Random Stuff!

---

The first few pictures are for our Mum's...see we're not living in squalor!!! As if I'd do that...if you can't plug in a hair dryer I'm not staying there..first rule of travel...

We have however had a few unwelcome house guests in the shape of cockroaches the size of small rats. They are HUGE!! And for Helen's friends you'll have a vague idea of how she reacted one night when she came into the flat, kicked off her shoes and promptly stepped on one...all hell let loose. The cockroach wasn't too pleased either. If that wasn't funny enough she was cleaning her feet in the bath and another one scuttled over the edge of the tub...I have never seen anyone jump out of a bath so quick. And I must say Mrs Jones that you're daughter know's some very rude words..unfortunately I was laughing too much to be able to get the camera...another time maybe!

Anyway just a quick blog...off to the cinema because (shock horror) its wet and windy here at the moment...and you can all stop cheering!!!!

Hello Guys!
It's great to get your travel blogs and see how you are doing .Keep them coming I always look forward to them. You all look really well and it was lovely to see pictures of Rich and Helen too. I'm holding onto my dream still. 4 years hopefully and we'll be able to travel over. Can't face the flight with a 4yr old, a 3yr old and a 6 month old!! Take care and have a great time! xxxxxxxxxxx

I mean big cockroaches! You can catch them with a big block of moistened toilet soap. Not sure what you do wlth them then.Barbeque perhaps? I would like to have seen you both trying to escape from them. Do you think thet make good pets? Perhaps train them to some tricks to entertain folks!

Hello
Hi Helen Sam tells the story so well about your adventure with the cockroaches. If you kill them at the rate your going there soon be endangered. The house looks great, especially the sea views. How did you manage to get the biggest bed? It's raining here so I hope the weather's warm and sunny there. Speak to you soon love mum XXXXXX
