eww!

Yesterday I cleaned out my study. I do this periodically, usually when the pile of papers on my desk has reached about one foot high and have then spread themselves onto the floor. My husband, who likes things neat, rarely sets foot inside. It's a great hiding place for yet to be given presents.

Anyway, I was a little over zealous with the cleaning and discovered within about ten minutes of my recycling box being emptied into the large yellow bin outside that a somewhat crucial piece of paper had disappeared, presumably into the bin. It was cold and dark, so I waited til this morning, put some gloves on and dug through the bin. Thankfully it didn't take too long to find and the smell was only mildly disgusting.

All in all I think this is a sign that I ought to clean less.

Hahaha. I think your study sounds like the desk in our bedroom. And I'm thinking we need to do something about it soon too.

Our latest 'go through the bin' episode was actually the recycling bin (so not quite so disgusting) because we feared that our iPod had accidentally ended up in it!! Thank goodness, it was found but was actually found elsewhere.

Luke is 15 months now and has begun the toddler task of re-distributing household items. I'm enticipating that sooner or later we're going to have to go rummaging through the bin for something he's 'posted'.
