hello pet,
wow u've been a busy bee, since last time i looked you've been to like a million places, im very impressed-u seem to be doing everything at twice the speed of jo n mikey (no offense guys).....tis good tho sounds like ur experiencing loads of cool stuff and getting a cultural experience not just doing tourist stuff, im very proud well done :) Get some photos up so we can see everywhere u're describing, at the mo its all a bit far away...
Not much going on here, ive just had half term, altho that sounds fun it actually means writing essays and planning for school placement next week---eeeek! will let u know how that goes, lol.
Lucy's bday this week, ali & i have taken over planning but lucy doesnt know it all yet so cant write it on here in case she looks :P hehe. feel a bit lacking in friends with u and jo away but we'll make up for it!
anyways i reckon this is the longest message so far, do i win a prize?
take care of urself-don't eat too many bugs!!!
miss u! :-( lots of love xxxx
PS. mr close rang me from w'ham the other night to ask if i'd been to uni yet, lol, what is that about?!!!!

yo. i see you message board is drying up! Just in case you are not feeling loved i thought i would try my best to fill it up. The only problem is, not a lot has happened over the past few weeks. Oh, i've been selected to play Holland at the end of Novemebr. Thats quite exciting as they are world champions and i get to go and stock up on drungs in Holland...Thats a joke (not very funny) to all those drug testers out there. Anyway. i've lost the plot. Keep safe. xxx

hello G nice to hear from you! A'up everybody else- will update as soon as possible but have got a bit behind so its a bit like doing homework- will try my best!

Love to everyone!xxx
Kel watch my car - and there were no scratches when i left it!!!!!!!

Hey Suze,
Wow, it all sounds amazing and I'm incredibly jealous. Am bored as hell living at home and working at the local university taking money off students, none of which seem to speak english and think its perfectly fine to walk the streets of newcastle with £10k in their backpacks no matter how much i try to convince them its not safe. oh well their problem not mine. I love all the pics espec the elephants and the stories. Sorry for being incredibly slow at doing the messaging thing but unfortunately broke another pc and its only just got fixed! oops. Take care and keep having lots of fun. Love ya xx

just letting u no, ur car is still fine. iv taking it out once adn tis not got ne scratches( apart form the ones that were already there)
i found out that i have abnoramally long legs compared to my arms too, or its just ur car seat that is weird- dnt no which.

we need to get up north at the beginning of november, its either greyhound, campervan/cake or oz experience or walk.
