Sam
well it seems like everyone is having a wicked time! i bet the white stripes rocked! on the weekend we went to the pub to watch the rugby....we lost badly the scaore was like 26-3 i think!!! so we ended up going to a flat warming party with my flat mate hope. She is very cool! then we went to a pub called the big kumera and it is AWESOME like they play all my kinda music...cheesy, metal, rock, indie, 80's its wicked.the band were excellent and had a bit of a no doubt obsession, but thats all good!! we stayed out till about 4 in the morning and met heaps of people. we also got abused by the kiwis as we lost the rugby but that was to be expected. But now during the match the captain of the lions broke is leg in the 1st min and is out for the rest of the tests, and they think when they are looking back at the replays the captain of the all blacks did a foul tackle which broke is leg....so now we have a come back!
The next test they play together is next weekend and and its in wellington so its going to be a big night!
then on sunday i went to hopes parents house and they were lovely...they are the best hosts. they fed us and everything. great food. the house was so warm and it was great to sit on the sofa and veg out watching sky(wow more channels !) before we left hope raided the fridge...she nicked toliet paper, heaps of frozen food, some fruit called feijoas(the best fruit in the world!) so now we are fully stocked up.
We also discovered a pizza place called hells pizza. Its the best ever...all the pizzas are called the 7 sins and things like that and on the box you get there is a cut out cofin (like a happy meal box, you kinda put it together) and it says 'for your remains' excellent.
we finally got a fan heater for our flat, its better than nothing cus its soooooo cold now.
im working in heaps of different place at the mo, all not to bad. i work 7 am till 10am in one place all the time, which is just awful to get up for....but i am managing to get up ok, havent been anywhere close to late...as i have to get a really early bus to the place...at 6:20. i work on the 24th floor there and its very POSH its called the majestic center. im like a trolley dolly, i take round little food things to the offices!
anyway bye for now, miss ya...hope you got some fairy wings becky. bet your loving it!
nice to hear from you anne, im going to miss guide camp!!!! NOOOOOO! bet it will be cool, are you going to the same place?

OMG COLDPLAYS ON! mwuhahahahaaaaaa!!!!!
Mum + Bec
We're off to Glastonbury in the morning, lets hope the sun shines. We're all set with wellies, waterproofs and sunsceen. They were absolutely swamped there(ross lied about the weather being lush lol), Vic said that some of the little pup tents were only showing 2" above the water. They have opened up some new fields for the tents to pitch on. However on saturday morning they say that 134,000 people were there and only about 2000 had left the site. They retented the ones that had lost their tents. Vic and Ross were fine because their tent was on a hill but the ones that were down near the stages (ie. like where you were last year) were ruined.
(becky talking) im debating wether or not to get fairy wings as i finally hav enuf money to get them, i dont think i will coz i wont hav anywhere to wear them so ill just get a t-shirt or something instead hehe.
anyways, how are u? hope you are well and all that(u probly get that every time someone sends u an email/text/letter etc. 'how are you?' 'hope you are well' lol) right now on t.v we are watching a fairly good band called kasabian on the other stage, they arent bad but not my kind of music, more ur kind me thinks lol.
well we betta get going, gotta go to bed early so we can get up nice and early to get in front of the queues hehe.
bubi! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Hi Sam
Great to see all your photos! We're missing you loads at Guides - it doesn't seem right doing all the summer outdoor stuff without you. We had a great time flying big kites on the beach last week with the guys from the UFO kite shop. Our camp this year has a celtic theme, with the patrols having tribe names. Not sleeping in roundhouses though!!! but hopefully lots of good craft stuff to do as well as the outdoor activities.
Happy Birthday for last week - hope you had a good day.
Tara's going to Glasto on Sunday - the rest of us will catch up with it on the telly.
Keeping having fun - we'll need all your adventure stories to keep us going through the winter after Tara sets off on her travels - she goes on 5th Nov.
Lots of love,
Anne
Sam
CHECKOUT MY PHOTOS!!!
ross phoned me this morning when the white stripes were on i hate you! i dont care if its minus 1000 degrees and up to our head in mud i would still go to glastonbury if i could(it would still be warmer than our flat is anyway!!!) they are bringing out a film about glasto next year! im sure download will be good, i suppose it will have to sustitute for glasto next year. i would LOVE to go to the lions game but unfortunatly the ticket cost about 120 bucks.....so i will have to go without. Actually that price is for a small game like lions vs wellington...so for lions v allblacks it will be more. so we will be in the pub shouting and cheering. PLEASE GOD LET US WIN!!!! it will be horrible here if we loose. poor bec hope shes ok. you will love glasto in your wellies mummy. has elaine got some???!
Merv
i have no money!!!! i have no money because i went to see you, but i think the near bankruptcy was worth it! pay day is so far away, and i owe most of it to owen already! the thunder storm was ace, i loved it! nearly rode to work in it too! luckily it stopped before i set off. i still got a good soaking though. better than slurping about in the mud at glastonbury! download was so much better than last year. you'll love it next year, vix wants to come too! you can take her to see Ville Valo! I'm off to Hobbits, so as soon as i have some money, i'll put credit on my phone so i can text you, i know it's been a while, but i still miss you and think about you. you'll just have to learn telepathy cos it's cheaper than a phone! bye for now text you soon as i can! take care, have fun, keep practising making pie, cos owen wants one when you get back! 4 months and you're home, everyone at hobbits keeps asking when you're back!
Mum
Hi babe! yes Vics at Glastonbury. They went last night in blazing sunshine. However they have woken up tp torrential rain and the most horrendous thunder storm, fork lightening, the works. you would love it, i'm sure but not the best start to Glastonbury. They are forecasting more and maybe even hail stones! Viv wasn't going to take her wellies because the weather was so hot, just walking boots. Luckily I suggested that if she was taking boots at, all wellies were more useful so they went in at the last minute.
Sunday is supposed to be nice again, but as everything will probably be muddy it so looks like my flowery wellies will come in useful after all.I was going to wear them anyway but I would have looked a bit of a wally with the heat wave we've had lately!
What did you do at a greek funeral. Do they pin money on like they do at a wedding or throw plates?
I'm glad you're enjoying yourself again, is there any chance you could get to see the rugby live? I know Tim in the market would be soooooooooooooooo jealous if I told him you were at a match.
Bec had a great time at T4 on Sunday. Although she ended up with burnt shoulders and spent Tuesday being sick because she had too much sun. Next time she will know to "listen to mother" and cover up. I think she'll make sure for Glastonbury.
Good to hear that you are keeping up with your culinary skills. Keep practicing egg, bacon, saus and chips so that you up to par for when you get back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right I'll love you and leave you now. Speak to you soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
