Hi from pradise ...we had a rain storm in the early hours , this morning ( wednesday) it is very hot in pardise.... I went to our tree and picked some banana's for breakfast they are sooo sweet, our hut is very comfortable we have air con. which we have on all the time we are in it. Hans and Lottie could not do the snorkel trip today as there was'nt enough people, so we took a double kyake and went to sea...the sea is just so clear, lots of sea cucumbers....Maureen do you remember Arther Mallards advert Whooosh cucumber rumber!!!! Whooosh !!
Anyway back to the Kyake ...it was great fun, George was paddling away...it gets very tiring ...so picture me and Aggie laying across the boat ...Hans was paddling for all he is worth,he looked back to see how I was doing!! That when he saw me sun bathing ( I got a great colour) He said : now you know why I would never get a tandum out with you; I dont Peddle or paddle he he ( lol) We got back to Shangri- la and read our books and had a swim in the pool. Today is now Thursday so we came into town on the bus it 's a good ride get to see loads, we have showers most morning and it while we are getting up. Hi Paul nice to hear from you ..it must have taken ages to read every thing thats been written, it seem we have been away for months and its only been 2 weeks...While you at our home try to get some order, poor Debra can you try and get her back, it's proberly done her good to have a break. if our Maureen wants to come around tell her Mama says no ...her hut is up the road... will sign out now lots of luv to all Mama and Papa Hass xxxx

Hi mum, Dad, freinds & family lovely to see your having a great time, web site is excellent!! took me ages to catch up with everyones messages "due to the computer being demoted for the lounge to make way for the christmas decorations" so just got back on line! loverly to speak to you the other day mum and hear that you are really enjoying your time together
Getting back to the computer being slung out of the lounge me & Alison had a mega fight and she has slung me out, so as Jamie has already sent me a key to your house,could i stay at your house until i find somewhere else to go?
I have tried to phone Deb but micheal keeps saying she not living there many more" whats all that about" I think this will work out great as you can phone me on your home phone number "cool hu" but if it is engaged keep trying mum, because i am never on them preimum rate phone numbers for than 10 minutes at a time.
Have at great time and cant wait to talk to for your house, Dad can i wear your best blue dressing gown & can i have some of that Port you bought in Portugal when i was 3 years old.

Love you both

enjoy! enjoy! enjoy!

Love little Paul

Caalll me bubbles darling!!! Mum, Dad they have put me this place I think its called Warley they have given me this special thing to wear its got no arms and lots of strapes I'm so glad that the stig from the shed followed me because he has managed to sneek me out I think he put on one of the white doctors coats and he blended in so know one took any notice.
How did this happen..... it was like magic just sitting drinking my mothers medicine sniffing the cardie and crash ..bang .. wallop.. the police arrive there had been a revolt in the waterpark thusan was in the freestyle doing really well and katie was on life guard duty and some other member had complained about the lack of equipment particularly snorkling and that was it arms legs and bodies everywhere!!!!
I dont know why they took me maybe it was the rocking motion.... wearing your nightie and slippers.... sniffing the cardie.... the bottle of CC in my hand... and me mumbling mama/papa gone that made them think there was a problem!!! nothing out of the ordinary.Oh... did you make a note of the mileage on the car??? Michael seems to have taken a shine to driven a convertable!!!
it was great to talk to you the w/end and it sounds like paradise walking out of your hut and down to the beach (thats just what I think when they unlock the shed and let me go in the garden) hope your recharging your batteries and enjoying the sunshine. Christmas decs are up now, went up to Regents Street on Monday and did a bit of shopping (Michael was working in Picadilliy so went up with him in the works vechicle).Just going to get hayley and Sam up so I'll finish off now. Dad it was great to read your message hope your hair has started to grow back love to you both big hugs Debraxx

Hi every one we arrived yesterday on Rarotonga ...we have a lovely hut about 50 met. from the beach the sea is blue the sky beautiful, we arrived around 6.30am on Monday 06/12 04I was very tired after the long flight, so off to bed with Mama. Dad went walk about to explore the island ...it is 20 miles long. It is wonderful sooooo we just chilled out !! after a while we walked along the beach and had dinner, this morning we were woken up by birds singing , and cockrells crowing at 6.30am we made breakfast and I went walking, also took my snorkling gear with me. George stayed by the hut, when I got back he was out,canoeing looking for me ,he must think I'm good he was miles out to sea. I also had ago but was getting stuck on the reef ( I had Aggie with me) it was fun !! we took photo's. We then came into town and found this internet cafe, had a nice lunch 2 glasses of wine and whalla I'm here I am with you all. Tomorrow we are going snorkling on a glass bottom boat getting off to snorkle of course, then a BBQ on an Island of Rarotonga.
We are going to have a walk around town when I am finished with you lot. Now Susan and K.T can you start looking after Debra... I also want to know Who the long headed bearded bloke is...cause Ive got one of them with me.He treats me well so I'm not going to find the fellow I came with !!! Dad said not to worry Deb about the CC there is 20 more cases in the loft, I'm thinking of getting Sid and Nell to come in and chuck you all out..so start behaving. Pat !!! it is so hot here we hope you can find some warmth ? in New York hope your enjoying your time there. Hi Nicky and Lin our next stop is at Shelley and Ed's we are looking forward to seeing them, also to seeing you Lin and Mo when you arrive after christmas.but for now we just having a ball in Rarotonga with 3 more full days ahead of us. WE have a banana tree right out side our door with a big bunch just waiting to be picked. I keep taking photo's we are hoping Ed will be able to help me to down load them to our site...I just luv this site its realy great. sighning off now lots of luv to you all ...keep in touch keep making us laugh ...Hi Gamie ( Jamie) you Ok . Hows Paul ??are you feeling better ?? get on the web its wonderful. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi pat glad you have arrived safely in CHILLI New York I bet you had forgotten what the cold was like!! When i spoke to M & D at the weekend you had gone on the tour in L A it sounds as if the three of you have had a ball together and that you've been laughing morning noon and night!! The messages have been good fun and as you can see from the site that crazy thread runs through the family. I think you might have to invest in some incontinence pads for the next leg of your trip.
Enjoy your time in NY hope you get to do all the sites, it must be really christmasy over there that might be one consolation for the cold weather.
Take care have a great Christmas with all the Class family and we will catch up again soon
Love Debra xxx

Firstly Hi Kathy and George, arrived safe and sound in New York, it's cold,and hasn't stopped raining, hasn't stopped me getting around though, been to Times Sqare[amazing] kept tripping over trying to see the tops of the buildings, They are huuuuge, as you know !! Miss you both, have a wonderful time in Ratatonga, a nice rest, because when you get to Aussie you wont know what's hit you !!ha ha ha , tell George to get plenty of sleep, he wont get much there, I can just imagine the pair of you in Ratatonga, just have to imagine the figure in the foyer of Marine Del Rey ???? ha ha ha
Hi to all who have been wring, you are making us have a real good belly laugh, It's been good fun. Katie, you sound so much like your Mum, I never thought there could be two Kathleens,but God forbid there is. ha ha ha
Susan, it seems forever since I last saw you, as it is all of you , you don't sound any different either, the saga of the waterbed, has kept us all going we had such a laugh !! Congrats on becoming a Grandmother !!!! Can't imagine that, your kids were only small when I last saw you !! Poor Debs trying to conrol you all, a thankless task.Hopefully one day we will all meet up again, we had a lot of fun.
Love to all my 'other 'family in England. will stay in touch xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi there muma and Pupa on to a new destination where the sun will be sunning Aggies bum no no Aggie's bum she's not allowed to play is she bad aggie, is she with you muma you can tell me I wont tell any one promise ..........Well can you believe that someone has finally admitted that they have a second self or shall
I say a very close friend or another way of putting it an ALTER EGO..............could it be monkey in the garage with Debra drinking the CC with a beard or could it be someone who use to have a blonde strip int he fringe of her hair you guesed it tis STHUSAN finally she admits that she has not been to the beauty parlor lately or ever..............There she is one day being bossy sthusan with your slippers on (don't believe her when she says she doesn't)then the next minute flip, bang, winkle, the bearded man lady has arrived making rude noises and grunts doing relay races and playing scrabble in the garage with poorrr debs as we now know her as debs who lives in the shed ...honestly mum she is fine ......... well .................much better when she is sniffing your cardy any way the bearded yea,but,no,but,shehe is entertaining her when she is in need of comfort havent seen Michael B for ages last time I saw him he was aving it large in a blue convertable with gary and his mates of up the golf range pppor debs doesn,t know about that............. but Michael looked happy ......anyway, back to the water park think you are going to need some new headphones as Gaymie has glued your ones to his head listening to Il divo or something .think it's probably best just to leave him he looks happy enough so as you can see all is well here. Love you both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi you two, glad to hear your enjoying yourselfs despite the weather. Glad Aggie's gone away, make sure she stays away! Told you Debra was going to miss you, but we didnt realise how much. ( Cant Believe she cuddles your jumper!!!!!) Spoke to Shelley this morning, they are counting the days!!! Enjoy cook islands. Lots of Love Lin and Nicky.

Hello K&G - hopefully by the time you read this you will be enjoying the hot sunshine of warmer climes where you can linger longer in Rarotonga. The water bed saga is really getting well out of hand. Poor Debra, we think we may have to have her sectioned or at least put in contact with AA until you return - she's missing you badly and goes to bed with one of your old cardigans to sniff for comfort. It seems to be doing the trick cos she's asleep in next to no time ....or it might be the CC (which is Canadian Club for all you teetotallers out there - a.k.a mama's medicine). Your CC supplies are dwindling away rapidly Kathleen - theres only 17 cases left in the garage which is where Scary bloke with long hair and beard and Debra spend their time when not in relay races - I wonder why? He's even wearing your nighties and slippers..looks quite cute actually,,,until him and Debra start doing 'Knees up muvver brown' when they come out of the garage - shameless they are. Liar Liar Thongs on fire Katie is telling lies again - I'm not wearing your nightie and slippers!! She's probably getting me mixed up with Scary bloke. Its just that i've been so busy lately, not had time to do my waxing, plucking etc. So shu'up big gob tell tale Kate!! you wait.............I'm a lady........

Susan what great photo's of your grand children...I went on my e-mail and there they all were ,how nice we can do all this. Archie looks lovely....and Holly is the imange of Elliot. we wish them all lots of luv xxxx you to xxxxxx
