Cousin Rob Right here is your quote, drum roll please......"Nobody is stronger, nobody is weaker than someone who came back.There is nothing you can do to such a person because whatever you could do is less than what has already been done to them." --Elie Wiesel (well they always make sense to me anyway) x

Cousin Rob Hellooooooo, I know it has been a while since i last posted something but thought i'd should do it now having just got back from cyprus and feel a little more sane. I would tell you how lovely cyprus is but i reckon from looking at your photos and postcards that you would probably just yawn and go back to washing your hair. The photos are looking real good now, almost as good as mine (don't worry i'll give you some pointers when you get home). I wonder if you have stopped to think whether you have changed yet or just how much your perspective on life has changed. I guess any day to day problems we might have at home, that you will experience on your return, will be proritsed and filed in the ' I don't care, life is too big for these puny worries, now go away and leave me alone ' bin. Well my next intention this year is to do my open water scuba course in Cyprus and begin checking out some new sights underwater. I have to admit i have been bitten by the bug and in retrospect would have liked to try my hand at marine biology if only to get to go to other parts of the world to dive. You will have to reccommend some good dive spots to me when you are back. Any way unfortunately i don't have any quotes in mind at the mo but give me a couple of hours and i'll think of one. All the best little cous and take all the care (you are probably safer over there than you are back here at the mo anyway.) Laters, Robster x x.

nan chapman Hi Jen, guess who is sitting next to me, your dear nan who has been staying with us a couple of days for Uncle Bob`s birthday. Hi Jen (from your nan).

Annie Hello girlies, just been checking out what you have been up to and decided to brighten the message board up with an entry as its starting to look abit bare. You will be pleased to hear that i am fine and have made friends with some really nice people from the bus. Not really any nice men but that hasnt seemed to stop me though (kissed 2 already). How expensive is it here. Trying to work out what i can and cant do, you both have to try and do the glacier, 3 days on and im still sore, but it really is worth it. Goodbye for now, off to watch some friends do a bungy (again) and i am quite tempted to give it a go. Will let you know what happens. xxxxx

Little Sis Hiya Girls! Just had a look at your new photos, they are brilliant. I especially like the ones of the Whitsundays beach, one of them will make a fab background for my desktop! Just thought I'd send you a little message to update you on Southampton life...My exam is today at half one so just finishing off some revision for that, a bit more confident this year than I was about my exam last year! I'm meant to be going out for a dinner date tonight with Mike! Tomorrow I will meet mum and dad in town and go shopping with them then we will go out for dinner. On thursday we are going to the Isle of Wight so hopefully the weather will be quite nice! Friday I am extremely excited about because it is our hawaiin themed bbq house party, loads of people are coming (Alice is coming down from Cambridge) it will be fantastic! Then obviously I will be leaving for Gran Canaria on Saturday...What a busy week I have planned hey?! I will e-mail you on Saturday morning to let you know how this week goes. Lots of love to all three of you xxx

Little Sis Hey there again girlz! I'm making sure that I still keep looking at your website to see if there are any new messages or photos, but there hasn't been much this week so I'm guessing your just having too much fun! I hope that your trips have been good Jen, you'll have to send me a detailed e-mail when you get back from your adventures!! News from Southampton...not good for football as Southampton were relegated, there were a lot of very drunk and unhappy southamptoners around...2-1 win for Man Utd just in case you didn't know. As for me...I've finished all of my assignments now and only have 2 exams left, one on May 24th and another on May 31st then I will be finished and we'll have to wait to see how I've done! Social news...It is the summer ball on Friday so everyone is very excited, got to get all dressed up! We are having a house party on June 3rd (the day before I go to Gran Canaria) it is going to be a hawaiin themed barbeque as we are all going to be out in the garden we are hoping for a nice hot day! That's about it from me, I'll send you an e-mail soon Jen! Love you lots, speak soon xxx

Duncan Ferguson och aye, i would just like to take this opportunity to say hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. ha. ps: apologies, but it may be another 10 years before i get another chance to gloat!

Little Sis Hello little ones. The travelling is obviously getting better and better, the pics are fab! An update on English news for you...I've just spent the most boring hour watching some of the London Marathon, Man Utd are playing Newcastle this afternoon, they are now 3 points behind Arsenal in the Premiership, uhoh! As for news from Southampton, I've been having the craziest week, lots of drinking, clubbing and hangovers. Going to the Sports Awards at Ikon tomorrow, gives me and Amy a chance to wear our dresses, can't wait, will have to send you some pics of our crazy nights out! Would be nice to get an e-mail from my big sis soon, keep on having a good time and I will update you guys again in the near future. Love you lots xxx

I hope you are having a wonderful time silly to say as im sure you are... enjoy all your freedom as working is really dull. let me know what you have been up to so i can turn green with envy and dont forget to work on those tans!!! lou x

nan chapman Hi Jen, Thank you very much for those lovely postcards and whilst staying with Auntie Chris and Uncle Rob I have been looking at all your photos and can see that you are enjoying yourself. You lucky girl! Keep it up . You look really lovely with your new neighbours!!! Take care , love you lots, Nanxx

jane how do again ladies, how splendid things look in oz, r mike's off there in a couple of weeks, u may bump into him as british people tend to sniff each other out when on foreign soil. he also reckons u've got the name wrong of that pub u mentioned in ur photies but then he's probably just being a spac so id ignore! nowt new to report, me and suze went to see the zutons and had a jolly old time, suze was gonna stage dive but i persuaded her not to, her hip's just not what it used to be. oh and my line manager accused me of having a drink problem, not that that should concern u both but ive been mouthing off to anyone who will listen. well thats about it for now, i wish i had an interesting quote a la cousin rob but i dont. erm, "an eye for an eye will make the whole world go blind". you can thank mr ghandi for that slice of insight! hope all is well and u continue to have a ball, look forward to hearing more japes soon!xxxxxx

cousin rob Hello me again. I have to agree with your sis that you are a very proficient photographer. I always have a little peep at the photos section that you download and pick my favorite to use as my desktop background for the next week. Sad really though it's interesting to think what is going through your mind as i look at the picture. Is time going too fast for you over there? Does it all seem like a blur and each picture taken, that second, is it the amount of time you have to stop, stare and appreciate? No i'm going too deep so with that in mind, "Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. " Hurrah. Robster x.

Little Sis Heya girlies. The new photos from Australia are amazing, you are getting to be a great photographer Jen! Even more men seem to be getting in the photos, I'm impressed! Southampton is amazing fun at the moment, the weather is gorgeous, it's been really sunny, me Amy and Nic went to Bournemouth beach today, we had lunch by the beach and went walking along the promenade...having the car is great for random road trips! Me and Emma have just got a brill deal on two tickets for Alton Towers, two for £25!! We have to go before the 30th of June but thats kewl! Our holiday to Gran Canaria is all booked, I can't wait until the 4th of June!!! I'm taking Amy and Emma home with me this weekend, we are going to Boogie on Friday night and then I'm taking them bowling and to Frankie and Benny's for dinner on Saturday, possibly even the cinema aswell to see Hitch! That's all the goss from Southampton. Keep on having a brill time, just remember that I love you and miss you loads!! Hugs and kisses xxxxx
