hello mate , we lost the semi final today 6-3 no st marys for me,
Saints drew today with leeds wining again. Mario getting desperate at work and has had to resort to child labour.
things sound good for u there keep enjoying yourself and catch u later

Hi Doug, like the pics, thought we may have had a few more, as for the tour you are going on, i would have thought entriped explorer like your self would have jumped at the chance of a bungi jump, we hope you have a good tour. end of month went well just over the 20k mark but with bigger profit, done vat return and they owe us about £114. next week is a little bit busier, i have had no work this week except monday and gareth couldent do monday, so he got away with it again, i am sure he called the chinese to see when there holidays were.
catch you later.

NZ sounds great. Looks like Wanganui should be a bit more interesting than Taupo. Let us know if you check out any of the sights like going up Durie Hill or going on the Waimarie Steamer. Stu's right about you being missed at Friday footie...our form is starting to resemble Saints...well maybe not quite that bad. All the best.

Hi Doug, not many messages lately from everyone here, but i am sitting here doing your job at the moment, invoicing, paying all our money out, and trying to cook the books.unloaded a container on monday for par on my own 16 tons, i am still knackered. next week i have brandon for a week and a few containers so i have some cheap labour. saints lost again last night 2-1 to plymouth, and they have got rid of about 4 players to various clubs. do you know what type of people are going with you on tour. any crumpet lately, well enjoy it whilst it lasts, because i think i will have two months off when you get back, catch you later.

Hi Doug, it is getting a bit boring reading the same message, its about time for another, let us know whats going on. Saints have been drawn away to Newcastle in the last 16 of fa cup. ( sorry Jo to nick your headline). at work we are into the Chineene's new year now, so work is very quiet, typical gareth now wants to work this week. your house and car are fine. We are off to france for the weekend in two weeks time. Dream team transfers have not taken affect yet and i am 40 points behind you with dave brown third and gareth forth just behind me. thats it catch your soon.

Hey Doug at last the next installment of your travels, just beginning to think you had dissapeared off the face of the earth, but I am glad you are there OK. Great news apart from saints winning on sat Brett Ormerod has left the club. So happy bout that! Have a great time exploring the South of NZ. Even when you are half way round the world, you are being kept up to date with the footie.

Hi Doug
good to see the journals have started again, seems everyone here is hooked on them, so keep them coming.
I hope that you are enjoying new zealand and having a good time, have you told your aunties that you are coming. i think work is quieting down a little, but maybe i will hit a big contract soon, i have heard a rumor that i am about to follow up, so who knows. will let you know about dream team later in week after all results in. catch you later.

hello , your still winning at the dreamteam but only by 40 points everyone is catching u and the transfers are opening in 3 days.
We won again yesterday 3-1 against cadnam that puts us top again and we have the semi final next week against the team who is top of div 1 and havnt lost yet they are beating teams by at leat 6 goals a game , our target is to try and get it to 3 goals. we were hopeing to get them in the finale. saints won in the fa cup yeaterday as well.
catch u later

Things are all good here with us ,just starting me week off now so will work in the warehouse next week . Catch you in nz and let you know how easy it is at the warehouse. see ya

Doug???? Where are you Doug?? We are all on tender hooks here waiting for the next installment of the Doug Spring 2006 world tour. You know this message board could double as a chat room. Hello everyone!!! Me and Hurst just played football and lost badly but my back is really hurting from thursday's 1 and 3/4 containers! We really needed your level headed midfield play and defensive expertise today. Anyway am going for a bath so I will check your journal entries later and I, like everyone else, will be expecting an update or things will not seem right with the world!!!!!!!!!
