Sitting at Lis and Gary's pc at the end of a mad day. Walked into Eastbourne with Pops this morning 4.5 miles against the worst wind ever! Then we drove to Brighton (Yippee! Hate it!) to see if we could get Lis her earrings for her weeding. They hadn't got them any more. Nightmare. Then we drove Dad to Gatwick to get the coach back to NEC. Then we came back and started on dinner and are just about to eat. I am kn.....ed! Too much running about!
It was lovely as ever to hear you this morning, and the pictures are wonderful.. I am SO envious! Maybe next summer!?
Everyone else here is fine. Kate has had a fall out with her friends, but I am hoping it will sort itself out. She was in Yates' having lunch with Rosie when I called her earlier. All day breakfast for two. She really is growing up!
Will be in touch later in the week .. Please be very careful.
I love you noth very much.

Things here are good, Hayley the red beast is running ok, just have to keep giving it lots to drink!!! Sorry to hear about your camcorder!

Hi you guys, just thought i would send you a little note as i have just been reading up on your web page. I have to be honest it all looks really quite boring and i am just soooo glad that i am here in the wind and rain back here in England (GOD I'M AS JEALOUS AS HELL REALLY!!!!!). It must be the most fantastic feeling to think that you have made all of this possible for yourselves? Everything is fine back here (NOT THAT U HAVE GIVEN ANY OF US A SECOND THOUGHT!!!)Ha, i saw your Mom & Dad on monday night at Joolz's fundraiser & i have been to see Kelly-Bean tonight for my monthly "spot removal session"!!, she is fine too. I would love to tell you all about my exciting love life........................But its crap, so i won't!!!. I am sat on my bed stroking Henry (FOR THE BENEFIT ON THOSE READING THIS WHO ARE WONDERING "WHO'S HENRY????, LUCKY GUY......ITS MY CAT!!!!!".
Well i will be in touch again when i have something interesting to tell you, so it will probably be in December!!!!!!. in the meantime, have a wonderful time, be happy & safe, lots of love and hugs from Sammyantha xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Boo / Tom
G'day - Thought I would bring you up to speed with the Australian sub-culture and explain the word Billabong, which is a must when speaking with the natives of this continent, who incidentally lost the Ashes last time around!!
Billabong refers to an oxbow lake, a pool of water attached to a waterway. 'Billa' means creek and 'bong' means dead. Hence the term " My hamster has bonged ". One of the most well-known references to billabong is in the opening line of Banjo Patterson's famous song " Waltzing Matilda ". Billabong has also been adopted as the brand name for the top Australian surfing products sold around the world by Billabong International. Finally Billabong is the name given to a chocolate ice cream on a stick, similar to Paddle Pop or Fudgsicle, manufactured in Perth. There you go cobber. PS We just won the Ryder Cup thrashed the Americans 18 & a half to 9 & a half
See you in 65 days. XXX
Tomo & Nik
Hello You 2!!
Thank you for the birthday message, nice of you to remember the silly man whilst you are out there on all your exciting adventures.....not jealous at all!!!
Pics look great, especially the ones of your day at the Blue Mountains. After all the sight seeing I bet it was a welcome break to chill out at the beach for a few days.....did you remember to take your bronzing oil chap so you could top up your tan?!!
Birthday weekend was good, me and Nik didn't win much at the dogs, I won more on the nudger at the end of the night! As usual feasey the jammy git won the most...he won £75 on the last race. I didn't mind though cuz he paid me back the money he owed me so I went home a winner!!
Went to Brum then on the Sat night and Farr has updated you on the evenings events!
Did you get the job at the Abbey?And you thought the interview was a disaster...bet its a nice thought knowing your coming back to a job!
Anyway signing off now, take care of yourselves
See you soon
Tomo and Nik x

Hello U 2 love birds!!!
Missing you!! Glad to hear your still having a brill time, but sorry about the camcorder!!
Saw Rose out again last night this time dressed up as a Baywatch Beach boy (baywatch night at Fuse on Cheeseday)!!! She looked well cool and funny!!!! Just wondered if you had seen many surf dudes yet??!!
Had lots of trouble with my car recently H...think 206s are jinxed or maybe just mine and yours are!!! All sorted now though...fingers crossed!
Robbie was amazing..again...but not same without you H needed you there singing next to me...after all you do have the voice of an Angel!!!!!!!!!!! Well a very Brummy Angel anyway as I found out at Karoke on hol...Tom she might be good at pool but dont let her near a microphone she doesnt take after her Dad!! only kidding!!
Dont forget to give my aunt and uncle a call if your near Brisbane. Keep the pics coming its lovely to see where you are...like your dad said somehow when we can see you it doesnt seem like your so far away.
Kate is missing her big bro..saw her at work yesterday we did the fashion show for gala night.
Take care...lot of love,
Lou xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi you beautiful people
Thank you for your text message this morning. I really hope that I get to hear your voice over the weekend. I know that I am going to see a client in Leamington on Saturday morning, so I hope that you will be able to try on Sunday. I would try you, but obviously we don't have a number for you just now.
I am so sorry about your camcorder. That is dreadful! I bet you were both really upset and annoyed. I could probably be persuaded to 'punch their lights out' if I knew who had done it. And me a woman of the peace!
I really envy you lying on the beach readng that book Hayley. Starbucks coffee shop on Colmore Row for half and hour at lunch time, isn't quite the same somehow.
I agree with your Mum, you both look really well. Thank God!
Just about to drop Katie at college and get myslef off to a client meeting. Thank Goodness it is Friday!
I am meeting Dad for supper at The Country Girl in Bromsgrove after work. We really are getting adventurous aren't we? Notquite Sydney Harbour Brdge though.
Can't wait to hear you.
Love you both HUGE.
Keep very very safe.
