Hi Helen!

Thanks for your note!

Hope you're well rested by the time you get to read all your messages.

Also hope you're having lots of fun and enjoying your new environment.

Yes, we're all thinking of you here and wishing that we were having an exciting time like you. Instead, it's the "same old, same old". Can't wait to hear all about your exploits!

I shall try to look after your Mum. She's bearing up very well, considering.....

Take great care of yourself, Helen, and remember that we're all thinking about you and wishing you well.

Much love,

Sharon

Hi Helen, gooday mate!

Hi Helen,
Great to get your text message this morning. How was the flight? It's 1.00 pm on a grey Monday morning
and I am having my lunch. The girls are very interested in how things went yesterday and we are all waiting
to hear where your luggage has ended up. Did you see much of Bangkok? By the time we got home (which
was about the time that you took off) two messages had come through on your phone. One was from Lee
wishing you a good trip and the other was from Nicola (in Birmingham). She was sorry to have missed you
but her other grandfather had died suddenly and they had just returned from the funeral. Both she and her
Mum send their love and best wishes. She will e.mail you later.
I have the dentist after work this evening and later Chris and I are boy-sitting for Beth. Will be good to
have a chat - avoiding the N & S words. Will write soon. Take care. Love you. Mum and Dad x x x x x

Hi Helen

Hope you enjoyed the posh Quantas lounge. Feelling very jealous of you now. We will log on every day to see how you are doing. Lots of Luv Kim

Hi Hellie! Was great to see the pictures from Friday night, looks like you all had a fab time! Didn't think you looked too minging by the way but maybe you conveniently edited out the particularly minging ones!! I hope you have a fab time in Aus + don't have too much trouble understanding the lingo! Look out for those hunky surfer types and don't forget to put some evidence on the website!! Have fun + keep us updated so we know what you're up to :o) Loads of love, Lynds xxx

Hi Helen, the photo's of Friday night are fantastic. However, where are the ones I took at the very end of the night when you were with Andy and Andy. If I remember correctly Andy was making you dance like a freak. Well you are high in the sky now sat on your plane heading towards the sunshine. I'm stuck at work and it is freezing today. I have started my challenge that you set me, I went to the gym this morning like a good girl. I will make sure Evelyn sticks to her challenge. I hope you have a fantastic time and remember what I said to play lots with the surf men. I have a hat ready for your beach wedding (I have to look like mummy of the bride). Well I will speak to you later hunny. Lots of love Holly Olly

What a fantastic website hun, your design skills have paid off! Can't beleive you're on your way now - the time has come round so quickly and as selfish as this may sound I hope the next 5 or so months go just as quickly so you are back with us in no time. I know you don't need telling but make sure you make the most of this amazing opportunity, doing everything you possibly can - can't wait to see a pic of you "riding the waves". Glad you enjoyed your last night with all your mates - you certainly were minging and yet still so sweet - how is that possible! Hope you had a safe and pleasant journey and those from now are just as safe and pleasant. Take care of yourself and just have stacks of FUN. Hope you've remembered your suntan lotion! Going to miss you loads but can't wait for a welcome home snog.
Love ya loads, Tash.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Helen, what beautiful photos, god am I really that rough???!!! Had a great night and it was good to see some old faces from great times in the past too! Oh you were such a sweetie crying in the car up the hill, thought you were gonna be so brave! haha. Mind you i'd have been blubbing my little heart out though its not forever, yet??!! You will have an amazing time and i'm sooo impressed with this so we can see it all.
If and when you come back you know you could always go into web design!
Anyway will catch up soon, hope the journey isn't too bad and you haven't done a Holly and almost been out cold thanx to a litre of whisky falling from an overhead locker!!!! Mind you could make the journey go quicker! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hellie, how much spare time did you have to upload those photos ? Honestly, those unemployed travelling types !!!! Hope the flight was ok, not sat next to a psycho aussie you couldn't understand. Have a great first fews days mate, we'll miss ya loads. xx

I am missing you loads already and have been thinking about your and your flight tonight. Well it is 7pm so you are probably at the airport with Mum and Dad Stubbs and wanting to do a 'Grant Mitchell' right now.

Well by the time you hit oz I would have started session 1 of my mission - got a little note for Matt Reader with my mobile number on it, I am keeping him to his promise you know. Kara - you have my permission to check up on me with my mission.

I will do the favour you asked for me but just clarify which one it is you want and I will do it for you.

The next 5 months had better go fast cos I am not going back to Bravissimo without you.

love ya love me loads

Looking forward to seeing more photos being posted on here and your first e-mail of your adventure. Take care, miss you already!!! Loads a love, Juliette xxxxx
