Hi Gerry, I love and miss you so very much. Well it's nearly Christmas once again. As i have not had a car much recently I have not done much Christmas shopping. Thank you for making sure our car was fixed at the NIssan garage and that it was only a minor fault . The glow bulbs needed replacing which was not too expensive. The Nissan ones were very expensive and were not available for 6-8 weeks so we had cheaper ones fitted. There is still a fault showing on the fuel injectors but the garage said it was ok. It goes like a bomb again now. Thank you so very much. I am still agonising over whether on not to have a smart meter fitted. It will give me a £100 cashback and 3% cheaper bills of i do. However i will lose out on our fit deemed export and it will be monitored and only get back what is unused . Also I am very worried as this is a one way street. Our current agreement is for 25 years at 50% generated and the new Seg system is not guaranteed and the energy firms can give back what they like. Also there are millions of smart meters problems with false reading and or not working. Geoff and Wilma and Jamie have just had them fitted and neither of them show and readings. I have booked and cancelled twice now and have until the end of the year to deicide. i am hoping you will help me on this matter. I am tempted to stick with what we have as everything is working ok and i don't wand to risk any problems. Eventually the government will force everyone onto this system. Some people including Darren have been able to keep on the fit system, but i don't know how. Di id very weak and poorly now. She fainted twice recently and i though she was dead. I am worried that i should have her put to sleep but don't know when the right time will be. Please can you help me with her. I don't want her to suffer but I also don't want to have her put down unnecessarily. I know you will be over the moon to be re-united again. Please help her and me with this situation. It has been bitterly cold recently and I am trying not to use the central heating or use too much electricity and the prices of both are horrendous now. I have managed to get to the saw mill in Wootten Bassett last week. I bought a dumpy bag of off-cuts. I stupidly did not get them delivered and had to manually shift 3/4 of a ton of small off-cuts into the car and then unload them all when I got home. I also went to the farm and got a boot load of there logs around 110. This will hope fully get me through December and most of January. I was totally knackered after doing that. I have now got my engagement ring back from Iles the jewellers. They had to replace the mount that the diamonds were set in as it was more cost effective tat trying to repair it. They replaced the missing diamond and cleaned it. It looked amazing, new and sparkly when i collected it. I keep thinking of the Christmas eve you gave it too me. I was so proud, happy, excited and blessed to be engaged to the man of my dreams. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the most magnificent husband, lover, sole mate and best friend it the world. I don't have much more news at the moment. I am thoroughly miserable and lonely without you. I watched one of our home videos you put onto a DVD the other day. It made me cry my eyes out. It was so wonderful to see you so happy, full of good health, playful and excited. We certainly had the most magnificent and memorable Christmases every year. We will all miss you this Christmas as we do every single day. I went with Jamie and his family to Christchurch a on 3rd December to the Light up a Life service to honour and remember you. I hope you are happy, restored to full health and re-united with everyone you wish to be with. I hope that Tuppy, Satch and Patch are with you too. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and New year with all your friends and family. I will miss you every second of it. I am not sure if I will put out and decorations or the tree this year. As Austyn and Violet are coming for a sleep over a couple of times this month I might get them to do it for me. Until we meet again , please always remember that I always have, and always will love you forever and always. All my love forever and always, Maggie XxX
This candle went out on 1st January.
