Monday morning and I start the week with great intentions of exercising every day, eating well and getting a crack in in the mornings! I failed dismally even on this first day! More furniture moving and faffing before I go to meet Billie and her ‘bosses’ at John Lewis cafe to discuss how we can get Goodwood to consider taking Victim Support as an official charity. Such a worthwhile cause and the more I hear of what it tries to achieve with so little funding, the more I feel I should become more involved. But I have decided that at the moment I have enough to do, so will support Billie in her work.

I nip into town to buy food for lunch on Tuesday and finally manage to buy a food chopper that should be more robust than the two JLP ones I managed to break within just a few days and had to return. Plus it was half the price – not so pretty but who, besides the mice, are looking around my cupboards!
