Keep up the good work and keep posting them pictures - they are amazing (apart from the spider which is scaaaaarrrryyy!) All is good at ARFS - we are all looking forward to seeing you and mention you often :)

Hi girls. It's been a while since I've been in touch.......don't laugh but the main reason is because the computer has not been used by any of my gang lately and I did not know how to switch it on and log on.......who said that dinosaurs were extinct! Anyway enough of that and back to you..........my you have been busy girls....is there anything now left to try.......well apart from childbirth that is and in the meantime little sis has beaten you to it.......can't wait to see the new arrival.....the photos are really sweet . Meanwhile back on the ranch life has been horrendously hectic .......Josh got hired and so now has a BBC camera to terrorise us with although at the moment he's in the Isle of Wight on a post SATS school trip. The girls have been in a dance show on Cromer pier and Tig has another photo shoot next week for the cover of a brand new magazine "Amy". I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to our holiday next week....Belgium by Seacat......not quite Fiji but it will have to do! Well I was going to say that if you can't be good be careful....but after all your crazy adventures I guess I needn't bother! Bye from a little bit sunny North Norfolk. Love from Amanda's gang.

Hi Naomi,

Right now we are in the Maldives, it's a tough life. Having a great time. Loads to tell you when I get the chance. Mandy looked really nice on the wedding day, and we have finally done it, and had the most fantastic time in Sri Lanka, out of this world. Maldives is great, we wont want to leave, better than any brochure. Had loads of sharks circling our water villa this morning and I am thinking of getting up early to swim with them tomorrow if they are around again. Swam with a turtle for about 20 mins yesterday, could have spent the entire day with it, it did not seem to mind. Hope you are well and enjoying your travels, I guess you will have loads to tell us, we can swap pics and videos then. Looking forward to seeing you again, it will be good. Seems ages ago that you left.

Love you loads,

Dad and Mandy X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

Hi girls. Glad to see that you're soaking up the sun and having a
ball.......spare a thought for us...it's absolutely freezing here...in fact our Easter bunnies might just not be prepared to hide the goodies in the garden at dawn this year.......I might conveniently forget to set the alarm and stay in bed instead! Naturally, Josh and Tig are so grown up these days that they find it all highly amusing and yours truly something of an embarrassment but then that's my job! We have had another visit from the BBC and they have now left a camera with Josh for him to do some trial video diaries.........from the initial 1,000 children auditioned Josh is now down to the final 20...........fingers crossed. Poor old fella has got to have yet another eye operation on Tuesday ....it's just one thing after another. I'm very much thinking of your Dad and Mandy right now because they can only be a few hours from tying the knot.... it would be nice to be a fly on the beach....hope all goes ticketyboo. Well must sign off now as I have some leotards on Ebay to pay for.....left a bid on 5 before we went out .....and have won the lot....fine except Tig already has well over 20 !........Carry on having fun ...until next time....love from Amanda's gang.

Hi Naomi,

great pics again, looks a little stormy, and I am therefore not convinced that you have actually left these British shores. Is the whole thing an elaborate hoax?

The pace is hotting up at this end, I can feel the tension building, zero plus 4 and counting, but I will not be a bit phased, as you know I am supercool on all occasions. Anyone seen my passport, (it's probaly hiding in a safe place along with Amanda's email address) and is my passport actually still in date? I think I have had it ever since I was 5, so I look a bit different from my photo, but I am sure that will not be a problem.

hi girls. here i am again .been thinking of you a lot this week, well thats nothing fresh i think about you all the time .the weather is getting warmer , would you believe .i think the clocks go forward tonight .it will be nice to have nice light evenings .we have been looking at the recent photos , they are great .it seems to be sunny all the time .your mum came to see me on tuesday , on her birthday ,we went into town ,did a bit of shopping , and had lunch at pizza hut .we also met leanne in her lunch break . i expect you already know she finished work this week . thats all the news i have at the moment . so bye for now love and miss you .lots of hugs and kisses ,grandma and grandad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
