Pat and I don't stand a chance of overtaking those two

Well done on the 12,000, thats very impressive us Bartonettes have a long way to go to catch you

Thanks Vegas, guess we just talk more

Congratulations on 12,000 posts! Haven't been on for a couple of days and there's a lot to catch up on!

Phrwar. Phrawr. Thank you, Stashybeaver. Whether bare-chested or in a suit, that man is certainly easy on the eyes.

It's a good thing Craig's in a tour so if the women can't keep their hands off him, they can always pack up and go to the next town! Hmmm, when the boys sing "Run to Me" does everyone take it literally and throw themselves onto the stage?

And you had a bit of a head start as this thread started at the end of April, while CB's didn't start until the beginning of Sept when he'd started the tour...

Can't see the Bartonettes ever making 12000

I was at the controls of the wind machine. Skilled task, you know!!

And as for doing more videos?... I was thinking of a 'fly-on-the-wall' documentary.

Well... you gotta aim high!

I'm going to check my food from now on... never know what tactics you two might be using to keep me from the keyboard!!

I'm not here but where do you get this Who's Posted? info... I've looked everywhere and can't find it and I'm getting cross now

It's Redlady who is cahoots with AOL to stop me posting

How do you find this info? , & where has Trixie been posting to get to 4500 when she only has 1613 on here?
& where am I

Oh you lot do this to me all the time, I have to go out & the thread is buzzing, & when I get back you have all run away!!!

we can amd we will
think positive

I'm sure you will

Hi everyone

Just thought I would send a quick piece of breaking news.......

I have just been offered another contract which will run until November!

All other projects with Bill e.g. more Dream On concerts and a summer single release, are going ahead so it makes sense to carry on with the tour while working with Bill and the guys on these other things. There's also a possibility of carrying on to the Christmas run if Bill finds a suitable venue.

So it looks like another busy year for me with visits to many more parts of the country!

I was starting to think about a holiday in May but that's not gonna happen now! So maybe you guys can keep me dreaming of one, by helping me come up with the ultimate 'dream holiday' for Jennifer and I for January (just in case I end up doing the Christmas run!) It must be hot and sunny, very luxurious, have sports and activities available, and of course romantic!

I will look at all your suggestions and I will let you know my favourite one and who knows.....maybe even end up booking it! I will set a maximum budget of £5000 (that includes flights, accomodation, and spending money)

I know you are all busy but this would be a real motivation for me to keep going through these next few months as the thought of doing another 10 months is quite daunting!!!

In other more worrying news........I'm living with Dean Reid, Neill Moors and Chris Dilly last week and this week. First Chris got ill, then Dean got ill and now Neill is ill!!!! I'm at the stage now where I'm hiding upstairs away from them!!!

Anyway I hope you are all well, you are certainly all keeping me entertained!!!

Much love

Craig xxx

Oh wow, thats brilliant news!!
Wonder if the tour is coming back to Scotland (apart from Glasgow and Aberdeen that is!). It would be brilliant if it came back to Edinburgh for christmas!

Will have a wee think about holiday destinations, with that rather generous budget you could go somewhere really amazing! My holiday knowledge is mostly limited to camping in the UK though

Also...

Well done on 12000 posts Craigettes ...

and 4500 for Trixie...

and 200 for JJ

Wow, I just manage to get onto the thread and find this!!!

Craig, you are made of strong stuff to even consider doing another 6 months of Joseph! You will make a lot of threadgoers very happy indeed And WOW! more Dream On concerts

If I had any experience of luxury holidays I would certainly give you some ideas, but my holidays have always been done on the cheap!

Keep well (get some echinacea & elderberry from the nearest healthfood shop!), and thank you for such a lovely update!

Thanks Craig and Henry for this latest newsletter.

Wow, what wonderful news Must look up the tour dates for the rest of the year and see if we can make another visit . And Dream On concerts, single releases. What a busy boy you are going to be. It`s great, you deserve all your success

Will get the thinking cap on for your holiday next January. Think you will need it by then

And you keep away from these boys who are passing their bugs around

Take care and keep well

Thanks Stashy, this is my favourite EVER photo of Craig!!

Forgot to thank you for this Henry!

Who did the smileys, you or Craig?!

As it's his last supper, we must let him have his way on the greens...but not everyday!!!

Or we'll have to organize some punishment

OK, it was me............. Just a little bit editorial license.

Thought as much! It was nice though!!

Thanks for the update Craig (and to Henry for posting). That's great news about the tour. Lots more chances for all of us to see you.

Will start looking for holiday ideas. By the time January comes you will really need a holiday!

You must be really worried about the germs . Keep hiding from the others.
