A most satisfying task
« on: January 17, 2009, 12:26:38 PM »
This morning I have had a huge brekky, in a local "greasy spoon", with Lil Bruvver, cleared a load of timber from his old house to my garage (much to the dismay of her indoors) and I am now sorting out my office. What is giving me most satisfaction is shredding loads of old documents. There is much pleasure to be had in sitting here feeding all documents over 6 years old, bearing names and/or addresses etc, into an electric shredder. An utterly mindless task that makes me look and sound very busy whilst enabling me to drink cup after cup of tea (to "lay" the paper dust you understand) and ignore all the arguments and shouting that is accompanyng SWWLTBO as she endeavours once more to get the children to tidy their rooms. Frankly life doesn't get much better than today.  whistle:

I store my shreddings in a big sack and use them by the handful to light the fires with.

I have had a day of sorting also.

The brat has been off ice skating with her best friend - who also happens to be staying the weekend  ::). She is here everyday at 7am to pick up madam for school and is here every evening until about 7pm. I end up feeding her  evil: Don't get me wrong she is a lovely girl but if I wanted another kid I would have had one  noooo:

Anyway whilst the cats away I have gone into her bedroom (in full protective gear ) and cleared away the debris. Sorted out her wardrobes. Chucked lots of her clothes out that are too small but that she refuses to get rid off. Thrown away all those scraps of paper that are vital etc???

3 bin bags full of crap later I feel much better  cloud9:
