Hi Anna

Delighted to read your journal and awed by your experiences to date and know you have so many more ahead of you.

Just returned home from Spain which was a treat as it was unseasonably hot and my colour is great but so darn cold here I canna expose my body (but thats no bad thing!)

Continue to live life to the full; you are certainly having a slice, but also know that we love and miss you and look forward to hearing all the bits you have edited out!

Good wishes to you both from all us Worthys

Hi Nic & Anna,

NZ sounds fantastic!! Dune surfing, White water rafting, SKY DIVING??**!! You maniacs - sounds like you are up for absolutely everything - good on yer!! (Be careful though - sorry had to say it!!). Nic - wot happened to girl who didn't like flying & now you are going to jump out of a plane??

Nothing is going on round here & it is so cold & wet, wish we were in NZ! Everyone keeps asking how you are getting on. Anyway, keep up the blog, it's great!

Love to you both - Jan xxx

Hey girlies!

Firstly 'd like to say Heather Staff hasn't changes one bit. When I first went to uni she asked me, "Oh, my friend is at Leeds do you know her"? Ha! A little over 40,000 students. Hmmm..... No sorry, Ha!

Anyway, it sound like you guys are having an awesome time and im glad you have found a nice group of friends, stops you pulling each others hair out i guess, and the weather is so nice. Leeds and Manc are their usual uneventful selfs. There is one thing though, a company which runs a night called "Carnage" came to Leeds and basically you pay a sum of money and its a giant bar and club crawl with drinks semi included. This night got so messy that four people where taken into hospital and one stopped breathing! How nuts is that! So stay away from those crazy antics if there are any like that out there.

I'd love to see some pics if you have time to upload them.

Take it easy, Joe x

Hello again! Thought I'd let you know that one of my mates from uni is in new zealand at the mo too- his name's chris french, you might be in the same place?? Yes I know it's a big country and the chances are slim but I know you'll bump into each other at a massage parlour- when he's desperate and you're short of cash. No news here, other than finding out I can let my chocolate fountain solidify and then heat it up and it still works! So is now a permanent fixture by the sofa! Highlight of my week. And i fell over at work today. That's all! Maybe soon I'll update you with more snippets of my interesting life. Byeee, play safe kids xxxxx

Kia Ora Nic & Anna - Cool to hear u are enjoying your Northland trip-Cape Reinga - 90 Mile Beach- " Kapai choice"- .Pete LOVES 90 Mile beach shellfish...hint hint !!.....
