Have a window of opportunity to write to you! Thank you very much for the tiger balm! We've been busy decorating the front room and spending more money than we have- much to Dennis' disgust! We are having really lovely weather, yours looks quite changable- one minute sunny and the next minute snowing! LOVE THE SCARF! The combination of yellow shower cap and goggles in the Adventure Boat look a bit odd! I've been enjoying your pictures and receiving reports from Sarah, i'm really jealous Fiji looked great and I'd love to be in NZ. Can't wait to see you soon. Take care x x x x

Hi Door Matt, New Zealand looks and sounds fantastic, you could write for Travel agents, you've sold it to me. I feel absolutely enormous today, I decided to eat all of my Easter eggs this afternoon, thinking when they're gone, they're gone....a bad move I think I look like and Easter egg now. I hope you family have saved you some Easter eggs. Adam left his in his car and they all melted.....der! Sadly Brian is in the middle of a flare up again and has seen the bedroom for the last week, oh well at least he had all of my teddies for company, not forgetting , Pansy the Panda and Bag Puss! Molly has had an op on her leg £1400 - thank goodness we insured her. I have the week off this week which is great as the weather is fab. I plan to some gardening ( you can tell I am now 21 plus, if I get excited about gardening). Joe is now talking of travelling and is keen to visit Thailand and Cambodia as well as NZ and many others. Looking forward to your next intallment plus pictures. have fun. xxxxxxx

If your'e wondering about the loadsa love x6 that was the answer to the sum I had to solve but it ended up in the wrong place!

Hello Mat

Sounds like you're having a fab time in NZ. Yes really pleased to hear you didn't do the bungee jump ( not sure if that's the right spelling).

Went to Grandma and Grandads anniversary party at Benny & Vals on Sunday, we saw lots of Dad's cousins that we haven't seen for a while and their children. Everyone had a good time especially the ones who were drinking (guess who was driving). You might be pleased to hear you've got a couple of Easter eggs waiting for you when you get home, unless of course I have a chocolate craving and that's the only chocolate in the house.

We spent the day with Tim, Claire and Grandma & Grampy on Monday, sat outside to eat as the weather has been so warm. (Megan's gone down to Bournemouth with friends and has taken her bikini!)

Anyway carry on having a fab time and we'll see you in 5 weeks.

Loadsa love x6

Hi Mat

'Because you went around the world, to have fun, and find yourself, you'll find your egg this easter, in the shop, still on the ....'

Well, I couldn't let an easter pass without setting you a clue to find your egg now could I. NZ looks as good as I thought it would be...I think I saw the boat you were on on extreme sports on sky the other day. If it is the same one you are lucky to have escaped with your life !!! Keep enjoying yourself, and have a happy easter ! See you soon.

Hi Matts, must say you look good in a skirt, I will save you some of mine. We are at Auntie Karen's this week (the genius behind the typing) after being at the party. Got to bed at 4.30!! Pictures look fabulous, continue having a great time.

Stay safe keep well!

Love you lots.

PS. From Auntie Karen. I think you can move to a factor 10 now!

See if you can buy the Island, looks fab. Was it a mask you bought or a local food container?

See you soon

Karen

Hi Mat,

Good to see you arrived safely in NZ. If all you have got to complain about is a 1 hour delay at the airport you must have had a good time ! Good to see the pictures, the islands look idyllic. Thank god you declared the mask !!! Although I am sure from the look of some of the photos you are actually wearing it !! Still as white as ever I see ! Have a great time in NZ and post some more photos if it isn't too expensive, it is really good to see what you are up to and where you have been. Enjoy the second half of your trip...see you next month !. p.s. Measured Megan against Mum this morning and she is taller than her !! We have completely re-decorated the dining room, changed the colour of the Kitchen, sorted Dan's room out (new furniture and got rid of his desk, Megan has now got it instead of hers) Got to go now as we have to get back to the chaos that that has caused. Speak to you soon.

Hi Matt, Your photo's are amazing, you have made some fantastic memories. Can't wait to see the Fiji pictures. It is 2.30am here. We have our little Nephew, Jack staying who snores like a trooper, Molly dog has had an op on her leg and is continually crying and sqeaking. Now I am wide awake!!! I will be a mother not to be messed with when they all wake up as I will be shattered!!! I am really pleased as I have managed to play Badminton this week for the first time since I had my knee op(18 months ago)and it didn't hurt - yahoo. Not sure of the rules but had a great time exercising my lardy bit bot!! Work has been different the last few weeks, a member of staff has been allowed to bring it's puppy to work. Lovely puppy.....unfortunately it is not toilet trained and is in our office, absolutely gross!!!!! Have you ever tried talking to a client on the phone whilst trying not to breath cos of the aroma???They all think I have a bad cold. Adam gets his new car today. It is a bogey coloured Vauxhall Corsa. Adam and Joe have been sharing my car. Can you believe my car was on the drive today and I thought great, I can finally use MY car. But I couldn't, Joe had the keys in his pocket and was in Southampton and Adam had the spares and he was in Salisbury!!! I am still smiling through gritted teeth!! Have a brilliant and not to chilly time in NZ. I think your dad must be really envious of you at this moment. The Easter hols are upon us and I hope the Easter bunny finds you next week. Keep safe but have fun.xxxx

Hello Mat hope you're o.k. I saw Wendy in the library today she says Terri is in NZ now. She cancelled all her NZ tours with STA because she didn't enjoy the oz experience, I think mainly because she was forced to be with alot of people she didn't like ,day and night. Anyway she got all her money back from STA and has gone to a private tour company in NZ. Wendy also tells me to warn you it's really cold, Terri has had to buy a second hand coat because she was freezing.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Lots of love xxx

Glad you are having a good time, sounds fantastic !!! I hope you showed those tribal women how to do your world famous 'everybody in the house of love' moves !!! Looking forward to seeing the pictures. Take care, lots of love. xxxx
