    No chance to catch up yet on the thread will do later.

    I am so excited! :j :j :j :j :j I have finally finished sorting and filing my paperwork from 2005 all neatly stored in folders and I know where everything is now:D :D:D

    4 carrier bags stuffed full of unopened envelopes :o now all open and declutted into the recycle bin, shredding bags and folders.

    3 full bags of shredding to do when I empty it - how long will that take??? Ages I guess...:confused:

    I can finally move on from this part of my life when I ignored everything to a new part where I face up to things with tidy desk drawers all organised and a new found certainty of when things are paid off and how much I owe.

    Off to catch up on the thread now whilst watching Shall We Dance on DVD with Fred n' Ginge. They don't make 'em like that any more!
