Defragging Life...

Today is a weird day. This morning I was at a baby dedication, this afternoon I am at a 100th birthday 'do'. Tonight I'm at a town wide celebration.

In between this weekend I have begun the somewhat onerous task of sorting out the house. I have catalogued all my books: well all the ones in bookshelves. Its brought home to me how out of order all my stuff gets, as I've tidied shelves I've seen how everything just gets out of place. Loads of what needs doing is putting things back in some semblance of order.

I've also cleared one bureau, two drawers of stuff, one clothes drawer, and have started boxing up resources. Also labelled some stuff in the loft. I reckon I'm about 5% of the way there...

Its a little unsettling but needs doing. Next task, checking which CD's are loaded on itunes!

What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

For every £100 a month less income than the median you start school one month behind developmentally. Your vocabulary aged 5 is half what it is for a rich kid if you are in the bottom ten percent of income. Housing tenure stats are even worse. "Only 4 per cent of those of working age living in social housing have degrees, and nearly half have no or only low qualifications. Only half of men and 42 per cent of women of working age living in social housing are in paid work, compared with 89 per cent of men and 81 per cent of women in households with a mortgage." Social housing: by its nature, is grouped (london people ignore this, you are the freaks not the norm). That means that we have allowed ghettoes of poverty and low attainment (not just in a SATS way either). Now it would be easy, and some daft Tory has already done it, to pin this on
