Hi Girls Hi girls! Looking forward to your travelblog news. Hope you catch up with your sleep Maxine. Have a great time in Beijing. Lots of love to you both. xxxxxxx

Oright Hey lp, your pics r amazing! It looks like you have really made a huge impression on those Chinese nippers! Qingdao looks so advanced>> apart from the eggs. Love the druken snaps, spk sn. Bisou
I'm jealous and proud! Hey Lp,
Great to see you've enjoyed yourself. I started placement last week in Kirkintilloch and i've enjoyed the first week. But to be honest I dont think I'll be as sad to leave my "NED-sitting" placement as you have been with your little china dolls!
But, I first looked at the photo of the little boy holding the teddy bear, being totally honest I know this sounds bad but I thought he was being sweet and he had brought it for you from the factory that his dad works in down the road!
Oops..dont take the next comments the wrong way but I thought you wouldnt last very long in the depths of China. Particularly, as I know going to a foreign country on your OWN is hard but where they dont speak much english, and the culture is at the other end of the spectrum to our own. It's really shown me another side to my best friend.I'm very proud of you Miss Paton.
Thinking of heading round to see Eunice with Murray for a spot of dinner...think we'll pre warn her, rather than just pitching up.
But miss you...hope the books have been handy and i bet your travel diary is sitting gathering dust. Hope to hear from you soon.
Look after yourself,
Allyxxx
Hi Lauren! Max getting excited about meeting you next week. We are doing our best to get her organised - not an easy task. Have enjoyed reading your log. The pictures are great. Roxie sends her love. xxxxxxx
Thought I would leave one of these comments coz you said you get excited when you get one aww Never heard you being so maternal in all my life fat head it scares me...im worried to see how many kids ur going to be bringing back in your rucksack. Anyway glad to hear the news speak soon XX
the sharpest tool in the shed LP I think you've got the wrong end of the stick - his head is not off centre, he's just trying to distance himself from the weird hippy girl to his right. Have you been off the soap again? They look like a very able bunch to me, and none of them have the tell-tale Shillady cross eyes x x
christmas wake up call Hi Lauren
Thanks for the latest blog but sorry to have woken you on our Chistmas day,forgetting it was already your Boxing day.Nice to talk to sleepy Joe even if it then led to tears from CB and then your Mum(who came in with the special card that still allowed "662 hours and 18 minutes of talk".........so that should see you through to BKK).
Glad you had a nice KFC....something approaching our lunch at Dalziel Drive with roaring log fires ,bouncing puppies and dancing Grannies!!
Look after yourself
Love
Fred
Emotional! LP,
Gutted you (and nially)are not here for the annual powwow in Big Blue and then onto a feast of entertainment in the local. I have to inform you that our usual drinking haunt on Xmas eve, Bar Oz is no longer. It has been turned from being an archetypal "aussie bar" into this classy joint where a smoking jacket and a pair of two tone brogues would fit perfectly. So no doubt we will be leaving "Coopers" at 1am trying to refrain from hitting the tarmac.
I hope you have a nice Xmas and dont get too lonely. I will call Eunice later today to have a chat and make sure she has a good Xmas too and find out what life without her princess is like!
Take care,
Love
Ally
Have just spent 5 months working in a call centre saving for this trip and now I am off! I will spend 6 months in China working as a teacher and doing an internship for the China Daily newspaper in Shanghai and then max comes out to meet me and from China we will be making our way around the world....... full info
