Hello everyone, its nice to see what everyone got up to on new years eve. Amy getting wasted and passing out, surely not! Byron Bay was not bad , we only stayed there for a few days because we had to meet Neils bro in Brisbane, probably go back down there soon. Not sure if you want to stay there for 2 weeks though, but its very hippyish, so you will probably like it!! Hello Lou and Jade glad to see you have found the web page, i will get the postcards out to you soon! Hope all the Iceland crew are ok, say hello for me. Jane i think you got the raw deal there, but you are married to a Leaves and we do normally get our way! Hi Kev. Hello Marta, nice to hear from you, hope you passed all of your exams, and enjoying your holiday, you have to go to Phi Phi in Thailand it is brilliant. Let us know how you get on. We are going back down to the gold coast tomorrow where we will be staying for a bit i think. More photos to come, and we will keep you updated with our travels shortly. Laters Jay.

Hi Jay
Sounds like you had a fantastic New years eve. I was working & Kev went to Keiths for a party.Now where am I going wrong? Anyway we had a good time. Hope you are both keeping well. I see just about everyone in the family have found your site now that's good isn't it? A very belated Happy New Year to you.
Lots of love Jane & Kev x

Hi i meant s*** (as in sandra went mad at us!!!!)cause didn't know if to swear or not!!!

Hey there! Just discovered your website - what a fantastic idea! Happy New Year and all that - it sounds as if you are having an absolutely ball and the pictures are brill. I hope you have been looking after my little sister Sal while she's been there and protecting her from any hardy looking 'sheila's'. I have been catching up with your big sis Neil and having a good chinwag - I'm so envious that she is going out to Oz....my turn one day I hope! Say hi to Sally & Scott if you meet up again....byeee...(I hope you know who I am!)

Hey guys. Happy New Year. Sounds like you had a good one. I think I did, can't quite remember. Had to be carried home at 5am as I passed out and refused to get up!
I just heard from Bekki that you are in Byron Bay which I'm very excited about as I'm going there in August! I'm staying for 2 weeks so let me know what its like and what there is to do there. Enjoy yourselves, lots of love, Amy.

Hi Guys, glad you all had a good night on New Years eve where ever you were. There are more pictures on the site, and the postcard section is updated to the 31st, we ran out of time so hopefull it will be fully updated soon. Hello to Barry and Kim, ofcourse I remember you! Speak to you all laters, Jay

Sorry pressed enter a bit to quik... Well Happy New Year you two I know I am a bit late and officially I am not alowed to do this anymore but anyway all the best for 2004. I am sorry you didn't hear from me any sooner but I ve been working my pense off. So I am glad all the holidays are over and that we are back to just the friday and saturday nights that are busy in the pub. had a really good new year though nothing comparing to your fireworks which looked excellent on tele but still we all had a really good time. I will start my new job on the 15th this month which i am looking forward to. Jay it was really nice to hear from you it shocked me again and mixed me up for a little bit, It is so weird to think that you are on the other end off the world and you can just talk like you are in the other room but than again we were already used to that. i hope that your new car is taking you safely to your next destination...can t be as bad as my car were the gaspedal is attached with elasticbands...hahaha not to worry jay just winding you up. Well hope to see the pictures soon and to hear from you soon. If you feel the need to see any pictures of me and my workingbuddies and the pub I work in just look on this site: www.cafepumpke.nl and than press plakboek. Well lots and lots of love speak to you soon XXXXX

Hello everyone, sorry we have been so long in updating the site but we have been busy trudging up the coast in our rustbucket estate - a slow process!!!! We'll get some pics of the little baby on here soon for you all to laugh at!! in the last few days we have seen Koalas, Kangaroos, dolphins, dingoes and found a massive spider very close to my pants - quite worrying!!! We are off to Coffs Harbour today for a stop off on our way to Brisbane, hopefully from there we will be able to update the site. Nice to hear from you Dean, but what do you mean by s***??!!! - Neil

Hello Jay! Well everything is back to normal for all of us now, whilst you two are travelling north in your new car! We hope all is going as you planned and that you are having a good time. It was my first day back at school today and I have a student which means that she will be teaching about 4-6 hours of my lessons- yay! Free time! I might finally be able to catch up with all that marking and planning. Make the most of not thinking about work. January is crap! Liam is starting Karate lessons twice a week now and is loving it. Ryan and I are going to see Justin Timberlake on Friday in Earls Court- I can't wait. Ryan pretends he got the tickets for me and he is coming as a favour, but we all know the truth. Anyway, we now have our car back after someone drove into it as it was parked in some road. I can't tell you how pleased we are to lose 8 years no claims and pay the excess for that little incident! Take care. Speak soon. Ring us whenever. We will call you back on your mobile. xxx
