After 3 trips to the tip and the smaller shed full, there still didn&#8217;t seem to be much room in the big shed for all his stuff.  It looks like we need another shed already.  Not a bad idea, somewhere to keep the growing number of toys Morgan has and hopefully make a bit more room for Al, and let me have my beach\/guest room back!<\/p>\n<p>Morgan had a nice weekend, making the most of the nice weather.  He was a big help clearing out the shed but got a bit tired by lunchtime so I used that as an excuse to let Al get on with putting everything back.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this space, I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;ll be more sheds to come.  What I want to know though is why we ever bothered to keep some of the stuff we threw out at the weekend.  We didn&#8217;t have to think twice about much of it, it was clearly rubbish so why was it in the shed?  We must be more ruthless in future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do we manage it!!??
