Good morning you two, or rather good evening in Thailand.
Was just thinking about you both. I tried calling the MoD many times on Friday last, but line was constantly busy, so will try again today and let you both know as soon as I hear anything. They had better pull their fingers out as we're getting quite desperate too now. Sold the house so we need the financial path clear and no trouble.
You know, I still can't get over the fact that we have done so much, seen souch that none of them would want to see, and lost many friends just to keep these nuggets cozy and secure, and yet they persist in making life so difficult for everyone.
Where the he'll were those photos you sent taken? Looks so idyllic and beautiful. Lind's will want some of that?
Do you get many 'nobbies' there or is it quite safe?
Ok off to motivate myself for the day, need my coffee, bacon and eggs. Will be in touch very soon.
Oh! Not had too many Irish coffees so far. Saw Tam the Bam and wee Daisy yesterday and they will be in touch soon to check some dates for a holiday with you.
Signing off, over and put
Alan and Linds

Hi buddy,
How's thinks in bad old blighty just now? You're probably going down to the cafe on the sea front and drinking copious amounts of Irish coffee to keep warm knowing you two hehe.
Were OK over here Al, but have to be honest and say that we're hoping for some good and positive news from the MoD soon, do if you hear anything, can you let us know asap please?
Many thanks shipmate,
