Shredding is the most long-winded, boring job imaginable to me. <BR/>Our married daughter borrowed mine and as far as I am concerned she can keep it. The next time I have a heap of papers to get rid of I will burn them in a bin, inside our outhouse, or wherever.<BR/><BR/>It will no longer be a loss to the recycling authority because they no longer take shredded paper. It's too difficult for them to recycle, apparently.Stinking Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577508577062044906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036991473828087819.post-3214286052538542582008-02-04T14:25:00.000-08:002008-02-04T14:25:00.000-08:00expatmum - thank you, you're right, it's not neces...expatmum - thank you, you're right, it's not necessary to shed everything, and they would look great framed.<BR/><BR/>dusty spider - how come so many people seem to think it's OK to abandon a relationship and children?

Not sure the new way of "walk out rather than try and fix it" isn't damaging the next generation.<BR/><BR/>I too have kept my children's pasta paintings from school 30 odd years ago.
