    Morning All,

    Well, my attempt at the list was non existant last night. Mostly because I was able to pick up our new shredder from the neighbours (who accepted delivery for us), on the way home last night. This led to OH and I shredding all the unnecessary documents we had been saving up, and OH testing out the CD shredding capability too.

    So, on the plus side, all the paper shredding is done and can now be done on an ad hoc basis in future. OH still needs to shred all of the unwanted CD's he has lying around though. I can't wait for them to be gone!! He has refused to chuck them out in the past for fear they had personal info on there, but didn't want to have to check them all first (understandable). So, a shredder that can shred CD's was our solution. Arrived with 2 free packs of printer paper too! Didn't realise we'd be getting that, so that was a nice surprise.

    No list for me tonight as I have Qi Kwan Do after work, so won't be home until around 9pm (ish), and will then be having a shower, dinner and probably straight to bed! lol

    HUGS to all who need them, still need to catch up since yesterday.

    xx
