I have just spent the last couple of hours sorting paperwork.  Only sorting mind you.  My filing system has got a bit out of hand.  Well, I call it filing.

I am having to sift through three boxes of ‘dumped’ items to sort into - Stuff that would be quite good for the Accounts, stuff that the children have drawn, written or made me and any related certificates, newsletters etc, stuff that quite frankly needs binning, stuff that should be filed somewhere and general household stuff that for some reason ends up on my desk.

I’ve uncovered bubbles, shampoo, a pair of pants, a bib and goodness knows what else. 

I’m really shattered after a few days of work (where I am so organised it hurts!) but because we have a clean desk policy at night due to confidential information having to be locked away, it’s given me the impetus tonight to get to work (again) on my desk area at home.

It’s linked into that Spring feeling that always makes me feel good and the need for a good clean out.  I also have to tackle the house this weekend.  I have a party to organise for next weekend and the only game we could currently play is, try and get from the front of the house to the back without tripping up and breaking a leg.  Not a good game for a load of 6 year olds to be honest.

I am also keen to get back into using my desk for my own projects which are well under way now.  I know I have promised that it will be any time now, but we need to fine tweak some bits and pieces and then I will introduce it to the world.

I would be working on my project tonight, but hubbie is on a mentoring tele conference call to America (show off!) which contains highly useful information for my project, so it had to be.

This is okay as I needed to start organising myself anyway and the more I organise the better I feel and the better I feel the more I organise and so on and so on.

Oh and a useful tip for when you’re filing that I learned way back when Duran Duran were top of the charts - never, never, never have a miscellaneous file.
