Hi
The shift key won't work on this keyboard so we won't use any capitals :-) just a quick update to let you know that we've arrived in xian at 6.30 in the morning!! we're just sat in the youth hostel lounge waiting for our room to be cleaned. not quite sure what we're doing yet today- i'm starting to smell abit so i think a shower is in order (sarah smells like roses?!?!) the night train was fine but no air conditioning though- i braved the toilets but i'll say one thing "never again!!" haha.
thanks for the bolton scores but i managed to find out before any of you emailed me- much to sarah's annoyance!
Dad: I notice that the bolton fixture against man city has been changed and won't be on before i go back to uni (is this because of Uefa?!?). If it is, can you instead get me a ticket for the european game on the 15th (think its the next day i'm home)?? Thanks. Hows the internet stuff going, you managed to connect yet???
Gill: Thanks for the updates, we're glad you're having a good time, sorry we're not with you.
Love si and sarah x

hi, glad you arrived safe and sound in Xian. We'll pass on the update to your mum and dad..they still have no internet and since this is bank holiday ,your dad not in work and no library open for your mum to use then we've been phoning your news. Nat and Chris went back yesterday(Sunday), so there is a little less clutter at home now your mum says. Everyone is fine though and enjoying all your news, we're glad you are having such a fine time...toilets and all haha!! Xian will be wonderful we are all green with envy. We missed you at Barton Grange yesterday, grandma and grandpa send their love and grandma asked if you have the chance could you get her some pearls...a single strand of white if possible (like mine Sarah)and she would also like a dress watch something like you brought back last time...this is only if it's easy don't go out of your way and only if you have enough on your allowance. We're off to the Victorian fair in the town centre today hopefully but at the moment it's raining...lucky us! Take Care , love to you both M,D and Lxxxx
