What the Dickens...

Is my horrible cold all about??!!!

I really do feel rubbish! Voice has been almost totally gone since this time last night. D & A laughing their bloody heads off showing much sympathy every time I try to talk. I have given up and I'm just using gestures now. Mainly of the two-fingered variety!

In other news, in preparation for the big move, we have actually made some inroads in Operation Clear - Out!! The study has been tackled!!!!!

In the two years since we got lap tops and stopped using the desk top PC, therefore stopped using the study, the study has become a bit of a dumping ground for all the paperwork that comes into the house. It piles up on the hall table till one of us can't stand it anymore and unceremoniously dumps carefully files it in the study. It had reached the stage that it was almost impossible to get in the door! (There's a theme emerging here - spare room bursting with ironing, study bursting with useless paperwork!)

D braved it first and went in and cleared out loads, then I went in and spent about 3 hours ripping and shredding! Have lost count of the number of bin bags we filled!

What a sense of satisfaction at being able to see the desk, carpet and book shelves again! Decided to blip our Dickens collection as it looks more impressive than the self of Jodi Piccoult, Dan Brown and other random paperbacks below!! :-)))

Back to work tomorrow and we were supposed to have cleared out the study, garage and loft this week!!! Oh well....one out of three ain't bad!

Will do my best to get round your journals tonight but my energy levels are waning and I think even telly wathching will be too taxing. If not tonight, will catch up with you tomorrow.

Enjoy what's left of the weekend :-)) xxx
