Rob & Jen Hi Paul, We had a great time whilst you were here, and it snowed woohoo! Although it's back up to 17C now, doh! You were great with the kids too, Elliot loves you to bits, hope to see you again soon (i.e. when I have a couple of kayaks ha ha)... love Rob, Jen, Elliot & Arianwen

Jane Platt Well Paul, with all the time you spent on your charts and spreadsheets I thought you would have been a dab hand at the tables. Did PDA not teach you anything regards Analysing, Evaluating and Extracting a strategy...tut tut!!!

Kevin Paul. Where on earth are you now? Thanks for your card from Oz. Cheers Kevin

The Auditors The money was just resting in his account..?

Paul That sounds like a pretty good day to me. If you wait 2 weeks I will help you put the shed up! Glad the auditers have already been in...should be an easy ride for me when I get there!!??!! See you soon Mr and Mrs Green

Chris Green It's not fair that you have to write what you are doing, and you're getting no feedback from us about our lives.... So here goes... Bob has had a bit of a cold the last few days [and the vet thinks she's also got ear ache, poor doggy], so she's a bit wingey at the moment. Anyway my day started at 5am taking her out for a little walk and a poo to distract her a little from her sleepless night. After a bit more of a sleep, our new shed arrived, hurrah...at 7am grrrr... Hmm, that was most the excitement for the day... Work was fairly hectic, Auditors are in and i am still doing two jobs until SOMEBODY [cough cough] comes back from skydiving and having fun with pretty girls in bars... but i did do some very interesting tax investigations and talked to my auditors at great lenghth about my overly complicated sales allowance calculations. Mr Auditor Man nodded obediently for about 3/4 of an hour while i showed him a spreadsheet he will never ever understand, then when i asked him if he had any questions i am sure i saw a small tear run down his cheek...i think he thought my spreadsheet was beautifully consructed and it made him very emotional, he didn't even ask me any questions... Anyway it's Friday, so me and 'Wife' [should i call her Wife? or 'The Wife'?] settled down with a nice cup of tea in front of the telly and watched several episodes of 'supernanny' we recorded during the week. Just off to make a nice hot chocolate now or maybe even a Horlicks if Laurie's lucky... night night, don't be too jealous :-)

Paul No the skiing season ended about a week ago unfortunately. Looks like a great place to do it though at the right time. Queenstown is great...will do a blog after my SKYDIVE!!! Ahhhhhhh!!!

mum NZ sounds fantastic.It seems lots more fun being with a crowd of other people.Is there still any snow left to do some skiing?

Chris Green Hurrah! Hope your skydive went well? And that you clothes don't smell of Rotorura, if they do, try that trick i taught you years ago of leaving the top of the aftershave bottle off in you lugguage! When you get to Vegas, can you please put a chip on 27 for me, ta.

Laurie Green ....tell us more..... its cold and raining here so we need some stories of sunshine :-)

Chris Green ....my fingers are getting really sore now...

john Paul, surely you can't be having so much fun that you can't find time to keep us all up-to-date. We can't wait any longer, so we're all coming out to get you..........

Rob Sharon you'll be able to tell easily, if he's really been sunning himself for two months he'll have a wonderful tan when he gets back!

Chris Green "Latest Blog Entry - Friday, 26 September 2008" ...then what happened, I've been sat pressing refresh on my browser every 15 seconds for 4 days now, and i am getting a little tired.

Sharon Hey Paul, I heard on the grapevine that you are currently doing a tour around England and Wales. Thought I'd log on and see how you are doing. I think it's false advertising for you to be talking about Asia etc.I know you are really staying in Gwynedd and you just can't do all those consonants in the Welsh language. Sounds like you are having a great time and I'm not at all jealous despite the blooming rain we're having here !Keep typing Me and Rog are enjoying reading your delusions about being abroad !
