do not mention overeating to your mum, she was not amused when she got on the scales this morning lol, they said please only one person at a time....we are just going out to the Wentworth for tea!!!!
What a day to change the clocks, it will be like waking up at 6am to watch the grand prix 2mrw. Bad news Leicester lost today, but good news Hull did not play.

Mum, we got our stuff back so no worries there altho I was in a bit of a huff last night about it (and Sam threw a huge paddy at reception) so all got solved. Really enjoyed the Brewery and the free drinks. xxx PS - Hope your not fat from overeating haha!!

P.S. Paul....what is 'weel training'? A new exercise regime for the marathon?

Hey everyone,

It's really good fun readuing these messaqes and seeing what everyone is up to. I think they should become a permanent feature lol. Anyway...Paul I hope you will run the Mansfield half anyway! My mum and sister would come and cheer you on. Ali will be ready with the tin foil to wrap u up in it.

Jane I'm surprised at you! I thought you were always so lovely, but no, you have a wicked side 'bugs in their bed'...I'm only ashamed I didn't think of it in time! What a great plan! I'll remember that for any future incidents. Amy can catch them for me tho.

Mum and little monster...this allotment sounds great! Where is it? I can't believe you've been digging up skulls tho! That is just a bit weird! What is it? An animal graveyard? And please tell me that Ali hasn't got the skull in her room at the moment, that child will cost a fortune in therapy at this rate. Lol...nah it's pretty cool, what kind of skull is it? I hope it wasn't a person, if it is I think you have to let various authorities know about that. Or who have you buried? Hmmm?
Ali's and Ricky's gardening efforts sound halfhearted! Did Ali push Rick around at all? Or is that a stupid question. I'm only coming to help if I can have a go...tell Steve that he can push me! There....that'll be something to look forward to when I get back. Oh yeah, and we're still in Brisbane today (Fri) but we're leaving at 2pm to go to Surfer's Paradise. We haven't tried surfing yet buit we have surf camp soon, so that'll be hilarious. We're in Surfer's for 4 days and then we move onto Byron Bay. Then from there its surf camp and then Sydney! Then we go (after a while obviously) to Melbourne and Adelaide in our spaceship! Hehe! Then on to Uluru (Ayers Rock). Just so u can all have a nosey...this is what a spaceship looks like: http://www.spaceshipsrentals.co.nz/

Enjoy! Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxx

weel training is going well for the marathon, but Colin at the fields told me that i should not drink any beer or wine from now till after the mararthon, cann't see that happening can you lol.am looking for races after the marathon,shame your not back by the 28th May or we all could have done the Mansfield half. maybe next year!!!!!

Hello you two.
I was a but concerned to read that your roomies had borrowed some of your stuff. I hope you got it back!!!
I'm sure a few mean tricks like bugs in their beds would sort them out lol.
I'm off to cafe Latino tonight for a lovely Italian meal with Yvonne & the other girls....yummy. I also went out for lunch with dad so I am a bit greedy today. I did go to circuit training though & lifted Heavy weights. Malcolm had to take one of them off me lol because I couldn't get up !!!
Chloe has made a brief appearance at home today, she dumped her bags after science club & went down the town with her mates. Then she's going to youth club. Honestly she treats this place like a hotel lol. (does that sound familiar)
I went to the dentist & didn't have to have anything done.....HOORAH.It's the simple things in life that please me.
So which one of you will get to drive the camper van, or will you share? More importantly, who gets to park it?????
We've got the scouts AGM to look forward to tomorrow night, I can think of better ways to spend a Friday evening. I bet your evening will be far more exciting.
Well bye for now. Take care, xxx

Hi Sam and Amy

Lovely blog really enjoyed reading it and getting updated, I just seem to lose track as to where you are. Glad you finally managed to see an real life wild koala.
Are you in Brisbane now or moved on. Lets see it is now Monday 10pm, and you said you would be there for 3 days (from Friday), which would possible make you moved on.... but then.... what do I know. I shall wait to be updated on that.

Everyone here asking how you are getting on Same, and wanting to know where you are, told them about you getting a bit of rang (which I assume is because of the typhoon, or probably not, what do I know), anyway they all send there love and hope you are not getting too water logged.

I might add that we have this last week enjoyed a very sunny week, which was a good thing, as Uncle Dave, Auntie Shirley, Sharon and Steve have now taken on an allotment (yes!!!! thats right an allotment) and yes Shirley is digging, a little bit anyway, she is better with the rack.
Ali and I went on Saturday and helped out with quite a lot of digging, as there are a lot of weeds (lots and lots) it will be a lot of weeding before all is good. But we are managing to get about half of it done, so they should be able to get some planting done this year (I might add that it is a huge!!!!! allotment, I have never seen such a huge one). We keep digging up dogs bones, all various sizes (I have managed to dig up a skull.... yuk!!!!!!), which yes you have guessed ali wants to keep, I've said when Dave has managed to get a shed she can nail it to the door.
They have chickens in the nextdoor allotment, so we kept throwing them the huge grubs that we dug up, needless to say they did not last long.
Ricky was also there on Saturday, so when he and ali got bored with racking and weeding, they enjoyed a lovely day of alison in the wheelbarrow and Ricky pushing her round, hilarious, but I think Ricky got very tired.

Went for a meal with Shirley, Dave, Sharon, Steve, Ricky, Roy and Tim on Sunday, had a nice meal (forgot name of pub, the new one enext to Asda).

Well anyway shall wait to hear mov e.

Love Mum and Ali xxxxxxxxxxxxx
