Hello Mate
Sounds like ur having a ball. Drop me a line when ur back and we can hook up for a few beers. In case you don't know some Spurs news. Gutted Spurs out the League Cup to the Gooners of all people. Also Davids been sold yesterday to Ajax, apparently he squared up to Big Jol after a bust-up. New defender Rocha is right aggro and the business. I went to the Lane against Southend in the FA Cup at the weekend, your fave player Staltari was playing....
As for me I'm finished at Lotus and out of work at the moment, car has blown up and Spurs have got Man U at the weekend AAGGHHHH!
On the bright side its me birthday tommorow so loadsa beer at the weekend.
Hope to see ya soon.....Love the photos, see that fancy camera paid off...
Love

Hi my little fun-seeking intrepids!!
Well the NZ part of your adventure is nearly over now and what a wonderful memory you will carry with you to the next stage. You wouldn't believe how much i have missed you but at the same time i am so proud of you both for doing your thing. I hope you have as much fun in Fiji as you have done in NZ and that you keep happy & healthy. Everyone here is fine and send their love.
Had a wild party at Pete cooks fri night, so never ever drinking again!! Watch out for Brickie's who make their own punch!!
With you every step of your dream
Keep living it

Rai, Gem, Jem & Dave
Hello from sunny Canterbury!!!
We thought we'd post you a message as we are all together. (minus Mark who's scraping wallpaper!)
You'll be pleased to know that Rai drove all the way on her own, with only the aid of a sat nav! Blood pressure raised slightly when she realised she was on the M25!!!
We are going for a feast at Wagamamas in a bit...
Hope you are both having a great time we are thinking about you, and wish you were here but we know its not that long now.
Take Care - Love and miss you always x x x

Hey guys, please accept my apologies for not posting a message for a while, one very busy young man!!!
Big congratulations to Tracey and Chris (sorry its late) excellent news for you both.
Looks like your still having such a lovely time the pics are just awesome wish i was there. Can we expect you to bring a pet penguin home then? think the dolphin would be a bit obvious lol.
Not much happenin here just gettin colder and colder, i bet you miss it really lol.
Loughborough trip went well although meant leaving the house at 4:30am (didnt realise there were two 4 O'clocks in the day) and getting home fairly late, was still well worth it.
Im glad your Fiji trip is back on sounds like a lovely place.
Was gonna give you a call tonite but would you believe my calling card expired yesterday, wat a bummer, so il get another one and call before you leave NZ cos doubt your Mob will work anywhere else?!?
Keep up the good work and keep us posted!
Miss you a bit.
Lots of Love as always dan & Amanda x x x x x x x x x x x x x x
Gemma
Hey You Guys!!
Hope you are better now Zoe... Im pretty sure you're back on form!
The pictures are amazing, keep them coming!!! Good to hear about Fiji...not long now!
Well, I have some news for you. I went back to see the folks and Rai & Mark this weekend... and my mum dropped the biggest bombshell... She's moving out to live in spain for good... IN TWO WEEKS!!! when you leave NZ, my Mum is leaving the UK for good!!! i cant believe it!!!! You must think this is like a episode of eastenders, firstly the engagement on xmas day, now she's leaving the country! Bloody hell.....
Other than that scandal, there's not much more gossip i'm afraid...
I'm going to stay with Jem at the weekend and Rai is coming too will be lovely as i havent seen J&D since your leaving party!! Wish you could be there but i'm sure we'll have plenty of catch ups when you're back... we are well overdue a p**s up by then!! !!
Take Care my lovely's, miss you lots x x x
Jem And Dave
Hey guys,
Firstly a huge Congratulations to Tracey and Chris.
I'm sorry it's been a while since we have posted a message to you both. Zoe i'm sorry you have been poorly babe, I hope you are feeling better now though? I'm sure that won't stop you from enjoying yourselves to the max! The photos are absolutely breath-taking, the quality is incredible; your camera so good. I am still in shock that you both did a bungy-jump, I felt nausious just looking at the height. A big well done to you both. I really can't believe you have only been gone just over two months. I miss you so much. Gona hug you so hard when you get home. You're never leaving me again!!
Cannot wait to hear about the next aventure.
All our love as always,
Jem and Dave P.s Sammy says hi too
Bob And Sue
Hi Guys,
Once again the pics are fantastic - I think there's a budding professional photographer amongst you! - something to think about as a change of career when you get home!
I seem to recall having the mickey taken out of me for wearing socks and flipflops - having seen quite a few shots of you two in your new footwear fashion statement, I don't see anything for me to worry about do you?
Weather is getting colder here - the 'gritters' are out and about - that could mean we might just miss the bad weather altogether if we're lucky - you never know.
Everyone here sends their love.
Take care of each other.
Keep having a terrific time.
Looking forward to the next entry.
Luv you both loads.
Mum and Dad.

Tracey & Chris
Hi Ski's,
The bun is being kept very warm thank you guys and thank you everyone for your congratulations! Chris thinks you can see a little bump now and I must admit I am now back in my big jeans as the skinny jeans are getting very uncomfortable! Also had to go and buy some bras as one part of my body in particular is getting bigger! Thank you Steve for your kind remarks, had already heard all about your conversation with Chris! Wait til I see you!
Just been looking at your pictures - what can we say but amazing! Cant beleive you are soon to be leaving NZ but glad you are now able to go to Fiji. I thought seals lived at Blakeney Point!! You are both looking really well and so at home, if you knew how cold and windy it has been here you honestly would not want to come home!
Sorry but must go now as I need food! One thing is Baby Bo is a hungry little thing! I think it already has a complex as Sonja keeps calling it Annie so god help him if his a boy!
Love you and miss you loads.
Take care and see you next in Fiji no doubt!
Lots of love.Coopski's.x.
Mark & Rai
Yo whats up peeps. (Rachel has warned me that i'm not allowed to swear, which in all honesty is quite easy when there is a delete button!!!!)
In usual Mark fashion I'm a little late in writing my first message, but as i always say better late than never! Looks like you're having shed loads of fun, wish i was there. Paul i didn't recognise you without the specs, yoa looking right sexy! Zoe i miss you, i keep looking at my guitar and think of you, wishing for a rendition of Kum-by-ya, and drinking without you guys just aint the same. As you know i'm not the most computer literate person and now my fingers ache so I'm gonna leave it with you. Missing you both loads, you really should have taken me with you. Love you,
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi my Snuffly Intrepids!!
Sorry to hear you have a cold Zoe,not surprised though with all that Glacier and wet stuff you have been doing! Sorry i couldn't be there with a big hug and some lemsip!! Bet it's been fun for paul shut in a confined space with you, we all know how women make a drama out of a small cold! you should try man flu then you would know what it's like to be really ill Lol. Hope Paul has managed to avoid catching it, don't want you to loose your navigator, head chef and wine waiter in one go!!
Everyone here is ok, despite the high winds and rain, and they send their love.
Ran into Chris, the virgin father, yesterday, says he has no idea how it happened, thinks his drink was spiked!! But he is chuffed to bits.
Hope you are feeling better.
Keep living it
Lots & lots of love & huge hugs

Hello there brave young things
I am so impressed with you doing that bungie jump thingy especially you Paul - Zoe I knew you were brave going all that way with my little cousin!
Well what is going on here? Not much, popped back to the toft last weekend to joing the annual Smith/Hutchinson get together. Much fun was had, it was a 1-1 draw in the young'uns verses oldies Family Fortunes competition but us young'uns with the help of the genius that is Bradley won the Trivual Pursuit champions title.
Sadly you missed out on Auntie Margis freshly made sausage rolls (your dad ate most of them) and her special ginger cake mmmmmm!
About to have a quite weekend in preperation for Clare's sister KT coming to London next weekend - you just know it is gonna be messy.
I can't believe your NZ section of the trip is nearly over, time has gone so quickly - make sure you enjoy the rest of your time there.
