Hello you two, hope your are well and feeling better than me - i am full of cold and feel like death warmed up. Had a fab birthday (you we sadly missed), Trev took me to see Wicked, which in a word was WICKED. I did very well on presents and it was really great to speak to you, even though i probably woke up the whole sleeing train - i think i had had a little bit to drink by then!!!! The BBQ went really well and we had the most beuatiful day, again i had a little too much to drink, but feeling as bad as Aymee and Rach the next day, and they had the long journey back to Doncaster. Rachel graduated this MOnday, i was so proud of her in her cap and gown - we all went home and had a little celebration. Things have been happening none stop at the moment and mum goes in to have her second knee replaced tomorrow so i will be dashing backwards and forwards to Doncaster all week. Dad is ok, but as your Aunty says they are having trouble getting the crop in - he seems to be working every hour he can when its not raining. Have been to visit a prison today, which was an enlightening experience - we had to interview some of teh inmates, suppose it gets me out the hotel so i should be grateful. Anyway my love i think its a bath and early bed for me, in a hope to shift this cold. MIss you lots and lots. Love BEc and Trev XXXXXXXX

Been to becs today with tony to see what needs doing. she has spent most of her time catching up on washing but as we are now in the monsoon season again its difficult getting it dry. carl seems to have moved in, she doesnt like being on her own does she. i think she is a bit stressed at the mo but i am doing fine & will be glad when its wed. lukes 2 girl guinea pigs have produced 3 babies this am ! someone boobed. we went to the craft show at harrogate yesterday but it was very disappointing with hardly any stalls so wont be going again. old chrissie is in hospital after a little collapse 7& i think they are keeping her a few days to give walter a break he needs it.the weather is unbelievably bad , the farmers struggling to get the harvest in. cost of livivng goes up daily, you are in the best place. talk again soon - join us in thought at 12 our time on tues. love from us all xxx

hello there, how lovely to hear your voice elle, i have been missing you a lot this last week or so and it is great to hear you. your photos are lovely, the new camera was a good choice, or is it the photographers! the tiger looked far to big to be sitting on your lap, it could easily have eaten you. bec is very excited about her house as you can imagine, its only taken about 4 weeks to go through. we hope to get cracking with paint brushes next week - the lounge is going to be white with black and a hint of red i think.she seems to be seeing quite a lot of carl and going places, wont it be super if this is the one! monty has been great till the w-end when he suddenly started crashing about the house like a madman, throwing himself about & rubbing his head furiously. i had to call the vet at 7am & she said it was his ears. he has also got a constricted pupil in his l. eye and patch of cloudiness on his cornea . god knows what thats all about - i think he,s had enough problems dont you. my veg. garden has done quite well, we have had lett. toms, pots. carrots, beans, courgettes, marrows, leeks & red onions but a plague of caterps. destroyed the greens.sorry i mucked up with facebook, it took ages to do cos i wiped it off once. wont bother again, this is easier. will let you know when bec gets her completion day. love you tons of tons xxxx

Hey Aymee, congratulations, I'm so happy for you, you will have to celebrate again when i get back. Im so proud of you. :) I canny believe Kate now works there, we will have to take her out on the town when i get back also, get her ready for the nights out with MPH lot. How did Kate do in her exams? I bet she did well, i will look forard to hearing from you. I cant wait to see you guys when i get back. I also have my fingers crossed for you and the job front, im sure things will pick up soon. take care my lovely and keep me posted love ya xxx

hey Bec, Trev, i'm so glad Trev had a good birthday, its a shame about the theme park it would be fun to go to Alton towers or something. So Wicked is supposed to be amazing so i hope you have a fab time. Drinks will be good, you having a famous Becci BBQ also? I wish i could be there to celebrate but im sure when i get back we can have a huge party to celebrate: my bday, your bday, aymees results, kates results and your rachs results (congratulations by the way rach, well done my sweetie, big hug from me and hope you have an amazing graduation and ball). Glad that you are enjoying your new role, that would be good if you could get a permanent job. I have been thinking about possibly going in to HR (Aymee youve strated a trend) when i get back, but who knows. probably should go now but if i can i will try and call you on your bday (im not promising though) if i dont speak to you have a fab day and enjoy all your celebrations. Big big hug from me and Chris love ya xxx

HI Guys, hope you are both well. You both look very brown in your pictures, Elle that tiger looked like he wanted to eat you. YOur little hut on the beach looked so relaxing - i think i am in desperate need of a holiday soon!!!! Things are going well here - am really enjoying being a resourcign manager, it looks like i might be given the job permenantly if the lady doesn't come back. We had a really nice time on Trev's bday and discovered that i don't really like theme park rides when we went to Thorpe Park. Now we are planning my birthday and Trev is taking me to see Wicked in London which i am very excited about. I am also having a few drinks at mine on the weekend - although i don't think there will be any buckets of booze available!!! Rach passed her degree and got a 2:2, so she now graduates in 2 weeks time - must get a new dress. She is still working at MPH for the time being although has had a few interviews. Anyway i suppose i must get on with some work or something, Take care. Bec and Trev xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Guys, Your pictures look amazing. Elle you look so brown. I don't think i want to see you when you get bak in fear that you will make me look like some sort of anaemic thing. (Only joking). You look like you are having suh a good time. I have got some good news. I passed my exams and assignements. Yippee! I can see the end in sight now. The job thing is still raher slow which is very annoying but must be patient. Its GCSE results day on Thursday which means my sister is getting her results. I'm more nervous than what she is. Guess where she is working now? MPH!!! My contacts came in useful.

Anyway. I'll leave you to it. Continue having fun. Lots of love. x x x x

Hi guiys,

so glad you are both ok and having a great time. I really can't explain how jealous I am, the weather has been so awful here last few weeks :( Oh I miss Thailand so much....

Keep up the good work guys...

Love Izzy
