Happy Birthday Ruth, Gill has sent you a card to Adam's email address, so pick it up!!!! Have a great birthday Ruth and both of you have a good time. The weather here is horrible, wet and windy. We have already forgotten Christmas and work is like we haven't been away. If that makes you feel guilty then good!!! But seriously carry on and enjoy yourselves. Missing you lots but at least your room's being well used. Love Dad. PS my boss has been sacked, so that's a result.

Hi Ruth, I just wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I wont get to use the net now until next week and didnt want you to think I had forgotten you! Happy Birthday Claire too if your reading this. I hope you are having a great time. I want to see lots of photos of the Neighbours set, I am very jealous! I thought this would make you giggle Ruth. Me and a girl from work decided last night to get a train to Richmond and go to those bars near the river that we went too before. Only after walking 1hour30mins we ended up back at the station!!! Remind me if we go again when you're back to pay more attention to where we are going, heehee!!! How did I go so wrong?! I am meeting Clare there for dinner tonight, wish me luck! Miss you both loads, Love Jamie xxx

Wow Dad, pink really is ur colour!

Off to Melbourne 2moro Miss everyone, but the message board is really good, keeping us all in touch. Speak soon ad & ruth x
