Hi guys I am so giddy now you have booked your flights to NZ - I cant wait to see you - I will have to think of some really exciting things to do as anything normal will seem really boring to you both after having such a wonderful adventurous time so far. Maybe we could look at Bungy jumping from Sky City or Harbour Bridge climb - but you can count me out - I will be the spectator !! So glad you liked the card Linda - did you also notice the sun cream smears on the front - I found it really difficult to write the address on the envelope though - was going to put a little crabs leg in as well but Dave wouldnt let me !! I havent yet received your card but I am sure it will be here soon..hehe.maybe in time for Ems visit .hehe......Have a good xmas and I will talk to you very soon Hope you have a great Christmas Deb and you dont get snowed in......I hear the weather is pretty yuk at the moment..give my love to everyone and I will phone you soon. Merry Christmas Everyone..........lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hiya this might be cut short... I'm sitting her with chloe on my knee trying to type... Ann sends her love, and a big marmitey kiss from chloe. Chrissie thanks for the cards...... we loved the sand all over the carpet ....nice touch... Emma, enjoy Australia, thank Beckys family for having you from me.... Becky, I'm so glad you went when you did as its now chaos at Heathrow because of the fog.... I'll text Denise and Gaz later re the new baby...! will speak to you soon.... love from Mum and Ian....x

Hi, you're really whizzing along now aren't you. Singapore's brilliant isn't it. Guess what - we did get stuck on the night safari. It had rained earlier and the car couldn't get up one of the little hills so we had to sit and wait for the next car to come along and give us a push! Very scary, you really think that the animals will be able to get to you don't you. I finished school yesterday for the holidays so I'm busy getting ready for Bill & Audrey coming on Christmas Eve (well I will be when I've finished doing this) Have a great Christmas - hurry up with some more photos - I can't wait for the quiz Emma. Take care, love Debbie, Chris, Sam & Ben xxx

Hi auntie emma aka petal, You suck! Miss you lots and lots, what have you got me for Christmas? Love Chloe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello. Glad you got your birthday card sorry for the delay sent it over a month ago! And yeah the Thais dont really celebrate birthdays you were lucky i got that in Bangkok weeks before your birthday, Kat's mum got a postcard because there was actually nothing available down south so count your blessings ha ha. And just want to say congratualtions to Scott and Sam too on the birth of their baby boy Logan. Oh and sorry Kimba i missed your birthday hope Granny Wiggins looked after you and spoilt you rotten xxx

Hi Emma, I received my birthday card on Saturday morning - my first day in the house as we moved in on Friday - still not done though - can see the Thai's don't celebrate birthday's well - my card had a naked Buddha on it!!!! So you are in Aus now?! Well have fun and keep in touch - what will i do on Christmas day night without the little gathering at your house i have become accustomed to?!!!! Miss you!!!!! Have a fab Christmas away from us!

Hey just thought i say a quick hello to you both , have a good time in sydney!xxxxxxxxx

Yes it is true we visited the most Southern point of Asia well remembered Alex! Didn't take the cable car though as too big a queue but we got this sky ride thing which was like an extreme cable car. I actually feared for my life oin places (well maybe feared for my flip flops ha ha). Thanks for all the pointers guys loving your tips xxxx

Hi girls Hope you are both well and looking forward to singapore, you defo have to go sentosa island, dont quote me on this but when you over the bridge onto the island its the furthest point you can go to still be in asia(yes em be impressed!) also be brave on the cable car it is high but fun! Mum says hi and "happy christmas" Iam off christmas shopping this weekend looks like it will be in the rain as the weather is rubbish, so you make the most of the sun! Take care of each other luv al x x

Hi Em, just a quick note to say use the trains when you go to singapore - the're fantastic- very modern - cheap - quick and go to most tourist places. If you have time go to Sentosa Island where the Merlion is - it is a really nice place - Dave nearly died on the cable car as he doesn't do heights very well - so needed Jacks ipod so he could close his eyes and sing out loud all the way but due to thunder and lightening we decided to take the bus back !! Have a great time........also need to visit Raffles for a singapore sling....will need to save up though as it is pretty expensive there - One drink will be more than a weeks accomodation in thailand !! Have fun xx
