hello vanyanderton! so sorry I haven't written in ages, I've been really slack. Hope you're well and still having loads of fun!
It looks like we're all meeting up the next weekend coming, so sad you won't be there...but we'll most certainly
have a drink and a dance for ya, and we'll take lots of photos.
I've actually just come back from my 3 week holiday in Japan, it was really good. and dave loved it too. we did loads including tokyo disneyland! which was amazing! so pretty...I wanted to live there!
back to work now unfortunately, but actually i'm going away for a bit to set up a new H&M store that's opening,
and it happens to be in Telford! I'm staying in a hotel for 10 days, so hopefully I can spend some time with good old bexter!
Take care vanya the traveller, and look forward to seeing you...xxx
p.s big love to lovely josephine and sweet leanneta as well when they see this.xxx

Only me again, having a chilled out sunday evening so wanted to say hi to everyone. I left the kebab place- wohooo!!!!! It really was disgusting-ugghh!! I'll be leaving on thursday to go to the middle of know-where and pick strawberries for some dollars. It'll be hard work but a good way of saving-too many temptations to spend money in the city. Anyway, we had a pretty big night here last night. There's a bar attached to the backpackers and they got this famous aussie DJ to come and do a set. Many a suffering head this morning but much fun was had by all!!! Ok, well thats all really-the weather has started to heat up properly so i have managed to get a couple of tanning sessions in at last. Bye for now, love you all lots. xxxxxx

hiya honey pie! hope all is still well, got bak from tenerife this morning. gota fly bak in to Manchester airport tomorrow. anyway write or text soon. love you lots xxxxxxxxxx

Hi Van hope you are ok! Im staying at mum and dads this week to look after bob whilst they are on holiday. I am the only one of our family who is left in sunny england at the mo! you in oz, vez currently in tenerife and mum and dad in greece! its a really odd feeling!

Australia and New Zealand look gorgeous! Speaking of which, Im meetin Jenn's dad for the first time on sunday and he lived in Australia up until recently.
I wanna tell him I like him in their native tongue. Maybe you could give me some tips? From what I can tell you take the English phrase to be translated, swear-word it up and pronounce all "u" sounds as "a" sounds. Am I anywhere close?
Maybe I'll just stick to English.
I think I need to get a hobby.. or maybe a chinchilla.. no Ill stick with hobby.
I look forward to quizzing you about the actual goings on in kebab shops.. there's a fair bit of mystery concerning the old meat on a stick and where it comes from.
Anyhow, glad youre having a good time still and good luck with it all (not that you need it, you seem to have done well so far!). Keep havin fun and I liked the pics of the bridge in Sydney.
take care!
