Val Hi Melon Good to have you back. See you Tuesday Lunch time! Val X

Julia Uh, you people....!!

Mel Olivia - unfortuantly for you I am being very careful in the last couple of days to ensure I don't burn and come back looking like a total crust bag! You will just have to go and get a spray tan else I am afraid you will be very jealous of my superb tan!See you on SundayJulia - I note a hint of sarcasm in your "sign on" commen... I have been looking forward to being able to sponge of benefits and other peoples taxes since I was about 12! Free money to do nothing! Brilliant!Claire says hi!

olivia i was just looking at your photos and you look well brown! i think i might hate you!!!! can you try and get burnt and peel before you come home please?!?!xx

olivia hey!!i'm glad i'm still reading your journals after the harsh end of the last one!!can't believe your going to be home in a week!! looking forward to seeing you and hearing all your other tales!xx xx xx

Julia I should think so too, not like you've got anything else to do....sign on maybe?!

Mel Julia - I am not allowing Claire to see this as your wise words may put her off a bungee jump! So I will be telling her you offered words of encouragement instead! Look at it this way if she s***s herself it will be a funny picture!!I have now done an update but could not upload any pictures - I'm in an overpriced Thai internet cafe run by a French man! So what can you expect!I will refrain from commenting on whether I am having a rubbish time or not!! Only joking its very relaxing not being on the move constantly!See you in a week, I am sure I can manage a guest appearance at little Charlonks party providing there is cake of course and a whole other variety of lovely English Food!!See you in a week!!Mel

Julia Claire - don't do it, not that I think there is any danger of that - you big girl!  Never fancied a bungy jump myself, and ever since seeing a photo of someone who s*** themselves on the way down, I've just known that would be me - I think you'll be the same Claire - the shame!!Mel - I'm not sure whether your lack of updates means you were only really writing them for your mum, sister and Claire,  or you're having such a rubbish time with them that there's nothing to write about.  I've been on holiday with Claire so will assume the latter! Never mind, it will be over in a week - look forward to seeing you then - will you be at Chaz's rocking birthday party on Monday? Juliaxx

burgers Hello sweety How are you??been looking through your photos i see that you did a fancy dress night & i guess it was your idea for the Bin bags????RINGWORM omg!!!that s*** looks real bad!!!take care PLEASE!!you look like your having a real ace time though!!I MISS YOU MEL cant wait to see you!!it feels like ages since NZ Take care  Love you millionsBurgersxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 

Mel I know - the gits have changed it completely ! I am less than impressed! I have not had time to upload photos for the fear if I leave those 3 by themselves for more than 5 minutes they will be in a tuk tuk on the way to some dodgy jewellery factory by the time I get back!Claires heat rash is holding out! She is taking tablets for it! The huge geek!I am pretty sure no one will want to see my pics other than maybe my nan who no doubt will fall asleep half way through!p.s The car unfortunatley has a habit of smelling , It has pure personal hygiene! Thats my excuse and I am sticking to it! But you are more than welcome to clean it on the Ryans behalf!!I am trying to persuade Claire to do a Bungee Jump!!!!

Julia What's gone on with this website, I don't like it!! And where's those photos of the three sweaty, ugly sisters?! Mel I went in your car today, it stinks, I hope they clean it before you return! Hope you're all having fun, I fully appreciate how you are feeling about coming home Mel, it is s***e, but at least you get to bore us all with your stories and photos.  Hopefully your family will be a bit more interested than mine - Matt and Mand haven't asked to see my photos yet (having been back for 18 months), and no one has asked to look at our video - miserable b*****s!! Take care, has Claire got a blotchy heat rash yet?! Julia  

Mel Note to everyone as I have just had confirmation that Mum, Michelle and Claire are on the way to the airport so they won't see this!Its bloody boiling in Phuket even I am feeling it! They are not going to know what has hit them! BRILLIANT!! Next time I upload pics it should include the 3 ugly sisters dripping in sweat!

Mum Hi - one last message from me too I am all packed and ready to go - can't find my passport but am sure those nice thai people won't mind (only joking!) Sam is at his holiday home in Aston Clinton - he gave the cat in the next cell a lovely welcoming hiss (he's so friendly ...) I have tried to pack lightly although the case is full it doesn't weigh too much as I can actually lift it quite easily and you know how wimpy I am. Waiting for Michelle to arrive and then I can get really excited. Looking forward to seeing you and some sunshine. Lots of love - Mum ps - bye bye everyone else - xxx

Michelle Hi Mel Have decided to quickly type one last message into your message board. Hope you are looking forward to seeing us on sunday/monday (or whichever day you deign to grace us with your presence!) Totally excited about holiday, it felt like christmas when i woke up this morning only with the hope of some sun sometime in the future. Feels like only yesterday when we waved you off at heathrow but then ages ago at the same time. Hoping you have enjoyed your time in southern thailand and are suitably relaxed for when we rock up. Can't wait for some traveller-esque exploring, Thailand here we come!
