Hi Ant & matt
Well it was nice to speak to you last night even though you had to cut the call short as you needed to do a ward round! I am glad it is you and not jacqui as she was feeling sick when Chay fell and cut his lip and was bleeding...not sure what she would do with a foot amputation! Glad you are enjoying the cold showers! Any fleas in the beds?? Update your journal soon and remember Ant, you may not have lived the 30 Aug, but you definitely will want to live the month of September2006. Love you loads x x

Antoinette - I can't believe how long you have been travelling!! Your latest entry was dated Sunday 1 October and here in England it's only Friday 1 September!! Never mind, I'm sure you'll get back to normal soon. Seriously, though, I am still really enjoying reading all about your travels, though maybe you could leave out the hospital bits! Yuck! Keep up the good work, see you soon, love Diane

Morning! I have just read the last journal, poor Ani!!! she must have been soooooooo tired, I know you are 12 hours or so ahead of us in time, or I think it is only 12 hours! Anyway life in the hospital sounds interesting, different even! Perhaps we all should really appreciate what we actually do have available to us on the NHS. anyway great to hear from Matt last night and yes will sort all the stuff you mentioned. Sam is off to join Charlotte, I think on Monday and Chris is off to Derby and then to Loughborough on Monday. The lad he bowls in tandem with for E. U17s also got straight As, the coach was saying they must have the brainiest spin attack in the world!! Ben is gong to his and your new home today, I hope to be able to go but am really upside down here and there is certianly alot of stuff to take!! Don't forget to wish Ben well for tomorrow, there is a good buzz at the Lane and the lads are VERY fit Matt. So, no pressure to get training!! Anyway I must away, as ever 1001 things to do and not too sure where to start. Take care, lolmexxxxxxxxx

I have now managed to read all the journals entered by Matt and Ants. Sounds like you had a good time in LA Matt! It is a pity we didn't get to see each other, but I can't wait for your to get back and hear all about it. Enjoy your last month or so. Love you both loads x x

Hello again! Just read Ants last message from Costa Maya. Reason why this wasn't updated in Cozumel was because Antoinette and Jacqui were dancing and getting drunk with the locals in the pub!!! Only just made it back to the ship in time (they were both very, very ppahy...sorry I mean happy!)

Hello Ant & Matt, Well this is NOT NICE! Back at work today. Had to start at 4am (US time)! Already back in the swing with moaning parents etc. I love my job really! Ant it was lovely to see you for 16 days! It was such a lovely trip and just remember your time is now going to go so fast and then guess what? YOU WILL BE BACK WORKING!! Let me know when you arrive in Tonga and the time etc. Matt the number you left on my phone was wrong, that's why we couldn't call you back. Enjoy yourselves and I now expect this site to be updated daily! Love you both lots (demanding) Sally x x

Hey ant and matt, can't believe i'm sitting at the computer and everything is back to normality! It went so quick especially the cruise and I've got the holiday blues big time! so make sure you keep the journal updated makes me feel much better! Ant- hope you're not getting too used to the luxury in LA but sounds like it is amazing. I sent the photos in to get developed today so will pick them up tomo can't wait.
missing you already but don't worry about missing us just enjoy your time and we'll still all be here when you get back love you xx

Hi M & A, not sure where everyone is right now, well you folk anyway! Matt, flat stuff nearly all sorted, Ben has emailed you about money, you owe it all to me! I will send my bank details in a mail?! Chris did well in his GCSEs, all As and A*s and an A in his add maths so he was very pleased! Great game today for Havant v Newbridge, Ben played 2nd row and played well even though he is only just back traininig! Managed to last the whole game, fading only in the last 10 - 15 minutes. Tatty off to Corfu Monday am, Sam joining her later I think! Ben moving in next W/E, hope to take stuff Friday, I have to take Chris to Derby on Saturday. Hope you are all well, look forward to updates when you can. lol mexxxx

Hi Antz,

Our laptop blew up the other day and so we haven't been able to post a message on here for a while. Saw a brilliant documentary on Peru, it was all about Miah people who built structures and how they had constructed them using different shaped stones that fit together without using cement. It made me think of you.

Matt, I hope you're enjoying your placement at the hospital. It's a good experience for you.

Hope you're doing well, sounds like you're having a ball.

Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back.

Love from us all xxxxx

Well Ants, looks like my spelling is getting like yours. MUST BE the keyboard! x x

Hello? what has happened to all your recent photo's and messages? Is it just me or are there only the very first photos and NO MESSAGES? Last day at work today. Really need more days! House is starting to get there with jacqui's stuff. Don't know where the suitcases are and we leave tomorrow. Oh well, might have to buy some more suticase! Can't wait to get going and live in fantasy land for 2 1/2 weeks. Love you loads x x
