A heartfelt thank you to everyone that has written to me in my three months here. I've loved the whole experience and my webhut messages has been a big part of that. They've been superb and thank you all so much for taking the time and effort to write to me - it's something that i still find weird to comprehend.
Do you know any of the Edenites? What are their dark secrets? Email us and dish the dirt.
Matt 'is like a bruised bear without you'
Posted: Day 2 Week 4
Beckie gets a bit of a surprise: 'I can't believe that people are talking about me on the tubes in London - how bizarre!'. She's told that her boyfriend Matt 'is like a bruised bear without you'... aaahhh, how sweet.
Chris fails his Plymouth local knowledge test. He doesn't know what 'swilly' means.
John teases by claiming he is working on a new Milli Vanilli dance.
An admirer tells Lily 'I've just got to say how perfect you are. You're a breath of fresh air.'

Hi Ellie,
Thanks for the message - fortunately the sun has come out to play and dried up Eden a little bit. Lily is sooooooo funny - she does the funny stuff and I just roll about the place laughing at her - so she deserves the credit.
We did a funny hut-cam this morning which I hope you guys get to see 'cos I have a feeling that it would be quite amusing to watch.
That's all I'm going to say about that. Thanks and take care.
Chris
I go to plymouth art college and noticed that u were wearing a plymouth uni jumper one episode. However i don't believe that u come from Plymouth really - due to the lack of the word INNIT in your everyday use and just general un-Jannerishness.
To prove that you really are Plymouth-grown you should explain live to your fellow edenites the meaning of the words JANNER and SWILLY... only then will we honour you at your home town.
Big up Plymouth

You've got me, I'm an imposter. I grew up in a town called Alcester, a stone's throw from Stratford-upon-Avon, birth place of Shakepeare. I've been living in Plymouth since September last year. However, I understand the word janner to mean a Plymouth local. As for swilly, I haven't got a clue.
Hope this means I won't be extradited when I return! Is the art college the one opposite the roundabout?
Say hello to Plymouth, hope it's not raining. I do miss it though even though I'm an intruder!

Hi Lily,
I'm Dean a 22 yr old Graphic Designer from north east England.
I've just got to say how perfect you are.
Your a breath of fresh air. You project so much happiness when i see you, you can brighten up anybody's day with yor smile.
The world would be a better place to live in, if there were more people around like you.
Your my perfect woman, your a babe and you have a brilliant personality.
Keep entertaining us all.
Take Care Lily and best of luck in Eden and life.
luv from Dean xx
>>>> Lily Writes…
Oh my goodness! I'm totally flattered, thanks Dean.
Sending you a massive smile and plenty happiness,
God, you look amazing out there! Had to write and let you know that your fan club rears it's head in the strangest places. I was on the tube this morning and overheard two women describing you as a good reason to get out of bed on Sundays. They were the straightest looking city types and must have been in their early 30's. I was grinning at them like a mad person, they must have thought I was a bit mental... hey ho.
Matt, bless him, is like a bruised bear without you. The boys here groan everytime you mention the boyf... you are breaking hearts all over.
Anyway enough of that, it's all change in Jana world. Alex and I are over and my trip to New Zealand gets closer: 5 weeks and counting! My mate out there has just bought a car (or what vaguley passes for a car) and we will be driving around in it - causing as much trouble as possible! I will be just over the water if you fancy a bit of Kiwi life before heading home.
Take care honey...

Hi Jana
Thanks for mailing me honey, its good to hear from you. I can't believe that people are talking about me on the tubes in London - how bizarre. I think I really come over as the boring one of the group as Lily and Cli are so funny.
Eden is amazing but I am missing everyone back home like mad - however the other Edenites are doing a pretty good job at filling in. I'm really pleased Matt has his work and you lot to keep him occupied whilst I'm out here. I do miss him tremendously but it will be over before I know it. I can't wait for my coming home party, mind you it will have to be a good one to top my leaving do.
Glad to hear everything is going well with you, I bet you can't wait to go to NZ. It's such a shame that I can't meet up with you. Anyway if I don't hear from you before though I hope I will have a blinder.
