Glad to hear that you are both alive and survived your first 6 months together, living independantly, supporting each other financially and emotionally and most of all learning each others little faults. If you can survive that you can survive most things, good luck to you both may the next 6 months go as well as the first. Lots of Love Mum xxxxx

Hope you enjoy your weekend and manage to get some great photos of you both in Wollongong. Kloe has been moved up a class at swimming and is really chuffed. Met Mrs Daly today she was asking for you. Have a nice day off on Monday, is it a public holiday? email soon Lots of love mum xxx

Hey, Wollongong was nice. It was good to get out of the city and see some friendly faces that we recognise! The extra day off was noice too but unfortunately Ross had to work the morning but he gets paid double time and a half so he's not really complaining! Its a public holiday for Anzac day! Its to remember all the australian and new zealand troops that fought in the war! Just seemed like an excuse for a day at the pub with some twos up gambling game but it was good for us. Lots of love Nina xx

hi you two
i'm off to see winnie the pooh,
isn't it funny how a bear likes honey? buzz! buzz! buzz! I wonder why he does.
and sometimes when our fights begin, I think I'll let the Dragons win....and then I think perhaps I won't. because they're Dragons and I don't. some pooh quotes check email

You'll be pleased to hear it was wet & miserable here. Going thro' to see Ann & Lindsay in Edinburgh tomorrow. Guess where David is? Yup - he's followed his Australian girlfriend home - I don't think Ann's too chuffed but I'll get all the gen tomorrow. Tried you're mobile tonight but couldn't get thro'. Still waiting for your postal address although your card still hasn't arrived. Keep making us jealous, Love Mum xxx
