    I do hope both house sales run smoothly gien and pricey. I'm sure there's a statistic that they rank with divorce and bereavement as high stress situations.:(


    Hope you feel better today dizzy and well done yellow monkey on coping with AF on evening off. Posting early is a new phenomenon for me, for years I always posted at bedtime just to be certain;).


    Definitely going to be AF tonight.


    2 AFDs please Shaggy.

    Thanks :D Yes, I do - think it must've been the cold weather.

    6/31 for me tonight please Shaggy x I'm getting the hang of avoiding the "wine o'clock" feeling, by keeping busy. Only 25 days to go :eek:

    Thanks for the hugs HoneyBear, much needed. I am finding it very stressful Maman as I don't really understand the market so have no idea whether it'll sell easily or not. We'll have to see what happens and how much interest there is when it goes on the market. I fit's not going to sell for a while then we do have the possibility to rent it out I suppose. Are you going to be moving far Pricey?We coming back to the UK so alongside a house sale I have to arrange international removals - urgh!

    Tonight is AFD 6 here, I am going to go to bed early tonight with a sleeping tablet as last night I had a terrible time of it (having hot flushes alongside really is not helping either)
    Talking to my DH last night though he did say 'well, none if it really matters, it's just money in the end, we're all well and happy and the kids are fine'. I'm glad I married such a level headed man.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    2AF please Shaggy
    Finally got off the Jan starting block last night, and to distract me on my first night we went to the cinema to see Danish Girl. Both really enjoyed the film despite it being pretty heart wrenching in parts. There are quite a few films out at the mo which we would like to see, plan to go and see Carol on Sat eve.

    6/31 AFDs for me tonight.


    Gien, is it cheaper to sell everything than to ship it back? Your DH is a star. Sleep well tonight.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    gien, so sorry you are having such a stressful time :( I hope everything works out for you - it sounds like you have a lot to deal with.

    6/31 for me please Shaggy.

    I was reading an article in the Guardian about alcohol that basically suggested that when you drink, your evenings are great but your mornings are a bit rubbish, and when you don't drink, your mornings are great but your evenings are a bit rubbish - ha ha :)
