Jane Whitehaven Beach looks amazing. Glad the weather was fine for you. Matt at work had cloud and rain at the Whitsundays when he went over 5+ years ago. His memories are rather different. Some sense of scale with the photos of spiders (beasties) would be good next time! Are they 3cm or 10cm!

Jo Hi guys, hope you like the photo's, following shortly will be a second by second account of our trip written by rachel, so keep posted! Other than that we are both well, hope you all are too, lots of love xxxx

Jane Have a great time in the Whitsundays week after next - can't wait to see all the photos. Cross fingers for fine hot weather.

lottie lovely to hear from you jo - i am alone at work (only 5 1/2 until unemployment/freedom) and this has really cheered me up. look forward to hearing from you both soon xxxx

Stephanie 'your mate' Mott So here it goes, I have nearly finished Uni - I have no money, but I do have determination...and that is going to be what gets me over to Australia to see my jonah and raquel - try and stop me. I then have to go vis Hong Kong on my way home to visit new found Uni friends - if you are up for a little trip, join me, it will be most amazing. I love you both so so so so so much and I don't think you quite understand how much I miss you. Must go and do a presentation now while you sit in the sunshine and slowly turn into pork scratchings.... All my love girlies xx

Katie Hiscock Guys I am sooooo totally jealous of you! I wish I was there! Things are going well here in not so sunny Essex! I feel it is becoming part of my soul tho and I am picking up the lingo....this needs to be remedied! I am not a chav! Altho saying that I am about to book my summer holiday to Ibiza for about £250 for a week so thatll be a little bit chavtastic! Ah well if you cant beat 'em! Take care of yourselves please, we want u home in one piece and not eaten/bitten/drowned in a swamp! Love u girlies! xxxx
