Hiya girls. Just a quickie from our neck of the woods .... we're full of colds and I've got tonsilitis for good measure....still could be worse as there's an evil sick bug doing the rounds.....don't you just wish that you were back in England right now! On the news front, Tig went to Peterborough and won three medals for her gymnastics.....her proudest moment was holding her cartwheel on the beam....bless her little cotton leotard !!Saskia has been having problems with her tights today and has declared that her bottom is simply too big (age 3 seems very young to be asking the "Does my bum look big in this? question),Georgie has had her 2nd flute lesson today and Josh has had the BBC round today considering him for a possible documentary......he has already been shortlisted from lots of children seen in schools across East Anglia....must have been his Little Britain impressions that did it......He has me in tears! Fingers crossed that he'll get some good news. Incidentally,Naomi thanks for your card....I will let you have the E-Mail address when I find out what it is....sad isn't it! I haven't been let loose with this classified information.....and if I had they would probably just have to kill me! Anyway, keep having fun and sending the pics. Bye for now. Amanda's gang.

Amanda And The Crazy Frogs.
Hi NAOMI and BEN. Congratulations on your tremendous news , we're all very happy for you. Many thanks for the postcard ....the littl'uns loved the koala and have sounded out the possibility of having one for a pet.......have you seen any kangaroos boxing yet ..probably best to run if you do .....! Well keep taking the photos as it's making me feel extremely well travelled....loved the look of the Minus 5 Bar....very cool - excuse the pun ! Take care and we hope that Ben has a good journey back to the U.K and enjoys the rest of his time Down Under. Love from Amanda's gang.

Mum And Michael
It was lovely to have a call from you, sorry I got upset, did recover to continue, my day at work. Ben should be with you now, he can look after you. Has been Michael's birthday today cooked him a nice meal, had a birthday cake now he is asleep after a long tiring day at work, I have been off today done some spring cleaning, windows etc, very interesting, would rather have been with you in Sidney. Love and miss you loads. Mum and Michael xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

The "CRAZY FROG" is writing this on our behalf......we have not moved into the computer age yet! Looks like you have some great photos and are having a wonderful time. Expect Ben will be with you soon.......hope the fun and adventures continue. Lots of love from Grandma and Grandad Briggs.
Amanda's Gang
Hi girls! The crazy woman is at it again wrecking your message board ......in fact from now on I think I'll sign on as "Crazy Frog"...the annoying thing ! Glad to see that you're still having a fabulous time ......it's amazing to think that you've already been gone 5 weeks but looks like it's been action-packed all the way. Just a little news from our shores : I passed my gymnastics coach ing exam at the weekend.....not bad for an oldie who can't even operate a computer ! Josh has been busy too and filmed a commercial for the discovery channel on Tuesday......otherwise things are ticking along pretty much the same as usual. Keep up the good work on the photo journalism .....it's excellent escapism! Bye for now.

Dad And Mandy
How are you both?
We hope everything is fine with you. Ryan got off on his ski trip ok, although we were a bit worried about him on Thursday because he twisted his leg playing basket ball, hardly good preparation to ski. Fortunately he seems to have quickly recovered.
I am off to Andover to do another course today. Not good having to do the trip on a Sunday but I will get a day in lieu for my trouble.
It will not be long before you will be in Australia with Ben now, I bet you are looking forward to that. Continue having a great time. Bye for now
