Hi Holly,
Well, it's Christmas Eve and I'm at work finishing off a last few bits and pieces before having a few days off - strangely there's no-one else in today...
I hope you received your Christmas present from me - the cuckoo clock with a cow moo-ing instead of a cuckoo... well it made me laugh.... I hope it made it onto your bedroom wall and maybe helped you to realise that I have never forgotten you or stopped thinking about you.
I'm sure you'll be getting lots of other nice stuff tomorrow and I hope you have a lovely day.
I've been doing the usual shopping for Ian and Michael - Ian wanted a computer for university, so I've managed to find him a nice one which should keep him going for a few years - I am of course going to pretend that I haven't bought it, by just giving him the printer instead and waiting until he's trying really hard not to look disappointed before it magically appears.... See, Christmas is for children of all ages...
Mikey is 17 two days after Xmas, so his main present is driving lessons - they will no doubt end up costing more than the computer... Still, Ian's girlfriend Val (it's their first anniversary together today), just passed first time, so maybe Mikey will follow suit.
Katie has given up her job in recruitment and has now decided that she wants to be a teacher, so it looks like she's got to go back to college for another year. She's temping at the moment to earn some money until that starts.
Pipski is still oop north doing panto. She's in Aladdin, which runs until Jan 23rd, but she is coming home tonight, after this afternoon's show, although she has got to leave on Boxing Day morning to get back for a show that afternoon. I'm really pleased she's home for Christmas... now if only you were here too...
We've decided to put our wedding back to July 2006, because the place we want to get married is being refurbished next year and won't be available. So, will I have seen you in 18 months time?? I do hope so, because I'd love all my children to be with me on that day...
The St Christopher's ski trip is getting close now, and I'm looking forward to that - it's been snowing in Italy this week, so hopefully the conditions will be good - and the kids too!
Well, I'd better get on - I'll be thinking of you tomorrow and I hope you are well and happy.
Until next time my little angel...
Dad

December??? - How did that happen ??
Hi Holly,
Time flies doesn't it - in a month's time, you'll be 11 and another year without seeing you will have flown by... There's so much I'd like to know - like where you're living, what you look like and whether you remember us and think of us sometimes...
I keep sending birthday and Christmas cards/presents to the house in Pevensey, but even if you had moved, I don't suppose anyone would have told me... Ho hum...
We've settled into our new office now and I really like it down here. This part of town is all being redeveloped and it is becoming quite trendy - obviously the right place for me then!!
Pip is up in Lancashire at the moment in panto - she's performing in Aladdin and they had their first show yesterday, which went OK. She's up there until the middle of January, so it's just me Mikey and Jasper at home at the moment. Mikey is still doing well at school, getting lots of good grades and moaning constantly about the amount of homework they keep giving him! Sound familiar?
The bionic one has settled back into being a full time cat instead of an inpatient, although his repaired legs have slowed him down somewhat and the field mouse population of Shirley Drive can now go out for walks in peace, knowing that he has no chance of catching them... Doesn't stop him trying though...
I've been asked to go on the St Christopher's ski trip again next month, as an 'assisting parent' - even though neither of the boys have been there for 3 years!! It's a free trip, so it would be churlish to refuse, so it's Prato Nevoso for me on the day after your birthday. If things had been different, you could have been coming on this trip - they have girls at St Christopher's now...
Anyway, must get back to work. I hope life is treating you well and I think of you always.
Lots of love,
Dad. xx
