Default Anyone else drinking more while waiting for the big move??!!

Hi guys

As the title suggests I was wondering if anyone else is drinking more than usual while going through this entire process?!

Its Monday evening (I think!) and I'm sat here drinking my second (large) glass of wine. I used to try (difficult at times I must admit) to limit it to the weekends but lately theres just no chance!

1. The house has just gone on the market and already I know that I'm gonna stress like mad about it if it doesn't sell quickly.

2. Hubby has applied for redundancy again and we find out if he gets it on Friday - more stress!

3. We got our Visas last week - exciting and stressful at the same time!

4. Our 5 year old daughter seems to be freaking out about everything lately - from not eating to not drinking to feeling sick to having a sore tummy to not wanting to go to Oz to not wanting to go on holiday to Rhodes etc, etc, etc.....

Its all just toooo much stress!!!!!!

Anyone else freaking out or is it just me?

Now where has that bottle of wine gone??!!

Must admit I have found myself drinking a glass of wine some evenings, bearing in mind I never really used to have any unless we had a nice meal or special reason to drink.
