Great to speak to you this mornin. Can't believe your baby bro is 16 ( or that cerys' baby sis is 17 either ! ) Thanks for his card, & dosh .

Your travel plans sound absolutely brill, I'm very envious especially of the Barrier reef bit , and going back to Cairns. Are you going to visit Kuranda again, and do snorkelling?

Are we getting any more blogs or photos then ?

What do you mean , working hard ? 6 +1/2 hour shift - Pah ! 120 hours a week, then you can complain !

Wales has had more snow but none here , fingers crossed .

Love you both lots Love Mum

Hi Youse Twose

Eaten all the crisps yet? or the chocolate? or the jelly beans?

Blogs slowed down - we presume the silence is either due to having a good time - or just plain knackered through working for a living for a change! ;-)

hellooo cerys and sam

all well here but a bit cold on the poor paws, went away with family and mollie for christmas she is a bit cheeky but dont worry i kept her in check a few times but it got me in trouble with mum she tried to grab me at one point but i out run her easy peasy. At one point in wales i thought i was going to die the snow was out of ma depth and isank a bit too deep for my liking but was rescued by ma daddy so then i sat down and refused to walk any futher til they picked me up they couldnt resist ma big brown eyes staring up at them but ma lil bum was frozen x they also bought me a stupid red coat and mollie a lil parker coat but i was a good girl and kept it on where mollie kept takin hers off i got gravy bones for bein gud yum yum i didnt mind lookin stupid in ma coat as there was no other dogs there to see me woof woof.

Any way i need you to come home to take me the toilet as its only mum that takes me out sometimes i have to sit there with ma paws crossed its no fun

love and lots and lots of licks your lil friend

Hi you two

Love the photos of Christmas, glad to see you kept the hats on all day. Did you really get stung , cerys ? Are you supposed to wee on the sting like a weaver fish sting ? ! ? !

Glad you enjoyed your birthday , Sam. Can't believe you will be 20 in under a year ! Sent the form back to Sheffield by the way accepting your place .It's very odd that all your news & photos involve food mostly !

Nick has been to Northumberland with Aunty Jo, Uncle Rich & the 2 horrors . It snowed several inches EVERY DAY , so they sledged ( into a parked car in nick's case ! ), made snowmen, walked in a blizzard, played games & drank a lot . We drove over to fetch him & the M62 was semi blocked with snow & cars.

It has stayed really cold here, went to Ness today & the ice is 2 ins thick on the ponds. Mij goes nuts in the snow, leaping round like a puppy.Which reminds me Aunty Jane's Mollie has had 9 pups ( black or gold labs ) after being "raped" by Doylies dog next door !!

Well 'Nick is back at school tomorrow, poor thing .He got an electronic reader for Christmas & hasn't had his head out of it yet !!

Take care of each other Love you both loads Mum

YIPPEEEEE

I have been informed by the Post Office that your parcel has not been lost they managed to track it and it will be delivered tomorrow so I presume that means 30th. You will both have to put your santa hats back on and pretend it is christmas all over again! Oh and even though your birthday has been and gone make sure you treat cerys to that lovely meal! with the the contents inside your card...

Well things are now really hotting up for the New Year... it is a shame you are away you could have come with us to the WI hut at the end of the lane for a ceilidh (that is silly dancing to someone calling and telling you what to do just in case you did not know what it was, I can't imagine that you would!)

TTFN keep having lots of fun X

PS Jack informs me that he is next in the tattoo queue I can not imagine what he might have Jimmy Hendrick something or other....
