I still tend to wander all over the house with my laptop though, the desk can feel pressurised, somehow. Still, I love having a special place.<BR/><BR/>My sympathies re the son; my 15 year old thinks he'll never reach 18, to leave, but I betcha he won't leave at all!! Too comfy here by far.<BR/><BR/>I know re the subscriptions to various mags. I can't sub to everything and some of them feel like luxuries, but I hate missing out too... I have it limited now to four: St Fly, Mslexia, Books Irl and PIR.Group 8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07924947352624027079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407922151503116046.post-42084978315469683832009-01-01T22:38:00.000+00:002009-01-01T22:38:00.000+00:00Belated Festive greetings.
