shredder

hee hee

We have been hard at work preparing our new office!

Uni has put the termite damaged walls back together and cleaned the horrible carpet downstairs.

Today he cleaned the walls down with sugar soap in preparation for painting. That reminds me that I need to go down and take a photo of his progress.

Meanwhile I am upstairs arranging all our stuff into suspension files for the new filing cabinet that we bought.

I have completely filled it now and am very happy with how organized everything is!

I could probably do with another filing cabinet or a bookshelf or bookcase for a few more things I need to find space for but we can deal with that when we come to it.

I have a bit of space cleared on my desk now which I may be able to use to try out my new computer!

It is hard to work on things when there is no room available!!

Today we had a tasty morgans lunch by the beach before all heading off to get our haircut ... so now we all look fabulous.

Oh just remembered the shredder ...

It is a piece of office equipment that I bought along with suspension files etc... so that I can shred bank documents etc that I no longer want to keep filed. I have been cutting these up with scissors to avoid sharing personal information, but was finding my hands were getting sore.

So now I have a very cheap 5 sheet shredder which after a few teething troubles, jams and hiccups I now run one sheet of folded paper through at a time and it works perfectly! LOL!!!

Although one sheet at a time sounds tedious it is still quicker for me to feed 10 sheets through individually than cut up that many into bits myself ... and it also makes perfect sized paper worm food!

I have to unjam the shredder when it does jam using a long pair of tweezers from my sewing kit, a small thin metal ruler and a folded out or straightened out safety pin.
