Take care everyone! And hey - how well am I doing for Breakthrough Breast Cancer - we have a swear box at work - and it is filled on a daily basis. It's so exciting. Bye for now xxxx

Hi Tracey
No news from you so presume all is well! It is freezing cold here -just been reading the temp in Melbourne thanks to Justin!
Hannah has just arrived home and it seems I will be the mother of a bride in about 18 months! She was proposed to on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco by Josh, who stayed with us in the summer after being with Hannah on the Ulpan for six months! So he is in Sacramento and Hannah is here! Long distance romance or what! Anyway they are both really really happy. So we have had loads of celebrations here for a few days! All my love Helen

Great to speak to you the other night. How soon before your here in Melbourne ???
Your missing the heat 44 and 43 last Sat. and Sun. But don't worry it'll be 44 again on Thursday. I go and put the beers in the fridge now for Australia day.
See you soon

Oi Bravo - That's 50p you have to earn elsewhere - I'm not gonna give it to you!!! What are you like!
Mrs Bravo - If I ring you every now and then can I have 20p a time? ;-) I think my Dad will pay me not to go to theires and eat all their food every lunch time!!!
Helen, Sorry I don't have a clue who you are, but congratulations on your news, you must be very proud. Sheema & Taylor, how are the new living arrangements going?
And as for the poor little whale - bless it, I feel as though London has just lost it's pet, how sad.
Anyway Tracey, I am pleased that you are enjoying yourself and having fun (how else could you forget your Mother?) If he's an Aussie I'm coming over with my Cricket Bat so tell him to watch his knee-caps - you are ours!! If he's a Brit abroad..... has he got a good looking, single older brother ;-)
Miss you......... have fun....... Clare xxxxxxx

Hi Carole
Thanks for your congratulations! I am also glad your nephew by marriage moved on! So at last I will have a son of nearly 30 earning a living!!!!!!!
hope all is well with everyone on Message board for Tracey and Tracey CONTACT YOUR MOTHER!!
LOVE
HELEN

Yes it has happened. It's taken just under the 4 weeks!!!!! Remember I have to give 50p a day, every day Tracey contacts me, in any way, to her charity walk? Well Saturday she FORGOT!!! Enjoying herself too much, you may well ask, and who with?
Do you know? she even knew about our whale, deep down in Oz land. I think the whole world knew about it.
So Tracey how many more days will you forget to contact me?

Hi Helen,
Glad Alyth Gardens wanted my nephew by marriage so that Neil could go to Finchley progrssive. I'm sure Tracey wont mind me using her notice board to say congratulations.
Look forward Tracey to our next chat on messenger.
Love Carole

Hi Tracey, I am really enjoying reading the messages from your 'friends' but even more so, I am really enjoying writing this message to you: NEIL HAS A JOB - HE WILL BE THE RABBI AT FINCHLEY PROGRESSIVE AS FROM JUNE 2006! It is soooooo exciting, I wanted to tell you last week but I was sworn to secrecy until their Council meeting last night. So today Paul and I are shouting it from the rooftops!!!

Hope you are keeping well, enjoying life and not thinking about your homecoming yet!! all my love Helen

Hi Guys, Clare here. I'm still at Foys, 3 weels to go. I have had a few people come to me to 'discuss' work offers, which is VERY flattering, but I just want a couple of weeks off before I start to think about having to earn my living again!!
Taylor - Hi, I will meet you - BEWARE!!!
Sheema, sounds like you made a good descision, he's already on the message board - how cool is that. Just coz TJB has gone doesn't mean we can't have a crack at the quizz one Sunday??????
I'm off to see Mary Poppins tonight - with Teresa Foy on the Company Credt Card ;-)
Gotta fly.....
CLare x

Well Tracey if you hadn't gone to Australia I would not have had the fun of reading the messages from all your crazy friends! even John Howard. What can I say but TGIF but according to Peter IWSBM. Life plods on at The Royal Free. Are you doing anything exciting Tracey or just working? Any men on the scene, I wont tell your mum. Look forward to another chat on messenger soon. The London Marathon is coming up for discussion again at The Free, if I help this year I will be the proud owner of four medals and never have run a metre, not bad.
I suppose I had better get some sleep or your mum will worry about me.
Take care, Carole and Peterxx

ok lets get some order here!!!. Tracey, you could write a message here you know, its been a long time since you told us what you do all day, always so busy!!!! Taylor welcome to this crazy world, don't suppose Sheema told you about this part of the flat sharing!!! Well done Sheema. John Howard, sir! what can I say!! I was aghast when Tracey took most of clothes out of her suitcase, in favour of those Jaffa cakes. She packed an entire case full of Jaffa cakes. I am so pleased they were appreciated. Hi Clare, have you flown away yet? No I wont ask, I know you will tell us all when you have good news. Carole, you are really as nosey as i am!
Salenams,yes, anyone with a lordship can only mean that you are looking after my grandchild! Take care of him, it also Tracey's nephew! Clare and Josh, how are you? long time no see or speak. Did T tell you that we have book written and featuring you!!! Suprise suprise. Ok everyone, lets keep talking - thanks to you all
