Jude You and I made the same mistake - I think it was because of him signing bimself Bill. Our Bill, I know is in Fiji with Roy. He went there as Co-ordinator of something or other - a job Roy made up for him. He flew out there and Roy was meeting him at the airport. I think the problem is setting up a connection to the internet. That was the last I heard - seems like ages ago now but was probably not so long. At least it meant Bill would not be on his own for Christmas and he sounded really chuffed about it. It was all set up very quickly but haven't heard anymore since then. Kathleen

Marly, I think he should be going to Fiji to join Roy for Christmas if he is well enough. I don't think he has any internet connection where he is now. Perhaps we will hear from Roy again soon to give us an update. Elisabeth

Jude, I think our Bill is a MacDonald. Elisabeth

Hello all Now when l looked on members brd this morning (7am) l saw a William MacKenzie,also known as BILL. I think l was mistaken into thinking this was our BILL. So sorry folks if l confused you - or was it really our BILL the other night. Jude:) (l'm confused now!!)

To Bill & Roy, I just wanted to say that you Roy sound as if your the 'tonic' that Bill needs......he's e-messages are looking alot more happier & chearful.....

Hi Bill - saw your name on the members board past couple of mornings, how r u doing?? l'm sure everyone would like to know. Hope all is well?? Roy - how about you, how is Fiji??? Jude

Hey Roy, Sure you don't need any other helpers? :-) Crista

Roy Im back, using Hotel PC . Sounds good to me Roy, will I book the Flight to Auckland. and which Transit Lounge. at Whenuapai ? Do I need a Passport, I still have a Valid NZ one. cant wait to join you, hope my back holds up.

Hey Roy, whatcha got for me sounds good, anything sounds good at the moment. Just going to Sydney tomorrow morning, will see my Specialist. and then spend xmas on my own. was going to stay with friends, but they have kids, and I wouldnt want to put a damper on their xmas. So anything you got sounds good just now. cant walk much at the moment though. so not much good to anyone. hope your still around. Bill

Oh bless,thanks Elisabeth.Did u know that Karen knows about Max & Vicky and has told Bill - at least l think l read it correctly on message brds Jude

Just giving it a nudge so it doesn't get lost. Maybe Bill will manage to get on sometime. Elisabeth

Reporting Vivien's words - I will try and do my best. Karen Many thanks for being you. You have taken care of Bill in many more ways than your nursing vocation. Bill We all tend to shun medical care when we "manage just fine without it". That until something hits us. You have been doing wonderful progress in your recovery process. We are confident that the new year will see a new you, walking and driving your Motor Home, and being wiser! Loads of love from Vivien to you both. I reserve my love for Karen, and will limit myself to best wishes for a full recovery to Bill. Adam Almost forgot: Vivien also sends hugs and kisses to you both (I understand that, as far as Karen is concerned, just on the cheeks). A.

Hi Bill, Pleased to hear you are being well looked after and making progress. Hope all goes well in Sydney, and we see you back on your feet and running around in the New Year. We are all looking forward to the pre-Christmas meet-ups, it will be great to be able to put faces to the names. I am going to the Guildford one on 3rd December, getting really excited about meeting up with everyone. Nothing exciting to tell you about - I broke my toe when I came down the stairs and forgot there was two more when I thought I was at the bottom - you should have seen that take-off! It was brilliant but the landing was c**p. !!!! Look forward to hearing how you are progressing - you have some great 'minders' so hopefully we will be kept up to date. Take care Bill. Kathleen

Hi Bill and friends Hope I am not to late to send this message,out shopping and seeing old work friends yesterday so was not on at all. Good luck with the specialist hope whatever is done works well for you.If we don't speak until new yaer ,have a good christmans and see you in 2004lots of love and hugs Brenda

Bill & Karen - thanks Karen for ur messages on behalf of the Bill. All the very best to you Bill,take care and we all look forward to ur return.You'll soon be pulling the trolley's,not pushing em!!!! Lastdaily diary: Drove to a colleagues house in the fog,most drivers are plonkers,they did'nt have lights on!! One student kept picking her nose, so l said 'if u keep doing that,ur fingers will get stuck up there', the look of horror on her face!!!! but she was back to the old habit within 20mins:((((Did abit of christmas shopping lunch time and scoured the charity shops for books and bric-a-brac(nothing).Home in brilliant sunshine - ridiculous this time of year!! Garlic sausages,chips,peas,toms and mushrooms,for dinns - lovely,but the house stinks now.More bloomin fireworks gone off, dog got frightened and peed on the sofa(which she should'nt have been on). Now on GC might join in on members brd in a mo. Up early in the morning for more digging in garden(re-landscaping).Next time we hear from you we could well be buried in snow,cause l reckon we've got a rough winter to come. Good luck,take care. Jude (l believe Viv has gone to Italy,so if she contacts me l will pass on ur last message)

Bill and Karen, We will miss you if you can't get online but we will be thinking of you and talking to you even if you can't hear us. Take all the help you can get and make a speedy recovery. Love and very gentle hugs. Elisabeth
