Hi Amy - haven't heard form you in a while, so I hope everythings still hunky dory.  Miss your emails, they brightened up my morning and set me right for the day.  Sufferring the kids on my own at the moment - good thing Max has a job - bad thing he's no longer at home to help!!  Kids running riot and me pulling my hair out in chunks  . .  .same old, same old!!!  Good news, we're having a visitor from UK at last - a friend is coming out next month and it'll be great to get some contact with the folks at home.  Might even have to get organised enough to send home my Christmas cards with her, otherwise it'll cost too much to send many!  Hope you're still having a great time, even though your beau has been and left.

Take great care of yourself Amy - we love you x x x xx Jeannie, Max, Tom, Joe & Lucy

well hello ladies,

Hope things are going ok, things have gone a bit quiet on he e-mail front. How was it with the visitors? sounds like you're having an awesome time. Unfort. can't ever look at your pics african internet being what it is, neverr mind, i'll have a good browse when i get back home. Still going well here in malawi, the mentals are keeping me on my toes! (literally- one stole money off me the other day-nevermind!) Had a hilarious day this week, went to a disco in the hospital, Pretty surreal dancing to malawian music with a load of african mental patients, i'm definitely going next week- i'll take some pictures! When u guys going  to NZ? pretty soon I guess, i'm off home in three weeks, gonna be weird! Missing you girls- keep me updated! love Hazza

Hi Lynds,

Hope all is going well! Just had a look through your pics - beaches aren't as nice as Weston are they! I can't remember if it was booked before you went but my wedding is booked for August 25th, 2007! How Grown up is that!

I  hope you're enjoying every minute of your travels, it must be so amazing getting drunk in so many different countries! I hope you enjoy meeting the girlies, that'll be well strange meeting them the other side the world  you could have just met them down the Plough!

Anyway take care, miss you lots,

Loadsa Santa Love!! Didds x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

Well you 2 what's occurring.  You must be in a jungle somewhere or other and the drums have all gone quiet.  We need an input so we know its all going well down there in South America.  I believe your in Bolivia just now working your way towards Santiago great. Next time me and Mum are going to come as your bag luggers! Scary eh.  Alls well in a wet Newton Close, bathrooms just about finished with flooring going in on Wednesday you won't recognise it Ames.  The shower is great but its for parents only, no off springs allowed the use off!!!  Pete did well with A levels you heard but no nearer deciding his future - all will evolve though I'm sure, he a bit poorly at the mo with a virus you know Pete.  Meg is doing well in Japan, moved to a new flat nearer to her mates and sounds to be settling in well.  Mums in the pink and I keep every one on their toes with a good moan Ha! Ha!             Keep in touch luv Dad

Well hello you lucky ladies! Sorry that it has taken me so long to post a message but some of us live very busy working lives and are not lazing in the sun all day! bitter moi?! No seriously I am loving all the info on this fantastic site, so glad that you are having a brilliant time, seems like you are handling it pretty well considering you must be missing me sooo much.
It is birthday season coming up and so the next few weekends will be fun filled and frantic, wish you could be here to celebrate with us all. Dave has organised a trip to a "wine tasting" event in London and has invited about 15 of my friends so it should be a giggle-I'll look forward to receiving your present!
Keep smiling, love always Hollie xxx 

I expect your both feeling quite down today now that both the visitors have gone. Never mind, down to some more serious travelling and we are waiting for some more pictures once the visitors have posted them. Heard from Meg a few times, she's just sorting out her life with school every day now. She's moving Monday 11th over the road to the block that all the other Jets are in - cheaper and Internet access straight away. Pete is off to Goodwood races today with Laura S. Looked very smart in his suite and Laura was putting a posh frock on too. Poor Mum and Dad left at home to do the usual housework. Lovely sunny day, bathroom still in bits, well we have a fabulous shower now, but hopefully all finished by Friday. Need an update soon Amz as missing you and some need Amy vibes. Love you loads M & D and P.xxxxxxx

Hey girls, looks like you're having a cool time. lets see more pics of the women though please!! ....NO LYNDS HE ONLY DROOLS OVER THE KEYBOARD!! H........ don't listen to her lynds - GET THE PICTURES! i saw your dad the other day in the travellers rest, he says he misses you loads. can't understand why myself but hey ho. just joshing. Helen made me go with her and get a kitten on the weekend...I MADE HIM THATS WHY HE HAD NAMED IT ALREADY AND SPENT THE WHOLE WEEKEND LOOKING ON THE INTERNET FOR RESCUE CENTRES.......such lies!! Apart from the naming. I'm calling him Stanton (no-one else knows who i named him after but i'm sure you do) - he's a tabby cat with cool blue eyes. I'll send you a photo when he gets delivered! I went Global Gathering the other week which reminded me of you. It was pretty damn good. Had the old vip tickets again but didn't have to queue like last year. Got straight in and i met Sara Cox and Ferry Corsten which was bizzarre to say the least. Creamfields and the Prodigy this week. yey!!!!!!!!!!!! keep having fun and i'll speak to you soon.

Just wondering today if Moose made it to Peru with all the problems at the airports. Fingers crossed that he did........and then there was 4 of you. Plodding along back home, very quiet with just the occasional punch up with Pete, but can cope with that. Very tidy house although bathroom due to be started in a week and then disruption for 4 weeks as we have to turf Pete out of his room for us to move in - our bedroom will be the work room. Hope you are still having a brill time and the Inca trail is all it's cracked up to be. Thinking of you all the time, keep safe, hope your bank card got to you safely without Moose spending all the money in the account!! Love you lots and lots. Let us know if you are all safely together now. Mum xxxxxxxxxx
