Didnt realise you had a Travel Journel on this website, Lynn told me the other day she received a text from you with the address to find you. Was very relieved to know you are safe and well. Have tried texting but it has failed many times. Would have contacted you much sooner had i known, nevertheless, You seem to be enjoying yourself which is what it is all about. Enjoyed reading your journals. I apprecaite your travels around the globe and what excitement you are having but let me tell you last week i was in DEVON!!! beat that. Finally, hope that you enjoy the rest of Oz, will continue to read your excellent adventure. Take care Love Mum x x x

Hello everyone!!

Cool to hear from you all. More photos coming as soon as we can find an internet place that will allow us to download them!!

If anyone would like to e-mail us direct our address is [email protected] - Gayle I know how all sorts of stuff goes missing when you move - hope it is going well?

Anyway - glad you got your hug Dot! Catherine and Tim - Hi and I hope you had a fabulous holiday - great to hear all your good news - have tried e-mailing you but never managed to get through - not sure why?!?

Big hugs and loads of love and sloppy kisses to eveyone from usxxx

Hi ya, sorry the emails to the hotmail address stopped arriving, I somehow managed to delete my whole contact list, clever move hey?! So, this travelling lark seems to be suiting you, still v jealous and not sure whether I can forgive you for being so lucky but hey ho!! heh heh- Your are of course missing nothing much here, BB is still nonsense and the weather is extremely hot or extremely wet it seems. Oh, I also deleted your itinerary so don't even know where you are!! keep me posted!!
Love Gayle xxxxx

Hi Caroline,
just been updating myself with your trip, back at work after 2 weeks in djerba, had a great rest, looks like you are having a great time. Got your card at work today thanks for the hug, things are a bit boring without you! luv Dot x.

Carolina! Do I like jewellery!!!!!! Whatever you have I will gladly take off your hands, you know that!! England has just lost (secretly, thank goodness) Dad is not compus mentus (as usual). Your photos are great and if you feel at all that you would like your mum to join you - just let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love xxxxxxxx

Hi Guys,
Looks like you're both having the time of your lives!!! Missing you loads but the photos seem to make up for it.
Came back from the PM Development Course in Cambridge last night - will fill you in on your return, though they are right that you feel like you've been away a month!!!!! I'm absolutely knackered and have come home with flu - hey ho, 40 degrees C in Egypt might kill it off when we fly out on Monday.
CIPD letter is purely a money begging letter, and as far as I'm concerned they can wait!!! -£80 to renew and £60 to upgrade, they're having a laugh. The good news is that the strike on at uni ended and your letter of congrats re passing all exams says that we will all graduate as CIPD members as well.

What's new...... Well:
Lynne is back on Grp 14 a week on mon, not sure where magghe is going
Tim has been offered 2 jobs and should be starting back to work when we return.
We've bought another car
I have now lost 20 pounds (not in ££ so dont't get funny!!) in the last 6 weeks.
since I've been away Tilly has become A HUGE DOG and has caught up to Buster - she's the kind of dog Pete talks about, and is completely barmy

I'll catch up soon, probably when we return in 10 days or so
Take care guys and look after yourselves
Catherine and Tim xx

Pete we were both gutted that you missed on the Banana Dakhari's . . . . . . we still keep looking dude!!!! Ha ha found some Banana brandy liquer the other day so may try to find the recipe and see if thats the stuff we need, then banana fun a plenty ha!!!!!! Got some Absinthe from the place we saw it, what a good night that night was, nearly pulled a whitey but luckily didnt. Ahhh the good old days eh felt like a teenager again.Well hope you both carry on having fun and we hope to meet up with you in St Lucia. Let us know the details and we will see what we can arrange.

All our Love

Nico & Smin =)

really enjoying your travels you both look so relaxed. not much happening here had a few days of glorious weather but now its raining again. hope your following the world cup and keeping the flag flying. caroline what happened to the bag packer experience?????????? it looks like 5 star all the way to me....... keep the pictures coming and enjoy.....mags x x x x x

Cazza and Pete

Hi you two....sorry it has taken so long but I have n't been able to get to the computer because Leah has decided the computer chair is now her home and she wont let anyone near it !!! So at last I ahve time at work to email you both. Just checked out all your pictures I am sooo jealous they look great and you both look really well....enjoy every minute of it.

Today as I look out the window at work it is pissing it down...the joy of manchester weather but on a brighter note the Take That concert was fab - Pete we will get you a ticket next time you would love the boys. There was loads of us there ...Kitty had a great time, but we did get soaked because it rained through most of the concert.

Now then I better update you on the girls...what can I say !!! It has been an absolute nightmare !!!

Only Joking - They are fine, they both do there own thing they have abit of a moan every now and again but that is it. Leah is using the cat flap and can get out when ever she wants, no litter tray using the garden which is great, eating fine she loves munchies and steals chloes when ever she can much to my amusement because I watch Chloe go back to eat them and she cant understand where they have gone - V Funny !! Dave is in heaven because at last there is a cat in the house that pays him some attention and site on his knee whenever he sits down. He may have to change his wardrobe though because he always wears black not good with the Leah hair. PS - does she ever stop molting ( is that how I spell It ). I have bought a grooming brush which she loves - but she might be bald when you get back !!
So dont worry Cazza she is fine, getting lots of love, food and attention and loves lying in the sun in the court yard - happy cat.

Anyway better get back to work...keep loading the pictures on the website...nice to see what you are up to.

Lots of Love

Lou

Hi Guys,
you both look really well, enjoying total relaxation - we could do with a bit of that...... Guess what?? .... we are.... Mum and dad and my gran were really pleased with my results and sent money to spend on a holiday, that, in addition to some consultancy work Tim has done means that we're going to Egypt on 3rdJuly for a week with 5star all the way!!!. We can't wait as it seems like a million years since going away on holiday.
Everyone is fine here - the heat has been crazy - 32 some days!!! Tim is golfing with Dave today, and I'm going to see Take That with Lou and a load of girls - I'm actually quite worryingly excited - though Jackie is going, so will leave you with your own thoughts on that one!!!!!?????!!!!!

Take care of yourselves

Catherine and Tim, and Buster and Tilly xxxxxx

my email system has gone down so I cannot receive messages at the moment - will have to get computer repaired! Mumx
