Poohbear - I'm currently filing and shredding from the beginning of 2002 and I don't think much has been done in the meantime. Paper is the bain of my life - I don't have clutter to sell just a full room of shredding and filing. Tidying up for too long was chuck it in a box and stack the box now I need to get rid of the boxes so I can work from home in that room as I'm now taking over the spare room as well. OH back next Wed (hopefully) so I have until then plus some work deadlines to meet.

What are your mouse proof boxes - plastic with lids?

Can't recall what else I was going to say so I'd better go to bed.

Morning all,

A tad less tired this morning but in a hurry. The roadworks yesterday held me up quite badly so I want to leave 10 mins earlier if I can.

Have a good one

PS: Good luck Johanne!

Morning All.

Johanne Good Luck for today

Soappie- hope the roadworks aren't too bad today.

JillD Glad DH is coming home soon. Nice that he seems to be listening to your needs. Sounds like you had a VERY tough couple of years. Glad it seems to be working out for you.

Feel really tired this morning and need to get myself motivated. Need to Main Bedroom today as did the living room yesterday as DH was home :rolleyes:

Last night I ended up at the minor injuries unit as DS had managed to cut his chin open. He was so brave but DH was in a madde panic that DS was alright. DS had managed to fall in the bath, while having a strop because he didn't want to get out, and split his chin open on the side of the bath.

(((hev))) how old is DS?

DS is 16 months, and starting to exert his will :rolleyes: His teeth have been bothering him, he's been beside himself the last few days. Poor mite, although yesterday I managed to get him to eat some stuff.

OH taken Shadow into vets this morning, and they will keep her under observation today then he picks her up and gets the consultation in the evening - but she has really gone downhill the last few days.

I think I will do the therapeutic cleaning - throw what I can out, get into the corners, stardrops everywhere. If SIL asks I can always say it is spring clean time

Binmen are going on strike here, but that's just a challenge.

Anyway, time for DS Ready Brek.
