HELLO there, no santa missed us think its because we dont have a chimmney here!??! Love to you all have a good one say hi to family from us x

Hi guys x

Hope you are both ok! Just been looking through the pictures from Ayres Rock and it just looks amazing... green with envy! (obviously I'm busy at work at the moment) christmas eve and all excited!

Not much gossip for you guys really, still waiting to get into the house and the radio is driving us mad with a horrific version of jingle bells by basshunter...oh my god what is that all about!!!

Not sure if we told you but kayleigh and ben had their baby and she is gorgeous .. liam is being a bit scary about it all though he is absolutely obsessed with her and can't get enough cuddles!

feeling a little distraught today as liam put my jeans on last night and almost fitted in them... i know tht was a bit random but I'm sure you will understand carina that it's just not right that that can happen so from jan 1st teh wedding dress diet is on and hopefully by the time the weddign comes round I'll be falling through grates in the street!

Anyway..have an amazing christmas and new year!!

we miss you xxxx

lots and lots and mega loads of love

pam (and liam even though he's probably still in bed this morning) xxxxx mwah

Hi you guys, well we have spoken to you between this so not much else to tell you other than christmas day on Bondi was FANTASTIC!!! and not COLD at all....

Liam David here, I am not so worried that you could get into Muffs jeans but why you were or would want to try!!!???!! It makes me wonder what else you have been trying to get into!!??!! Actually I dont want to know mate!! Ha Ha Be good have a good new year will speak then sometime love us x x

Hi Daringdo and Tinkerbell, G'day you babes, Whenever Chrismas arrives for you, I hope you have a whale of a time. Don't know where abouts we are in your timescale now after all the changes. David ,your nan is hearing me fine now when I am talking to her face to face but it is still no better on the phone. Ruth and Charlie are here with me now. You should have seen their faces when I was trying to talk to mum on the phone. It reminded me of the clip clop night. As for the Skype, Heather and I phoned each other on it the other day and it worked perfectly, I could even see her!! Hope to br able to talk to you at some time on the same Christmas day, if you see what I mean. What does it feel like to be actually living the dream, has it lived up to expectations so far? David, is it down to you that we have so many pants on this site???? Lotsaluv, missing you both, hugs as usual please and of course a Christmas kiss each.xxxx

Hi again only spoke last night but never mind, Glad Nan is hearing better that will be good for when we get back. Glad Ruth & Charlie there and can imagine with the conversation with Nan, as for living dream is FANTASTIC with more adventure than we imagined and its only first month!!!!!!!!! Yes all my fault pants are on site big small and other, anyway is boxing day now and sunny so off out for a stroll will update blog and pics later x x

Hi Carina,

I have a £60 incentive cheque for you for December. Let me know either on here or on facebook what you want me to do with it.

It took us about 2 hours to walk round Pugneys, it was a nice day off work. I'm only working the 24th & 28th now until the 4th of Jan so looking forward to the break. Hope you both have a fantastic xmas & new year xxx

Hey hun, if you can just post it off and put the address and my mums, please can I have all of it as asda vouchers, im sure my mum will spend them!!!! Hope you had a lovely xmas and you will have a good new year. Arent u the lucky one having tht much time off work - enjoy it!!! xxx

Hello, just managed to get to somewhere where I could read and send messages. My dial up just does not manage it and the 'work police' stop me using their system. Catching up now with your posts. Happy Xmas from Norman at aunty Caroles XX

Hey glad you managed to get on, we are looking after Norman the elephant and he is having lots of fun you'll be pleased to know, we have found lots of stubbies but not bought any beer yet so we dont know if they work!! Happy xmas to you too xx

Hi, Just caught up with news and photo`s.It does not look very warm and sunny but the scenery on the Ocean route does look stunning. Lovely to see your smiling faces, you don`t seem so far away. I am OK even if Alicia thought I was lying dead on the floor just because I did not answer the phone. Since it had not rung she could not really blame me. Mum came and checked but I am still living. Happy Christmas. Lots and lots of love. Gma

Hey gma, glad you are alive!!!!! what are they like!!!the weather is getting better, it was lovely yesterday managed to get some well needed tanning in! but not so good tday, we are just hoping it fines up for xmas and new year? keep your fingers crossed for us. Hopefully will speak to you at some point over xmas, love you lots from both of us xxxx

hiii that was a small caravan wot u were living in wot r u living in now then love minny dave

You child are mental!!!!!!!!! we are now living in a hostel!! we miss our campervan. xxxxx

Hi you two.how lucky are you. I wept buckets to read that you had got to Sydney Harbour. After all this time, you made it. What an achievement for you both, you deserve it after all your hard work, doing double shifts, all the hours poring over brochures and timetables and bank accounts. Fabulous. Had lunch at mums today, put some trimmins up for her. We had casserole and cobbler, but I can only eat two when mum cooks. Her cobbler mix suffers from the same syndrome as the cornish pasties. Lotsaluv. Hugs as usual.xxxx

Hi, yes was quite an emotional event, but probs not as much as new year there will be!!! Not suprised it got you too but you aint seen pics yet so no doubt that will be round 2! No such luck for me to have cobblers.....but least I got a pasty before I left. i hear you have skype, but do you know how it works!?! xx

not going to happen love minny dave small pants
