Katy Great pics of your skydive. Looks like your instructor was pleased being behind you !!!!!!!! Did you feel anything stabbing you in the back on your way down ???? :-) Even though the wind was dragging your face upwards (nice quiff by the way) ... you're still looking a bit gaunt so maybe you should come home .................... hope you're ok mate. Miss you loads ... xxxxxxxxx

Rachel Naylor Hi Wes, Just been reading another update on your travels. Nothing much is really happening over here. Not many drinking nights out either where I have had the chance to show everyone my bedroom faces :) Sunita is all loved up I reckon she will be married by the time you return with about 12 children. I have a very busy year ahead.. Moving house in a few weeks, turning 30 in May and then getting married in Oct also I have just moved jobs in Asda (still a trainer just in a different area now) Well keep in touch Rach.x

rachel Happy New Year mate, nice to hear you are ok, was worried myself, well its wet and miserable here, you aren't missing much. Me and Pete had the biggest curry in the world to celebrate new year, was soooooooo nice, anyhow, best get some work done, love Rachxx

Wes Hello you, Yes I am fine thank you very much. The celebrations were all cancelled and thats pretty much the only effect I saw. Fortunately none of the bombs were in the area where I am. I also had a bit of a last minute change of mind and have postponed my flight to Oz until later in the month. So I'm still here in Bangkok, will hopefully be leaving tomorrow evening though. There's still things I want to see in Thailand. I didnt think I would be able to do it at such short notice but they were really good about it at Quantas. So dont be worrying about me, Im fine. Hows you? and how was your New Year?

Fiona A tad hung over i just switched on the telly and saw the news, are you ok? Letting those trollie dollies spoil you on the way to oz i suppose! Happy New year and safe trip Fee
