Hello everyone, I am back from an excellent time at the whitsundays diving and cruising around the islands. It was excellent to see Mum, Dad and Karen again, it all went by so quickly though! Now we are in Melbourne preparing for the Grand Prix next week so look out for us on telly!!

Keep the messages coming, love Neil.

good evening jay,i see its just 10 45 pm so i dont have to wonder if your still upright. its 15 mins to midday here tuesday, slightly frosty and cool but sunny. now your card arrived yesterday so i just thought i would get back to you, it got here in record time. your really taking in the OZ, and of course its got nothing to do with the shielas has it? thats what its all about jay, have yourself a good time while your out there and enjoy the grand prix and then you say your heading north after a little while in melbourne, i hope the weather holds only i notice there was some rough stuff coming in from the east. you didn"t mention the auto so i guess all"s well. everyone is well here at home, i see your dad most days and i understand ryan and heidi are getting over the las vegas trip. my "E"s are getting through so give it a go next time. limit space so from everyone take care and from me ADIEU and all send their affections. (pompey1-0 liverpool) cup match last saturday, thought you might like to keep informed of the home front. jay,dont forget to try the E when you get around to it, but with the length of your web you must spend enormous amount of time , in and out with correspondence, but that keeps H/s away doesn"t it. so for now take care, keep well back from the track at grand prix i take it your still on your own, until neil returns from sydney, and i did say on you r own!

hello jay, hope you are getting on o.k, watch out for the sharks when you go in sea. we have just been looking at heidi, ryan & liams las vegas holiday snaps, they will be sending you some soon. they still seem really tired after the hassle it took for them to get back. their next trip will be to blackpool. well take care, and take it easy driving the buses. love from gill graham & family.

Hi Jay

Hope you're both OK. Met your grandad while walking the dogs today & he said how much you were loving OZ. How much longer will you be there for? Hope everything is going well for you both. Kev's at work right now but I'm sure he sends his love to you. We look forward to following your travels for the rest of your trip.

Take care Love Jane x

Sorry Jay,but a quick message for Fran

Fran don't forget to come see us when you're over in England x

Hi Jay. Just sitting in a cover lesson at the moment, feeling a bit bored so thought I would say hello. Liam has another grading on Saturday- this time for his yellow belt. We will take some pictures for you. Ryan is going to email you some photos from our holiday some time this week. Hope all is well- certainly seemed to be by the sound of your text the other day!! Take care. Lots of love from your favourite sister in law xxx

Hello matey, how are things? Vicky has asked me to remind you to contact Charlene by email because she's back now and it sounds like shes done or is about too do the same things as you.(If you know what she is on about, your better than I am)!Football................ Wolves now have the same points as Pompey, with an easier run in to the end of the season, and Im sure you'll know by now that Man Utd have all but thrown the league away to the Gunners!. Have fun and Be good.

Hi Jay, Hope your ok. The pictures are good and yes Charlene is back and her pictures are very similar. It may be worth while emailing her to get some tips on where is good to go. Just getting ready for work tomorrow (boring) so had better go. Take care and have fun! Vicky and Kris (and Jinx)xxx

Gday Gold coaster. its just midday here jay tuesday and i just got your text at 10 30 hrs and it was good to know your ok. i was thinking you had taken up residence and become a full blown oz, however its good to know your having a great time, i get the feeling oz hasn"t seen the last of you when you return to uk. i have chose to web you back jay has my "E" has got a worm as you have found out by trying to get through to me 3 times and failed so i have to wait until ryan gets back from las vegas to sort me out. the weather is dry and sunny most days here but its still on the cool side but then its feb, warm up next month. i have spoken to your mum this morning and i was just on the phone to your dad they are both ok but then you know that you were speaking to your mum just a few hours ago. well space has beaten me jay so adious and take care, hope to hear from you again soon when you have a minute or so.

Hi Jay and Neil AKA s***HEADS!!

Your pics of surfers look fab even if I do look boss eyed and wasted in a couple! Me and Cath are going to stick loads on our site when we get to Melbourne! Jay we hear you are zooming around in the Cheers bus now....hope you are having fun!

Cairns has been pissing with rain since we got here and we can't wait to leave but we have had to put our flight back as we are half way through our PADI and there has been a cyclone here and we were not allowed to dive on the reef yesterday so we went today and finish tomorrow yipeee!.... Can't wait to get to Melbourne, we fly saturday instead of tomorrow now...

Watch this space for more pics on our site..love the pisshead/s***heads...!XXXX

Hi Neil - Belated Happy Birthday !!- yeah I know but better late than never!! Only able to get on internet at work, and too busy most of the time - shut up laughing!! Well you look as though you are enjoying yourself toooooo much, making us really jealous. Hope you've washed yer underpants again - 'specially after that slingshot ride. Heard the trio have arrived okay - wonders of texting - can't believe how cheap it is to text. Anyway hope everyone has a wonderful time - love Lorraine

Jay looking for Alf Stewart? If he doesn't stop eating what ever he has been eating he won't have to look any further!!!! Only joking mate...it's the trimmist I've seen you for a while! The car looks the business...if it was canary yellow I'd respect you that little bit more! So it'll be coming back with you I hope, I'm sure the shipping charge will be worth it when you look like a couple of Jensen Buttons working the cowplain strip!!! I'm actually sipping a can of Fosters at the moment. If I close my eyes it almost feels like I'm there with you............almost!! The only thing missing is a kangaroo that I could try to stare out!! You boys were asking for trouble with those little b*****s....hope neither of you have gained an eye patch as a consiquence?!! Right I could talk bollox all day, but I've got to save the real s*** for my dissertation that I've now nearly finished!! Handing in Friday!! Then I'm going down under (to see the girlfriend.....work it out for yourselves). Take care my too favourite people in oz (bar paul hogan and the croc hunter)
