Dearest Em - Queen of the Jungle!! great to catch up on your news, sorry to be so long in sending a message, but you know me and technology!! Sounds like you are having the most incredible experiences and I just know Lil would love those spiders- you better try and keep a few in a box for her! Haz is in greece and having a good time now after a shakey start - her greek phone no. is 0030 697814 7933 just in case you you have service in the jungle! Don't think she has much access to a computer. All well here although the London Bombs made us all very sad, but all friends and family o.k. thank goodness. Missing you all loads - life very dull here without you but keep yourself safe and well and look forward to seeing you in no time at all. Lots of love Cazzie ( and Hazzie) and big bobsxxx

Love you for ever and a day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxmummykinsxxxxx and daddykinsxxxxxxxx and the boysxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hey huff
dooo hope you´re ok and enjoying yourself! lovely to hear about what you´ve been getting upto , cannot BELIEVE you´ve managed to take nutella toasties to the other side of the world. genius. they´ll probably think its a weird jungle thing. do they know about making banana sandwiches by putting the banana in a piece of bread, folding it over and then slamming it with your fist (so you dont have to clean a fork?) Best trick you ever taught me... ANYway. just had kp and scoot with me for a day or so which was lovely, they´re coming back on Saturday so cant wait. Oh yeah, locked myself out of the flat yesterday and only realised when i got back from the club at 6 and had to sleep on my doorstep (next to a big bin) until my flat mates left for work at 10. never felt like such a tramp (the bin didnt help). i was woken up by someone on the street walking past shaking me to check i was alive and asking me what drugs id taken. think i must have been drooling or something in my sleep.
Anyway look forward to hearing some more stories, it all sounds fantastic. dont u dare bring any spiders back with you, you wont be coming near my flat until you´ve been in quarantine XXXXXXXXXXXX

Dearest Em, So sorry we were out when you called on Saturday , Hope you have a great weekend off duty, ring when you can - we will keep our phones on - sorry.!!!! We got your message, great to hear your voice.
Love you for ever and a day. mumxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Huffikins... everything sounds fantastic with you so far, so glad that you're having such an amazing time! The events in London were so shocking, and there were a number of security alerts in Edinburgh yesterday too (they turned out to be hoaxes but Princes St was still completely evacuated)... all very scary stuff but as Becky said, we're not gonna let them infringe on our freedom. On a happier note, I went celebrity (in particular Brad Pitt and George Clooney) spotting on George St on Wednesday (the Live 8 concert at Murrayfield was swarming with them) after Will's flat party... didn't see any unfortunately but did bump into a couple of guys called Jamie and Charlie (who is Alexina Jackson's cousin) who we met in Queenstown when we were there which was cool, felt like such an Opal bar rat when I saw them and there was all that mwah mwah kissy kissy "what are YOU doing here?!!" rubbish which makes me cringe most night's I'm in there... am I turning into one of them??? Life here continues to trundle on, and I'm getting used to working nights at Finnegans, even if it does mean I smell like a beer drip tray 99% of the time! Can't wait to have you lot up here again having a giggle, there will definately be some kind of celebration in the next few months... you keep taking care of yourself little one, lots of love xxxxxxxxxx

Hey kiddo. Sooounds like you be having a blast. So jealous.... Mainly yeah. Yesterday was a horrible horrible day. Found out straight after my lessons (in san sebastian right now) and same goes from me, hope everyone is ok, tried to text everyone I could think of, mum called loads yesterday cos mi padre was supposed to be working near Kings Cross but thank god something else came up workwise and he decided not to go. Thank god. Still waiting on a couple of people we know that live and work in liverpool street and kings cross. ANYHOOOOO on a much better note, me and scoot mcflute are going to pamplona tomorrow to run with and if all goes to plan, get trampled on by a few bulls. Awoohoo. Cool beans. See yas all laters
Adios, xKPx

Ello luv! Sorry I'm so late at jumping on the bandwaggon of writing you messages! Haven't been on the internet in a while! Very sad about what happened in London yesterday, but luckily not quite so many dead as in the September 11 attack and others. Still not a very nice thing. On a more positive note, we did get the 2012 Olympics! We'll pick ourselves up and not let these terrorist idiots get to us. Glad you're having a good time there, its sounds very nice. Lots of love, Becky xxx
