well she said yes. as of the stroke of 2007 nic became my fiance (or beyonce as she wants me to call her). i proposed in times square whilst standing in a puddle. romantic hey. see you soon. matt and nic

alright there, i got the blog thing working now, so you can check that out in future (mind you not too much to report now as we're nearly home, i suppose i can tell you about vegas, new york and maidstone?). have a gooden matt

Hi Cookster, The curry sounds great. However i am still having major problems with my bowels. Do they do international food. Last time i had a curry it played havoc with my insides. I was late for my morris dancing class. When i got there i thought i would be okay tolet a little trump out. Anyway the inevitable the inevitable happened and i got banned from the club for two weeks. As punishment they tied me to a pole and whipped me!! Nice.

alright there folks, i'm putting a postcard on here because the website has stuffed up, rubbish hey. anyway hopefully it's getting sorted out. we're now in the cook islands (we decided no to go to fiji due to the military coup by bananaman or something), we we've been here for about 5 days with another week left (oh, what a life). we finished nz off in style, nic did managed to do another skydive (and not to be left out i did another, that's 3 now)/ we spent a few days in rotarua, this is the volcanic area, really nice but smells like rotten eggs (you do get used to it, in fact it smelt very similar to my bedroom when i was a teenager?!!). Rotarua is really nice, we went to a couple of cultural mauri shows (one of which we didn't have tickets too, so to get in i volounteered to be the cheif of the trikbe, so not only did we not have tickets but we got the best seats in the house, clever hey). Aukland was nice but no too much to report now. anyway, we're in the cook islands for 12 days (got a week left), so far we've seen an old man climb a cocunut tree (and he showed us how to make fire, a bit random but only cost 3 quid), tonight we're off to another cultural show, in fact we've got it all planned now. not too long and well be in america, 2 days in LA, 4 days in Vegas (in fact chrimbo in vegas can't wait), then a week in NY (nic can't wait to get her "I love NY" t.shirt). anyway i think that's it, should be going diving soon (once the weather gets better, currently a bit cloudy but nicmanaged to get burned pretty well). hope everyone is great. see you soon matt and nic p.s. curry when we get back , time and date to be confirmed but i think it's gonna be 6.30 in hardys well on the 13th for a curry at around 8pm. nothing like forward planning.

Hi Cookster. The sky diving looks great. I would love to come back out and see you but i have just been to the genito urinary clinic to check for STDs´s and i have a nasty rash again. Once that has cleared up i can start morris dancing again. Authenticity = The night we were rapping in your room and i let a little trump out and soiled my undercrackers. Ooops.

Hi Matt n Nic
just been looking at your sky diving photos. Knew I shouldn't have gone neer that Kryptonite when I was pregnant!
Looks like you are still having a fantastic time. I'll be trying to persuade your dad to go to Oz and NZ after we've been to Thailand.
Keep safe ily mumxx

Hey Guys! Lovin the website and showing off your cool underwater dolphin/shark photos to my new friends here in Kaikoura! Will be flying out on Dec 5 to Oz which is wild. Hope you're having a blast wherever you are right now and Nic, if you are waiting for Matt to do things on the internet I hope you're not too bored! haha

Take care guys!

Hey Cookster, You didn't mention me. I chipped in as well for the bungee swing. I had a jar of coins i was saving up to buy a space hopper for xmas. I also had 2.87 pounds in my post office account. The combined amount was 4.73 pounds.

Hope you enjoyed it.
