Eh, what's going on . . . come on Spadj, surely you are not going to allow football talk on the message board! I have refrained from putting anything to do with rugby for a couple of weeks now! Anyway, I thought Terry played for France.

Are you going to take in any rugby whilst over NZ . . . apparently they play good looking rugby (and the players aren't too bad either).

A work colleague has just come back from NZ, she is now supporting a maori tattoo down her arm, it's a nice one, but not on a woman . . . as my daughter once said to me about my tattoo when I had one done at the age of 37 "you'll regret it"

Best wishes

Hi U2

You must still be having a wonderful time as you havn't had time to blog for a while. Did you watch the England friendly match and see your boy Terry score? If not it was a great cross by Beckham(yes he is back) and then into the net by Terry.

I fell over last week, down on my knees, and yes I was stone cold sober. This was followed by my car breaking down and now full of cold. See how much fun you are missing!!

On a brighter note Sandra's Wedding is this weekend and yes I did manage to get an outfit without your help (it was a struggle though.

Looking forward to your next blog.

Love to you both and missing you lots Mum x x x x

Hiya girlies,

Here I am on nights again so thought i'd blog you.It seems ages ago since Fran and I were over with you but not too long till you're both home safe and sound with no doubt lots of exciting tales to tell.I think we should have a welcome home party! What do you think? Suppose i'd better go and get some work done.

Hi guys - what a brill blog posting! of all the things u have done the sky diving is the most adventurous - wish I could have done it with you!  I like the idea of getting on and off the "Magic Bus" to travel - does it go round the magic roundabout? Have you phoned Paul & Christine yet? Love you loads - keep safe Dad &GPxxxxxx

What a great start to Friday morning to hear your little voice and so excited about your sky diving adventure. I'm so glad you told me after the event! It sounds as though you and Megan are going to be really busy in NZ with lots to do and see.  Both of you take care (no broken bones please) Love mum x x x

Hey Hey!!!

New Zealand is an awesome place.. If you get the chance, do the helicopter ride over the glaciers on South Island.

Take care!!
