Coooooeeeeeeee are you still picking up your messages? It´s getting cold over here now so jumpers are a must. Tony is back at Uni now and living in a house with 4 friends. Think it´s going well although he probably would like a cleaner!!! Francesca is going over to Loughborough this weekend to see a friend of hers and hopes to meet up with Tony. Greg still hates his job but can´t afford to pack it in. Hope things are going well for you out there - we are all so impressed with how you´ve coped with it all. We are looking forward to seeing you and hope it won´t be long now. Love you lots. Clare xx

Hi Josh Well you will be off to NewZealand tomorrow bet you cant wait for a good bit of snowboarding to start, glad all your gear arrived thats a relief i can tell you !!.

I hope the weather over there has produced a good amount of snow otherwise it would be dissapointing for all of you, from what i can gather its looking pretty good , so fingers crossed for a bit of work coming your way or at least just enough to keep your head above water, cos thats all it needs.

Took Ben to the hospital today , he has to keep his hand cast on as he still does'nt have full use of his thumb, but not all the time, i think he is milking it really so that he does'nt have to go to work in Scoobies .......cheeky little devil lol!!

Rubbish weather today after such a beautiful few days, so i expect thats our summer over with as usual, i certinly hope not.

Uncl Ant & auntie Chrissy had a nasty shock on their way home from G&G's Abbie phoned to tell them that little William had been to his dads for a night or two & had fallen in a bath of scalding hot water , he has 9% burns to his legs & at the moment is in hospital & poor Abbs has had her tonsils out so she too is feeling rubbish, not nice for either of them, i will keep you posted.

Anyway Tori has just turned up so will write again later , hope you are ok .

Miss you loads lots of love mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good Luck with finding a job. Andy and I are out in Majorca at the moment chilling out. Unfortunately the weather has changed over the last couple of days and it is a bit chilly! Everyone seems to be moving out round here so very quiet and a bit strange compared with Brentwood. Fortunately we can get english telly over here so we are up- to- date with all our favourite programmes. Not looking forward to cleaning the house when I get back. Tony is being very sensible and vanishing for the weekend!! Take care. C xx

Hi Josh, How´s it going down under? Would love to see Sydney and the opera house. We are all ok here in Brentwood although it has been pretty hectic with Tony´s birthday party last Saturday night. Francesca drove over at 6pm (first time driving on the motorway) hoping to have some time with Tony before going to the nightclub up in Brentwood. It was a bit of a surprise to find a whole load of Greg´s friends watching the Spurs v Man U match in the front room. Poor girl! They were all a bit excited as the game was full of goals and the beers were going down far too easily! I cooked a curry and went out with Andy and left them to it. At 10pm they headed off to the nightclub and didn´t come back till 3.30. Sunday morning we had nine extra bodies for breakfast. Lovely and sunny so we were all outside even though Tony was feeling the worse for wear. Pity you weren´t in the country though but it sounds like you are having a party every day of the week. Gather you have to start working soon. Wish you luck with that. How do the beaches compare with Cornwall? Take care and stay safe. We love you lots and look forward to catching up with you. Love Clare xx
