but I didn't have any luck either. Maybe the perfect 'new' mug would still have a positive impact.

I gave in to exhaustion shortly after 10pm last night and even with a brief thing that needed dealing with before I could crawl into bed we were still sleeping before 11pm, and stayed that way till nearly half eight. It felt so much better than midnight to 7pm. And then Francis started watching a bit of snooker after we'd had quite a large lunch and I fell asleep in the chair, possibly for over an hour!

We've had meetings every day, sometimes in the dining room and other times on site looking for warehousing (yes, still!) and I've found meetings to be really exhausting. I've taken charge and asserted myself with a few emails this week though, putting myself in the middle of an existing working relationship because I felt DH was being mucked about and it was about time this other guy learned that I was now part of this and he'd have to deal with me too. I don't have the old problems with him, so I can be more of a ballbreaker!

we've done farmers' market and supermarket today, so no surprise I'm knackered really. Didn't get a hue amount at the farmers' market - cheese, lemon curd and a massive box of chocolate brownie (no nuts, which is a joy because I hate that everyone puts walnuts in their brownies!) - it must weigh at least a kilogramme if not more!! Probably doesn't make it any better that it was organic!!! And then there was the ice-cream to go with it... which is not organic.

Actually I think I outdid myself getting more organic veg at the supermarket today. There weren't any veg at the market which surprised me. Plenty of cheese, meat, eggs, cakes, wines, but no fruit or veg. I'm going to start looking around for other farmers' markets we might be able to get to.

I'm still exhausted though, and my desk looks like hell. We're a matched set at the moment!

Kerri.
