Don't try this at home ;o)

Hello. I keep getting distracted, do you? I have a list of things I want to do, I walk about the house, pick up stuff, find something else that needs attention, and off I go on another tangent. Yesterday I dismantled the old home made greenhouse, now there is a pile of rotten wood waiting to be taken to the dump. It's raining today so that job will have to be put on hold. Not sure when the dump is open over the Bank Holiday weekend, will have to check the council web site. 
This morning I am up and down like a fiddlers elbow. feeding animals, looking in crafting books for pictures of small cottages for the landscape, tracing them onto paper, and searching for suitable materials to make them. Then I came across a peak cap which I forgot I had. I have just lost my union jack sun visor so this cap will be butchered to make a new one. Another job on the list. I went to the Scrapstore again on Wednesday, two ladies from the club wanted to go. Now I need to put away the stuff I bought, which was more fabric for shopping bag making, and scrap that could be used for my new hobby of book making. Don't know when I am going to get round to doing that. On top of all these jobs to do I am itching to get off on a long walk, which might happen soon. My new Railcard has not arrived so I've had to chase that up.  
So, all this buzzing around in my head and what do I do?  I had another idea to try, a daft idea really, but it might work, but then it might not. I have an abundance of shredded paper. I could bag it up and send it off with the council recycling lorry, sometimes I compost it, but what about turning it into a type of cat litter and mixing it with the bagged stuff I buy. What I really need is a cross shredder but I haven't got one. So, what else have I got that chops things into small pieces? I know, a food processor. I load some into it and whizz it for a few seconds. 
Nope, that didn't work. It twisted itself around the centre spindle.

What about starting it off by chopping it up a bit smaller with a large pair of scissors.

Nope, that didn't work either, just made a lot of dust. Oh well, back to the drawing board. I'll put this job on hold for a while, with all the other jobs mounting up.

Now what was I doing before I let my mind wander, must try and focus. Tummy rumbling, almost time for lunch, need to use up some eggs. Stopped raining so dog wants a walk. I need to make a list. Must get on. Helen D, I need your address please. Got your's Caz, will be posting next week.
Have a nice weekend. I'm not going anywhere, would rather stay at home when everyone else is out on the road.
