Just wanted to share the fact that I have spent the last 2 hours organising census print-outs into 'piles'. I have now put each pile onto the floor to work on and 'organise'. I CAN NOW SEE MY DESK !!!!!!!!!! - Haven't seen it for months !!! What are the odds that tomorrow, or the next day, I will have to spread out each 'pile' back onto my desk in order to 'try' tto organise it further ???? Anyone else have the same problem?????????????

No, I have everything bunged into files, but I can't find the bit I want. Desk top is covered in books, files, folders, leaflets, calculator, tissues, stapler, hole punch etc. nell

Yes Dea. I've got the shredder on at the mo, trying to get rid of some of the mess. The room looks like a paper mill, I printed loads of stuff not needed and I also scribbled alot so there's sheets of paper with dates and names all over. Hope I don't shred anything I shouldn't. Jean

My desk is always spotless and tidy. It's the rest of the house that's the problem.....but (as I've said before) as long as I keep my eyes fixed firmly on the screen, all is well! Merry

Merry - OOOhh How I envy you the tidy desk. I know what you mean about the rest of the house though - Grand-daughter was here today, and I HAVE TO SAY - It was HER FAULT!! She moved the cutains in the Dining Room - dead spiders all over the back of them - I will have to take them down and throw them out tomorrow (whilst hubby is playing golf). The excuse will be that 'we are about to re-decorate and I was going round to the tip) !!! This 'hobby' is WAY TOO INTRUSIVE !!!!! I WISH I didn't enjoy it so much. Dea x
