    Thanks Sal, managed 3 hours in the end last night - doesn't sound much but it's enough for me to function on, so that's good.

    Yesterday was awful - I was so tired I just couldn't do anything. I'd had 5 hours sleep the night before, and woke up feeling much better, but hadn't slept for 48 hours prior to that, so it got to mid-day and I just hit the wall.

    Poor Mr Sunday, he stayed up until the early hours with me. We did have a really good talk though (about our marriage break-ups and subsequent events), and I think it helped us both.

    Not suprised you were tired, sleep depravation is awful. Have you always suffered with insomnia?

    When does the store open? It has been Christmas and I bet not a lot of decision making was done. I would call them up and say that the lady who interviewed you had no idea on when employment would start and when you would hear anything and please can they give you some feedback?
