I suppose it could be considered ironic that I spent a large portion of a Bank Holiday sorting and filing statements, payslips, cheques, etc. Still, a six-inch-high stack of paper went for recycling, and nearly everything else went in the filing cabinet, so I feel I achieved something useful.

I'm sure having to go through such huge piles of paper ought to teach me that I should just file things as I go along. However, given that it only took about an hour to file a heap of paper going back to June 2003, and doing all the filing in one go allowed me to get something useful done while watching the snooker, I can't really convince myself that it's a bad thing.

There are so many things I keep meaning to write about on LiveJournal. I think it's time for a poll, to ask my readership (dear readers!) what they want to read, out of the stuff that's currently wandering around in my head:

[Poll #288427]

I can't guarantee I'll actually get round to writing about any of these, but I'd be interested to know what people choose.

Focus-Do-It-All or whatever they're called this week have a 9.99 shredder. We got one. It's FUN! OK it can only do 5 sheets at a time and you're not supposed to let it get hot by running it for more than 4 minutes continuously, but what do you want for a tenner?

A couple of CDs? A couple of paperbacks? Two or three items of clothing from a charity shop? New pair of cheap fun shoes? A badger? "Shoe Barbie" plus some extra Barbie accessories? An eyelet-punching tool? A couple of packs of propeller pencils, because I always seem to lose them?

I think it's more of a meme if you don't try to start it...
