Yes - got the p.m's off work - Murray is currently puttin me through the ringer against Gasquet - 3 & 1/2 hours so far - came from two sets down Gasquet served for match - its now in the 5th & he's a break up - my heart is between my mouth & my throat - fingers crossed!!!
Saturday was excellent - went to the Loft for food & drinks then my 1st time at the 'Gale - propa gayin it up - you'd have luved it! lol! Unfortunately i was drunk wen u txt - u know how i get!
Psycho is bak afta a two week break - he went out about an hour ago but as he's stil on bail i'm hopin he'll behave - obviously i'm stil as nervous as hell but there is light at the end of the tunnel...
Anyway - have a wonderful day - keep the updates comin - eat some food (we want the luv handles back lol) & keep makin the most of your experience - miss ya loads buddy...

Hi All,
We are hoping that you are all well and are not working too hard?! You'll have to wait a bit for our scuba diving photos, but they will be worth it, we promise. Thank you for all your messages it's still great to hear from you all. Keep them coming.
Helen and Chris - It is great talking to you both too, it's just unfortunate that we've missed each other the past couple of times. Think i've used all the tape up on the answer machine, ha?! I hope you enjoy working behind the bar. I'm glad that they liked the card that i sent them, say hi to them for me please. It's a shame that you missed a game of cricket Dad, but a weekend to chill out non the less. How have you got on this weekend?
Diane and David - hi both, it was great to speak to you the other day; it's normally difficult to catch you both. Thanks for sending nan's address dad although I seem to have misplaced the postcard and may need to get a new one when we get to New Zealand. I've heard from Dan and Mike, sounds like they had a good time at Centre Parcs anyway. Mom, how's the recovery going? You feeling a bit better now? Dad, we may need your expertise on photoshop to rescue our diving photos.
Hannah - I was sending you lots of hugs and kisses on that day and i'm sure you were too. I loved talking to you too, it's a shame it's so hard to get hold of you, let me know when your free to talk to over the next week. I read what you done the other day, hilarious. Let me know how Albion get on against Arsenal. I hope your final year goes well. Keep focused sweetie, you can do it.
Daniele and Mike - alright guys, glad you had a good time at centre parcs. Did the kids enjoy themselves too? What activities did you all get up to? Dan, how's the bump? Mike, I hear you're signing for Salisbury??? How's that progressing?
Vicky - We love having new adventures everyday but it is quite tiring at times. Especially as we tend to walk everywhere, we walked for about 6 hours the other day, our feet were killing us.
Sarah - I'm up for the hols it would be a laugh. How did the Waterfront go? I am not thinking about work to be honest, i'd love to carry on travelling instead. I am looking forward to starting my new job though, the accomodation is still sorted...i hope.
Abigail - I'm sorry to hear about your mum, our thoughts are with you. I hope you received my letter, if you havn't you will sortly.
Lou - The croc and snake were fine. How was your and Katie's hol?
Carl - 'Early Retirement' - heard that one before.... I'm guessing that you're on half days at the moment for Wimbledon so hope you're enjoying it. And how was your night out for your birthday?
As you are aware, our time has finished in Australia. Please continue to follow our journey through New Zealand as we're really excited about the new adventures and we hope you are too.
Take care,
Love
Lorna and Al xxx

Hi both, just sent a message god knows where its gone because i cant see it on here hmm... anyway it looks like your having the time of your lives and why not its a fantastic experience. just brill. it must be so exciting waking up everyday to another adventure, i expect its a little knackering too. wish i was there, have a really great trip and take care of each other. love vicky.xxxx
Sorry our messages have been a bit sparse of late, but you know the reasons. It was lovely speaking to you and hearing your latest adventures, but most of all your voice. I really miss having a chat. Your foto's are great you will have some wonderful memories when you get back. Can't wait to hear about your diving experience, your dad is sooooooooo jealous Lorna. Oh and you both should ask for an experiece in the jungle eating those horrible grubs!!!!!! You will never guess, I am now working in the pub with Sandy, and the customers were really pleased to recieve your card. It's my second night tonight, I know you are supposed to be ringing so i'm going to miss talking to you this week. I got a job at the school and I officially start sept, but i'm still working casual there at the mo. Hannah went back to Uni on Friday morn and got half way down to Bournemouth and realised she'd forgot to pick up her computer. Bearing her notes for her end of year exam were on it. It's a good job dad's cricket was called off on sat (because of the rain), we then made a quick trip down to her taking it back. Didn't stay long as we had to get back for Jade.
New Zealand next!!!!
Keep on having loads of fun , look after each other, and be safe
Love and miss you
Mum and Dad

Still looks like you're having a mega time!!! Not sure about you're choice of meals - you do both realise you're not on i'm a celebrity ...right? THIS IS NOT A BUSH TUCKER TRIAL! Hope you bit their heads off well and made sure they were definately dead!!!
We're off to Mexico 2 weeks today so completely opposite direction to you guys! We're going to a place called playa del carmen and it looks beautiful. We have optics in our room so no doubt we'll be getting involved in some serious tequila slammin' - we've booked to swim with dolphins too and will defo try to get some diving in while we're there! Will you both go diving when you do the great barrier reef? Top diving spot in the world! James is really looking forward to the break from work, he's working hard as usual and definately deserves a little rest! We went to see the Foo Fighters at Wembley last week - they were awesome - supported by Supergrass who were also amazing. The new stadium is immense as well - all in all a great day out! Weather wasn't too bad either!
Job hunting is painful - bring back uni any day! I've had a second interview today for a recruitment firm in leicester doing Construction and should find out either later today or tomorrow! Everything is ok with it but the hours are dire - 7.30am - 5.30pm!!! Needs must though so its all good!
Becki and Scott are in Spain as we speak - Becki has conjuctivitis but apart from that I think they're having a good time!
I can't believe you guys have been gone so long now - its really nice to keep up with what you're doing with the blog and pics!
Stay safe and have a ball!
Love Laura & James xxx
PS - Have you thrown any shrimp on the barby yet?x
