hi all. missing u all but guess what, will be home this month!! feels weird saying that but itl be great to be home and see everyone again. gemma we must do a reunion soon. but where oh where is lora loo?? hopefully i can do a road trip to wales and see all my lovely relatives and friends in swansea too?

emma ur so silly. shame alicia isnt coming! i emailed u yesterday but in case u see this soon heres what me and chris are doing. flying out from stansted on the 6th to lyon. staying at his uncles house then getting the train down the next day or the day after to toulon. wedding etc we're staying in out cabin with family en masse. i think theres room for u if its just u but if theres u and a freind then u can bring a tent maybe?? we're flying back from marseille on the 11th. i believe this is true tho chris booked the flights so maybe he'l correct me. so what u wanna do? u could fly into lyon and come down with us? or fly direct to marseille? we're having a mini holiday so u dont have to fit into my plans if u dont wanna join us but flights to marseille are pretty cheap and im sure u can get a train/car/whatever to toulon. lemmie know hon!!

see everyone in a month or so.

Hello!
Just a quick one to say hi and I hope you're having a fantastic time, it certainly looks like it! Flights are booked for france, and I can't wait for you to get home. Missing you like crazy

Yo yo yo siany, so i still havent had any email and now i´ve just sent anthoer grupie i thought i´d check your website (afta a few attempts at remembering it!) to see what´s up, woo you though, all sounds amazing. loved the japs story and the posh hotels sound good!!

South america has been amazin, gutted to be goin home thursday but looking forward to seein everyone, got dinner booked with the girls already, and cant wait to see Sam, he´s been sooooo lovely since i been away, miss him quite a lot which have found abit weird being my independent me!! hope you´re not missin Chris too much (big congrats Chris on the fire job, you must be soooo pleased) when are you home by the way? anyone can answer that if sian doesnt reply by the way!

Ooh also, laura emailed me to tell me alicia´s not coming to the wedding, so i no longer need to co-ordinate with her on flights and a place to stay, what are your plans, are you and chris takin a mini holiday so i dont need to co-ordinate with you either?? is there space for me where your staying? if not let me know so i can arrange as soon as i´m home.

oooh long post, whoops! but you love me for it i´m sure!! take care, keep havin an amazing time, loves you xXx

Hello hello..... I want a panda!!! they look so cute-if not a big one i would settle for a pretty little red one. any chance you could sneek one back in your bag? Chris' cat is just not the same, he makes me sneeze, although he is about as big as a panda! went to see him today for birthday lunch (chris, not the cat) and enjoyed some of the sunshine. amo was there too wich was lovely and we played top trumps. amo and i went out very quickly as they were football ones and you know how much interest we take in that subject...... love all the pictures it looks ab fab! make sure you have much fun and stay safe xxx

who has a llama? i have a llama!!!! thank you so much for the badge, i love it and it now has pride of place on my bag. rivalling, dare i say it, my shoreline colours! twas DDDs bday this weekend and we had a bit of bbq fun for which cwissi, davey and gemma were able to join us- almost like old times. so much hilarity- i don't think i've laughed that much for ages! saw the pics/vids from your china adventures and heard all cwissi's anecdotes. it really does sound like mucho fun. anyways, we will continue to look after cwissi for you and attempt to keep him cheerful even though he does miss you terribly (will he mind me writing that? ah well, done now). keep on enjoying yourself and stay safe. xxx

Well let's see: Brangelina had a babby called Shiloh Nouvel, the number one Al Qaeda person in Iraq, al Zarqawi, was killed, Bush is still pressuring Iran, the World Cup officially opened, and most imporantly Rooney had his scan and has gone back to Germany looking to play in the quarters. Hooray! And in less exciting news Annie May and I finished the Shoreline yearbook today, and Dave went biking in North Wales. And it was 28 degrees yesterday and I got pink.

Hope you're both well, lots of love from everyone here
