Destined never to get these books sorted out
07.09.04 (2:59 am)   [edit]
Well, today is day 2 of A.'s holiday and supposed to be day 1 of sorting and cataloguing our books - sad i know, but as we now have over 6000 books in our house, it has become necessary as i am having trouble remembering what i've got and they're starting to take over the living space. They badly need tidying up and it's driving me crazy!
What's happened so far instead is - he didn't get up til 10.30, he then got washed and dressed and went to the local shop to stock up on supplies ( he did buy me a bag of M&M's so a bit of leeway there! ), he came home, opened a bottle of cider and has now plonked himself in front of the tv and is playing Total Club Manager on the PS2. Aaarrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhh hhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He has been promising for nearly 2 months that we would sort the books out this week and for some reason i believed him. I should have known better :x Off to sulk quietly in a corner and eat chocolate!

The spray won't work - it's a complete waste of money. Try a mix of white vinegar and lemon juice on the spot!

Or if he's using the same spot, put his food there.

I tried that once when one of my older cats was doing the same thing - he just went and pooed in the dish! Not impressed at having to clean that up!

Now that is a lot of books! I don't think we have that many here, but we have kind of run out of space. However, I've never counted.

How are you going to organize them? What scheme? You'll have to excuse me, cataloging was one of my favorite classes at librarian school. I'm very curious how people organize their personal collections. Ours is very haphazard right now, but we too dream of organizing and cataloging it.

Someday!

Hmmm, don't know how to organise them at the mo, still thinking. This is all dependent on it all happening of course. Shall probaly just go with something simple along the lines of our bookshop organisation. Both A. and i work for a big chain of booksellers in the UK - although i'm on extended sick leave ie. indefinite - so we shall see. If it ever happens, i'll let you know how we did it.
