Happy birthday Rob,

Sounds (and looks) like you're having a great time out there! Lets face it, most birthdays you probably can't remember but at least this'll be one you won't forget ! Zorbing... strapped inside an inflateable sphere to roll down hill .... so jealous you can't imagine. Every time you time you post photos I'm checking to see where I can do that stuff up here in the frozen north of Aberdeen.

Doesn't look like i'll be able to make it out to meet you guys in Oz with stuff at work (ask mum!) but if you want to add an extra couple of days on the end and finish in Aberdeen just give me a shout

Keep on keeping on

Chris , Mum & Dad

PS What do you get a guy who's travelled the world for his birthday ? I'm thinking a nice pair of slippers

Hi Rob and Shelley, just got back from Oz and seen your wedding pictures for the first time - you both look lovely and the day looked like a great one - only sorry we missed it. Great to see you both haveing such a great time on your travels, say hello to Sydney from us when you get there, it's a great place. Speak to you both soon, keep safe. Lots of love Sam and Mike XXXX

Hey Guys,
AT LAST I'M ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB!!!! Wow, what a journey in New Zealand. Have read what you both have been up to - and i'm glad to think that Rob still has his two eyes (i hope). Well i'm back in Aus, working hard to keep all the oldies at home as long as possible. Lowena and Mel are coming to Townsville on Friday. Am picking them up from the bus stop and doing a road trip to Cairns. Can't wait!!!! So when you guys coming to Aus. Must be soon. Going sky diving on the 3rd of October which is my 22nd birthday. Tell me when you's are arriving in North Queensland so i can show you all the hot spots.
Safe and exciting travelling to you both
Take care and look forward to seeing you both
Love Kylie A
(Rob- just think you do not have to do the washing up any more, oh and i still have bruises on my bum from attempting to snow board
Shelley - your not in a campervan)

Hi Guys,

Greetings from......Ireland!!!!! Yip we're home. Went to Taiwan as planned but didn't quite fancy the heat or feeling the size of an elephant in comparion to the Asian women, wouldn't even manage to get a pair of trousers to go around my ankles there. Hope ye are keeping well and enjoying every second of it. Nnot sure where ye are now but we presume Oz (written with tears in our eyes :o)!!!) Job hunting at the moment on this end, scary stuff facing interviews etc. especially when you're brain dead after a year of leisure and minimum brain work!!
Anyhow just wanted to drop a line and keep in touch!!!

Drop a line if ye get a chance at some stage and fill us in on all the adventures!!!
luv,
Val & Dinny

Hey guys how you both doin? (waves from everyone) Wow those pics look so cool, you're making us jealous lol!

Its been prety quiet in the Sheil household. However, there is a little gos.

We have a new car. A toyota corrolla, very nice.
I've been accepted for my college courses. Be a midwife in no time. WOOHOO!

We're all doing just fine.

Well we cannot wait to see more of those pics it looks amazing.

Hope to see you both soon.

Take care.

Loadza love from Kathy, Ron, Kay, Lisa and Mark.

PS Eastenders Update: Sam and Andy are getting married, however Sam has had doubts, and further doubts arise when Peggy returns. Sharon and Dennis snog, Alfie cannot contain his jealousy with Kat, and Dirty Den is taking over the Vic and throwing Alfie out. I'll keep you posted!xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello again, it was great speaking to you today you sound great. I've had a good look at the new pics you've down loaded and yes your right the Spa/Springs look fantastic. Ian and Sue have gone off to Spain to see mum with Joseph, he has really grown up in the last few weeks I'm sure it wont be long before he's talking. He definitely rules the roost and not even 2 yet!! Norm is off to Oz in the morning hopefully in time for the birth of his 3rd grandchild. Mum is meeting Norm in Liverpool when he fly's back so I'll get to see her again for a few days when we get back from our hols, yes we're still on our countdown. Then we are going across to Spain in December for my B'day, you know us, always looking for our next trip away. I'm off to see Jo and family tomorrow so I'll tell her off for not sending you a message. Bye for now, take care and I'll speak to you soon. Missing our gossiping sessions (when I should be working) loads, XXX.

Hey you 2! I'm having no luck getting my e-mails to you! Don't think we're ignoring you. Just a quick one really, we're off to Ibiza at 930 in the morning, not as glamorous as you guys I know, we'll be gone for 2 weeks so will look forward to lots of gossip when we get back. Keep those photos coming, Love ya xxxxxxxx

Hi!
I have tried to email you a few times but it doesn't seem they got through. I agree with your other messages, your email address must be pants! Glad you're having a fab time, the pictures look great. Next adventure for Shelley after this, eating chicken on the bone...
Back at college now - Shelley are you feeling suitably nostalgic about business accounts?!
Can't wait for you to come back - I'm getting all your work.

Lots of love to you both
Faye

PS - What was so wrong with the camper van experience?!

Hey guys, have tried to e-mail a few times but doesn't seem to be getting through! Don't want you to think I'm ignoring you. You both look like your having a fab time, I miss you so much Shell! I'm gonna statrt calling Rob Indiana Jones! Hope to hear news again soon, xxxxxxxx

Rob
You're email is pants!! Not only me trying to email you. Dean and Ian aswell. Get away from email. Set up lycos or something similar. More space dearest. Luv Nick

Hello you two, you both look great, Rob can your grin get any wider? Shelley I'm proud of you you've been photographed in a lot more places than first thought, and the journey continues. Well done honey (chip bone and all). We're now on our countdown, only 5 weeks to go before our hols and it'll be a nice change from the rain and blustery weather here but I shouldn't complain, it wouldn't be England with out. Bye for now, keep exploring and we'll see you soon. Take care XX
