WHERE THE TIME WENT...
45 minutes exercising
1 hour getting ready: showering, washing my hair, dressing and putting on make-up.
1 hour on the phone - talking to builders and architects about re-fitting our Ledbury Road shop, to a web-design company and to a call centre about customer emails
1 hour sending emails on my Blackberry

2.5 hours at my computer checking emails; browsing the internet and checking customer feedback online. I also work on Photoshop on our a/w 2007 catalogue
