Disappointment... What the fcuk?! Since when has a dicky tummy ever stopped anyone in our family getting bang on it? Hang your head in shame mama. Auntie - big up yourself babe (although I'm sure you could've squeezed another jar or two in). Would've been more exciting if you'd have been driving the moped too. Matthew's here and was wondering if the lady running the beach cafe had any 'fish fingers' because apparently all other fish dishes "stink", the heathen. We're all good, house is still upside down though. Tony's been round today fitting a new window as well as Rick doing the stairs. Got the carpet being fitted Wednesday so hopefully this time next week it'll all be finished and looking like Llewelyn-Bowen's been round. I'm off down the Stag now to watch the Amir Khan fight, play pool, darts and drink some jam jars. Love always, Darren, Donna, Bump and Fago xxx
WHERE ARE YOU TOGA´s? Hiya huns, Have I missed a bit? Don´t seem to have had any updates since you found the beach and the Yacht Club!! Have you been press-ganged, met a couple of sailor boys, been locked up in prison, lost the laptop, or have the LIIT´s finally caught up with you and you´re out for the count? ..............Or,......... am I not pressing the right buttons? Well, get your act together and get blogging please. Anyway, take care luvvies - can´t wait for more updates. Love, hugs & kisses to you both and "them indoors up the mountain" xxxxxxxxx
rush Hiya this is just a quick m essage tio let you know i am thinking about you , i havent had time to have a good read through your latest blog yet, but i will tommorrow and send you a better message. ok laters love you both loads xx
Flip flops I love the idea of taking your shoes off at the door. Think of all the sh1t and germs and stuff you tread on throughout the day and then trapse through our houses. The Far Easterners can't believe us Westerners do that. It's pretty gross when you think about it.
Say hello to Gary Glitter for me. Ask him why he stopped responding to my letters.
Fagin's minions I hope you checked your pockets after all the hugs from the kids. Classic manouvre that one...
I'm so glad I've finally got the link to the blog. Now I'm at work, I need something to do to pass the time. Please don't hesitate to post a few photos of speedo-clad men, erm I mean bikini-clad babes from the beach.
I've got massive news myself. After many years thinking about it, being pressured into it and many opportunities and even half-hearted attempts at it, I finally made one of the biggest decisions of my life to date - I've also had my hair braided.

HIYA TOGA´s Hi Again Girlies
Sorry, have not been near my office computer for a few days so just catching up on your travels - your travels must fill you with so many different feelings, the heartache of the Killing Fields to the happy smiling faces of the school kids!!! Anyway, your accommodation now seems to have improved tremendously but have the LIIT´s? Hope you have saved some room in your cases for Bangkok. Take care luvvies. Love, hugs and kisses. Chez xxxx
Footie Update Finally I have some good news to report to you girls, West Ham got a little payback on the theiving Scousers who robbed them of the F.A Cup a coulple of seasons back. They scored an injury time penalty to win 1-0 at Upton Park, with the young East End lad Mark Noble showing nerves of steel to fire home with virtually the last kick of the game. Not much else to report, with wins for the top 3 again and no major transfer activity apart from the crappy Spurs spunking 9m pounds up the wall for a right back!! Mr Paul Penfold, If you're reading.... the reason I've not been keeping the girls updated with Crystal Palaces results is quite simple, no-one gives a toss. Harsh I know, but fair. P.S. they lost 1-0 on Monday :o))
Jedi training..... Hi Lynda and Tina, you are moving so fast! Every time I log on the blog you are in a different country. Cambodia sounds like a bit of hard work, you will probably enjoy Vietnam more now your training is complete young Jedi's. I have friends who went there recently and loved it. Interesting food......I saw a Lonely Planet programe on Vietnam where the researcher tried everything offered to them including still throbbing snake hearts and no longer throbbing pigs penis (it's true!!) and smelly 1000yr old duck egg. Are you up for it???? I'd stick to the cold beers myself. Your photos are great, keep em coming. Stay safe, Karen
BEN'S SETTEE Wow girls I've heard of magic carpets, but Ben has a fantasy settee. I Love the story, do you know I actually got up to look out the window to see if I had 6 foot of snow and was Tom Jones out there. I even contemplated going upstairs to dig out my MOON BOOTS. (Ooooh do you remember them from the 60's) I still have mine!!!!. What I saw out of my window was a very cold looking postmas and I could barely see him through the fog.
When you get back home you've got to nag him to write a book he might do even better than J. Rowling? Then Nicky could chuck her job in at Top Shop and go and work in Harrods. Those lovely children must look forward to daddy's bedtime stories. Brilliant Stuff. The only truthful bit was your not missing a thing here.
Tina I spoke to son up in the mountain. He's fine all he wanted to talk about was Palace, so I gave the phone to his father. The're both talking about Palace going to the premiership!!! HAVE THEY BOTH BEEN SITTING ON BEN'S FANTASY SETTEE??? (Sorry son.. Up the palace). x x
P.S. I saw a blog from Kev there somewhere.. How are you my lovely adonis... keep the goals coming. X X X
THE BOILERS FIXED!!! YIPPEE GOOD NEWS Jimmy has done the boiler, and we are now the proud owners of a swimming pool where our kitchen used to be! Luckily the boiler still works so it's heated as well! For god's sake Lynda please come home, Sue keeps making me put on womens clothes and wearing a curly wig, oh , errrr, dont rush back, anyway its really cool keeping up with your travels i can't believe the things you've done in so little time. Sue asked about adopting and i said ok as long as it fits in my golf bag and can carry 4 crates of stella. Ignore those idiots who have nothing better to do than trawl through other peoples blog and complain , we know you they don't.GET A LIFE! looking forward to the next blog.....................
toga wishing it was three Hi ya, It might look like I dont send you any messages but I send private ones, not that Iv got anything to hide, But tina sends to me and I reply. As I said in my private message ha ha IGNORE the stupid Bastard that says you are racist, or let him contact one of us, me if he wants. silly f*****. Any way as others have said we are so proud of you both and I wish I was with you. Take care love to you both fletch xxxxxxxxxxxx
Still on this Settee!! Big Respect out to the Toga's - still doing us proud. Keep up the good work, its fantastic to hear your stories.......
Well you’re not going to believe this...............
You are missing so much here!! It snowed last Thursday; we had 2 meters of the stuff! All roads and offices have been closed so everyone was sledging and ski-ing down the roads, it was so romantic. We all went up to Barn End Lane and were all ski-ing down the hill.
Louis and Mia looked fantastic and took to it like they had been doing it for years. Then (and your not going to believe this) Tom Jones was doing a one off charity performance at The Orchard Theatre, obviously no one could get there so it was cancelled. As we were making our way back up to the top of Barn End Lane for another shoosh down the hill we bumped into Tom, he was in all his ski-ing gear and was staying at Rowhill! We spent the whole afternoon with him, he was a fantastic skier.
He then came back to our house and I put the under floor heating on in the conservatory (obviously it was a special occasion) and we played sing-star until about 4am in the morning. Guess what his favorite drink is? yep - sobrano and coke!!
We explained that you were both big fans and he remembers Lynda from the time she had to be escorted from his house! he was gutted that you could not have been here but we have loads of pictures for you.
We have had some more good news - Donna and Darren went for another scan the other day, everything is fine but we have a bonus! she is having triplets - what fantastic news.
The final point you WILL NOT believe, this is a big one. Are you ready for it .. Are you sitting down . Well Nicky has not been to Bluewater for at least 4 days, 12 hours and 37 minutes.
She decided she needed to cut down because the staff in Topshop and New look had started to think she worked in the stores. She went in last Wednesday and the Manager at Topshop pulled her into the office and gave her an almighty telling off. She asked why she had not been into work for two days and more importantly why she had not called in sick.
Nicky explained the situation and tried to explain she did not work in the shop but she spent lots and lots of time in their store so it must just seem as though she works there. In the end we had to get proof from our bank that Topshop had not paid her and they finally agreed she did not work there. What a mix-up!
Anyway, I would like to stick up for Jimmy, the house is very tidy and very much near completion. The sauna, steam room and outside Jacuzzi are now all in place. His water-bed arrived yesterday and his pool table, fruit machine, beer dispenser and dancing pole will be fitted at the weekend.
It looks great Lynda, The house has been painted in the west ham colors, I told him not to do it but now he has it looks fantastic, I am thinking of doing the same on mine.
As you know all of the above is total rubbish, I am STILL sitting in the same place on my settee, drinking far too much, watching the same programmes, having the same mood swings, reading your fantastic blogs.
The kids are truly amazing, Nicky still has plenty of retail therapy and we are all so proud of you. GO GIRLS AND CONTINUE TO DO US PROUD. You are missing nothing!
Make it count, do as much as you can and continue to live the dream! Lynda Loo, hurry up back so I have a drinking partner again!!
All my love Ben "The Bull Sh1t correspondent"
traffic Hey togas, next time you login check out the stats, admittedly one was from a complete d*ckhead who thought that saying that you were visiting a poor combodian was a racist comment. Perhaps you should sell advertising on the web pages to recompense the kids for all their inheritance going on long island ice teas.
Still no horror stories about toilets, we wanted to hear about 3 foot lizards in the toilet, whole animal communities living in vats of turds under the seat, or rats swimming around the U-bend and biting Tinas bum. Can we have at least one horrible toilet picture, just to give Suzie nightmares.
how you doing, just a quick message before i go to bed, i spoke to you ealier and you both sounded like you were having an amazing time, altough obvously seeing a few things that are hard to take, i guess we have it so easy when you think of things like that, but still, dont go giving them any of our money, because they wont know what to do with it or even worse they will just waste it, ok keep the good work up and i will catch up with you soon, all my love proud of you both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Girls Read with great interest your visit to Cambodia but one huge question remains unanswered, DID JIMMY TURN UP TO FIX SUSIES BOILER ? back to Cambodia it looked a dreadfull place but the kids looked great . Glad your now in Vietnam (skcollob ) bit of Vietnamese for you dazzle x (read it backwards son )
If Des Lynham is on blog quick question for you, why havent you mentioned the palaces two great wins over the past week to place them in the top five and pushing for the premiership ?
You girls keep up the good work , love reading the blog , take care xx
Gob-smacked!!!! Girls! Finally got round to having a look and read through your blog and can safely say that I'm in total awe and so, so jealous - what a fantastic experience ....!!! Will now make sure I log on regularly for the next instalment. Was really upset that I couldn't join you for your evening out before you left but the old back was still terrible and had also gone down with the flu (not the best of times!). Anyway, will look forward to catching up with you when you're back! Keep up the good work with entertaining us with your experiences - fabulous! Lots of love to you both. Eva xxxxxxxx
hola mama y tia hi just at anne and johns and showing them the blog emma arrived on friday and we all went to miguels for dinner
will blog again later love you xxxxxxx
.Phnom Penh I was so moved by your visit to the Killing Fields and uplifted by the visit to the orphanage. One question? Who has accused you of being racist and offensive - obviously someone who doesn't know you at all!! Making observations about other cultures does not mean you are critising! Looking forward to hearing the next blog from Vietnam.... please say hallo to Country Joe and The Fish won't you? Love Joolsxxx
Norman I have just had an email from Karen and have forwarded it to Lynda cos I havent got the blog on my list of addressees so have sent it to Lynda but will sort out putting both the others on there as soon as I am finished this, it sounds really good and he is getting on fine, had a quadruple by pass in the end but you will read what karen said, anyway we are all fine here so will let you know as soon as we know anything about Dad, love you lots,be safe and happy you seem to be having a wonderful time. xxxx
Apologies... my ar$e! Suesday Mae (and Auntie),
First off, ignore all those who have been sending you negative comments about your blogs. I take it they're from people you don't even know? If those people are reading this then fcuk off and read someone elses blog if you don't like it.... losers.
I must say that it's not been the most enjoyable entry so far, but then again it's not suppose to be. It was quite hard reading it so heaven knows what it must of been like for you two actually being there. Well done. Liked the braids auntie, but I was hoping for you both to come back with dreadlocks. Enjoy the rest of your stay there the best you can, I'm sure a few more cocktails and beers will help and I'll speak to you both when you're in Vietnam.
Knyom sraw-line ne-uh nah xx
(that's a little bit of Cambodian in there if you're a bit confused Ginger x)
oh my god i cannot beleive wat i have just read it is completely shocking to think people had to endure all that pain and suffering and probably still are somewhere in the world isnt it disgusting.
well i am really glad you have found a nicer hotel and are starting to enjoy cambodia a bit more because just think if you hadnt gone there you would not have seen all the interesting stuff that has happened there and you wouldnt have seen those beautiful kids everything happens for a reason.
keep the blogs coming we are all learning from it.
love you lots carrie xxxxxxxxxxxxx
