now !!

Visiting Sal & Toby this weekend & just booked flights to Krakow for long weekend after the Murder Mystery weekend in London - Anniversary treat for Mum (and she get's Sal & Toby for company too!!)

How is weather down under now? getting cold, dark & wet back in old blighty. Want to know about coton & tea pot jobs - how they going?

Take care & lots of love - Daddykins xxxx

Hey guys, i just tried to upload all my photos and out of 444 pictures, the battery died at 411, so i will get those up laster tonight!

Mum, well done on the computers, i'm so proud of you! And this must mean that i will start getting those emails from you yes? We have a new mini laptop so i'll be online more regularly. I wish i could fly back for the murder mystery birthday party then back here again! You'll have a great weekend i'm sure

Ben, i hope the course doesn't get too much worse for you, you'll do great, just keep working hard!

I hear from ash harriet a lot, and she tells me ash is coming home at the beginning of october. But harri's carrying on with a friend from uni.

I'm in lima at the moment, then leaving for trujillo, just a short 9 hr bus journey up the road, then should be in equador by monday/tuesday, yay!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

wooooo get you computer genius!! Are you gonna do the European drivers license then?

Yeah I know it's out of date as we havn't updated for a while and it takes a fair bit of time to fill in the gaps. You know everything at the moment anyway - Perth is next and I do believe you were there dear.

Your birthday weekend sounds like good fun - which show you going to see?

I'm just off to meet my new manager now and find out if I have any hours next week.

Tell Diaphragm I said hi! haha
