We're taking a bit of a breather while the world rearranges its underpants. Meanwhile, the other blog is here.

I want to give it you babe but I can't get it down from the wardrobe

Month seventeen in the Big Brother House and things have gone a bit quiet on the rearranging the furniture front...

It has been noted that there are still boxes in the way of the sofas we haven't bought yet. Which is just as well as they couldn't go there anyway because Maudie and Maisie haven't been able to move their desks to the alloted space because that bit of room is still chock full of the desk that's been appropriated for piling up the spare paper left lying about by Mary and T.Aldous. Oh, and the correspondence trays. And the boxes of paper. And... oh you get the idea.


We still have a pile of old new stock in boxes that haven't seen the light of library. There are constant complaints from Librarians that there is "too much stock." Some of the same Librarians are blocking attempts by Mary, Frog and Bronwyn to allow loan packs to teachers. And there are stirrings that "we need to stock edit" the stock that Mary, Frog and Bronwyn are trying to loan to teachers.

Noreen says:

"I don't know why they don't just cut out the middle man and have us rip the title page out and put the stock straight into book sale as soon as we've received and paid for it."

You appear to have too many boxes. You obviously need a box-ticking exercise to undertake.

I have every expectation that we'll be boxing ticks soon.

"Cut out the middle man", great idea. You could also fold down the the corners of pages wherever there's a risqué bit, and maybe interleave a few bus tickets and jam sandwiches as bookmarks.

Don't mention boxes. Someone who shall be nameless believes clearing clutter means putting them in cardbosrd boxes and he is still mourning the fact that he can no longer get them from super markets.
A pox on boxes say I!

Gadjo: so that's you is it?

Pat: we can let you have some if you want!
