Well I had to tackle it some time. And by that I mean the children’s toys. They have so much stuff it’s shameful really. But if you add up the number of Birthdays and Christmases and times by the the people who have bought them presents, it adds up to a lot.
I set up a load of boxes and spent the best part of the day trying to organise the toys into types. Vehicles in one, soft toys in another and so on. I was doing pretty well until tea time and the night time routine and have now hit a halt.
I have to concentrate on other things now like accounts and so have the residue from my efforts scattered all over the floor. It should only take another couple of hours to do, but not tonight.
I also hit my head really hard on the door frame of the cupboard under the stairs where we keep some of the toys. It still hurts now!
It was a good day to spend in the house as they all seemed very tired today. Not the kind of day to take them anywhere. So I have reserved their energy for tomorrow and will let them loose in a public place tomorrow.
So I shall be brief tonight as numbers and spreadsheets beckon, even though I have a thumping headache. Oh to be a martyr!
