    Not too bad, but must start again at 11:00am. Just hope the yeast works a little faster today: it took forever last week, and I was nearly late for school run...

    Cup of tea, one or two e-mails, then I'm off again....

    List not done yet but I ventured into the pit that calls itself DH's study. OMG:eek::eek::eek:. Whilst my business files weren't in too bad an order....probably shredded a carrier bag full of stuff. The household accounts/bills etc were dire!!! I am taking over DH's job until they're sorted. We [STRIKE]have[/STRIKE] had every tv license since 1991 - apart from this years!!! That's probably in one of the boxes of paper work that's not filed because it won't fit in the file!!!

    So far i've got three bin bags of shredded paper. I'm now filling the big blue ikea bags full of useless paperwork and we'll have to have a bonfire. Gas bills back to 1996, telephone bills back to 1994. I don't know where it's all come from because I shredded a load last year.

    Have to say it's strangely therapeutic! If it doesn't move it's being shredded (where is stripes:D:rotfl:) xx
