hi guys hope all is well pics look great, nothing changed still same old down here. hope you having fun, love scott x

Good morning !!!

Hope you are both well. Just read your latest blog and caught up with all your news. Thank you very much for calling last Friday to let us know you are safe and well. Saw the news on TV about the rain in Oz.

The snow's gone at last. Driving has been a nightmare. Very frosty this morning though. It's supposed to be coming back..........!

Had a brill night at John and Sally's on Friday. Xmas tree looks lovely, carols were playing and Sally did her special ribs which is always the highlight for Pops lol. Our turn this Friday with John and Sally coming to us.

All the programmes are coming to an end again for another year. I'm a Celebrity, X.Factor ( Matt won last night ) and.......drum roll.........it's the interviews on the Apprentice this week. Great...I love this episode it's so embarrassing at times.

Supergran will be with us next week. Hopefully you will be able to Skype us and she can have a chat with you.

Had my annual day out with Grandad on Saturday to get Nan's pressie's then lunch at The Watermill in Basildon which was lovely. Yesterday we went to see Steve & Jeanette who were at Nan's for the weekend ( Xmas pressie swap ). I had my bi-annual clear out of the black hole yesterday afternoon. I chucked out so much stuff you can actually walk around in there now. How long that will last who knows. lol.

Well time for me to get going. Sending you both lots of love as always. Take care. Mum x x

Hiya,

Your sky diving pictures look brilliant, but you still wouldn't get me up there not on your nelly!

Snow has worked out to my advantage i've had three day off already lol i told them little bluebell can't handle the icey roads lol my xmas party is tonight and so far only five people are going because of the snow lol still it's free food and drink so can't complain!

Gary's just about holding up with you gone Greg but it's ok luckily he's got the best girl in the world to comfort him lol

Miss you both we got you a few little treats too so come home soon so we can give them to you

Hi again,

Typical !!! As soon as I say we have no snow.............it's everywhere.

Looks lovely from a window looking out but the driving conditions are awful. I'm at work just now. Came in with Pops this morning at 04.15am as the Astra ( yuk, yuk, yuk ) is useless in this weather and kept rolling back downhill on Essex Way yesterday. Nice thing is I'll finish at 1pm. Think I'll be back in with him again tomorrow because there's no sign of the snow slowing down. I'm looking out of the window just now and it's a blizzard out there. It took Jordan and Leanne an hour and 40 minutes to get to Basildon yesterday.

Grace's face was a picture yesterday when she saw the snow. I told her what it was and she kept saying snow but it sounded more like S.....and then no. lol.

Santa's in the hallway looking great and this year we have him holding Grandad Pals walking stick.

Well think I'd better get on with some work. Hope you are both well. Thinking of you. Lots of love. Mum x x

Hi kids - glad you are still having such a good time. As Diane said, we had a really nice time on Friday - sorry Diane about the distance you had to drive! As I speak, it is thick snow and still snowing, Josie is stuck at Lakeside for over an hour trying to get to work and Sophie has also been stuck for over an hour in traffic trying to turn round and go home! You will be pleased to know that we have been taking Milo out for a 50 minute walk everyday except today as it is difficult to walk at a pace in the snow but I have taken him over the park this morning instead and intend to go out again this afternoon. When he went to bed the first day he was snoring loudly! He still looks the same size so I might have to cut down on his food a bit more!

Look forward to hearing from you hopefully when you have settled back at the farm.

Take care,

love mum xxx

Hiya kids,

just read your latest blog and caught up with all your news. Sounds like your enjoying every minute. I've been wrapping up Christmas pressies all evening. Going to get the tree down from the loft tomorrow and dust off the old boy once again ( No not Pops I mean Santa ) lol.

Had a great night out with John and Sally on Friday night. We went to the Shepherd and Dog and it was lovely.

Weather here is cold and frosty but no real sign of any snow yet although they keep predicting it. Supergran on the other hand is stuck indoors at the moment because of the snow. She's not been out for two days now. She promises that she's got lots of supplies in but if it gets worse I'll do shopping on-line for her. We've booked Supergrans flights down for Xmas. Really looking forward to seeing her.

Pops went to Twickenham on Saturday to watch England play against South Africa. England lost but he loved every minute of it and would love to go back again. James Corden from Gavin & Stacey was sitting in front of him. Pops said the atmosphere was fantastic.

Well I'm off to bed now. Sending lots of love from us both. Take care and keep enjoying every minute.

Love Mum & Pops x x x

Hi Sopht!

Hows life in the new house? Greg wants to put a xmas tree up in our van lol! the skydive was amazing! you dont feel like your falling at all! it was so surreal! The bunjy jump was the most scariest thing iv ever done! my video is really funny, i literally wouldnt let go of the man! but it was weird cos as soon as i jumped the fear went and again it was a great feeling! the fear came straight back 2nd time round though lol! i would recommend both!

Me and Greg both really liked Cairns, we kept being told how horrible it was but when we were there the weather was great, we stayed in nice hostels, met loads of nice people!couldnt complain really! it is strange how close we were to celebrity jungle, we've seen a couple of the bugs they make them eat running around on the floor! We're in Tweed heads at the moment registering our van and then we're back to the farm to work for a couple of weeks tomorrow! the weathers great at the moment i was up a 6.30am this morning ang it was baking hot! like sunbathing weather!

we will be on skype sometimes, but make sure you send me your house number when you get it and i will call too!

Speak to you soon x x x

Hiya!

Just had a good look through your photos, brilliant!I'd love to have a go of the sky dive, not sure I've got the bottle for the bunji though!What was better?Yeah me and Jo are all moved in now, xmas tree's going up next weekend :).What did you think of Cairns?Keep thinking of you out there when I'm a celebrity's on.Its been pretty good this year, Gillian McKeith pretended to faint live on air which was pretty funny.Mum and dad have taped most of it so we can show you the best bits.

Where are you off to now?I'm at mum and dad's at the moment, we should have internet in a few weeks.Are you gonna go on Skype this time round?

p.s me and Jo have got something for you both when you get back!

Have fun xx
