Hi Tania,

Sounds like you had a wonderful time in Ghana.  It was Jason's mum & dad's ruby wedding anniversary this weekend, so we had a suprise party (which his dad organised for his mum) on saturday, which was good.  Cheap beer as it was held in a work mans type club!  The house move is taking ages.  The person at the top of the chain has had to pull out as the house they were buying had structural problems - that means we've now got to wait for them to find somewhere now - I dealt we're be moving until xmas at this rate!!  Still never mind, Jason and I are off to Taba in Egypt in two weeks, so we're concentrating on getting excited about our holiday instead now!  Have fun in South Africa.  Lots of love, Anna and Jason xxx

Hi Tania

Just read your journal. Sounds like you had the most wonderful time in Ghana no doubt it will be the same in South Africa. Weather here is awful rain, rain and more rain. Hope you haven't stolen any of the children to bring home with you, you will get into trouble, look at Madonna. Sounds as if your host family were lovely but I bet they are also a little bit glad to be able to eat all the things they like now Ha Ha. We are all well here. Anna and Jason off on their holiday soon and Sarah a couple of weeks later so all will be quiet in the Critchley house with Sarah away. Susan and the boys are good but Liam still isn't doing much apart from growing and shouting at us. Take care on your next onward journey. Love to you. Auntie Carol & Uncle Pete

Hey Tan,

Missing you lady... good to hear all that you're doing. I went for an interview today, still with SW, I was rubbish so thinking I haven't got it. I go on hol thurs!! only 2 more sleeps! SOOO can't wait, 2 weeks of hopefully some of that paradise you talk about... Tell all when i get home. Love ya darlin xx

Hey dude,

I miss you so much, just read your last entry with a proply(!) fat smile on my face haha! Still can't believe it's all come to an end! Back home's great, however weird too as everything's so expensive and everyone walks so fast...what is it with English people...they should really grab a star  and an egg sandwich and slow down..went into Topshop on Saturday, D went to another shop, I called him after 10 minutes to say I couldn't cope with all the stress, and left hahaha! Pathetic hey! Bought a couple of nice tops in H&M...making you jealous..come on no chance you're living yet another life away from the stresses and strains of well people who have pretty much everything!!! Went to a club last night £20 entry....yup my mouth dropped too!! Anyway yam ball, I'll stop babbling now but thanks for all the texts...I've obviously given up on my 'I never text back' but thats because I miss you soo much! Love you poppet, take care of yourself and I hope you have the most AMAZING (well come on which other word was I supposed to use!!) time!! Big fat non-sweaty hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Honey.  Well we are at auntie debbies as ben stayed the night last night.  Auntie debbie took him to mansel park this morning for a hour, it was pouring with rain and she got soaked!!! Ha Ha.  He had raost dinner for his tea last night and this morning.  Sonia has just got up.  She will talk to you next. 

Hi tania, i am having driving lessons now.  So be careful cause when I pass I may want to borrow your car.  Still at placement at Holy Family school twice a week and at college the other three days.  Now its Mums turn.

Hello Tania,  Sorry I haven't been on just had the computer fixed which was rather expensive.  Just started weight watchers to try and shift some weight so hopefully will be a couple of stone lighter when you get home.  Justine has got her feet insoles which seem to be working and haven't had to use the wheelchair since christmas.  Been helping mum take the paint of the walls in kates room.  What a terrible job,.  about 15 hours of steaming the walls altogher.  Off work all this week going to basingstoke on tuesday for a walk around so sammy can spend her birthday money.  Justine and Sammy going to Isle of Wight festival in two weeks time.  They will be sleeping in a tent and have to use porta loos, maybe these will be of a better standard than what you are using but you know english porta loos, so maybe not.  Anyway back to mum now.

Well babe better go and have another fag before I leave auntie debbies and walk home in the rain.  Auntie Debbie will take me but I will walk and then ben doesn't need to go out again till later on.  Going to have a lazy day on the sofa and watch TV.xxx Love Ya loads and miss ya loads.  xxxxx
