Vicki Hey Shell, Be thankful you are over there. Zoey is back (yey!) Cat had a Baby Girl a few weeks back called Amelie. The office is due to be "Restructured" in the next few weeks which will be fun. Almost forgot to tell you!! I am a researcher in the Office now, i have started yet but i got the job in September. You would have been proud of my interview. We are all missing obviously although i'm sure that you are far to busy going to football matches and surfing to miss us.I hope you are looking after yourself over there.
