Hey Smithers,

Sounds like you are having a pretty crappy time at the mo. If it makes you feel any better- I am too. My flexiness is getting me into trouble. Missed a meeting today in Renfrewshire at 2 coz i forgot to look at my diary!!

I need a flexi queen pep talk asap as the only people in the room are Amanda, Chris and Suz (all v straight).

I now sit next to Amanda- my first ever desk buddy! Straight and flexi collide!!

Not long til you're homeward bound! Ya never know you could end up back here in the dungeon covering Suz on maternity... there's a thought that should cheer you up!! xxx

Oh my god but that was hilarious...sorry, don't mean to be mean but the whole chemicals on the legs is really funny :) It takes me back to my strawberry picking days in Canada, that truly sucked. My colleague Jenny informs me that fruit picking in QLD is dodgier than anywhere else in Oz. Take my advice and cruise to Agnes Waters and hang with my dad for a few days, you'll love it! Have fun and don't fall under the tractor for goodness sake!!!!

G'day how ya goin? Sorry to hear about the lemony (not so) goodness in Bundy. To be honest I did hear that it's not the place to be, but didn't want to put you off before you arrived! Heard that the rum is the only good thing about it! Hope it all goes well with moving to a new hostel and getting better work. We completed the arduous deerstalker run (read: trek up a giant mountain and back down again via 6 rivers and other various obstacles)! So glad it's over. Moved into my new flat, but got all the usual traumas of broken appliances etc - fun fun fun! Take care and try to have some lemony fun Vxxx

Hey mrs,

Still getting used to the new format of your blog. i don't like change. Neither does anyone else in SWAG it seems! We are all moving desks at the mo and everyone is up in arms. I've been getting text threats from Colin Wilson that I'd better save him a window seat!

Sounds like you must've been in Fraser Island round about the same time as Will. Just read his blog, but it crashes everytime i try to leave a comment.

So, how are the lemons?! Bet you'll be off them for life. not long now til your back in scotland so make the most of it! Have fun.

Love Sarah x

Hey Smithers! Hope you're having fun on the trip!

Was thinking of you the other day...had some more van adventures but it just wasn't the same without you in the passenger seat and the wheelie bins crashing around in the back!!!

Counting down the days til the wedding now - it's a month tomorrow!Got my hen party this weekend - woo hooo!

Fi xx

Hey Smitheroos! How's it going? Still having fun? Sorry I've not been in touch lately, lots on as usual. Paul & Gem's wedding looks amazing and we were all cracking up at your McKenzie poses from the other side of the world. It's so weird to think of you guys together all the way over there! Missing you lots and it's all change in the dungeon as you know. Glad you're getting some quality food & accomm with the 'rents - a life of luxury for a wee while at least! Take care and keep having lots of fun. Speak soon x

Watch out for those seals they bite you know :) See you soon!

Hey smithers, You need to eat more mrs or you'll fade away. Go and get yourself an advocado or something! The wee scoffin pig! xxx
