More paper

[rmc28]

I've managed to keep up the habit for the last two weeks of opening and dealing with the post each day. I will keep the paper under control! 

Also yesterday I tackled another heap of paper elsewhere in the house.  I really wish I'd taken a before picture, so it would be worth taking an after ...

( Clearing the bookcase I'm trying to remove. It got long. )

End result:

• one low shelf (where child can reach) on a different bookcase now has:
  • all the completely untouched activity magazines (lots)
  • two pots, of crayons and pencils respectively
  • other art materials sorted into two clear stackable boxes topped by a couple of pads of paper
• The shelf above has:
  • one pile of my magazines to read
  • one pile of my husband's magazines
  • one pile of "current" magazines we both read, plus the current special offer flyer
• four shelves have been removed from the bookcase I'm trying to empty (to discourage refilling)
• a vast pile of paper/magazines/card has gone into the recycling bin
• a small pile of plastic has gone into the general waste bin
• the bookcase is tantalisingly close to empty now, but I need to work out where the remaining stuff can go
• my previously half-empty desk is now full of stuff to sort out that didn't belong in the living room :-(
