Hi Tracey,
How exciting being part of the Games, you seem to land yourself some great jobs!

I just checked out a few of your photos. I was a little homesick when I saw the pictures of Terrigal and your night out with Becky and Mia. I wish i had been there too!

I'm very impressed with your webpage, how did you set it up?

If you are going home via Canada, please stop in, it would be great to catch up.

I hope this is 20p's worth!!!

Take care,
Michelle

Hi Tracey
Well it is the 14th March a really BIG day for your mother. What's it like being the daughter of a pensioner? At least she will get help towards her heating bills now. Hope you are coping ok. The Games are virtually upon us; if the lights fail we will know who to blame!!!!!!!
Keep working hard and have fun too. love helen

For those who know me you'll love this story. For those who don't I think it might amuse nonetheless. My parents invited me for lunch the other day with some of their old friends. My dad also invited Chris, a buddy from his work. I thought it was really sweet that my dad has a little friend that wanted to invite to meet the family. Little did I know... Once Chris left, my parents kept on repeating how he's Italian, and 32 and an environmental engineer and one of the nicest blokes my dad knows over and over and over. Then my dad casually throws in "He's looking, you know" and gave me a knowing wink! How tragic and Bridget Jones is that?! I am so pathetic that my dad is inviting randoms from work to meet me on the off chance he might take me off his hands!! Someone, just shoot me now!

Keep up the good work Tracey. Sounds like you are having your normal awesome time abroad. Love the photos of Ben too - definitely got the Bravo look, with a good deal of Ben Sr there too I think. I have started a new job fairly recently too, which is going very well. Fund management beats accountancy...sorry Graham if you are reading!cheerio -wish you all the best for your big day tomorrow...Paul x

Hi Everyone, Carole - Iceland - Wow, excellent isn't it? I hope you spent some time relaxing in The Blue Lagoon - even though you'd need a peg on your nose in that place!! I loved it, but was there in the middle of winter when it was freezing! Tracey - gutted that your scooter has been banned, that is just plain cruel! Maybe the pink streamers were offending people? Well, I'm back - I've been on ski trip no. 2 now, though there wasn't as much skiing done, but a lot more drinkin' 'n' dancin' done! yet again I come home feeling rough and unable to speak without croaking - excellent time had then! It was also freezing, sitting on a chair lift with freezing winds blowing straight into your face isn't the best, so you have to have a wee sip to warm you through!! I'm at Foys today - training the new bookkeeper, but that's it now, I have the rest of the week off and am really looking forward to it.... sleep, laze in front of the TV....... eat...... sleep - that'll be Wednesdays agenda - the TV bit was watching Traceys show - I'll be GUTTED if I don't see her on TV!!!! Did you all see the final of 'Dancing on Ice'?? I was sooooooooo proud of my boys, that was Foys getting the finalists in the air - it looked fantastic, Jared and Adam deserve a huge pat on the back for that one. Ho hum, time to go and put my feet up - bliney it's almost 4.30, what am I still doing here!!! Clare xxxxx

hi there, lovely to hear your news and to look at your website. Great photos and really ncie that you caught up with Creana and Jasmine. They both look really well. As clare said, life here can't really compare with yours even if you are working 6 days a week. Here it is work work work. nothing to report from school all quite dull. only 3 weeks till the holidays! I will record the opening ceremony and think of you the whole way through it. What exactly do you do in your basement? By my great powers of deduction and through searching the actual albums I guessed that Ben must belong to Sally! how cute? How old is he? Do you know that Alexia also has a Ben now. He is also very cute but only 5 and a half weeks old. I will be in touch soon, take care, Enjoy the games. Love Naomi

hello Tracey. got your email this morning so felt I just had to write on your message board and say hello in more than two lines. As I type Josh is asleep in his buggy next to me. He has a bad cold, because it apparently is still winter here and no sign of spring, but the great news is that he's started walking so that's pretty exciting hey! My days must seem pretty mundane compared to yours at the moment - for example went to the chemist this morning and then made macaroni cheese, but it's totally worth it when Josh rewards me with a few steps and a cheeky grin. He has got so big you will not recognise him!!!! Dan is away skiing this week in France and then is off to New York, which gives me plenty of opportunity to arrange his SURPRISE 30th birthday party in two weeks time. It's theme is footballers and footballers wives, so I have been buying trashy clothes and jewellery and enormous sunglasses and trying to throw together my outfit. After that it's preparations for Pesach and then hopefully moving house and a rewarding holiday in italy at the end of April. Fingers crossed it all works out well. Fingers crossed for you too. Hope the ceremonies go swimmingly!!!!!!!! lots and lots of love and big kisses from us.

I saw what Tracey is working on tonight.
I was lucky enough to score some tix of her and see the show instead of watching Lion King every other day.
All I can say is good luck and keep up the hard work. Now what other big events around the world can you start getting ready for ???
After the opening ceremony, Tracey might have some time off for R+R and maybe a visit to Ramsey St to visit Neighbours and enjoy the Melbourne lifestyle.

Tracey, where have you been? You've not been on Messenger for days! They've not last their marbles and given you time off, have they? Saw some fab looking adverts for the Commonwealth games and I'm getting excited. Feeling a bit sniffly in these arctic weather conditions we're having at the moment So is my entire school, so I'm in good company. The kids are much better behaved when they're ill too! Had the next round of GCSE modules last week so no one could take any time off. The A'level results from January modules came out yesterday and there were some Bs and Cs!!!! They all did better than their predictions, which is ace. I'm really excited as I'd never taught A' level before and thought I'd make them all fail! I've been in touch with your mum about the shower the day Taylor fixed it, Sally. You were in on that Messenger conversation too, but you weren't responding...I guess you never got the messages?

Hi Tracey,
The truth is out the N.H.S. is in real trouble it gave me a pay rise HaHa. If I resigned do you think I would be sent to the House of Lords as a Dame. Tracey thanks for caring so much about me I am actually having a weeks holiday starting Friday. We are off to Iceland. Enjoy the games now they have arrived and I will catch up with you next week.
Love Carole xxxxxxx

97 Messages for January and February! Wow - thanks to you guys my total for Breakthrough Breast Cancer has been raised to £19.40. Shame it has come out of my pocket though!
Let's see if we can beat that for March and April! I do request a minimum of say 2 lines. You cruel people who are just writing one or two words!
So - in Melbourne, working really long hours, just over a week before the Opening Ceremony. I may even have a day off on Saturday - so really excited just incase! Hope you are all well - not working too hard (that means you Auntie Carole!!). Those of you going to Morrocco for someone's 60th - have fun!
Best go for now as I have work to do - but will write soon! Keep the messages up!
Love Tracey xxx
