Hey Jess,

glad to hear your feeling better and doing well. Hopefully we will be getting the internet soon at home so Nat can keep in touch as i know she misses you. The pictures of hyde park look quite spectacular. France would be amazing although i am told that you have already been there and still rave about the croissants.

Take care.

Hey Charlton baby!
see, I have been reading your journal. I was just a little slow on the technology. Sorry to hear you have been sick love. I have had so much study and uninteresting stuff to do lately, its ridiculous! :) all is good though
Take care. love Gules xx

Hi Jessica. I've just been reading all your news. Will see your Mum & Dad first week in June when we visit Adelaide. Keep enjoying yourself. No real news of much excitment here. I'll try & keep a watch over what you're doing on a regular basis. Lots Love Chris

I have just been reorganising my clothes which have been in various wardrobes while we painted our room, this has been quite a process! I found some pants I made some time ago, waisted ones ~ I know waisted clothes are coming back in, but not these ones, it was time for them to go! I now have all my clothes back in my wardrobe thankfully making decision making in the morning about what to wear much easier! I found some clothes of yours downstairs, not sure if you want them chucked out, cream coat and some jeans, let me know. Tilli has been nominated on BB this week, lets hope she gets voted out. Mado is on her travels now on the other side on Canada, and is now on the downhill run before she comes home. Hope you are well, looking forward to reading your next message. love you lots , Ma x x x x

Haven't heard from you for a while. Back at school here and almost back to normal. Bedroom renovation finished and we will move back in tomorrow. Showdown is on Saturday night and the Crows should belt the Power but you never know those pesky powerboys when they play the Crows! Will message you the result.

Hi Jess, Your travels look great, your mum sent me the web link. We are all fine, kids are good sometimes. We just had a week's holiday at victor which was great. Miss you, love Matt, Sam, Charlotte and Lachie.

Hey Jess! Sorry it has been a while since my last posting. I got addicted and then forgot all about it, whoops. Oh hang on, stupid meeting! Back as you can tell I am at work. Your journal entries have been very entertaining. So Laura (your boss?) is Eliza Frasers cousin? Really? Weird. Anyway. Stuff happening Alistair and I flew to Melbourne Friday and came home Tuesday. Went out to dinner lots, saw soooo many of his friends, went out for lots of drinks and generally saw the sights of Melbourne. Stayed with his brother who lives just off Lygon st (I know I told you Brunswick St Pa!). Went to Hawthorne vs Carlton (whooow not, but still awesome to see a live AFL game) Friday night. There were 45000 people there, it was amazing the noise they made because it echoed with the roof closed. Work is good, pretty busy, but a lot of training coming up. Alistair and I are house sitting his cousins place for the next few days I think. Um not much else happening. Went camping for Easter, not sure if I told you that or not, which was fun. Nice to get away by our selves. That is about it. Let me know about the computer. Look after yourself, and dont work too hard!

so i only just found the 'post a message' button...and my email has been broken, long story, but the uni webmail service is completely falling apart for all engineering. But dont worry i know exactly what you have been doing and i have been reading all of your entries and looking at all of your photos!! It all looks so quaint! I absolutely love your room and house! You are doing such a fab job being all independent and adult like!! Very impressive!! Miss you heaps jess babe, dont you forget about us all down here in aussie land! Kelly, Caty and I just went out to dinner at this little italian place and i am still so full. We had pasta and ofcourse kelly had to order garlic bread, she wanted to get two serves but i thought that was being a little greedy. We also had desert but kelly couldnt have the tiramisu cause it had eggs in it..hehe. Kel had to ask if it had eggs in it herself cause you arent here to ask for her. She really is "growing up so fast"...Love mo xoxo.

Jess - this site is amazing... didn't know you were such a computer nerd! I love hearing all your news and seeing photos makes me feel like you're just around the corner. I guess you will be in 3 months time. Keep me updated on the celebrity sightings... you must find Robbie! I'll be in touch after the wedding where I hopefully OD on nutri-grain!!! xxx

First things first... father you are a PILL! So news of the week is tilli in big bro as you would have heard... cha whateva! I have complete confidence that she'll make a fool of herself so we can all relax :) not much is happening here. I leave in a week to go visit Jon in Peterborough which is near toronto. Toronto is a 4 hour flight from calgary which is 2 hours on a bus from here! So back on the travelling road. I havent even thought about packing. I have so much stuff to pack away, i now have 2 suitcases and will need to buy a ski bag! SO much luggage! So I'm leaving on the 1st of May to see Jon and then meeting up with rach on the 5th in Montreal. We then go to Ottowa on the 7th and meet up with Jon and his friend. Should be fun but it will be very sad to say goodbye. I'm glad i have thailand and some sun to look forward to! Alicia, her parents and her boyfriend are coming here in about 5 days! Crazy! She'll be here for 3 days right as the mountain closes for the season. Will be interesting to see her again, i think a 3 day alicia dose wont be too bad (i hope) It's good to hear that you're fully settled in there. You sound right at home! Met any cute boys yet? I met Craig David in London so ha.(by met yes i do mean saw briefly walking down the street) Work is very very slow. Today we had 4 customers all day! Which was lucky because i was incredibly hungover so i was able to sleep on the floor of the shop and get paid to do it! yay! ok so thats about enough for now, will keep in touch. Love you lots xxx

Hi again - I forgot to tell you that I went to Nicole's wedding (the girls I sew with) -just the service, the week before Easter. I had to see it all for for myself after hearing all about the preparations during sewing lessons. I was standing outside the church waiting for the right time to go in and Sandi Elia came up and said hello. I ended up sitting with her and Andrew and his dad is the service which was nice so I didn't feel too much of a loner. Nicole's grandpa and Andrew's dad grew up together! It was good to catch up with Sandi and Lex's news (hi Lex!)
As Pa said we saw Tilli last night on BB - what a worry! ~ Debbie and I were msg during the show in total disbelief I just hope she gets voted off early!
Just read your latest journal entry I love reading them and keeping up with your news. I print them every now and then and give them to the Grannies to read. I am also having some of your photos printed so I can show them those too.
I sawe Kathy Quinton in Burnside on Saturday and she told me that Michael is living in London working out of the Australian Embassy organising some alumni thing. He organises reunions for expats ~ sounds okay~ so she gave me his email - you might like to contact him - [email protected].
Take care and lots of love x x x

Why hello! I only just realised this message board was here. Clearly i am not the technologically savvy person i thought i was.. or perhaps i am simply blind!
Hello Mr and Mrs C! I also saw Tilli last night, quite odd that I recognised her. Oh dear, why, oh why do people want to go on that show!?
Hmm whats news in Sydney... it's Mercedes Fashion Week this week (starting Wednesday) so that'll be fun. I'm seeing Alannah Hill, Bettina Liano, One Teaspoon and White Suede so i'll keep you posted with which ones were decent. Because of fashion week it's really quiet, no launches on or anything, so i'll get plenty of work done! (ha, actually i have plans to feng shui my desk)
Oh! Also i got your text last night, but for some reason it didn't all come through - my phones not working very well at the moment.. did you say you served Jemma Kidd??
lots of love lex xoxoxox
