Well, Mark, you would not be impressed!!! I am not doing so well with the christmas shopping. You aint gonna like it but I have scaled down a bit. Sorry my love xxx I got out last years diary with the present list in - why on earth were we buying for so many??? You were overly generous, infact, you were nuts!!! This year, its all about family, dont you worry, Jess and Alex will do mighty fine - Infact, I may have spoilt them more than usual, but I know that will make you smile xx

Well Mark my lovely, how do you like your bling?? Spent a small fortune, we went for classy with a tiny tinge of tacky. Do you like the Robin? Jess chose it. My favourite is the red berries and the gold leaves. We had great fun doing it, I know you love it xx

Dear Mark I miss you so much. Mondays were always your favourite day. I dont like Mondays anymore. Mondays are the start of a new week. You loved that. I dont anymore. I started Christmas shopping today. Christmas - your favourite time of year. I missed showing you the gifts I bought today. Jess is planning putting the tree up and decorating the mantlepiece. Remember last year? The pressure of getting it to your precise standards. But this year you are not here to guide us.
