hello!! me again!!! i'm becoming quite a regular on here, and i have just realised that i can write in bold, italic and underline.
I am off to the lakes tomorrow. Jen is driving. we are currently having a small tent issue. somehow at leeds last year phil went home with half the tent and i went home with the other half, however, i know where my bit is, but phil doesn't!!
Steven is now running quay street, well for a while anyway. Dan has injured his hand/arm or something and is off for 6 weeks. he was also off last week cause he fell off his bike and did something to his rib i think!! he is especially accident prone!!
kirsty from king street was asking how you were doing, so i said i would give her the address for this but i never got round to it. we were running mosley street together on wednesday.
other than that things are relatively dull.
take care, jen xxxxxxxxxx

Hello there---how great to see your photos----you won't realise how clever you make an old lady feel when she can open up your website and send you a message.In fact I realise how much technology has improved in recent years because as Andrew pointed out even he wasn't computing when he went travelling and maybe I wouldn't have wanted to see some of his photos!!!Helen reminded me that I didn't miss out when she was travelling because she sent me tapes of her progress and phoned regularly and even a video when she was away at Christmas!
You are all having a great time and I hope that continues--look after each other.
Best wishes from us all xx

i feel very formal using my full name in messages but as scales appears to have got in there first with the old first name i wouldn't want you to be getting confused with who's writing what!! saying that i reckon you'v known both of us long enough to decipher which one it is just through general tone!! ooh now there's a challenge!!
sounds like you're having an amazing time and your photos are mint. loved the REM ones. bet that was amazing (gonna have to get some tips bout how you got em so clear... i'm not an expert with digital cameras and whenver i attempt to take photos at gigs i just get pics of loads of bright lights!!)
i am currently in spain (not quite as exotic as you but a tad more exciting than england and also a few degrees warmer!!)
back to anglaterre tomorrow for a week in newquey before adulthood and working life commence!! hmmm maybe i'll just stay here and live in a little house on the beach!!
miss you loads, kep having fun!! take care!!
all my love!!! and big hugs!! xxx

Hello Guys!!! (come on guys!!)
Sounds like you are having an amazing time! I am sooo jealous! Tho it is a little sunny here today! whoop!
Nothing new here really! Counting down the days till I hand my notice in and tell them where to shove it! Do you think anyone actually loves their job??
I am loving that ant is now a veggie - made me laugh! that reminds me I must give him a bell and meet up!
So this weekend was adam 1st proper gig in the northern quarter. I dragged Lou along (literally had to drag!!) and it was actually really good! You will have to come see him when you get - they will be pros by then!!!
Then last night went to see some funky Jazz! So Im all about the music now!!! (well this weekend anyhow!)
Right, off to town to buy Adam a diary (yes he's gay!) then will slump back into depression as soon it will be monday again!
Miss you and big kiss to you all and give matty a hug from me - oh and tell him we go through so much LESS loo roll without him!!?!?!
Lots of love.

hello!! last day of my week off today, back at work tomorrow. off to my friends tonight for a girly night in with wine!! the packs of strongbow in asda have gone down to 15 instead of 18 cans per pack. the guy said it is because of an apple shortage. me and phil are gonna make home brew when the apples start appearing on my trees in the garden. i'll save somefor when you get back xx
Elaine (Aunty)
Take care and have FUN.
How I wish that I had been even slightly computer literate when Andrew and Helen were travelling! This is great knowing where you are in the world!
Anyway, make the most of your travels and keep in regular contact with Mum and Dad---you won't believe how much it will mean to them!
With lots of love from Elaine and Malcolm xxx
PS I'll give your details to Andrew and Helen

Right first update....still not had meat...have the shakes and feel dizzy but i am sure it is worth it? haha such an idiot.
Anyway big brother started tonight. they have found the scum of society and stuck them in a house! it is ace! My personal fave is a 5 foot Thai woman who massages people....she is so funny! There is an albino (rank) and a weird blind man...I sound so wrong saying that...but he is...a stupid gay gay gay dancer who actually makes me ashamed in the human race! argh.
Oh apprentice, I missed it last night but went onto the internet and the first thing I saw was 'Lucinda is fired' which to be honest angered me slightly.
Anyway glad you finally got to Toronto, Land of strongbow... haha you are half the way round the world try something new! :P Strongbow sales have plummeted in the UK, they are talking about making a constant supply in every city you are staying in just to keep sales at an all time high. haha.
Anyway give my love to Carol and Dinesy! tell Dines I will email him tomorrow!
:D

What happened to the photos? One minute they were there and the next some different ones appeared which didn't seem to have anything to do with you. Is it me?
Love Mum xxx

hello liz and gang!! i was very drunk when i txt you on sat, i didn't even think you would reply, i was expecting you to get it next year sometime!!! i was shocked by the reply. it was said by some that they have never seen me as wrecked, however i don't really remember being that drunk, and i was ok on sunday when i woke up at 3pm!!
went to see foo fighters on monday as well. they were well good, but i had to drive cause they don't have late night trains to accrington.
hope you are all good, sounds like an adventure journey to toronto!!
niagara falls sounds well good, wish i was there to see the difference!!!
have fun
xxxxxxxxxx
Ant
Aww Tucks and Carol- Anne....what crazy adventures you have been up to!!
Well I am LOVING life without Bunzl. God that place was s***. But very much enjoyed the farewell speech where they gave me money and vouchers!! £80! not bad, I wasn't going to complain. Anyway have another week off before I start so I am going to the gym every day....trying to cut out bad food....so went shopping today and all i have managed to do is buy quorn, some veg and milk.... not even exaggerating, you know I love to do that....I literally went in with about 50 things to buy...and came out a vegetarian!
Anyway I will give you an update on my quorn adventures soon, probably be so much more entertaining than your silly holiday :P ha.
Anyway apprentice time...Michael the fake Jew got kicked off. Was so funny!! I was well happy, I ran around like i was single again...only Liz will get that.... They're at the interview stage now with 5 left. Alex, the cockney bloke...fat claire, boring Helena and hat loving Lucinda.
Oh it is good. Home and away I do not watch so I presume they are still on the beach and the kids went to school...
Anyway nice to hear from you, I am reading this blog and checking all the time for updates.
Give my love to everyone! Glad you are having fun!
