Sorting Out!!

Today's mission was to sort out Little Prince's toy boxes, which had started to explode and were taking over the lounge! It took hours, and I filled a bin liner with broken bits and unidentifiable bits and cr*ppy bits!! I have also packaged up loads of "still good but not currently played with" toys to go in the attic. If he misses them, I can get them down again, if not they will go to the charity shop in a month or so!! I had talked to Little Prince about my plans to do this, and despite being a total hoarder, he seemed quite happy about it!! He has been poking in the rubbish bin and objecting to some of the bits in there, but they are broken or the only piece left of a toy, so they are going anyway!! I can't believe how much more room there is in his toy box, and there are even some of the smaller storage boxes that don't have things in them!!
Mr Messy sanded down the painted jigsaw border in Little Prince's old room, and got a coat of white emulsion on it too. I used really bright primary colours for the border, so it needs toning down before we redecorate, or it will show through the new paint!! You can see what I mean from the picture lol. The crude black scribble is to cover up Little Prince's actual name on his toy box using my wonderful technical abilities!!! And the picture was taken not long after he moved in and still used a cot - don't worry he sleeps in a big boy bed now lol.
Hopefully that's me on the right after tomorrow's mission!! I am going to do the sorting thing in Little Prince's bedroom, as a LOT of downstairs toys have migrated up there! There are plenty of toys (like his Playmobil knights) where I know there should be more bits and I'm presuming they are up in his room as I can't find them anywhere down here!!
