Hope you both doing well and still enjoying yourselves!!!
Can you believe that I have my 1st day to myself in four months!! Sue and Ken got back off of their travels last week and bless them have got M&B for a day!! So I have been to Tescos, drank a whole cup of hot tea (not luke warm!) and am trying to catch up on housework that has desperately needed doing in ages. Steve has been away a lot lately and is completely snowed under with work so it has all been a bit manic and we have been going to bed at 8.30pm absolutely shattered!!
Thank you for M&B's birthday presents. They had a great day albeit a bit manic. Steve had to work but we had a nice dinner with them and I bought a cake. Andy, Daz and the girls came round for an hour in the evening aswell. They were thoroughly spoilt and at some point I have to write my thank yous, so take this as a thank you as its probably going to be quicker than a written one which you might get at christmas at the rate I'm going!
Ben and Mia are starting to talk loads more. Ben this morning didn't want cereal for breakfast, he was asking for "cookie" and "cake" and Mia is getting quite good at "head, shoulders,knees and toes, knees and toes"!!
Ben is still waking through the night unfortunately, last night it was 12.30pm, 3.00am and then Mia woke me up at 5.45am, can't remember what it was like to have a full nights sleep and a lie in!
I have been looking with Emma (inbetween kids naps!!) for hen night ideas. Best one so far is long weekend at centre parcs! 3 nights for just over £100. Activities are bit extra but you can do as much or as little as you want. The pool facilities are free, and you can hire bikes, lots of restaurants(but I thought we could eat in one night to keep cost down) and ttake loads of wine!! Will let you know what we decide, we are waiting to hear if Auntie Kate, Natalie and Faye want to come.
Anyway better go as I only have two hours left to do loads of work!!!
Loadsa love

It was great to speak to you yesterday and hear all about what you have been doing. You seem to be having an amazing time and doing lots of interesting things. We had a good time with Gaye and Mike and our parents yesterday and on our way home came through sleet and hail stones. The weather has been cold today compared to last week with the threat of more snow showers. Jo came to see us last night and she said on the train from Leeds the fields were covered in snow. She is very well and going away with Nick for a few days this weekend. We went to a quiz evening Saturday night - came fourth - not too bad. Had a letter from Olly to thank us for his bday card and present and he said he is enjoying reading about your travels. Hope the rest of your holiday is as enjoyable as the last bit. Take care of yourselves. Loads of love Mum and Dad xxxxxxxxx

Hi Steph and Rob
Hope you are feeling much better now steph and hope Rob enjoyed his visit. Sarah and Steve came over yesterday and we went to Irchester country park with Mia and Ben. They enjoyed it and were very good walking but very tired when we got home. Dad is working a half day today and I'm just taking a break from the office work. Everyone is ok and the weather is a little better with some sun shine although still chilly. Will go now but take care on yourselves.

Hi. It was great to speak to you and can appreciate that although it was good to see some of the sights you are now looking forward to your next adventures. We had a family day out to St. Johns on Friday. Nan had an x ray for her hip and dad and I had a blood test for cholesterol. The places dad takes me!! We have spent the afternoon today in the back garden trying to clear some of the weeds, can't believe how much they like our garden. Dad wants to put some vegetables in soon as the weather has been so warm - not as hot as you are having. We have got nan and grandad coming for Sunday lunch tomorrow and they are thinking about celebrating their 64th wedding anniversary at our house on the 31st March. Another overload of O.A.Ps.!!! We are being treated to a meal on Friday by one of dad's contacts. Do not know where we are going so could be interesting. Jo has gone to Nick's parents this weekend to meet baby Jack. Nick was upset this week because their cat got run over outside their house. Dad said he could have Jessie!! No not really - We hope you enjoy Vietnam, take care of yourselves. Loads of love mum and dad xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi
Hope you are enjoying vietnam. Was nice to speak to yu last week. Everyone here is ok. Saw the twins on Thursday and they are fine. Starting to talk more. It was nice weather so we all played in the garden and Mia and Ben loved it. Sarah is coming over tomorrow morning and we are all going to Stanwick Lakes. Dad is working at Doddington today and was pleased as we had a Lotus on the drive. He drove it up to Doddington. It put a big smile on his face. He has his first race next week!!!
Hope you are enjoying Vietnam. Is the group the same as Cambodia? Well must go now keep enjoying yourselves and be careful.

Hi guys..... Well this is our last day in Cambodia. We are in Phnom Pen and its quite a big city. Yest we went to S21 and the killing fields. Obviously we didnt enjoy that but you cant ignore what happened. It made me feel quite ill when the guide was showing us the tiny cells where they literally just left two people in them to starve to death and also the torture tools. I think it was soooo distressing for the sheer fact that this happend only 20-30 years ago!!!!! The killing fields still had bits of clothing and we saw human bone sticking out of the ground and i felt terrible when they showed us this tree where they used to beat children to death in front of their parents!!!! And the UK did NOTHING!!! Not nice! On the upside we went out for a nice meal and a few beers later that day so slept like a baby!!! Rob didnt tho, he had nightmares bless him!! I have appreciated the beauty of Cam but am ready to see Viet.
Emma, cant believe your computer!!! How unlucky!!! Can you email me the website of your honeymoon, i want to know just how jelous i should be! Also your ring, i want to see the big rock on it!!! Ha ha!
Arr, SSMB, i know you too well! I know that you must be crying yourself to sleep each night, missing us soooooo much!!! Ha ha!
Hi Pam and Paul. We are well fed out here, lots of great veggie food and local beer!!! Glad that Nan J had a great bday, sorry we couldnt be there or get a card home on time! Think Rob sent one in Bangkok.
Well better dash, we are going to see the Silver Pagoda and am going to Friends for dinner tonight Em!!!
