I have been regularly reading the messages and thoroughly enjoying all your news, and then holding my breath for the test results. I am so sorry, what a real downer for you both. I hope the remainder of the trip goes with as much fun, and that your energy levels stay up.
Happy nursing G, this is definitely pay back Jelly fish time in fact I think KP may end up owing you!
Take care both, and love. xx
Oh yes, well impressed with Granny posting a message, so do we get you a laptop for Xmas Ma ?

Just an update on KP's situation... we've made our decision on the rest of our travels (which is what my mum was talking about in her message...) and the plan is... we're leaving Queenstown next week to see the rest of NZ, then we head to Fiji for a week, then Rarotonga and Tahiti for a week or so then LA for a few nights which will see us returning home for June 4th/5th ish. It's just over a month early but we just figured that if KP is gonna get worse then we don't wanna miss out on the rest of our travels... and as Becky said- lying on the beach should be very very relaxing and we should still return home with a tan wohooooo. Note to the Patricks, I promise I am taking very good care of Katherine for you, teaching her how to relax and sleep lots (she's learning from the best!!!) We'll let you know proper dates etc when we know them, until then do not worry it's all sorted and KP will be extremely well treated... lots of love to you all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry to hear you've got glandular fever. That's no kissing for you for a while then! Hope you get yourself sorted soon, yeah I think lots of relaxing on the beach should do the trick. Becky xxx

Dear Girls, Having just spoken to Georgie, sorry KP that you find yourself with Glandular Fever. Georgie tells me that she will make you rest and look after you. I think you are both being very mature in your approach to the situation. The rest of your trip should be fun nevertheless I am sure. Take care of yourselves and our fond regards to you both. Much love from Edinburghxxxxxxxxx

OK. Well listen up everyone. The results are in and stupid KP has managed to contract Glandular Fever. So there is a small turn around of events. So there is some thinking to do, the very tough choice of whether we lie on a beach now or later....Hmmm. We'll see. Either way we'll keep you all posted and let you know what the beef is. Muchos loves xKPx

hey kids, sorry i haven't checked the site for ages, i've been so busy with stuff at uni. sounds like you guys are having a wicked time, hope the test results and job hunting all goes well. i've got to apply for summer jobs asap really, been so disorganised this year. anwhos..i've been back at uni for 2 weeks now after my escapades in dublin....lots of gossip there!! i'm up racing (rowing) in nottingham at the w'end and going to see my sister too which should be nice. the photos are all really good and you are both looking way too brown especially you kp. i'm jealous...although i did manage to burn slightly last w'end when there was a small outburst of sun, how sad is that! i blame it on the reflective quality of the water whilst i was rowing! oh well. i'm busy with loads of work at the moment and don't break up till 25th june unlike some slackers who finish in a couple of weeks. guess you guys have all that to look forward too. miss you both loads, can't wait till the summer now, should try to meet up and kitters when you go to bristol you have no excuse (only 15mins on train from me). ok got to go get on with some work, i have a house to design, eek! love lots, g xxxx

Hi kids! No news to update except that today is our first official day of job hunting... take two. Yes we spent days doing it a few weeks ago and we're getting back on that horse and holding these crazy employers to their word... they said to come back in a few weeks so we are! Hope you've all had a good look at our latest photos, enjoy! I'm seriously upbeat today, well one has to be in this situation. KP's results aren't back yet so don't find out about the glange till tomorrow we think. Lovely to speak to you the other night M &D, love ya big sis and hello to everyone! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Bless, KP's granny's a legend for managing this! My grandparents wouldn't have a clue! Unlucky about the jobs girls, hope the fool of a lady who turned you down is telling the truth about lots of jobs about to come up! Becky xxx

I'm feeling ok, the results will be discovered on tuesday, so I'll soon know. Still job hunting right now, not going as well as once hoped, but we'll see. Keep on posting! XXX

Hi Guys! Sounds like you're having a pretty amazing time under there. Sorry this is the first time I've been to this site, only just got round to reading Georgie's e-mail telling us about it. Sorry Georgie, but it was a group e-mail. Anyway, isn't this site just great, it's like a few pages dedicated to Castertonian banter. Kenya's great, on the coast at the moment, but leaving today as i want to get up to Uganda before I go back to school and teach a little bit more. Carry on having a great time...

OK, kids, feeling less crazy today. No more than usual. Wandering the streets yesterday brought me dangerously to an internet cafe. So sorry. ERM MORE PHOTOS TO SEE SO TAKE A LOOK! Loads more of sydney and all our canberra ones. Have a gander XXX
