sup dudes. Queenstown is fun.... However the amazing scenery doesn't seem to be helping us in our quest to find ourselves some jobs. We're now proffesionals at trawling the streets asking for work in any which way possible, MacDonalds are apparently hiring at present, so who knows. Either way just to let you all know that we are alive and well, and are keeping the local video store in business. X

Hi Girls, haven't written in a while as did my usual trick of not even looking at my computer or anything else work-related until the very end of the Easter holidays when it was then panic stations trying to get work done! Anyway, glad to hear it's looking good on the job front. Let us know what kind of work you end up doing. No lap dancing clubs this time KP...let's keep it clean, kids. Anyway, just wanted to say hello so good luck with the jobs. Lots of love xxx

Kids,
check georgies email addy for my reply!
ciao bellas x

No! (Yes, this instant you who I fawn upon daily.)

Hi Mum and Dad... could you please do me a massive favour? The CV I have in my e-mail mailbox wont download because it`s saved as a works not a word documment could you please either e-mail my CV to me in an e-mail or as a word attachment asap? Thank you!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well, I am now truly envious of you both. Dad and I would love to visit NZ and maybe one day we will when our daughters finally become self financing. Thanks for letting us know you have arrived safely, good luck with the job hunting and enjoy. Much love from a cold Edinburgh.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi everyone, just to let you know that we have arrived safely in Queenstown, NZ- wow... this is possibly the most beautiful place I have ever seen. We're staying in an incredibly cheap but very cosy room in a budget ski accomodation place. Job prospects look promising- the guy in immigration said we should find work easily as there are apparently more jobs than people to do them. Anyway just to let you know that we're here and it's great (although very cold) love to you all xxxxxxxxxx

Yep its all happeing down here, bet you regret going now huh? Okay so maybe you don't! We've been expiriencing true English weather up here in the northern hemishpere, and we were on the golf course the whole time, although as i looked down the fairway of the 8th hole, 350 yards of lush green grass to face, I couldn't help think of Alice hiking through that place where she was, then of you doing whatever you were doing in sunny Oz, which of course put me off meaning i skewed my drive straight into the trees, so i hope you're happy you're the reason i was 11 over par!!! Anyway back to biz, i hope all is well out there and hope you have a safe trip to New Zealand!

PS If you can (in Oz or Ne Zealand) could you try and get an Aussie RUles Footie (I've always wanted to play), and maybe a shirt to go with ;) I'll pay you back in England, I promise........i do.......

Hello metro babes! Hope all is well in Sydney and you have nice clean clothes ready for the big NZ trip. It has been another busy and exciting day here. I am in the middle of my first essay and going through all the usual trauma (Dad has already equipped himself with ear plugs and ready meals). Will and Ollie have been on the golf course at Pachesham most of the day and want to go again tomorrow. Al is back tomorrow afternoon after three nights out in the Chiltern Hills in howling gales and horizontal rain (so you may imagine how she will be...). Ellie has picked up an eye infection (thought it was too long since we had since the vet). We are hopeful an operation won't be necessary but you know Ellie...So there you have it, all the latest from life in the fast lane in EH. LYL Mum xxxxxxoooooo

hi ho hello, first message for a long time! All looks good, love the Photos. Yep Cricket season heating up here, i think its the Aussie Rules season out there? I've been watching some on Tv to try and get just a little bit of a taster of what its like out there!! By the look of the pictures and posts you're having a great time, nice to hear from you both, and kudos to Granny for managing to post a message!!

I love the new photos and the new news. Well done Granny for accessing the site and posting your first message!
All's well here. Al is somewhere in the Chilterns, spending 3 nights under canvas, completing her Dof E Silver award. Will is revving up for the start of the cricket season with various net sessions and Mum is doing her first essay of the year. I'm quite busy with the Deutsche Bank project, paying the price for taking a week's holiday. Get in touch when you reach NZ. LYL Dad.

Goodness gracious me... forgot to mention our news! We went down to Canberra at the weekend to visit Allira and had a fantastic time. So good to see the newly brunette girlie and meet her friends. Had a good night out on Saturday and were introduced to "Passion Pop" which is seriously sweet and cheap ($3=90p) per "wine" bottle. Ah true Aussie culture at last! So a cheap night too. We're now back in Sydney and visited the Opera house on Monday on a big red Sydney tour bus. As we arrived (at about 4.45pm) there was evidence of setting up for something excting. We BFFed a couple of security guards who reliably informed us it was the premiere of Niccy Kidman's new movie "The Interpreter" unable to control our excitement, KP and I waited patiently for no less than an hour and a half to catch a glimpse of our (now) favourite star. We're so fickle! We were the front row of the railings and I caught a pretty good full on photo as she flounced past us. She had invited us in with her but we didn't want to show off in front of all the crazy fans. You know how it is. Monday night we spent watching Desperate Housewives... On Tuesday we went over to Bondi beach which to be honest isn't all that exciting... but the posing surfers seem to love it! Then last night we settled down to a night infront of the TV (it's OC night over here) yes we have indeed stayed in every night this week and fully intend to stay in tonight as well (American Idol). We may go out tomorrow night as it's abig Student night in North Sydney which Tim took us to last week but that depends on how tired we are after we go up to the blue mountains tomorrow. We're going up on the train and Tim (who's gone back to Uni in the blue mountains now) is going to drive us around and show us the good spots etc. We're off to Manly beach this afternoon so I must go now but that it pretty much all of out news for now. Hope you're all well xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
