Hello again. Thanks for the understanding towards yesterday's whinge. I think he knows not to push me too far now .
I got no real practical housework done yesterday. I reorganised Ed's toy storage under the attic stairs. It if official, Ed has too much stuff.
It's not that he is spoilt or that he gets everything he wants, I just buy sensibly The vast majority of the stuff, particularly boxed games, have been picked up from charity shops for next to nothing (Eg Don't Wake Dad and Buckaroo 50p each, Pop up Pirate 30p) Plus I'd rather he had something tangible rather than a packet of crisps etc.
I'm also dead anal at storage. Games of small cards get transfered into those IKEA Glis hinged boxes. Cards don't get lost and games are around for a lot longer.
So Yesterday afternoon I reorganised containers of stuff. Created a container for jigsaws, passed one game on, threw one away and felt better about getting the piles of stuff sorted. Yesterday evening I spent sewing his Geko up to stop the stuffing coming out.
This morning I procrastinated no more and got on with the jobs I didn't do yesterday. So
