So a brilliant travel journal draws to its end. It's been fantastic fun reading about all your (mis)adventures. And although it's helped us imagine a bit about what it must have like for you guys, it's going to be great to have you back, to tell us all the uncut details. Be warned... you are going to be expected to do lots of talks and photoshows. So, have a safe journey home, and see you tomorrow evening. Can't wait!!!

Hey hey thank you for my brithday messages !!! i had an amazing day. Turned 19 in Oceana had one hours sleep then had a day of being spoilt and some lunch with the family and then Nando's pancakes and birthday cake with my friends. Was so fun, saw 23hours of my bday. Just had a second meal with more pizza and more cake...gotta love it. Can't wait to see your pics and hear the stories we will have to book a date. love ya long time xxx

can i have a nemo fish? or a turtle. i really don't mind

Wow what an education you are getting! Dive school, martial arts, cookery, foreign languages, orienteering (getting lost), elephant/moped riding, kayaking, climbing etc,etc. I am hoping the most transferable skill - learning to live out of a rucksack, will be used to minimise and de-clutter your bedrooms so that the bedroom floor becomes visible. Cant wait..... See yah soon.

Wow!!! The diving sounds so cool. I bet David is really jealous when he reads about the nemo fish. I think the Cornish coast could do with some of those. It sounds as if you are making the most of your last week or so - enjoy the sun before you get back. It's actually starting to feel more like spring here now, so you may end up getting the best of both worlds. Really looking forward to seeing you both again. Thanks to Adam for doing the pick-up run. Must go and do my make-up, 'cos BBC Radio 1, Radio Bristol and Newsround are in school today, filming Year 6 doing a live debate about slavery and freedom. Lots of hunky filming guys around the place at the moment!!!

Whoop! I met Simon pegg and nick frost on Friday! Not long till you back and i'm off work 2-9th march so we can party hard!xxx

I forgot to tell you.. the vengabus broke down and never arrived in Brum..how dissapointing! Enjoy your last few weeks xxx oh and mother Cottam sends her regards!

Hey hows it going? Yeah so you missed out on some snow in bristol, i kept skidding in it walking to work and i saw people in their cars laughing at me! How cold! Anyway on wed night bloc party were dj-ing at propaganda. oh! Me and holly were at the front and we were : this close! Not long left now til you come home is it? See you soon xxx

SNOWDAY!!!!!!!!! Have had 4 inches of snow in Brum and i went rowing in Worcester at 5am this morning and there was 5inches... it was crazy!!! We made it onto BBC breakfast for being so crazy rowing in a blizzard.(V.COLD!) Also was in a car crash, did a 180 on a dual carriageway, we are all ok though! Wow this is so great its that really nice powdery proper snow, going to go sledging as lectures are cancelled woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. xxxx

Hi, there, girls! Your latest journal page sounds such fun. What a contrast to snowy England! You've become such chilled-out travellers that Blighty will seem really tame, no doubt. We've been given severe weather warnings for the past 48 hours, so it will be interesting to see if the predicted 15cm of snow materialises or not. Staple Hill is looking like icing sugar, but Horfield is like royal icing, and getting slippier all the time. Perhaps I'll have to spend the night in school with the rats!!! Anyway, can't wait until the 27th. Enjoy S Thailand, and keep taking care. Lots of love, Mum xxx

cold, ice, wind, rain, frost, frozen dog turds on the pavements, runny dog turds on the pavements, (no scooters on the pavement though) tramps, chavs, emos, and of course Dj dan. It's all here waiting for your return! Bet you can't wait Ooohah.xxx
