Laura Hey where is my other message I left months ago! back in MAY!!! Can't even remember what it said now! Glad to hear you guys are having fun. Loving the stories - they make me chuckle haha! Sorry can't write more - off to France in 30 mins!! Bye!

Simon Can I just say this is the worse blog I have ever seen. Two messages in 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dear o dear. Having said that I hope your still having fun ; )

Alex Hello, just looked at your blog for the first time, sounds like your having a great time. I wouldnt worry about missing showers, what about big brother! (Im slightly addicted) Your monkey looks good, I assume you drew it and weren't just posing next to it. I've finished my exams now, so I suppose technically I'm unemployed buts its quite fun - am making up for the lack of fun I had during exams. You've missed Charles and me being pretentious in the piazza with a bottle of champagne and some strawberries can you picture it? Anyway I ought to go outside as its actually sunny today, its a massive 23 degrees! Speak to you soon Alex

Mary Hiya sades and steve! wow sounds like you guys are having an amzing time - i'm VERY jealous. Weldone for sticking out the showers Sades, i'm very impressed! Just think it will will feel soooo good when u finally have a proper shower or bath again:-) what have u been up to recently? when you moving onto Thailand? keep in touch, take care. Love Mary xxx

Simon Hello you two. Ive had a few mentions so I thought I better post a message myself. First of all having looked at the photos its nice to see Steve got his hair cut before you went and has turned the usual lobster red!!! It sounds like your having a great time over there and making some beautiful memorys (bit soppy American that bit!!). Things are good back here in the UK, the sun shines quite a lot in Wales, Im not used to that! The new job is going well and Im also buying a house, exciting stuff for a middle aged man, lol. I got it for £21k under the asking price prob doesnt mean that much to anyone but Im excited and you have an open invite. It has 3 bedrooms and is in need of a little repair/gutting. Everyone else seems to have kept you in the loop with the current affairs and celeb gossip, but no-one has given you the world cup squad you prob have it by now but it will make me feel like Ive contributed and in any case when I was in the USA during the Euros I couldnt get enough footy news! The surprises are Theo Walcott, Lennon and Downing are taken, no Defoe, Bent, Wright-Phillips or King Hargreaves also goes, the rest is as you could guess. Try and stay away from birds ; ) Just a thought as I know Steve will be trying to buy an Indian footy shirt; if we get them cheap footy shirts from India and Asia, where do they get them cheap from?????

Vicky Hello my loves, I'm gonna be a little sad (for a change) and say first of all, I didn't post a message yesterday after reading this because I couldn't find the message board and I had to ask Si where it was, second of all I felt quite choked up when reading your stories. I'm really proud of you both. You sound like you're having a amazing experience and seeing the most beauiful things. Take a million photos. As for the important stuff...the Apprentice Final last night... Michelle scooped a victory leaving "The Badger" lagging in second place. The nation weeped. However, the aforementioned Badger completely took over the interview at the end of the show and then appeared on GMTV this morning. I sense we haven't seen the back of her. What a legend. Take care kids, love vix xxx

Gray Wow! I was amazed when Si sent this link! Wasn't sure if you'd actually get round to writing in it! Anyway glad u guys are both doing well. I can't quite believe the pair of you did a himalaya trek!! Things are certainly changing! By the way Steve, Gary missed out the part where 10 of the Tottenham first team went down with food poisening on the final day of the season, when they only needed a win to claim 4th- suffice to say we were s*** and lost and arsenal won- robbing us of a much deserved place- could only happen to Spurs. Anyway theres talk of conspiracy betting rinks and Levy's trying to get the game replayed- fat chance! Spk to u guys soon

JohnC Hello! Glad to see you guys are enjoying yourselves - sounds really fun - even if it means listening to Steve whine about a mouth ulcer! Anyway, just passing on my best wishes, and tell Steve that McClaren will be the next England manager, and that Rooney is out of the World Cup with a broken metatarsal. Cheers John.

Gary Just had a look at your photos and blog thingy - glad to hear the pair of you are having such a good time. Is Steve teaching the kids how to dive unconvincingly in football? Was a bit concerned about your comment about meat being scarce - probably wont be visiting that part of the country when I get round to travelling then! A quick footy update for Steve in case he's missed it: - Chelsea have won the Premiership title - Sunderland, West Brom and Brum are relegated from the Premiership - Reading and Sheff Utd. def. going into Prem - Hull are 18th - Ipswich are 15th - Norwich are 9th, useless c*** ! Hope you two have a lovely holiday...sorry I mean "volunteer trip" *ahem*. Miss ya, Gary
