Hey guys,

Merry Christmas. I hope you're having a wonderful (hot!) Christmas and still enjoying it all. I've escaped watching Enders for a while at my parents so thought I'd use the time to see how ur doing. Kate and I moved into our new house on Christmas Eve!! Absolute madness completing the thursday before Chrismas. It was made even worse as unfortunately my Granddad past away last week so I had to go to the funeral in Edinburgh on friday then fly back to get the last bits packed on saturday. Anyway we're pretty much settled now apart from the tons of boxes in the spare room.We've got broadband in the new house so we'll put some pics up on facebook ASAP.

Anyway, can't wait to see you guys later in the year, missin you loads. Stay in touch. Balfxx

Kate says hi and she's missin you both loads and loads too.

All the best xxx

Hey guys, You both look like your having a fab time still! I'm in no way at all jealous (honest!) Anyway this is my last day at work before xmas- so have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!! x x x
