clare Just been checking out your photos, I bet you are glad you have a digital camera now, imagine how much you would have spent on film and development!!! I can't believe you signed up to work as a child carer for a while. The idea of trying to look after eight one year olds and try to get them all to have a nap at the same time does not appeal to me either, That would be a task for any one i'm sure. Really glad to hear and see all going well down there. Bet you can't wait to see your parents. Bye for now. Clare XxXx

Nicola Chaplin Hi Sharon, Happy New Year, sounds like you had a great christmas. I'm back in Northampton for 3 weeks, i head back to Brisbane 12th Jan. I came back to see my grandad who was taken ill a few weeks ago. Luckily he's on the mend now, so i'm looking forward to getting back in the sun! I'm back in Melbourne 9th Feb for the wkend so it would be cool to meet up. Speak to you soon Nic x (Magic Bus)

Taryn Hi Sharron, I have really been enjoying all your emails, journal entries and photos. You make me sooooo jealous of you. I am really glad you are having an awesome time.

Talk to you soon, take care.

clare Nine weeks already!, your right time has flown, would never of said it had been taht long. I can't believe your counting down the weeks to when you get to do your next bit of exploring, have a reality check,..... your miles away in the sun, work is a four day week, your out every weekend night and you have 3 fellas on the go!!!! Only kidding, you must have itchy feet now, I suppose being this long in one place is unusual to you. Glad to hear all is still well and work is enjoyable. Can't you elaborate on the fella front! Bye for now Clare, Stuart, Molly and Niah XxxxxxxX

Claire Hi Sharon! Thought it was about time I posted you a message!! Got your email and your text; glad to hear you are having soooooo much fun. Been looking at your photos, the kids liked the Wildlife album......Harvey likes the idea of a Kangaroo as a pet so if you could sort that out that would be great!!! And if you could sort me out a nice Aussie man that would be great too!!! I quite like Leighton Hewitt - the tennis player......so if you bump into him, put a good word in for me!!!!! I'm now another year older!!!! Had a good night out in town but it wasn't the same without you!!!! Take Care Love Claire, Demi and Harvey xxxxx
