Or we could even have a south-east get together at the same time if anyone else is interested (and if I've sorted out my baking stuff by then , I can hand it over to you... deadlines are good for me!)

Might be an idea to see if people who can't make it to the one up north would like a meet down south - I'd be up for it!

Not done any flying today :rolleyes: but had a great day at work - the children were really good and got loads done Then I went to Rainbows at the church for the first time which was fun I'm going to help out there as often as I can!
Need to sort out my list for the weekend now :eek:

Would have been good if I had logged on to see you - doh! did tidy up and get DS to load dishwasher - but I think Greenbees right, I need sleep... I'm going to finish watching NCIS and go to bed (I think there is a TV theme going on here?)

Pigpen - I know we should all be on top of the paperwork on our desks, but for some reason, people will insist on sending us more of it! If we can work out how to stop it then we'll really be making progress :rolleyes:

Tape up your letter box and instruct the postman to bin everything.. redirect your mail to jupiter (or my MIL PMSL!!) Or simply bin everything.. I have resolved to keep NOTHING except the appointment letters and the most current catalogue & bank statement.. and the lakeland catalogue.. the rest is binned.. I don't even open most of it any more!

***trembling with fear at thought of nothing in the filing cabinet***
When I got my lovely filing cabinet I had a major shredding session and got rid of loads of bank statements - then ex OH (we were divorced but not financially separated) took me to court and I had to go online to get copies of them all to file before the court...cos I had to complete Form E - so I do save stuff but it is organised...

If you want to stop the junk mail write ' Not known at this address' or 'gone away' and bung it back in the post...you come off the mailing list eventually

But if you are not going to be in that situation again you don't need them!!!

I would like to say a huge thank you to my little girl who has really entered into the spirit of this challenge.

Yes - but I need my insurance docs, passports, birth certificates, decrees absolute etc etc and I need to keep them somewhere...
