What we've been doing today

Me and Little Miss Sensible got Little Prince to school, and as soon as we were home we started organising the piles of books all over the dining room into piles. We started off with fiction and non-fiction and gradually got more obsessive. We had a break at lunchtime, to go to a local cafe - much nicer than cooking ourselves and besides we had to go out and get bread anyway lol. When we got back we started putting all the organised piles onto the bookcases. After a LOT of faffing and changing shelves around we finally got all the books on the shelves. There was even room for the cupboard of books, that had never fitted on the shelves before!! We did have to take out all the videos we have, and make a list so we can replace them with dvds eventually. But we finally made it and now all the books are put away nicely, in an order and system that makes total sense to me and LMS but is probably totally incomprehensible to anyone else!!

I'll have to check out the new filing system for the books when I'm next over. It can't be any worse than the one used by Foyles book shop in London can it?

Hi Baby Bro
I have no idea what you mean about Foyles Book Shop!! But our filing system is great and makes perfect sense, to me and LMS anyway :-)
See you soon
