Hey chick,

I SO SO hope things are going better for you since your last blog! Have your mates had any luck with their money? ARE YOU OK? Sorry not to have been in touch over the Xmas/New year. Had computer probs, now sorted out (hopefully) !!!!!! I never know what to say here becuase what we're doing seems so insignificant ... but in a nutshell ...

Wales was snow mungus for a while, with the schools closed etc., got SO boring that Ross was going on his school website to get work to do !!! But that's over now ... hurrah! ... Jessie (terrier) had 5 puppies! Very very cute (but a bit smelly!) My kitchen is slowly being taken over by them! ...

So, we're all fine. Take care chick ! xxx

hi emma sorry i have not sent you a message for a lond time. here we have had about 5 inches deep of snow here yesterday my mum and dadcame sledging with school we also had a giant snowball fight there was about 7 year sixes on my dad he kept on pulling us round in the snow in the end i think we won. i am having a great time hope you are.

love willy workman

Sorry you are having a bad week, I agree that you will be better when you are back to school and routine. Thinking of you. xxx

I can't believe you!!! How clever making mouse traps and they actually work. All good this end, Will and Owen are having a snow day in school tomorrow, the teachers are taking them out to make igloos, snowmen and general snow fun! How lucky are they? Ant is going too as Edie is in nursery. I will probably be in work, maybe I can escape! Tomorrow night Simone is having a party with the letter D as the theme, I am thinking of Del Boy, Dracula or Donkey. I don't know. Lots of love. xxx

Happy New Year to you. What a fantastic time you are having. The photographs of the gorillas are incredible, lily and harvey can't believe you actually took those photos!! Your blogs are great, its great to see and hear about your adventures. Emma you look fantastic, you look incredibly happy, not skinny, skin tone great.........just great. Its starting snowing a couple of hours ago, quite thick already so not sure if the school will be open tomorrow. Well, love you loads & loads, keep having fun, lots of love xx (big Xs and Hugs from Harvey & Lily) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
