Recycling

We recycled big time today, me and the littler boy. He loves going and shoving all those milk cartons into the big bin. He will need to grow a bit to take on the glass and the cans. Last time we went the wasps were out in force and it was a dangerous activity! A friend suggested recently that we should be dumping all our glass at the bottom of the ocean and allowing nature to take its course. I am so into recycling that I do not really get into the debate about the cost of recycling and if there is a better way. Maybe I need to be a little more informed in my path to maladjustment.
We start a two week school holiday today. Really feel like we need it. Our little girl has just finished her first term at school. I would love to say that she had taken to it like a duck to water but sadly no. She has been a little "maladjusted" to the whole process but a few stressful incidents for us all and an hour of me in a meeting with both the headteacher and the depute head has hopefully set her (and us!) back on track.
I ordered "Unplug the Christmas Machine" last night. I am eagerly awaiting it's arrival. Had to order a new copy as all the second hand ones were coming from the US. I just could not wait that long. Here's to some time to read and dare I say relax over the next fortnight!! Maybe even check out some of the charity shops I keep mentioning.
