Hello dearies!

Just started a SOPHE IS NOT FAT campaign. She is lovely!!!! Your elder brother ventured home this weekend, Laura .... he is lovely too!!!! So are you! Oh, and Andy! Phew .... cleared that one up then!!!! Hope Oz is spectacular. Wonderful to hear your dulcet tones the other morning! Funny that when you are asleep we aren't, and vice versa! Then ... Pete in Italy is an hour in front! What a funny world. The front room saga ... we have ordered a CARPET!!! (Had to keep up with Heather and Cathy and their sophas!!!!). When you come home, you will have to walk on your finger tips, cos it is CREAM!!!! (It is stainproof, I hasten to add). Just picturing all that red wine getting tipped on it on Christmas Eve, when Lynn and the family come!! Not long til Christmas now. Done all my shopping! Got a big fat credit card bill too, Sophe ... so join the club! Lots and lots of love from your loved ones in Bournville. Take care. Give the kangaroos a kiss! xxxx

Hello Each,

Just chilling out chez Mother. Did Cardiff yesterday, bought up most of BHS! 20% off everything sale! (Trendy aren't we?) Bought 9 tops for the Christmas party, with matching pointy shoes. Will have to take them all back next week when the credit card bill arrives! Guess what Auntie Di's having for Christmas???

Glad you got to Oz. Have you found the Yellow Brick Road yet?
Got your texts. I am still fat. No worries there. It's a la mode you know... Britain's the fattest country in Europe. I'm just fitting in nicely! It's the season for Cadbury's chocolate fingers. Mmmmm. Also weather is perfect for mixing a bit of skin! Mother looks like a stick insect. No change there. (She says I'm jealous. Probably am!) (Just because I can get into a size 4....) <- that was Mother.

Must go, Tesco is calling. Oh what a life! Special offers on Christmas puddings yum yum.

Love Soph Loaf and Sweet Pea

Hello!
My secretary at the moment is typing my every word. She`s a bit slow, the bell has just gone. As you can tell I`ve been promoted since you both left. Haven`t time to say anymore will get back to you later in the day-children waiting!! With a bit more practice she may speed up a bit. Hope you`re both having a great time.

Just a quicky at work. Keep looking at all the great photo's. I'm not jealous REALLY! Glad your having a great time. The places look amazing keep the photo's coming. People at work are looking at them. Claire 's got her 20 week scan On 22nd November. Just think when you come home i will be a dad. !wow! Take care, a few more photo's teds would be good. All of goodrich say hello and i know you are missing alot stu.
P.S Stu dont get walking in the outback with no top on. You dont won't people shouting at you and measuring your foot prints.
Take care Lee + claire x

Heather .... Slimline model last Wednesday! Oh "Young Man"!!!! Hi Laura and Stu ... ignore we two! Say hello to the Kangaroos!!!! AND TED!!!! Love, Mom xxx

Hi guys. Your Mums right....The weather is considerably worse than yours!!!!! We're all just jealous thats all. What I would give to be on a beach in Aussie land.Instead I'm sat here with a draft through the window on my own while Johns living it up in Manchester. He recons he's at a conference...but who knows. Bet you get a better tan than him !! We are trying our hardest to keep an eye on your mom, but she's always galavanting off somewhere. Still waiting to see what she produces on a Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep having fun xx

Hello from a foggy dark evening in Bournville! Just seen your "Cabaret" photos! Well, yes!!! Seem like nice boys! We've just lit the fire, by the way!!!! We are sitting in Andy's bedroom, and have just picked our way over his old clothes on the floor to try and find the computer! Found it! By the way, where is TED???? Have you lost him? More photos of him PLEASE! Your beach photos sure beat Burnham on Sea!!!! Changing the subject ... we have PAINT on the front room walls now! Thought you would like to know. Cathy and Heather are trying to out do each other! Both had new settees virtually on the same day! We know how to live over here! Take care dearies! Love from us both. xxx

Gday!!!! "Everybody needs good neighbours" - and all that!!!!! (Eh, Heather?!)! (Haven't really gone daft! - Just the same as I always was!).

Where is Ted these days!!!?

Glad Oz is great and comfy too.
Missing you.

Given your car to some old rag and bone man who was passing! (Only joking!).

Bye for now ... (Can you tell it's Friday p.m.)!

Lots of love, Mom xx
