Selling a home is nerve wracking and tiring. You captured the angst perfectly in your wonderful Acrostic Jan. : )

You done this well Jan, hope she sold it in the end. Did look at this form but nothing came into my head. Muse gone on a cruise I think. Tom

I wrote it a couple of days ago at silly o'clock as I have a chesty cold and can't sleep well at the moment, write when inspiration strikes Tom, i enter fewer and fewer contests these days-) hugs Jan xx
