    hey sturll
    how you doing?

    may i ask, is there a mrs sturll helping you out with all this? or are you doing it all on your own?

    Hi,

    Hope you are well.

    Nope, there is no mrs Sturll, but when i approached their mother she was very supportive and has made a significant contribution toward this trip.

    In terms of being actively involved with the trip whilst we are away then no. Its just the me and the kids.

    why not use twitter to microblog about the trip while you're about.. 140 character blogs, sent via text... wouldn't cost that much on a prepay mobile specifically this...

    The filming is a great idea! Really looking forward to hearing more about this trip as it develops and the diary will be a wonderful way to keep all your amazing experiences fresh in your mind for always x

    BTW, you have posted this on the wrong board! Tsk, get with the net! :rolleyes::p:rotfl:

    that confirms it my friend, you truly are nuts !!! :rotfl:

    seriously, good luck to you, but its gonna be hard work on your own with the kids for 8 weeks.
    How old are they?

    I'm worn out after having my 2 just for the day when the missus wants to saunter off for some shopping therapy on her own !! although it is generally good fun :D



    you gotta get a TV crew following you round
    SkyOne would do it, and I'd def watch it...
    Please take the time to have a look around my Daughter's website www.daisypalmertrust.co.uk
    (MSE Andrea says ok!)

    Ive had the kids on my own since my daughter was a baby. They are 7 and 4 now so we have a mutual understanding ;) They are great kids!

    I bought myself a high def camcorder and am really looking forward to add my own personal yet clueless style of recording. Nonetheless ill get it up on you tube when i return.

    good lad
    look forward to that

    mine are 10 and 5.
    hard work, but fantastic fun (when they are not squabbling ;))

    do you have portable dvd players for the back of the car for those long journeys?

    Who needs portable DVD players when you have Temazepam :D

    No seriously, they have their DS's, ill get them books to read, give them things like activities to do. They are used to traveling, albeit not 8 weeks but im hoping to cram in enough things to keep them occupied.
