Soph Hey honey, Cant believe you are coming home this weekend! I cant wait to see you! Just to say, if you are free on 28th, we are trying to organise a joint visit to Emma's and my houses - good excuse for us all to get together. (as if we need one!) Enjoy your last few days of your travels Take care Lots of love Soph xxxx

Lil Sis Hey! so its your last couple of days which must feel so strange to you as you have been away for soooooo long! i cant wait to have you home again and hear all your interesting stories of your travels! Live your last days to the fullest! love you lotsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sophxxxxxxx

Roger Hi Claire - hope you are enjoying your last few days in Bangkok and having a good final blast at buying up all those shopping bargains! I think the plan is that we will pick up Sophie from your house at around 6.0am on Saturday morning - hope she is good at waking up! That should then get us to terminal 4 a bit before 7.0 so we are in position to welcome back the weary world travellers!

Soph sis! Hey hope you are well! i spoke to you the other day and you where soon to move onto ko samoui(cant spell) but i think you are there now! do tell me how is it now and if it has changed alot! hopefully it hasnt cause it was so perfect when we went there! say hi to Tash from me and i hope she is well! love you lots and lots xxxxxxxxxxSophxxxxxxxxxxxx

jimmy & tricia Very envious of your location in Ko Phi Phi- looks wonderful!!! Please look out for email sent today re Ko Samui- interesting remarks. Take care, lots of love.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Rach Hey Claireee, AsI appear to be in the office alone (a rareity or perhaps nobaody loves me today!) I thought I'd send a sneaky message update from sunny East London! Still sounds like your having lots of fun on the final leg of your journey & bargainous accomodation - more money for shopping can't be bad (sorry, I shouldn't be encouraging that sort of behaviour!) We've just enjoyed our 2nd weekend of guests to stay at hotel 'Rich-Rach' - all this entertaining business is tiring so we're having a couple of quiet nights in to recover before catching a show later in the week - probably Chicargo with Brenda from X-Factor (Rich v.much looking forward to that!). Saw Stu & Lex this weekend too (& Andy last wkend) - we're all missing you & must organise a Bretton get together once you've returned/recovered from jet lag! Keep on having fun, hi to Tash & look after each other. Lots of Love, Rachxx

Sara, Colette & Jan Hi ya....well here we are on a Friday afternoon......trying not to do a lot.....and very jealous looking at all your photo's and travel news...! Well at long last Jane's wedding is tomorrow and some of us are going to the evening do...looking forward to seeing her "first dance" as a married woman! Not sure if Ali has told you but she's off to New Zealand etc in a few weeks - she already has her countdown chart on her desk....and Kelly is off in December to Magarita Island in Venezuela. Work is the same.....same, same enough said......! We are keeping each other insane as ever. You still appear to be having lots of fun so keep those messages posted. Take care from us all at MD Kingswood...xxx

Tricia &Jimmy Hi girls, Thank goodness you are staying in such upmarket and expensive accomodation- sounds as if it wont break the bank!!! All you need now is a little bit of sunshine/Its actually very nice here at the moment- Sept is turning out to be better than Aug. Heading to Donegal this weekend with the Ellisons and Tintons- should be fun !! Look after youreselves. Lots of love, MUM XXXXXXXXXXX

sue lilley Hi Claire, Glad you are safe and well was amused by your photo of the white bearded man on the bench he looked like Captain Birdseye and Grandad from Del Boy!! Glad you are both re energised and off again. Just think two months of sun sand and sightseeing to look forward to SE Asia!! Take care Love Sue xxx

Rach Hey Claireee, Just thought I'd post you a message as haven't used this board yet & my emails always seem to be v.long & you're probably getting loads from everyone too! Can't believe you're now on the other side of the world - don't worry about the weather as we seem to be experiencing slightly colder climets than the past few weeks here too - I'm actually back in skinny jeans as opposed to skits/dresses! Sounds like you're both still enjoying the globe-trotting experiencing & it's really making me want to join in too! Hope your travels continue to be fantastically fun. Look after yourselves, missing you. Lots of love, RachxXx PS. I become a real Londoner in 2 weeks as moving in day is 14/08/06 so you will have to come stay on your return!
