Mumma J Howdy Babe ! Only a couple of days now till you see everyone again. Excited? Daniel was 19 on Sunday. We went to Sizzler's with Area Co-ordinator Alan and his posse, Shirley Club Shirl, your PaPa and I and Dan's friend Davo. Mini Me was sick, and Hannah doesn't give a s**t about anyone but herself. Still we had a good laugh and heaps of yummy food. Your Dad hasn't even started packing yet We had dinner recently with Julie Colin Stewart and John. That was a fun night. We cleaned up at the State Bottle Show, but I'll let your Dad give you the details. We also went to a "Back to the 80's party) weekend just gone. It was fun. They really went all out. Posters everywhere (hoff on the back of the toilet seat!) 80's music - 6 cds worth. We reminicsed about how daggie we were back then. It was a hoot. Have fun with your Da and sisters and Steve and Michael. Have a couple for me. Give my best wishes and love to Steve and Sarah at their wedding. Please take heaps of photos so I can feel I was there. What am I saying (you're the photo taking queen of the southern world). he he. Don't forget your Dad wants to see some bottle stuff while he's over there not just scenery. Take care, keep having a fabulous time, I'll be thinking about you all back here at work..............oh dear. Luv Mumma J - watching the fort and feeding the pets.

Aimsiewolf Eli!!! I've just finished perusing your photos YAY! They're so cool!! Great composition my little piroshki!! St Peter's Basilica fades like bleach! More exclamation marks!!! and another! Question. When, for future use, is a good time for the Parke Pose? It's somewhat reminiscent of the Jordner Garden standard duck and limp goodbye wave, no? Catch you on the Flip Flop (you know, London...) Love Felix! Make Good Choices! 80? 80!

Shirley Hello Loo, How are you going to cope with life back here?Boring springs to mind. Sounds like your having a ball, keep up the good work, cant help you with the Yalright, in my day a simple allo was enough, its all those foreigners infiltrating the UK. Bet you cant wait to see the family, its been a long time between drinks.All well this end,except you wouldnt believe the weather, rain and cold, much like where you are.Riverfire was brilliant this year, even had fireworks in the shape of hearts, and two dump and burn, dont say that over there, they will think you've been to the toilet.Im off probablly said to much, Look after yourself, have fun, be aware.be thinking of you, Happy Birthday!! Belated!! Shirley B

Mumma J Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Loo Loo, Happy Birth-day to yoouuu !!!!! Hope you have a fabuloso day - have a beer for me. Keep happy - Lotsa love Mumma J

Mumma J It's nearly the end of August and no one has messaged - so here's one! The Ekka is over for another year Mum and I had a great first day there. We ate heaps of food, looked at the art and everything, it was a blast. Hannah turned 16 on Monday - crikey my baby is 16! Starting to feel old. (Not as old as Daddio - he he). I've just got a promotion at work which will mean more moolar (money). Your dad thinks he's going to be a kept man, and be house b****. (not likely !) So far we've got 11 gold 12 silver and 13 bronze at the Olympics. Not too shabby. It's been pretty good to watch. It goes at bit late though, so sometimes it's a bit hard to get up early in the morning. Hope your trip is still going good. Stay safe, party hard, have fun, enjoy ! Lotsa love Mumma J

Jarvo Loo, As I've mentioned before Jakey would like a photo of a Celeb and now you have Kate and Ronnie livin next door is this an opportunity or what! I think it was my preminision that Celebs will cross your paths so hoping to see the photos of Jakey and Kate (Nose Job or not). Keep enjoying oversees from your fav Area Coordinator (Jarvo)

Daddio Hi Loo Loo, I hope you are fine and dandy and all is well. I've had an idea!! Slip an invitation under the door of all the flats in your building to a Aussie party at your place and see who turns up, you never know. Good excuse for a party anyway. Keeping busy here, plenty of work. Fishing trip was great, the weather was perfect, the water was cristal clear and beautiful to swim in, yes I said swim in. We even caught fish! what a weekend, we did'nt want it to stop. As soon as we got home the weather turned bad, how was that for timing. Talk soon, love Daddio.

Shirley Hello Loo, How exciting was your last blogSo have you managed to see either of them? I would be camping out in the hallway, making sure I needed to be stepped over, now wasnt one of the stones in rehab?curiouser, and curiouser. I do hope you see them, and you can get heaps of money for a photo,always carry a camera. Be prepared!! Alls well here, had some rain, dams now at 40%, have seen Batman will let Jan tell you about it, I saw Mamma Mia, saw the Stage Show in London with Linda (Sister) Film was a feel good movie, you have to love Abba, I do. It was great, my friend and I we singing and seat dancing. Brilliant. Keep on keeping on, from your Tattooed friend, Shirley

Shirley Hello Loo, Life sounds good, keep it up, must thankyou for the card, I am waiting to open it, have tried a few times no luck, but have a new lap top, and when its up and running things should be better in that dept. Everyone still well here, your Dads off on his fishing, camping long weekend, cheeky b*****, so us girls are gonna have a get together, thats Jan, Mell, and me, should be good, I dont see them enough, we all seem to doing something. Im off , my Lollipop waits, Talk again soon,Love Shirley.

Shirley Hello Loo, Fancy that rain in the UK, sorry, get used to it,have you noticed how green it is So how was work? not to bad I hope,your lucky its not for very long.you didnt say if you were getting enough hot water?That I do hope is true, work on being somewhere thats warm around November, or buy fur nickers. Can only say its cold and rainy here as well so we are all going through the same bad stuff. The concerts sound brilliant and free ones are even better, so rug up and enjoy. Have lots more fun,stay well. Take Care, Shirley B.

Jarvo Loo, Good to see Jakey getting around. I've been speakin to Jakey on his web site and he tells me he would like a photo with a Clebe in your travels he told me he was hopin to catch up with the pope while you were there, he seems to think that he needs to be blessed after seeing some of the things you're getting up to, otherwise any other celeb will do.... maybe Becks and Posh if you bump into them, Queen maybe he said hes not fussy.... anyways enjoy the rest of ya trip and think of us slavin over all the work and coordinating we have to do back in Oz. P.S luv the sunnies...... I wish I had a pair like that........ Cheers Jarvo

Mumma J Hey Loo Loo. Your Da tells me you have a job interview tomorrow. WELL DONE YOU GOOD THING !! I think this is the one!! Don't put so much pressure on yourself you silly person. You KNOW you can do this. And you KNOW you are good at what you do. Don't worry about what everyone else is doing either. It has no bearing on you or what you can do. Truth be known you will get a better paid job (oops). But really, keep your chin up and stop stressing (or do we have to come over there....) Don't forget Richard and Jane are there. They love meddling in other peoples lives (he he). Good Luck tomorrow - even though you don't really need it. Give Jakey a rub for luck!!
