hi all. sorry for late update, been a busy wasp. so the full moon party, well, it was good untill i couldnt feel my arms or legs and was been sick all over and went abit funny in the head. i dont know what happend, i think i got my drink spiked because i didnt drink that much, and i have never ever been like that b4. it was awful. luckily carly and andy saved me and put me to bed. i was really gutted cos i was well up for a good boogie! but nevermind, atleast im alive and well! so the next day i felt awful. just chilled abit by the pool but couldnt move much. went out for aabit on the nigh to cactus bar but was on the water! hardcore linz! the next day we wer leaving to go back to Ko Tao to finish my Advanced Diving. so we hung about and got a ferry at about 2.pm. the ferry was rammed as evryone was leaving ko phangyan(spelling??) after the full moon party. so i didnt have a seat and sat in the isal(spelling again??) wasnt the comfyst iv ever been! we arrived in Ko Tao and finding accomodation was like finding a needle in a hay stack as evryone just piled to ko tao and its only a small island. so we had to stay miles away from wer we wanted to be in over priced accom, but i was just happy fto get somewer to be honest. we just stayd around our huts for the 1st night, had the best steak and chips(home made poatao cut chips) they wer the bestest! in the morning we got picked up by new way diving(company i did diving with) and went to book our dives. we hung about sairee beach(the main beach) had a few beers outside choppers(ozzy bar with good beer!) i updates my ipod, got coldplays new album, and N.E.R.D, and abit of rod stewart! its good to have somehting new to listen too! so we just chilled most the day really. went back to huts, wached a film on our rented DVD player! haha. then we went to look for somewer to eat it was about 10pm by this point, and evrywer was closing. so we wanderd about and ended up getting a taxi 2 sairee beach. we found a place that was open. i was soo tired thow and had to be up at 5.30am to dive at 6am. me and carly left after tea but andy and laura stayed out. went to sleep straight away. got up for diving feeling groggy, but i was excied cos i love diving so much and had missed it! we had 2 dives to do, a fish identifiying dive, and a navigation dive. saw loads of kool fish like normal, a sea snake and a sting ray again with lovely blue spots. i love been in the sea, its ace. really want to do my dive master so i can help assist and take people on fun dives. and get payd for it, but dont have enough time or money! :-( the dives went fine and we wer officially advanced divers! how exciting! haha. after we dived we had nower 2 shower as we had checked out in the morning, so we got washed wer you wash all the equipment, with a small pipe attatched to an outdoor tap. the water was probs dirtyer than i was! haha. we had dinner than was time to get ferry to mainland to get back to bangkok. the ferry was good, sat outside wich was nice, didnt get sea sick wich is alwasy a bonus! we got to mainland and had a couple of hours to wait for the overnight train to bangkok. we ate at a resteraunt wich was aful. all the staff just hung about the tabel, the food was crap and it was just bad. but the toilets wer unreal! some of the best in thailand i reckon! haha. we got the train. laura wasnt keen on top bunk so i had to go top again wich i hate, but i fell straight to sleep anyway. the train didnt have aircon as that was al booked up. so it was boiling. we arrived in bangkok about 6am. got a taxi to koh san road (wer all the tourists go, its easy 2 get a hotel here) and booked in to the green house wer me and carly stayd b4. its an ok place. nothing spesh. i fell straght to sleep and woke up at about 12.10. went to mcdonalds and filled my face with double cheeseburger and large fries! lol. im such a fatty! carly was leaving today, so i was real sad. after mcds didnt do much. then it was time for carly to get her flight to oz. i had a little cry and said my goodbyes. i was sad so me laura and andy went for a beer to cheer me up! gets a txt of carly saying shes forgottne Mr Gibbon(the teddy she got from her volenteer project whos actually like a human and has his own personality, lol) i was laughing my head off as i knew how much she loved him, so now hes in my care untill we meet up in oz. bless. went out lastnight with a few others. then here i am now! think im heading up to chang mai today with laura nick and andy then its easier for us to get to lao. hum. well hope evryones good. i am still getting all messages and i do read them. much love. mwah xxxx

Hey you! Amazing photos! You look very pretty as usual and there are lots of young men about I see! Lucky you! :-) Dad came round last night on his push bike with Ashleigh. Lucy went mad and peed with all the excitement. We are taking her to her creche thing tomorrow where she'll get to see her doggy friends! She is doing real well with the training - sit, stand, down, stay and wait! I am off work Monday as felt needed and extra day off - I need my holiday but not until mid-August! Guess what? I am thinking about doing a PhD - what a geek! Then you will have to call me Dr Blake - ha ha! I sound like a super-hero. Me and Paul are biking to Aldborough tomorrow - woweey! My life is soooo exciting - have as much fun as you can Linz before you hit your 30s - ha ha! Take care - LOVE U xxxxx
