Hey you, so where are the photos of you and Adam then (read your message Mummy Stubbs) - am I missing something ha ha ha xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Evening, i am in Lake Takepo. And the colour of the lake is a fantastic blue, words cant explain and a picture doesnt do it justice. Tomoz i'm goin on a day trip to Mt Cook, the highest moutain in nz, with some gals from the magic bus and ironically who i'm in a dorm with. The two irish gals i can just about understand!! Just a quickie today, will talk more tomoz. I am now off to fight for a space in the kitchen or chill and eat much later and make my luch for tomoz. Mother you have trained me well!! Big hug and loads of kisses. Helen xxxxxxxxxxxx

In reply to Holly's note, I would just like to say that pizza and chinese were not the only reason I went to help (although it was a big push) with the decorating - there was McFlurry too!!!! Just kidding, I would have gone round to help regardless.

Hi Helena. Your photo's look fantastic and you are still looking gorgeous. I am very impressed that you went diving and fed the turtles. Can you please bring me a turtle home as they look so cute. I'm sure he will have fun splashing around in my bath. I am fine, still going to the gym and slowly losing weight (very slowly). Things at work are still good and things between me and C are still good. He is taking me to Centre Parc's in 3 weeks time. We are going for 3 nights and 4 days, I am really looking forward to it. I am still trying to sell the house. I have decorated the hallway and kitchen, well me, Evelyn, Julie, Jenna and Tasha decorated the hallway/landing. Lets just say there was more paint on us and the ceiling than there was on the walls. However, we had a good evening and I brought them all chinese and pizza (that's the only reason why Tasha came round to help). My next knee surgery date has come through for 3 weeks time so I have phoned them and said NO. I told them to contact me again next year. Not much else is happening in my life. Oh apart from I am about to become an aunty for the second time so I am excited about that. Take care and I will speak to you soon. Missing you loads. Love Holly Olly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey Helen,
Just a quick note to say how great the photos are of you and Adam. You both look very relaxed and I think
travelling is agreeing with you. Dad and I are going to Fareham on Saturday and he will look at the locks so that
he can talk to you about them when next we speak. I had an injection into my wrist last Thursday to help
the healing process and touch wood it's not too bad at the moment. Speak soon.
Luv Mum

Hello, i am in Dunedin! I had a good last day in queenstown and it just shows what a small world we are all in. On sunday i emailed 3 people who i met on Fraser island all in team B as they are in Nz at the mo. It was just a random one saying where i was what had happened to Teresa and Kate etc. Anyway, yesterday afternoon i was hanging out my towel and who was walking to the next room but Ryan and Charlie from Team B! So we spent the evening together and then we were all on the same bus today to Dunedin and spent today together. It was really good meeting up with them. And, it gets better a girl in my dorm yesterday, her parents used to live in Gosport! Ha, ha! I'm having a another mere trying to download pictures. It just aint happening! Hope everyone is fine and dandy? Love Helen xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Helen - On our walk on Saturday I came across an Interior Design company in Pier St Lee. The web site is Solent Interior Systems if you get a chance to view it. You never know !! Luv Dad.

Hello from queenstown, yes i'm safely back to earth after my skydiving adventure. I have the dvd of it a few times now and i cringe everytime! The gals left me on saturday after a hectic night out on friday in Queenstown. Saturday i went to Milford Sound which is a national park area in the south island and where parts of Lord of the rings was filmed. Rach i have some really good pictures of it as it was a beautiful clear day. The scenery was stunning and it got better and better. I also saw some seals basking on the rocks! Cute! For the last couple of days i've been chillin in Queenstown, its a bank holiday here today and so everything is quite quiet. I'm back on the bus tomoz and going to Dunedin on the east caost of the south island where i think i may do a train journey across yet some more mountains! Mmmmmm, me thinks i'm turning into ma and pa stubbs! Just to make the men jealous in my family i'm hopefully going to watch the rugby either in wellington or auckland and i really wana see the all blacks play! Bring it on! Unc, i'll send you back a souvenir!! In the whole of queenstown i cant find any blimen computer that will allow me to download my pictures of oz and the first week in nz. I am trying people! Anyway, i hope your all ok? Are the postcards being received? Love Helen xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Massive respect for lobbing yourself out of a plane at 15,000 ft!

Cracking photo hun - looking as gorgeous as ever! I would so love to do something like that (even though I'd s*** my pants proper and probably chuck on the way down)! Guts and courage (both of which you clearly have) are more than needed for things like that but hay you only live once and have got to take these opportunities as and when they arrive so well done you - very impressive and very brave. Really wish I'd been there with you to experience it but I'll have to wait to watch the DVD to feel the motion. So you are finally in New Zealand - another beautiful, adventurous place and as Ev said, you really couldn't be much further away from us all or the cold gloomy weather - roll on Spring and Summer! I don't really have any exciting news for you other than the fact that Jules and me applied to work in the lounge bars at Fratton Park - we've both been offered a few games but we've been unable to make them. Jules is working tonight but I have netball and then a darts cup match. The next home game is 11th March so I'm sure we'll both be on then - exciting but scary! Anyway enjoy any other extreme activities you have planned and keep posting them photos. Take care, Miss and Love ya, Me.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
