Sezza Hi guys, Hope the interview went well, sure you will have been great Now that you, Tom, work for AIG does that mean you have to support Man U? Apartment sounds great you will both be turning into Gym Bunny City slickers (whatever they may be). Not much news here. Wez had his last exam on Tuesday so is feeling great but at a loss at what to do in the evenings as no work to do but its a weight off both our shoulders for a few months at least. This weekend we have the Hen night/stag doo in Brighton so will let you know how that is next week. Hope you have a good weekend partying, Muchos love to you both Sez xxx
