Hello!
Rois - Big Bro started last night! It won't be the same without you! I'm already annoyed at it! I'm going to try and not watch it, but you know I will fail! Great news on the work front, that agency seems to be a good one!
Chris - Land Down Under is a CLASSIC - AND was number one when I was born - great recommendation!
Bernie, me and my three best friends from uni are doing Trailwalker for Oxfam next month, it's a 100k walk along the South Downs from Petersfield to Brighton. We start at 7am on Saturday morning and have 30 hours to complete it...including walking through the night! I'm heading off tomorrow morning for a weekend of training on the South Downs with the girls and we are hoping to walk 70k over the two days!! Just realised that my message must sound a bit crazy if you didn't know that!
Best hop it, give CMcG a massive hug from me, have a fun weekend.
Lots of muggy not quite sunny love, N x

Morning Rois!
I am sure you are so excited waiting for Claire to arrive with you later. Are you going to airport to meet her, is that far from your house? Email me your updated itinerary for your re-arranged flights for later in the year. Gaye has a contact in NZ which I will get details of. Give our love to Claire and hopefully we will chat over the weekend. XXX

Hi all! Friday 1pm here. Just got back from some temp work this morning - I had to be interviewed three times by employees training to interview. Great! It wasn't so bad, but very tiring. Anywho, the same agency have got me work next tues and wed too (monday is a bank hol here) so if they keep this up I'll be happy.
James assures me he's started to write a blog, so please sit tight - creative genious cannot be rushed! Once he's done that, I'll put photos up, and then we'll be bang up to date! Our dearest Claire returns to us tonight for two nights only so we've got a fun weekend ahead of us. I worked 9-1 today, and James is working 1-10 ... so great timing all round hey?! Lots of winter-love to you all ! xxx
Bernie
Hi Both, sent you an email. Naimh, what are you training for, I'm dying to know?! Are you and Ed up for a trip to NY in Feb half term to see the travellers on their home leg?
Niamh
Tough sum today - 5+3 - the hardest for a while!
How's things down under? After raining for 2 solid days, the sun is shining in London town - just hoping it lasts and is on the South Downs this weekend - I don't fancy training in the rain!! Quite excited about it, Charlie was teaching me how to read maps the other night (I seriously do not know how we would cope without her - she's done D of E has all these outdoor skills!!) May need to borrow your tent in July for the real thing - is that okay?
Other news has been emailed, hope the jobs are going well. Will Claire be making a blog guest at the weekend (maybe she will tell us about Singapore?!!)
Have fun, enjoy cycling
Love you x

Greetings from Cork!
Dad forwarded your messages Rois - well done on the work front, sounds great.
Must welcome Jim to the Message Board - with all that news from Carrick!!!
Had lovely sunny day here yesterday but the rain has now found me. Went for nice walk with Chia last night along the banks of the Lee. Just taking it easy today while Chia is at work and planning to go out for a meal later. Back home tomorrow (Thurs) lunchtime. I am sure you are so excited waiting for Claire to arrive with you for weekend. Can't wait to hear news of her latest adventures, she has certainly covered some miles in her few weeks away.
Tony due back from the Med on Saturday, he phoned last night. They were sailing from Ibiza to Majorca.
Will email tomorrow when I get home.
Love to you both. XX

Hi to you all great photos look like you're having a ball. In Bedworth things are not so exciting ! I will proove this by telling you what Becky was doing tonight, I went round to find that they had spent the weekend cleaning their rather large fishpond - in the process taking out loads of tadpoles which were swimming around in a bucket of dirty pondwater. Uable to put this water back in the now clean fishpond Becky had spent the previous two hours catching the tadpoles in the bucket one by one with a spoon and putting them back in the pond! You see what you're missing ! Roisin and James enjoy every minute in Oz we loved it keep the photos coming - love to all Babs and Neil.

Hello there
Mum & Dad Mcg
Hi there
Great to chat to you Roisin on Saturday while poor James was working hard. Looking forward to hearing how that worked out and how other job hunts are going. We are so glad that you are happy with house in Melbourne and seem to be settling really well. Niamh and Ed were with us until Sunday afternoon when they got the luxury of a direct train back to London from Nunny! After chatting to you on Saturday, we did bit of shopping at the Ricoh and then took N&E to Casino for a drink. Then rushed back for the "Nancy" final which was very tense. Karl joined us then for dinner.
Ashcherrelle called down yesterday to collect indian goodies from your wonderful parcel. She now has all your new contact details in Oz, so no excuses! She is off to Cov for interview today but I am sure she will update you on all news.
Off to visit Chia in Cork tomorrow morning so loads to do. Will be in touch from there. Good luck with bar training course. Hope you meet up with Eoghan. Not heard anythink from Claire for few days - must have no signal. Karl is off to Hamburg today for few days.
