It's a standing joke in our office that if you want anything "officy" then ask Caroline. I love Office World and all those massive superstores dedicated to the office we've now got here in the uk!

I don't want to have to worry about every speck of mess. I have stacks everywhere. Someday it will be put away. I have an Aunt that keeps her house very clean, but don't look inside of her closets. The closets is where she keeps everything, including her cookbooks.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900600731051775847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-4502709710787201092009-03-30T06:17:00.000-07:002009-03-30T06:17:00.000-07:00Hi Linda! :)I'm sad to say it, but I worked Saturd...Hi Linda! :)<BR/><BR/>I'm sad to say it, but I worked Saturday and my whole house is a mess!
