Hi Guys, Hope you got to the ferry then to Bangkok ok! Take it easy, Matt & Haylee from the taxi on Koh Chang.

Hey, sorry I have fallen off the blog back wagon, not least because our lives are not nearly as interesting as yours at the min! I have just spent ages catching up on your blogs since Sydney...seriously how did I get so behind. I get sooo nostalgic reading them, wish I had some money to come see you!

I have 2 updates 1. we have a dog...we got him a few weeks ago, called Roland and is a little dude! 2. Wedding pretty much booked...this can be your save the date...23rd June 2012 at church then chester racecourse! so hey ho, getting old and responsible lol!!! Most other stuff is still the same, work is still 9-5, weekends are still not long enough, so make the most of your travels!!!! Miss you lots ...lots of love xxxxx

Know I only commented a couple of days ago but wow you have done some much stuff this week! KT the adrenaline junkie! Hope you had a teapot in Queenstown before you did Nevis! xxxxxxxx

Hello, blog back number 3!!!!!! But unfortunately I have no exciting updates for you this week. The highlight of my week has been reading your NZ blogs back to back this morning whilst trying to ignore ben shouting at me to get up and make lasagne for his mums 60th birthday party....boooo to cooking, and what an exciting life I lead! I have waved my other friend Katy off travelling this week after an epic drunken send off last weekend so have now got a serious case of the itchy travel feet.....damn work and financial security!!!!!

It is mad reading your blogs as we did so many of the same things...we also stayed at the "best hostel in NZ" lol! Seriously though I have to say NZ does have the best hostels so enjoy whilst you're there.

One slightly exciting piece of news is that Chester has decided to erect a mini london eye plus ice rink and christmas village on the castle square .... looking forward to speeding round the ice rink whilst chugging on mulled wine! lol! (more like falling over).

Missed you at our engagement drinks and missing you lots and lots, feels like you have been gone so long. Keep the blogs coming. Lots of love xxxxx

Hey!!!!! Blog back number 2...lol! I am enjoying reading baout your adventures, although does make me jealous....I was laughing out loud about your Salvador salsa lol!

Well my week commenced with a 45 minute visit to the side of the M56 when my tyre blew up after driving over some debris...I have discovered that it is not fun to sit on the side of the motorway in the freezing cold with lorries flying past you! Hmmm really need to learn how to change tyres. My fortunes seem to have changed today however, after going to a wedding fair on sunday, I found out that I won the competition prize so now have lots of free stuff for the wedding (which is notably no further on in terms of organisation!).....so I am hoping that the rest of the week will be less eventful because I already feel like it should be Friday.

Missing you sweetie lots and lots...you may notice that I have invited you to some engagement drinks...I'm not expecting you to fly home, just didn't want to leave you out :( I'll have a Jaeger for u and Jonny (know how much he loves them) Lots of love to you both, take care and keep having lots of fun and keeping us updated xxxxx

Hi both,

You sound like your having a fab time & a good group of you all together sounds great!

Things seem to be ticking along with the house. Just slooooow! Hopefully in late Nov - i've already been thinking where we'd put the xmas tree. lol.
