Glad to hear you having fun in Melbourne, you seem to have done so much is such a short space.

I have had virgin tv fitted today and I have carpet fitters returning tonight to fit carpet in front room...does it get any more rock n roll than this (retorical quest)!

How do you feel having famous parents?!

Enjoy Christmas Eve celebrations ... by time I;m back on line you'll have enjoyed your day! Half day tomorrow, can't wait,

Love Mandy x

Hi both. Melbourne sounds lovely. All your rellies are following your trip. Uncle John said it brings back many happy memories for them both. Also, auntie Pat is still doing well. Lorna copied me in on your email. Hope you manage to meet up with Derek or Gary. Though I know you haven't met Gary. Dad is on hol today, ok for some! We watched GMTV this morning - Sydney live! Perth tomoz. Had a tear or 3 in my eye thinking of you out there. Looking forward to some more pics when you can and to speaking to you soon. Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi all, we are in Melbourne and fell in love with the place instantly!! Very european and very relaxed. Went for a meal last night over looking the Yarra river - so picturesque! There's buskers everywhere singing and it has a lovely feel about the place. Live music nearly everywhere and bars and restaurants a lot more available than Perth. Weather good. We've had a stroll round today and saw all the shops. Feeling really christmassy now, there's lots of workers having their last meals for christmas. We're in the travelodge for last night and tonight and then to the Langham for 3 nights - its over the road!!!!! Looks lovely. Have great views and cant sing enough praises about the place - within our 1st 5 mins I was in love with it!!!! Going to catch up with Dave Aherne who I went to school with as he lives here - and Lorna has been in touch about meeting up with Derek in Sydney! Heidi is in Syndey also but I think our dates clash......anyway, struggling to put Perth photos on so bear with me. Lots of love and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! Miss everyone xxxxxxxx Love to all xxxxxx

Hello Glad to hear that you enjoyed Perth and that you managed to see Rose.Hope that she was well. We are getting ready to come down to the Midlands tomorrow and told the cats that we are all going on holiday! The kittens have really settled down well now, having taken to sitting on all the chairs and being quite affectionate with us. The weather here has been warm but is due to turn colder towards the weekend. Wish we were with you! xxx

Hi everyone. We are just in Sydney airport waiting for our connecting flight to Melbourne. Lots of shops but we're just desperate to get out of here! Had good last day in Perth, spent the day at Scarborough beach - we're both a little burnt and we used factor 30, so wouldnt dare use anything below. Think the wind had a lot to do with it, plus point, the waves were incredible!!! Such fun!!!! Will catch up soon and put the Perth photo's on here xxxxxxxxxxxx
