What’s On Your Workdesk? Wednesday 868

 My Workdesk is a neglected mess which is not unusual I know, but it will be put right presently, I have a pressing need to make a birthday card for tomorrow. Deadlines, so inspiring.

My sister and her granddaughter had a hand printing session at the weekend and I was allowed to keep the not so good ones…but I had done the same with Piper (age 4) a couple of weeks previously and we’d used 12x12 paper so I could use it as a scrapbook page base. Sometimes, just sometimes, I’m on it! 
I bought a new Raskog trolley when in IKEA last week.
There it is patiently waiting to have all the stuff from the old one transferred. I haven’t done it for several reasons, the most apposite being that I should take the time to purge all the scraps etc that live in the top layer. Despite having them on hand, there’s a few colours and patterns that I constantly overlook so it’s time to let them go. I haven’t bought it on a whim, the existing trolley has collapsed wheels and despite the middle shelf being empty, it won’t stay in position, the nuts have failed and despite several mendings, now the struts need to be drilled to take bigger bolts but they’re too narrow. Argh. 
And then there’s this that has kept me away from anything but admin - honestly I’ve spent two whole days in phone calls and form filling for a ‘no fault’ accident, 
and today it’s a week since it happened and I still don’t have the ‘courtesy car supplied in 24 hours’. There’s a feeling of being had over the whole repair thing too; I think I’ll blog separately about it, see if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Meanwhile, go look at other, interesting and active desks, much more fun than reading my whining (sorry). Join us over at Sarah’s for a bunch of interesting links.

So sorry to hear about the car but glad you’re ok. My trolley in my sewing room gets used every day….it is my best buy especially as Dod fitted the little ironing board to the top…..oh and of course it had a good clean/dust during the Christmas break so it’s all sorted now 😀
Hugs,
