    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Evening all,

    Sorry for those who've had sad news lately. I have been feeling really sorry for myself lately stressed out with moving etc, but this does make me think I've nothing to worry about, really, it does put things in to perspective.:grouphug:

    Today I have been very busy, but managed to:

    Walk to work and home again, but sadly had to buy cakes again:mad:
    Paid several bills due at end of month
    Rang solicitor as received letter but she's away til Monday:mad:
    Call from estate agents asking if they can put up sold sign:j
    Made lovely dinner from fruit & veg box paid for by DS

    Going to France to stay with relatives for a few days so won't be on here unless they let me borrow their laptop.

    Tess xx
