Hi Tom, Victoria and PAT!

Hope you are all having a fantastic time 'down under', I really wish i could be with you all.

I hope Pat gave you the big hug I sent with her. I'm sure she will have relayed all the gory details of our night out. she might like to remind me as i have little recollection of the evenings events. I do however remember what great fun she was...and that we must have stopped off at the kebab shop (waking up on the sofa with a greasy, congealed bag of something on my chest was a big clue!).

Not a lot going on at the moment. I refuse to go into town as I just know the shops will be filled with Christmas tat...oh god , did i just say the 'C' word!!!

The holiday seems ages ago, the tan fading fast, the nights are drawring in, no blogs or photos and Churchill Square has become a grotto! Think I might get on the next plane...or maybe open a bottle of wine!!!!

Love to you all XXXX

Ps Please go easy on Pat's credit card. X

pps 'Report this'? when did that happen...has it always been there?

I'm here in spirit!!! x

Mum,

Don't be lonely, we're here with you...except we're in New Zealand obviously. We went up the tallest building in the southern hemisphere today and had tea (Victoria had hot chocolate). Will blog soon.

I love you. We love you.

It's getting very lonely here!

Hi, I'm back (did anyone miss me?).

Had a fab holiday...I think! Will email you all the goss as don't want to upset anyone reading this that may have a heart condition.

The thought of Tom dancing on tables naked on his Birthday to Fat Boy Slim fills me with horror...Fat Boy Slim? I thought I brought you up better than that.

Just wanted to send you both lots of love XXXXX

Safe trip to Napier too. Love to Damian's family. Tell them I am looking forward to cooking them traditonal roast beef and yorkshire next Sunday (sorry Tor - bet you wish you were home?!) Everyone sends their love. Nan is not too well and is missing you loads. Aunty Jean and Uncle Ian now in the South Island.

Just touched down safely in Auckland after our Air Pacific flight almost dropped out of the sky...fortunately no rubber omelette was dispensed into sickbags. Seem to have arrived in the local ChinaTown area, but we've founded baked beans so it's all good.
