If you'd done all those bits you wouldn't have got out doors at all.

Quite. Did you see the state of the attic floor ? Embarassed
It's been like that for years now. I hardly go in there.
sean

No I didn't. Actually, I may have done, bits of the evening/night/morning are, um, hazy.
toggle

erm, have i hit the smilie per post limit there?
sean

Didn't know that there was one. If you have then congratulations. Very Happy
gil

Laughing

Just imagine quite a lot of [now] outdated filing, randomly heaped all over the floor, though some of it is crucial, 'permanent' paperwork, and on no account to be thrown out.
I've been meaning to get round to sorting it for years.
sean

If you call it 'recycled paper insulation' you can leave it up there for ever and feel good about doing so. Just a thought.
toggle

i have boxes for paperwork.

i've now reduced it down to haivng them in 2 counties by moving to the location of some of the boxes.

nothing is sorted.

a significant percentage of the pile i'm looking at is from my lawyer

i forsee it growing significantly before this crap is done
