Hey Ash and Lauren,

glad you have finally updated your blog even if it did take lauren flying to oz just to put a new message on. only kidding, hope you are having a fab time. im really jealous, im sat at home at the minute with nothing to do, who knew being unemployed would be so boring.

it was really nice to hear from you on sunday morning, its just a shame you called at half 8 in the morning and i was still hung over. i did listen to most of what you said and it sounded cool but sorry if it sounded like i fell asleep during our conversation - i probably did!! he he. i really envy you though, getting off your backside before its too late and doing something exciting. i wish i had done that before i settled down with a job and a life. boo hoo. do you feel sorry for me yet.

anyway good news is ive got a new job which i start on the 23rd of feb, its a really good chance for me to progress in my accounts career but im really nervous.

anyway going out tonight for valentines so going to get off and get ready - you know how long it takes me to put my war paint on.

speak to you soon, love you loads, hope you have a brill time.

It was nice to talk to you both earlier - hope you enjoy your trip - have lots of fun and lauren make sure ash puts on some pics.

An dto you dave - hope you pick plenty of grapes and make lots of money but remember that sun tan cream!!!! - dont end up looking like ash

Love to you all

Dude,

Got your card for the wedding and gave you a heads up - your hand writing is very much like your mums - funny that. Honeymoon went well but damn cold in NY. Lauren came to night do she seemed ok and looking forward to joining her hubby.

Keep that building that sales record we keep hearing about.
