Melissa Ello you, Thought I would just put a little msg on here to surprise you the next time you look! Don't you wish sometimes sitting at work that you were back in the wilderness of South Africa, or on the beaches of Oz, the long roads of NZ and the night-life of Thailand. I absolutely had the time of my life, and so very proud of us for doing what we set out to do. Love you xxxxx

lou Hi Gem, Happy Halloween! I hope your still enjoying yourself but selfishly i can't wait to see you!! Have a safe trip home if i don't speak to you before. Love you loads Lou xx

As Gill said no news with the babies. Beth's is due this Friday and then Hilary is due the day you come home. I've got a couple of days off this week and then the following week off, cannot wait been ages since had some time off. No other news really, everything much the same. Girls are all ok.

Mel Hey Little s***ter!! Been back a whole week now!! I can't believe how quick its gone, almost feels like I've never been away,but not quite as still catching up with everyone that wants to know how you two are getting on!! We went out with Dan last night and I gave him your card, he was really pleased to hear from you. I haven't seen J yet but as soon as I do will pass on Mels card to him. Just been looking at the photos!! Thanks for that hunny, I am a true drunken beauty and never even knew!! You'll be pleased to hear my acno is slowly clearing up so I'm almost back to normal!!! Hope the two of you are enjoying the rest of the trip!! Wish I could have stayed and carried on with you two, my work had bets on that I wouldn't come back, but I think Thailand had, had enough of me, small doses only!! Can't wait to see you both now, make sure you get plenty of sleep before you come back cos I don't think you'll be allowed out of anyones sight for a while when you get back. Love you millions, miss you more Mel xxx
