Hey Doug, Missing the messages. My day always begins checking how your doing and catching up on what is happening. Please continue now you are in NZ, need my daily fix.! I Heard on the radio on my way to work that a group has put in a bid of £3m for a stake in Southampton FC to get rid of Rupet Lowe and the rugby guy (Name escapes me at present!). Lets hope it works and saints can start producing the results. Take care mate. Jo

Hey Doug, the watch sounds great, cheers man!!!
I assume that you are going to carry on your journal while in NZ? Have just done a 40" with mario in record time! Back is killing though! Let us all know when you get to NZ as you seem to have developed a following, it seems as though everyone's days begins by checking to see if you have left a message and quite frankly if there is no message we all feel a little upset and on edge!! What I am saying is that, as Hurst said, you have to continue post holiday, we need our travel update fix!!! Speak soon. Stu ps, Saints drew at home to palace last night, never mind!!

Hey Doug, Have a wicked time in NZ at least they speak our language and you will know people. Can't wait to see some photos of your time in Thailand. Not married yet? Keep up with the messages I enjoy reading them before I start work in the morning. Missing u, take care mate.

Hi Doug

i take it when you read this you will be in thailand again, if you are just let us know you are there, as it will proberbly your last message for a few days.
Thanks for the t-shirt, its just what i need, when you get to grants, see if you can get to see bob his dad or uncle one of the two, see if he is into shipping anything to or from uk, he was always up to something. I hear that the sheep in nz are very friendly but they require you to wear wellington boots. Done 16k so far and still lots going on, so hopefully will reach the target. well catch you later.

Hey there D. Sounds like the change of location to NZ will break the trip up nicely. BY the way thanks for picking up the rolex I have been after one for years!! What does it look like, is it bling with lots of gold or it is more conservative with like a leather strap? It sounds as if you might be coming home with a load of presents for people, hope they dont stop you at customs!! I am into my last week at the council now and may be helping out mario on thur. We need you back at footy on friday man! Hey doug check out my latest website and let me knwo what you think, it is still early stages but I am hoping it will really make money www.royaltyfreetunes.co.uk

Anyway that is it for me for the mo, speak soon, Stu

Hi Doug, your dream team transfers are van der sar in goal ( he did not let any goals in), nolan of bolton ( who scored) and yakubu middlesboro ( who also scored) unforntunately the transfers dont take effect until next week. but they are three good transfers.

just done a container for metehouse about 10 plts of tiles, all doubled up and weighing a ton each, great fun and on same container 748 ctns of toothbrushes.

only another three container this week, and lots of invoicing to do.

not sold my house yet, and your next door neighbours house is up for £165,995. your house and car are fine. that it for now, catch you later

Hi Doug. I've been named & shamed so I'd better put a message up! Like many back here, checking out your adventures every day has become part of my routine. I think you're gonna have to keep up the journal even when you get back...for example: 'bought a new red car today & went to Sainsburys etc' :o)
Went to the footie with Mon at the weekend. Ipswich played pants & Saints played even more pants. We even had a decent side out...well relatively. Looking forward to the next journal installment.

Actually the money should be in Saint's bank account now. You hope it was CHAPS across on Friday!!!

I actually got up about 3.45am when I was in Los Angeles to walk down to the English pub in Santa Monica to watch Manchester United v Arsenal at 4am in the morning (noon back home) a couple of years ago.

hello my dear , have just got myself updated on your travel exploits. all sounds good and exciting. not a lot of mention of who you have meet though. i think you are very brave to have tried bamboo rafting , like you , i only like to dabble in the water.
we have just had the family round , mario was winding maddie up as usual and she just loves it. she has to be a `spring` as she loves all his `rough `n tough` games. i am trying to persuade everyone we need a nite at the dogs soon , hopefully in a few weeks time. you know how hard it is to get mario out! having heard `fake ` mentioned a few times ,would love a big fake handbag and watch ,any make ,just good price and something for spring ,what do you suggest? any way doug ,will write again soon ,keep up with that healthy eating .rice and green stuff , whatever next , your father will disown you!
p.s. by the way , i had to the office supply shopping today ,, hurry back ,

Opps pressed return after Sarah in error!

Doug the £5m in is Arsenal's bank account NOT Theo's. HA HA. Well anyway he will be paid more than Saint's £20 a week that is for sure esp when he is 17 in March.

I have a stinking fever/cold and still got out of bed at 4.35am yesterday to go to Everton where one Mr James Beattie scored to give the toffees a 1-0 victory. Not happy about that.

Sarah

Hi Doug, transfers done, keeper replaced with van de sar, ronaldo swopped with nolan (bolton), and another one which i forget.

Good to see lots of people writing to you, keep the journals coming , catch you later
