Heather I'm really enjoying your posts! I'm moving to NZ this summer and it's great to get some feedback on what to expect!

Sarah Hello!!! How are you getting on? We miss you loads!!! Things are grand here. Finished Mackie (I cried non-stop all day!!) and got a job at Forfar Academy which is amazing cause it was my first ever interview. Now I'm on holiday for 6 weeks and have no idea what to do! If you were here I'd be at yours right now watching Band of Brothers and reading the Twilight books (I'm on the 3rd one - sorry for ever slagging you off for reading them they are amazing). I'm painting the underpass in Fourdon this week with my dad. We are painting a huge mural. I'll put the pics on Bebo. Do you still check bebo regularly cause I'll probably message you on there cause then you can reply. Gail's Adam is away for 6 months working so we're doing bits and bobs together. At least she has Miya to keep her company. Miya isn't half as scary when you see her on a regular basis. J is keeping out of trouble. He's working very hard at work just now and I'm very proud of him. All the Wallace's keep asking after you including Doris and Nancy. They are all wishing you lots of fun! Go and hurry up and come home though, cause I'mmissing you lots. You've missed out on all the bad Michael Jackson jokes. Miss you so much!!! All my love. xxxxx

sara ross Hey doll, missing you here!! I'm sorry about your nan, sending hugs. Just been reading all your blogs and i'm so jealous!! you are on such an adventure! and so brave!!! not sure if i'd have the courage to go travel! anyway miss you babes. look after yourself and i hope the job hunt goes well! xxxxxx ps. hope you thought of us when you were eating at least one hinese meal?! LOL! sara

Noreen Cobden Dear Sarah Thank you for your messages and hope things are OK with you. We think about you a lot and thought you might like to know that your message was read out in church and also two of your red roses were plucked from the spray and placed on Nan's coffin for the burial - so you were very close to her. We all miss her so much, but we got great comfort from her lovely Funeral Mass. We gave her the very best and she deserved it.. She is now at rest and where she was praying to be so we must all be pleased for that. I hope you get a job sorted soon (one you like!) and that you are happy with your accommodation - early days yet. We have been up the Coast today as Uncle Mike has been visiting sites. The weather is glorious and we love the sunshine. Nan would not have been happy with it - she didn't like it too hot. Everyone has gone home now and we worked hard yesterday to get our house back in order. Your Dad installed my broadband phone so I will be able to make free calls after 6.00 pm and at the weekend. He is very good to me and I don't know what I would have done without his help. I also have a new printer etc etc etc. Well, we send you lots of love and do look after yourself, but have fun too. Lots of love from A Nor and U Mike xxxxx
