Oh No. I'm in Trouble Again.

[snuffer]

The rule in the study is; If it is on or next to the shredder then it is for shredding. (You can already guess where this is going can't you). Yesterday Mrs snuffer was clearing out her desk. All of the unwanted papers were going into a box next to the shredder ready for shredding.

Today I put all those papers through the shredder, bagged them up and put them in the shed ready for mixing in with the green stuff going into the compost bin. Was surprised to find a huge bag of shreddings already in the shed but thought no more about it.

At about 3 o'clock Mrs snuffer rings from work. Would I fetch from the study a very important piece of paper so that I can relay some piece of information to her. Yes ofcourse says I where is the paper? In the box next to the shredder says Mrs snuffer. Not any more it aint says I.

If you don't hear from me for a while It'll be because the hospital doesn't have internet access for patients.

Still haven't told her dishwasher caught fire earlier today. (See Don't Panic thread).

Anyway, Piskie's right, should have been put away shouldn't it?!

Oh dear, poor you! Now most times I would take sides with the woman because that is what us girls are suposed to do! Not this time I feel sorry for you snuffer, it could only happen to you, bless. Tell her if she had to put the papers near the shredder she should have put a note on them saying do not shred!
Bless up snuffer hope she is not too hard on you!

[SueA]

Oh dear Snuffer, I'd just stop trying to be helpful if I was you!

Oh heck. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Whatever you say will be the wrong thing. Might as well get used to it!
