Patricia Hello Susan and Gareth.... as I type this Mary is winging her way home and (d.v.) should touch down at Heathrow around 6.30am tomorrow morning. Shuttle up to Glasgow and should arrive 0830hrs. That's the first home. Then it will be you two next Tuesday and Marj is coming home on 10th February. I have to say it will be good to have everyone back..... but will you feel the same? I hope so. Again Gareth your travel log is really interesting to read and the photos are brilliant. Enjoy the sun before you come back to cold, damp and dull old Glasgow town. See you soon. Love Mum xx

patricia Hi you two..... Thanks for your text Susie.... you're off to Florida tomorrow? I hope the weather's great and that you have a great time. As always, enjoyed your photos of Toronto, Niagra and the Deehans. Wasn't it nice for you to see where Paul grew up - but I thought you knew about the trumpet playing Gareth!!!!! Take care. Have fun. Love Mum

Clare Happy New Year! Great pictures of you both and the lovely Vebos' and a very descriptive and dramatic description of your skiing experience Gareth, fantastic. Heading East today I guess, safe trip. All well here just cant believe the festivities are all over. Lots of love to you both The Deehans xoxo

Rachael Just been on your website and can't believe everything that you've done. Looks like you're having a brilliant time! Its been busy here, but I've managed to step away from some recruitment and the interviewing has dropped dramatically, which is great. I've also been on the first part of the Psychometric testing course with SHL which has been really interesting - now I know what you mean about BPS level A and B. Doing the second part in January. I also went to the CIPD conference with Vivienne and Fiona - which was pretty good. Have lots of pens now. I've also been getting organised with the wedding. We are now having a Chocolate fountain which I'm very excited about! We are going to Horns next week - been once already and they were really good. Nearly all done I think. Hope you continue to have a great time. Keep in touch.

clare Hi, it was great to speak to you both over the last few days. I've been catching up on the photo's they just get better and better and the LA airport log is hilarious, although i'm sure it wasn't at the time. Anyway I was laughing so much that everyone at work was curious so the five of us are now going through the photos it has made a boring night pass very quickly and they are all very jealous. You look so american in the LA photos Gareth especially the one with the 'CHIPS' glasses on remember that was your favourite programme!! Hope you enjoyed your skiing today we'll speak to you soon and we will get the other photos emailed ASAP. Missing you both , lots of love, The Knoxies xxxx

Patricia Hi you two.... last day at work before Christmas.... hurrah!! Gareth: you're really good with the travel diary..... perhaps you could take up writing as a hobby!!! Loved the LA and Vegas photos (good one of you Susie in bed!!!). So glad you're feeling better now Susan. How unfortunate for you to get food poisoning. Thanks for the text saying you had arrived safely in Calgary. Did you remember to give a big hug to Sheila for me? Have a wonderful Christmas. Opportunity now to get the washing up to date Susan!! Gran and Rosie ask about you both often. Take care. Love Mum x

James How's it going? Fiji, Hollywood, Las Vegas to name but a few. Quality trip!! Gareth, just wondering how your pyjama's and dressing gown were received in Las Vegas? Hit the town in your pyjama's, you got the right idea. All the best, Have a brilliant Christmas and New Year. James

Paul Sanderson Jesus Gareth you've done loads - pissed bored on a 3 hr telephone conference call and I tell you I'd been more productive sitting on a beach with a sea shell attached to my lug - can't hear feck all (Sorry Mums and Dads) LOL with the Airport story !!! Why didn't you play the "do you know who I am, whilst flashing your BMI Gold Card" - tell you mate your slipping. Anyway I'm reading though your test results - sorry holiday stories which is much better than listening to these chumps on the line - In England today - need beer. Anyway have a fab Xmas and see you real soon in work - bet you can't wait. (you sure you want to come back) Pabs

mary All I can say is... I am sooooooo jealous! xxxxxxxxxxx
