I´ll point them to this website, or bore them with the details! But alternative is visiting www.mybestsofar.com & letting the rascal in charge & other people know about your experiences, as well as reading about everyones´ best times; an uplifting experience when times are: good, bad, or average.

Hi Tom's family!! (including Tom!)
I got an Exeter-Exeter rotation, so very pleased. Slightly dubious rotations in Care of the Elderly/Urology/Cardiology (need your help Janey!) and Breast Surgery... should be interesting....!
Looking forward to catching up with you all later this week x Am SO looking forward to playing 24 Andy! Haven't seen any of series 6 yet, it has been very hard to resist my Jack Bauer addiction since Tom's been away....!!
See you all soon

I hope they´ve also commented on how beatiful she is & how she must have an attractive uncle (& two others - twins by the look of her) Anyway rambling now. lots of love

Hi Tom, Lovely to speak to you the other day on the phone, can't wait to see you and can't believe you're back in one week! It sounds like you're making the most of your last few days there. Amelie will be well pleased to see you. She started nursery last week and is making her Mum proud. They keep going on about how clever she is (naturally) and how good she is at football 'better than the boys' (naturally!).
See you soon , Jxx
Ps Do you want to see Kings of Leon if I can get tickets?
