Thanks for that Froddy! I will do - have heard you can use them for holidays and flights etc - when Ive dug them all out and counted up I will give you a shout!x
I have done it!! I have emptied the last box of 'saved paperwork'... Emptied the purple expanding file which literally burst at the seams, and have shredded lots and sorted out the rest into new pink box files and a black metal file box - at a later date, I need to go through them and thin them out, but for now the bulk has gone! :j
I have a little pile of notebooks and photos etc that I need to decide what to do with but that frog, which has followed me since 1999 - has been well and truly eaten...

It has been raining since about 3pm, for the first time in months. The cats are snoring, having written off the day as a bad job.
I read this and thought "oooh it has here too", looked to the side and saw your location and thought "OMG It's the lady from what we call the Gingerbread House next to the bridge" It's a beautiful little cottage next to the bridge, backs onto the river and the garden is absolutely full of flowers! It would be so cool if it was you, my toddler thinks your house is 'magic' as it's just like one in her favourite book!0 -
Hilarious moment; still doing some documents for DS3 to take into school for 'who do you think you are week' and found a photo of my Nan on a beach and I thought I recognise those legs! I know where I get mine from now. Delegated the rest of the task to DH now as it would be mean to do it all myself.
Really must go to bed now and so must lots of you, we are all up too late.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0
