Ha just for people who don't know Trish is talking about the hyperactive sweets haribo which she feeds me every day and not the mind altering rave drug. Having a fab time Trish but miss your peanut butter toast in the morning. Glad Dave is fitting in hope your bulking him up and not getting him too hyper with sweets. Just remember I'm the master at drawing big yellow boxes ok. Have a good Xmas / New Year and keep in touch. Send pam a big xmas kiss from me mwahXX

Hi Junior
Have a good xmas - enjoying your exploits.Bet you are really missing your E's and Nightnurse. Mr. Sawers has fitted in really well has already designed two new products - nobody has noticed you have gone. Loved the way you got told off by mummy and daddy(no helmut) expect another one for the 'dangerous' backflips. Pam sends her love (strange but true). Thought you'd have been arrested by now. Take care. x

Hi Gareth, We are all at Auntie Judith and Uncle Phil's , reading your blog and looking at your photos. There is loads of snow here and we are all hoping we can get back home otherwise we are all kipping here! Your dad is fast asleep as usual brrrrrrrr. We went to Kim's today and it took 4 hours to get there - there is so much snow in Oldham, it looks like a winter wonderland! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and we will be thinking of you as we tuck into the turkey! Lots of love M & S xxx

HI Guys you have certainly had a wonderful experience in India packed so much into 3 weeks. The photos are amazing. Just think of us it is -6 this morning very cold and frozen ice. Just want to say have a fantastic Christmas to both of you and enjoy Thailand and all the very best for the rest of your trip for 2010. Take care and stay safe lots of love from Mum, Dad & Rachel Marston xx

Hi Gazza

Your mummy pointed out to me last night that I have not wrote on here for a while. I told her that I do email and tx u so I am not neglecting her precious son x Had a lovely evening at The Bromley's! I managed to get there alive through all the snow and the ice in my little yaris :) Your house is like a winter wonderland, thick snow and all pretty lights! I didnt want to leave. And I was lucky enough to witness the 8th wonder of the world... the christmas tree!!! Its the biggest (and fattest) tree ive ever seen! I took some photos to send to you but had to take it in 3 parts as it was so big! Auntie Marilyn gave me a copy of that pic of us having a little smooch, its gorgeous! Im going to put it in a frame x And ur dad filled my window wash up for me because I think he realises im a bit poo with looking after my car, doh! Hope u got to Thailand ok. Cant wait to chat to you soon! Miss you everyday and will miss u loads over christmas!

Love u lots, Meli xxx
