If you like that bloke from Neighbours Dr Mark?????, then you will like Chas n Dave, I have 2 tickets to see them at St Georges Hall and I am prepared to give the tickets up for you to go and see them when you get back. you will love em, with all our favs like: Rabbit, Rabbit, Snooker Loopey; Gertcha; Ain't no pleasing you and many more.

we keeep reading the blogs and seeing how much of a good time you are having, we are all very green with envy.  Nice to see that you are keeping intouch with us Frannie !!!!!!  Out of sight and out of mind it appears.  Anyhow we are all thinking about you and wonder what wonderful things you are getting up to.  Hope the weather is hot and if you should decide to do a Shirley Valentine then all the bloody best. Hope Kim & Megan are looking after you and that you are all kicking your heels up and having lots of fun.  Be good and take care.  Love from Sandra, Barbs & Helen.  PS Frannie, Alan is thinking about you all the time and constantly mentions you.  This makes Barbs !!!  (well you know Barbs) 

Couldn't access the blogs this time as realised putting dash instead of underscore - stupid me!  Glad you survived the hassle and long journey - I find that lots of red wine always helps as well.  Jessica's party seemed to go very well - as usual Mark from band was the last to leave.  Trev had his operation yesterday, he survived the ordeal and is now expecting to be waited on hand and foot - there's no peace for the wicked!! 

Have a really fabulous time but don't do a Shirley Valentine and not return - we would miss you too much. 

Safe journey and look forward to hearing all your exploits.

Read the mum's e-mail on Saturday and tried to send you a message but it doesn't seem to have appeared so here goes again.

Glad you arrived safely despite the hassles en route. I'm sure you are having a terrific time with the girls. Don't do anything they wouldn't do!

Stay safe and have a good journey home, I expect after a tearful goodbye.

Hello u 4. Glad everyone has met up and things are ok - bet it was an emotional reunion! Megs- Rhinos beat Saints by about 20 points and set a new attendance record at Headingley. I notice we now have a southerner adding his views on rugby on your message board - can we filter out the riff raff please? Its bad enough having to read about Bulls - did you know they print all their programmes on toilet paper? Look after the mums girls and take care of yourselves. Paul & Christine in New Zealand are asking when you will be over as they have offered to put you up from anything from your entire NZ stay to just one night - let me know.

Loads of snogs Dad & GPXXXXXXXX

Hi girls just to let you know your mums were last seen at Manchester airport at about 6 oclock this morning so they should be winging their way across the world as I write this. They were pretty giddy !

Be gentle with them and make sure they behave theirselves. I can just imagine what they will be like once they hit the  Australian plonk.

Lots of love dad
