Any road I say how are t`things going ah say going..... ok serious. It was lovely to talk to both of you new years eve (your new years day) I think thomas might have celebrated a tad more than kim. But the years of induction I installed into Kim on how to hold composure when your rat assed is paying off...!!! Well wot`s next on your to do list lets re-cap, first off there was a 8 month world trip, in no particular order, sky diving, white water rafting, bungee jumping, xmas down under, and who can forget Tom tucking into muffy the guinea pig for his tea.....!! So all in all pretty much the same as were doing home here.... yeah rite! so keep on having a fantastic time my T-shirt collection (one from every country you`ve visited) must be building up now.

Look after each other love Super Unk xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Guys just been catching up with the lastest. It's hard to imagine you celabrating Xmas in the sun and having B-B-Q turkey. Wishing you both a Merry Xmas & Happy New Year, lots of luv U Kev & A Deb xxx

Hi you two, hope all's well in New Zealand. What have you got planned, more sunbathing?! Am going to miss you both loads at Christmas. Things won't be the same Christmas Day without a hungover Tom at the table.

As you know nothing much new at our end. I envy you the sunshine and warm weather. It's just about hibernation time for me. You know how much I hate the cold weather. Just sending this in my lunch break at work as we still haven't got the internet at home. It may be before Christmas.. or it may not.

Love and Christmas Wishes Mum xxxxxx

Hey guys, nice to see you have taken a break from sunbathing to update us on your travels!! Keep it up- its nice to read them!!

Well you will be in New Zealand now getting ready for Xmas, just over a week to go Wahoo!! Hope all is well. speak soon. Love Annaxxxx

Hi you lubbly jubblies!

Sounds such fun all that traipsing and sunbathing. Its bloody freezing here.

Well cant believe its only few weeks to xmas gonna miss you guys. First one Tom that we wont have seen you I think since you were born. Will have a drink to toast you both here on boxing day as the Mamms and Rich and Sue are coming for Tea!

dont know whether your ma told you bout me accident!! Well what a trauma, cant believe how lucky I was - in case she didnt will tell you to give you a good laugh! Funny now but have to say suffered bad post traumatic stress for couple of weeks...anyway -

Parked my car outside house at the top of my hill to get avon book - rang the door bell- heard a clunk and looked back to see my car rolling down the hill. s***E! Chased it and managed to literally push with all my might to get it past 4 parked cars - meanwhile car with headlights heading up the hill - Double s***E!! When car got to a gap decided I had to try and get in to put brakes on - managed to get the door open but by this time it had built up some speed so got knocked over by the door - meanwhile back at the ranch - Nathan Robbins (whose house I was calling at) had seen what happened all I heard was someone running by as I am knocked over - he gets in the car but unfortunately not in time to stop it smashing into Lewis' parents car. TREBBLE s***E. Anyway bless him he did his best and said the next day had it gone another 10 feet he had no chance. Mind I never realised I could run a four minute mile meself!! Car not to bad but door was moved. Bumper b*****ed and some scrathes. Lewis' family car was worse than mine but they were so kind and we were all just glad noone was more badly injured or killed for that matter. Course had lots of bad nightmares and panic attacks after thinking what could have happened. Imagine if it had gone over the green onto Dunsford Road. Christ doesnt bear thinking bout. Anyway can have a laugh bout it now - hope you have too! Most people have!!

Spoke to your ma this morning - poor bird is having it a bit rough but hanging in there and I know she misses you both loads - altho think for one the house is quietish!

Anyway must go - gotta paint the lounge door! Decs coming on nicely - should look good by the time you get back.

Carry on with good times etc. Love you. Wendz xxxx
