Hey Mel!! (and Mark)
Just been reading all your entries sounds like your having a really good time, not that anyone thought that you wouldnt! I've been back just over a week now, seems like forever though, dont wana be here! It kinda feels like I havent come back to anything, you and nay have gone away and I havent got a job, I dint even get much of a tan cause I was hung ova or just generally couldnt be bothered to sun bath most of the time. (working too hard of course!) Had a really good time though. Going to be going back again around April/May so I prob wont even see you when you come back!
I dont really know what to say,I havent got any news, which is quite sad as I havent seen you for months! Im still single, not that youd expect anything different from me! Stace is back with Josh, from around bout this weekend.You would prob be expecting to hear that though, i know i was lol!
Anyways I am going to stop rambling on about nothing, I'll come back to your journal sometime see where you have got to and of course wish i was there. Hopefully il talk to you soon love me xxx!!

Lauras back aint seen her yet though. I did try txtin ya dont no if u got it or not! Not much is happening in my life at the min lol nearly christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i no that u tried ringing me soooooo much i apriciate it) hopefully wont miss ya next time! Bet u will really miss thailand wont ya!!! still u have so much more to c! just watching good old emmerdale lol!! hope to speak soon love lisa x x x x x x x

YOUR DAD MENTIONED LIZA JERMY WHO TRAGICALLY DIED LAST WEEK---NAN WORKED WITH HER NAN FOR MANY YEARS--SO WE ARE VERY SAD---
HOPE YOU ARE FINDING THE JUNGLE INTERESTING--IF YOU COME ACCROSS A GUY SWINGING THROUGH TREES, ACCOMPANIED BY A WOMAN CALLED JANE---HE IS IN THE WRONG JUNGLE.
YOUR SISTER IS VISITING US THIS AFTERNOON---SAID SHE HAS MADE US SOME CAKES---
SUDDENLY IT FEELS LIKE WINTER, ITS DARK BY 6PM AND QUITE CHILLY, AND OF COURSE THE FIREWORK SEASON HAS STARTED AND WILL CONTINUE TILL NEW YEAR NO DOUBT.

WONT ASK IF YOU ARE ENJOYING YOURSELVES, YOUR JOURNALS AND MESSAGES SAY IT ALL---CAN'T WAIT TO SEE SOME OF THE PLACES YOU HAVE BOTH SEEN.

ON THAT NOTE WILL SAY GOODBYE TILL NEXT TIME.
TAKE CARE, YOUR'E IN OUR THOUGHTS.
ME AND NAN

Hi Mel and Mark,

Hope you are enjoying urselves, I fink you may be in the jungle at mo not def sure. Anyway I fink winter is on the way, its getting cold and pissing down. Some bad news, girl who lives on Mag Past Ave was killed in car accident in city Lisa Jermy, bit younger then you went to jex. Some guy in a car lost control and ran a group of her and friends over, one of the others in hospital and others have broken bones etc, such a waste. Anyway on the happy side hope you are enjoying urselves and keeping safe. Had a strange girl come round 2day and staying 2nite, name of Corrina LOL. If you want to catch up with local news try norwich evening news24 although I reckon you have better things 2 do.

Lots of love xxx Dad
