Underwear origami

So today we enjoyed Spanish lessons, and Salsa!

We are quite knackered now, but we did have a very nice Ecuadorian lunch (chicken, sauce, beans, and rice). During lunch we had a number of creative people constructing interesting items from the restaurant napkins, this included Charlottes creative underwear, though we understand that she will not be wearing it during the trip.

Olivia Rhiannon says thanks for remembering me! Xxx

Unloved people today are Catherine neddyn, Jo Tilly louise matt James - so families how about some comment love! ( some of you have been dishing up quite a lot of love already)

Ok, so tomorrow we head to Caimito on the north west coast. This is where our community project is. There is no cell phone signal there unfortunatley so we suspect that there will be no blogging either 8-(

If we do get a chance to update here we will, but don't panic if you don't hear from us for a couple of weeks due to this.

Rest assured there will likely be a torrent of updates as soon as we are back in coverage. This also applies to you commenting types - your comments won't appear until we can get to them .

Meanwhile enjoy the nice UK weather, it was quite cool here today and it thundered again.

  18. Hey babe, I was watching big brother and they are doing a ‘come dine with me’ they even had the voice over guy from ‘come dine with me’ doing the commentary. The new housemates were taken part in it and Corin was telling a story about her holiday and the voice over guy said ‘I bet that holiday was in Benidorm’ LOL!

    Yo Cath hoping your having a cool time as well, I still want you to buy me a gift with that doller i gave you ;)

    Pip... I don’t like you... but i hope your still having a cool time, and don’t let Rosie break your camera.

    Rosie, Henry Holland is now fat and doing clothes for Primark in town, sorry I just had to tell you.

    Nat... Nick and I have run off together and are starting a new life with each other. Sorry babe.

    OMG today in our free today we tried to get ‘KP’ to speak, it took forever and Pav kept swearing at her (well funny) and in the end she still said nothing, :( Then afterwards she said sorry to me, but i think she might speak more now cause Charlotte not there now :)

    Oh. One last think cause I having been to film for a while, I think Mrs Crossley thinks I’m Ecuador, ha ha ha ha ha.

    See you soon, Love you Babe.

  20. Hey guys! Just looked through the blog - looks like you're having an amazing time!! I have various messages!
    Rosie - I have no Henry news. There probably is some, but I'm not going to lie, I couldn't really be bothered to go through his twitter. Don't take it personally! However there was a double page spread (actually, may have been 3 pages) on Jedward in this weeks Heat. I have saved it for you, but we will probably have both forgotten about it by the time it comes to your return! Ke$ha admitted that she fancies them...both of them.
    Rosie & Pip - You missed a surprise visit from the Bishop of Reading in R.E yesterday!! It was actually really good, he isn't how any of us expected a bishop to be! I will tell you more when you're back as I don't want to post some of the things he said on here....(yes, it was that bad) Hint - think of something that Nicole would ask!!
    Tilly - I am missing you so much. Geography just isn't the same! And we aren't doing much anyway. Andy is missing you too but he is too scared to use the blog yet! (Sorry Andy if you read this).
    Anyway that is all from me, sorry for leaving a really long comment, if I post again I promise to leave it short! Sports Day is tomorrow so I will post and let you know who won...if anyone actually cares!
    Hope you are all having a really really great time! Love from Sarah xxxx

  32. Rhiannan! Rhiannan! Rhiannan!

    Lola has just laid another 8 eggs - that is 20 eggs in just under three weeks. Your dad and I were sitting in the conversatory having a cup of tea when we spotted Lola sitting behind the wall (the same place where she laid before). I told your dad that it was a bit unusual for her to be there - as the only other time that she has been up there was when she laid the last eggs. The next thing she starts digging, and an hour later out pops 8 eggs. Even your dad helped this time, lifting out the eggs, washing them and putting them in the incubator. I am so excited. I can't believe it!!

    Tonight is Olivia's party - the garden is lit up like Blackpool illuminations! Bryony is staying over at Lucy's sleepover birthday party.
    Love you lots, Mum, Dad, Olivia & Bryony
    Another 8 egggs...........

I supposed I better go an blow the moths out of my grandad's (that your great grandad's) DJ.
    Love Dad XX
