Paul Im so jealous of that kangaroo... some guys just have all the luck...

Paul Dorothy, i'll do your meals for you love. Just gimme a shout. I'm a whizz with chicken nuggets and chips! If you want beans, they're yours, just ask. Cherise will agree with me that my gravy is ace.

auntie Dorothy Hello Cherise, heard from your Dad that you have reached Australia and are hoping to start work soon. Hope you are successful in getting the job and that you enjoy your time in Melbourne. sure we will hear from you when you are settled. We are all OK here, still waiting for summer to start its not very nice just now - but all the weeds are growing! Your Dad is looking well and is always doing something, he goes to keep fit and also has joined a walking club. We saw him on Sunday when he came to watch a cricket match. The lady who made the meals when you came with your Dad last time has finished and there is no one doing them just now, so we are not happy about that. They cant seem to get anyone to do them. Hope to hear from you soon, love from Dorothy and Joe xx

sally Lucy and cherise, Hope you are both well and loving New Zealand/Australia.Julian,Ben and I had a nice holiday in Menorca the weather there was a bit cold and rough for the first 3 days but Ben was just happy to be on the beach fishing, it reminded him of Runswick. I am revising for yet another horticultural exam due on the 4-7-06 and tired of it already.Julian is having an interesting time in his new job, the boss is a bit harsh. Anyway apart from that we have got some nice weather and we went with Granny Jean over to Charles and Helen's on saturday night for a barbecue which was nice.God Tom is even bigger is he ever going to stop growing. I like the pictures so far, Paola has not contacted your Granny since she saw you both in Lima, strange!!!!!!!!! Must go revision calling. Bye Sally,Julian and Ben xx

Hannah Hey Lucy, Glad your having a fantastic time, you look stunning and you have a great tan. The pictures are amazing absolutely beautiful. Hi Cherise you look great also take care both of you love Hannah xxxxx

dawn Hiya hun!!! I am sooooo sorry i haven't been in touch for so long i feel terrible! promise i haven't forgot you though! I've just been ridiculously busy and haven't had the chance to come into uni to get my password updated which has meant i haven't been able to access my e mails! Sounds like your having a brilliant time, i know i say it every time but i really wish i was there with you, I MISS YOU LOADS TOO!!!! By the way i know you said your e mails are always impersonal but you were wrong, you've just had me crying my eyes out in the school library how embarrassing!!! i promise you've got nothing to worry about though, you'll NEVER loose me as a mate your stuck with me for life!! Made up your enjoying yourself the pictures are amazing. I've got 1 week left as a student teacher (i've got an interview next Monday for a MFL teaching post in Maghull- fingers crossed!).

Miss you mate and remember take care of one another xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

dad Hello Cherise, its Dad. I've come to have a look at your photos and postcards on the website at Aunty Dorothys, as its her birthday today and I've brought her a card. She says thank you for the card you sent her. The photos were good and it was nice to see pictures of you and Lucy, you both look well. I have been to aerobics today, the only man with 50 women - dont you feel sorry for me! Had a day out in Manchester with Pat last week and we went to the gay quarter on Canal Street, had a drink. It was an eye opener! Your mum says that you love New Zealand and you would like to live there one day but I think you will change your mind when you get to Australia - you havnt seen the best yet. Keep looking for the 6ft 4in rugby player!! Your mum is going down town tomorrow to get you the jeans you wanted and we will send them as soon as possible. I have not received your air mail envelope yet for the tax. I will be having Gizmo for a few days this week, your mum is getting fed up with him following her around. All the neighbours have been asking about you and I keep them up to date. I am looking forward to watching England in the world cup - but thats only your second team as Australia are the No.1 for you!! Will you be watching some of the matches. Look after yourself sweetheart and hope to hear from you soon. Love Dad - also Dorothy and Joe. XXX

Deborah Hi Cherise, Ok you can pick yourself up off the floor, I am finally getting in touch, ooops.... Although to blame dad he has only just given me this email address for you. So I'll blame him!. I've just been looking at the picks they are amazing, I am pig sick, god I wish i was young, and could do it for myself. Perhaps I could put Mol into my ruck sack and just go. Can you imagine, I'd need a crane to lift her. Talking about Mol, she is fine, driving me absolutely crazy cos she is getting excited over going to Crete, I think I'll be brain dead by the end of it, only a 6 year old for company. I will go mad. We go in 12 days, Mol has been counting down since 72!!!!! Dad says you are off to New Zealand, I bet you will not want to come home. Anyway I better go, I am currently sat at my desk at work, not sure this is in my job description but who cares. Take Care of yourself, I'll show Mol the web site when I get a minute, she will be well excited to see you. Talk soon. Bye xxxxxxxxxx

Nat and Becky Hola chicas, we have made it to Perú, but had to go the long way round via Chile cos the cabrón bus drivers in Bolivia had gone on strike and no-one knew what was going on! We're in Puno, going to the Floating Islands on Lake Titicaca tomorrow, then we're flying up to Lima on Friday for our tour. We've both felt the effects of altitude sickness on the way here, not pleasant at all, hence the flying to Lima instead of roughing it on the bus! We miss you two loads, we're back to our romantic meals á deux again! Enjoy your last few days in SA and have a great time in NZ, we're very jealous that you've got so much time left! Love you lots, Nat and Becky xxxxxxxx P.S. Preston lost the play-offs, so your dad will be happy Lucy! Sure you two put a jinx on them!! Love Nat xxxxxxxxxxx
