Moving house can be a headache sometimes and I hope things have settled down quickly for you. :)<BR/><BR/>Wendy - I don't mind reading a magazine too, as long as there's something to keep my mind occupied (besides worrying that is).<BR/><BR/>Jaimie - Yes, me too.<BR/><BR/>Nymeth - I think most of us will be too worried at this time to read anything.<BR/><BR/>Trish - I enjoy people watching. Sometimes I feel I'm able to tell what kind of people they are by the way they talk or behave. ;)<BR/><BR/>Rhinoa - I agree it's always good to carry something to read just to take my mind off something, even if it's only for a while.<BR/><BR/>Pussreboots - Ah yes!
