Good morning all, I am (hopefully) going to go through my box file of paperwork as it is so full I can't get current paperwork in there!!!
Will also sort through my pile of mags xx

Morning all

I'll add the new people to the list in a bit.

Just need to get my flylady dailies done and then I'm starting with the kitchen paper hotspot.

I hope you all have the lovely sunshine we have here to inspire (and not distract you with gardening Hex!- well I might do HH pruning the roses when I've finished my paper tasks;))

Morning all!

I'm in please! I will start today by finishing the filing (started a couple of weeks ago and recycled or burned all the rubbish) which is currently in two plastic bags (nearly one now) waiting to be sorted alphabetically into my freegle filing cabinet.

Love the idea of this thread and not too busy this week so will hopefully achieve loads!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

1st Paper Monday
Anything to do with paperwork/photos/boxes of cards/kids pictures/books/magazines etc
Remember some paperwork needs to be kept for certain periods of times
Shread confidential waste - this can be used in the compost/wormery; for pet bedding or packing up those ebay sales you will be making later in the week.
Please recycle all other paper where possible.

and we're off....will report back as I go along.:D

Yay, I found you.
I have 2000-2003 paperwork to get rid of today. It will be used for fire lighting.
I also have a massive pile of magazines to sort through and a box of papers for filing. Just need to do a bit more in the kitchen then I will be on to it.
