Hey Peeps!!!

Ok so I have quite afew days to update y'all with!!! Not that we've done to much to be honest.

The 28th we moved into our studio flat which is tres cool but way hot no air con or a fan and it is a sweat box, but it's so nice to have a room to ourselves and just have our own space and fridge freezer!!!! There is a very odd couple also staying there the fella has taken a liking to Paul and wants him to go and drink some Hennessy with him!!! Good luck Paul!! haha

The 29th we were going to go to Manly and just chill on the beach but again the weather wasn't great beach weather so we just mulled around Sydney checking stuff out. Thik we had an early night just watched afew films and hit the sack.

The 30th we went to Coogee beach, it was rammed!!! Really nice beach and we had some good weather too. We also met up with Sian, Tash and her aussie mate Meg. So wicked to see someone from home so we had a chat and just took in the beach life!!! LOVE IT!!!

The 31st New Years Eve!!! Well this was a very busy day!!! We got up early as we needed to get ready, get into town, meet Nic and Chris, stock up on food and drink, get to Dawes Point and set up base camp!!! The bottle shop we went to was restocking so we waited in a massive que out the front and the shop was tiny I have no idea how we fitted so many people in there!!! We got a crate of beer 2 bottles of wine and a bottle of Passion pop!!! Next we had to find ice (alot harder than you would think!!!). So we made it to Dawes Point with everything we wnated, just as we got there the rozzers turned up!! We were told that this year was a no drinking event (you could buy it from all the bars set up around but you couldn't bring your own!!!) but they said they changed they're shift at 4 so drink as much as we could in that time (it was 12) as they didn't want to give anyone a ticket for having a beer, but said we should watch out for the rangers!! Well no one else came round and we got wasted!!! By 4pm I had been drunk, sick, slept, hungover and got back on it!!! It was alot of fun, just having a laugh meeting people, we bumped into a girl Allenca we met in Fiji so we were chatting with all of her friends, I met another girl called Michelle and I was the only other Michelle she has ever met (I know loads of us!!!). I remember stealing someone hat and glasses which he later came and took back, darn him, I think I rang Drew (my brother at this point sorry I was well drunk as I think you guessed!!!) I think I tried to ring home not sure if I got through I couldn't hear anything you might have heard alot of screaming and whooping!! We watched the 9pm and the midnight fireworks they were amazing. We hung around for afew hours before walking all the way up George street to get a bus. The city was chaos, people singing and dancing and it was full of so many people from all over the world it was mental!!! We managed to get our bus and before long we were back home, I called Andy and Tarplee whilst dancing around with a mask and a light sabre I had aquired, I think Paul was abit traumatised. ha ha

The 1st this day was a right off, I laid in bed pretty much all day!!! oops!!!

The 2nd we have headed back into town so I could write to you lot and we are catching up with Sian again for afew drinks!!! We have so many photos to upload but this is a crap computer place I'll find somewhere better to get them up.

I hope you all had a great New Year and we are wiching all of you all the best for 2009!!!

Love to all M & P x x x x x x x x
