Well what a lovely surprise yesterday...a postcard from Fiji and it was sent on 8th Feb! Thats better postage than Ibiza.

The boys & I thought the message was funny, but for some reason Paul is a bit miffed.

I must say though, that whilst in the pub watching the final, Paul was cheering on Spurs. It was fantastic and even more poignant that Pauls son is a chelsea fan and he was dying on the spot as the whole pub erupted in spurs songs.

Bumped into Mo today at an athletics comp and she asked after you both. I have updated her and she said it would be great for us all to get together when you get back! As long as Wendy doesn't end up in a bush, Carol isn't sick and Heather McCartney doesn't run off down an alley-way we should be fine!!!!!

The boys keep asking when you're back because we got absolutely no use out of the pool last year and theres a big possibilty we could end up with 2 nutty hounds in it if you don't collect it soon, Jo.

Looking forward to the WELCOME HOME party....

love to you both,

Jo, Paul, Frank & Ted xxxx

love dad & carol xxxxx

hi there hope you are still enjoying fiji. Cant wait for some photo`s please. We are listening to the carling cup final. Its 1 - 1 and extra time at the mo. Oh yes spurs have just scored in the first couple of mins of extra time. Its so exciting. Pray we can hold on.

Hope this has been imformative for you. Oh jo newcastle lost yesterday sorry.

Love dad & carol xxxxxx

Wow we got a mention.

It sounds like Fiji is the best place you've been to so far. Please don't come back too bronzed because we all look insipid.

Sorry that some of our posts are uninformative but thats because we lead such exciting lives back here in Planet Thanet he, he.

We now have another member of the family in the guise of Ralph, an English Pointer. We haven't got much of a lawn left due to the fact that George and he keep tearing it up. Roll on Freddie coming to visit!

On the footie frront, Gazza has been admitted to a mental hospital and the newest joke going around is that KK is pleased to have him back with the toons..... As for Spurs, we managed to scrape a win against Slavia Prague, then the big match on Sunday against dirty Chelsea to prove that we are capable of beating Arsenal 5:1 and gaining silverware in 9 years!

We hope this has been an extremely informative message and look forward to your next blog. (Don't be so selfish and get off the beach because we all want to see some photos)!

Take care,

love Jo, Paul, Frank & Ted xxxx

Hi Robinson crusoe and girl friday, again the islands you have moved to sound fab. Especially the bure in the tree, just dont have to many beers and try to climb up to bed. Still must be a great view from there.

Well life here is pretty normal libby has been round today, causing havoc as usual. Hope you got our email laura, and you liked the photo`s of libby that i sent you. As i said we have tried a few times to call you but without success but sarah said you were having trouble with a signal.

Dad said was the fish you caught as big as the one he caught in antigua, i dont think so do you laura lol lol he he. And he said let him know if you want him to pick you up from the airport and what time.

Well laura spurs are on a roll they won last week 2-1 against prague the 1st leg, 2nd leg this week at home. By the way jo newcastle are not doing to good.

Hope this message gets second prize or jumps into 1st place. But what is the prize ?

Really hope to be able to speak to you soon we miss your dolcit tones.

Lots of love and kisses.

We are having the same problem with our peeps and the message board good luck trying to get people to write. we are at www.statravelblogs.com/keithandjoy

Hi there. Well fiji sounds absolutly amazing and beautiful. We have just had a few days of sunshine, but i expect nothing like what you are having. Shame the weather cheered up in NZ before you left.

Dad had a good birthday got lots of nice presie`s, the best one was your phone call. Spurs are doing well won again at the weekend. Playing prague tommorow night uefa cup. Hopefully we can get up to white hart lane when you get home.

Shirley & nan lil came for dinner on sun so we gave them a slide show of your photo`s. They also think the places that you have visited look great. Shirley has herself done the chopper trip over the barrier reef. She said it is amazing. They both send there love. Sam & Greg are doing there backpacing trip later in the year.

Well enjoy the sun and beaches.

Take care lots of love dad & carol xxxxxx

Its very difficult sending you a message without mentioning football. Poor old KK is having a hard time trying to turn Newcastle around and Spurs are on a roll....

Anyway the rafting looked wicked, but why didn't Jo do it too?

We're sure Fiji will be amazing. The photos are great, but we've had trouble getting the videos to run. It will be good to see the next album.

George has settled in with great ability to pinch our shoes, socks and my underwear! He is remarkably similar to Freddie in the way that he is quite nervous and hates sleeping downstairs.

The boys are off to Austria skiing next week, so it's a peaceful half term for us!

Miss you both. Enjoy Fiji.

love Jo, Paul, Frank and Ted xxxx
