Hellloooooo! Back again so soon! The Easter Show is definately an experience! I am working in the main arena giving microphones and earpieces out to the MCs and singers etc for the shows. Noone famous - or should I say noone that I have heard of! The show is quite exciting, they have a human connonball, Holden (Vauxhall) cars doing fancy things like jumping and going fast, motorbikes doing lots of jumps and things, rodeo, fireworks etc. Although having seen the show about 6 times already it is not as special as it was the first time! I think I still have another 20 odd shows to go through! I have had plenty of time to go round the rest of the show, enjoying overpriced food, horses and cows everywhere! There is a big wheel, plenty of fairground rides and even cheese on sticks!
Clare - glad your first week at work was not too bad. Hope everyone else is well. Maybe April will be a cheaper month for me as not so many messages to pay for!
Best go and find some more horse poo to step in - seems to be the norm!
Love Tracey xx

Hello everyone, Well, I started my new job on Tuesday - By Tuesday night my brains had exploded - my god, I think I got too used to not working, it all came as a bit of a shock!! The rest of the week was a bit better, it all seemed to make more sence, thank goodness! The people there are really nice and I think I'm going to like it, ok, so it's ealr days yet, but so far so good. Other than that, I haven't got anything new to report, going on a training walk on Sunday, so I'll meet some more team mates, so I'll report back after that. Take care, have fun, toodle-pip! Clare xxxxxx

At last - the site no longer says Orange! I have officially moved to Melbourne. Ironic really as I fly to Sydney tomorrow - but hey!
Thanks all for the birthday messages and raisng more money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer! I had a really good day even though I worked until 4 am and then had to go back to work at 10pm with a stinking cold! Finally finished my work for the games. Had a couple of days off and now the body is relaxing so I have a cold :-(.
Flying back to Sydney tomorrow to work on the Easter Show!
Hope you guys are all well and thanks for all the messages - I love reading them! Even if they are from pirates. The pirates appeared one day in the MCG after people were working long hours and had very little sleep! I'll have to see if I can find some to take photos to raise that extra bit of money!
Right - off to bed now seeing as I can go this early without having to work! Bye xxx

I am begging!!!!

4th baby down on the left (it says Benjamin 9mths!)

Thank you all so much - would provide some much needed relief as Ben's Daddy is in hospital as he has had a big back op so life has been a little stressful!

Thank you again (it will only take a few seconds!)

Tracey - I Love you tons, thank you so much for my card, present and phone call. Miss you loads and can't wait for you to come home so I can give you a great big hug. 53 days and counting!!!!! - (By the way, please don't pay for this message - I'll stick 20p in your penny pot for this one!) Clare xxxxxxx

Hello all,

Thanks to the best radio shack guru who made the games happen!! Tracey is the best and I am happy to have assisted in the contribution to the fund.

thanks T!! xxx

Hello All, Firstly, Tracey, it was really nice to speak to you today. I so wanted to run over and give you a hug, but unfortunately my training walks have only got me up to 8 miles so far and I'm not sure my spanking new trainers would cope with the distance. Sorry I had to cut you short (after almost 45 mins!!!!!!) but my parents were sitting outside in the car waiting for me!! I'm really glad the boys spoilt you on your Birthday - naturally not as well as us girls would have done, but after all, they are boys!!! Sheema, it appears you have left some vital information off of you last message - what resturant did you go to with Claire where you met this tasty waiter - honestly, a girl needs to know this sort of thing!!! Claire - I hope you had a great Birthday, 30 is a fantastic age - and yes, I can remember that far back! Tracey's Mum, I didn't see the offer of the extra cash on the website for messages left over the weekend, I don't get on-line that much at the moment. I promise it wasn't just because Tracey is catching me up fast!! We are both doing so well at reaching our fundraising goals, we can both give ourselves a pat on the back. We may both have reached our target by the time Tracey returns, wish us luck.... Now, this Ian bloke...... Tracey may have dry, cracked or sore lips, but it's probable because she's been talking too much... NOT KISSING AUSSIE BLOKES, Please don't frighten her Mum or her friends. If anyone out there see's Tracey so much as smiling at an avaliable (or even unavaliable) Aussie bloke, please arrange to 'do his kneecaps' TRACEY IS COMING HOME, she will not be staying out there, we want her back - you can't have her. However I would be most amused if someone can get a photo of Tracey with some pirates put on the Website - in fact, if I get a photo of Tracey with at least 3 genuine Pirates posted on this website before she gets home I'll stick a fivier on her Breastcancer Website. Challenge on, go girl ;-) Well, I guess that's all from me now. Tracey, give Greg a hug from me before he leaves you. Have fun, take care everyone..... Clare xx

I nominated Breakthrough Breast Cancer as BP Marine's nominated charity for the 2006 dinner/dance - I'm pleased to announce that Breakthrough will be one of three charities supported at this years event.

Last year over £1500 was donated to a single charity, and BP p.l.c. will double this as part my individual charitable donations for 2006.

Unfortunately this money will not appear on Tracey's fundraising site - but the money will still be going to an extremley worthwhile cause.

g'day girl, thanx for your email which I only realised I got just now even tho you sent it a month ago. Definately getting dappy in my old age, or maybe I'm just catching it from Sarah H... Saw the openeing show - wicked! I know you coordinated the entire thing yourself. Have a great time babe x

Belated Happy Birthday Tracey! Sorry I'm a bit late but I've just returned from skiing in the Alps last week - The snow has been good, hasn't it Clare, I hope you're coping with working life again :-( - via Nich Burton's Stag 'Do' in Leeds over the weekend. I can highly recommend Bondi Beach with Leed's only revolving dancefloor! Probably not quite as good as the real Bondi Beach though??!

G'day cuz!! I typed an entire message and it disappeared. Oy! Obviously you are enjoying the good life down under and making some great memories in the process. I took a look-see at your photo album which makes me wish to turn the clock back about 25 years -- boy would I have done things differently!! You go girl!!! We are all doing very well and the kids are growing like weeds. I am keeping up with Ben's progress and he is absolutely terrific!! O.K., enough said... Be well and enjoy kiddo. I'll be sure to check in every now and then and hope you will do the same. Love, Cousin Karen

Well I counted 30 messages which is £6 for me. Thanks everyone
