Clean and tidy

Grit is pleased. Grit is smug. Thanks to not getting distracted every two minutes by Tiger, Shark and Squirrel, Grit has been able to apply herself properly to today's task in the Independent No Diet. And she has brought shape and structure to Thursday.

In fact Grit has achieved something today that she has been too distracted, lethargic and can't-be-arsed to do for the last two years. She has cleaned up her desk. Grit is even now looking for the bison sweeping across the great plains of emptiness around her keyboard after removing a 30cm pile of paper layered over the vast acreage of fake wood. It is sad to say that for the last two years she has propped the keyboard up on this paper cemetery and it has been very uncomfortable. But now, thanks to the Independent No Diet, she has optimised her flexibility, ignored the children, surely lost a pound in weight and achieved no-desk-clutter success!

Look! Grit's desk Before!

And Grit's desk After!


Unfortunately, to celebrate, Grit is drinking a large glass of white wine and contemplating that last year's home-made plum jam goes very well on toast.

go on....now show us the box under the desk you just swept the lot into.......or, did you do the ultamate, and sweep into a box, then displace the mess by moving the box into another room?

well alright then ... the pile of papers next door in the kitchen labelled 'to be filed' IS just a teensy weensy little bit higher... probably by about 30cm i'd say.
