need to decide on the most effective way of storing personal docs (passports etc). any thoughts?

We have a large plastic box that has different sections in it and we use it to keep personal documents and bills in. Go through it once every 6 months ish to clear out and update.

Thanks so much to everybody who replied to my plea. :T:T:T

Declutters I'm sorry that my post got dumped into the miiddle of yours. I feel as if I've been shoved into a room where a meeting was already going on and been made to interrupt it and ask my question.

How rude! :eek:

So massive apologies for that.

My daughter wants to thin out her things, she knows the to and fro will be easier if her stuff is more streamlined, and she's Ok with our youngest using her room while she's away, but she's struggling with making every choice.

I'll get her to read all the replies tomorrow and see if that helps her.

Thank you all so much. :T:T:T

Woohoo! Actually managed to do something about clutter in the house - needed to find a cheque that "I-had-put-down-to-sort-it-later" and along the way...........

24 dead batteries to recycle
pile of paperwork shredded
old school notices - recycled
135:eek: clothes hangers offered on freegle
2 window sills cleared of dead pot plants

See I told you the only thing that motivates me is when I have lost something!lol.

Took 5 boxes to the charity shop of curtains which wont fit any windows. Thats alot of curtains.

Think we had been saving them since 1955, some really gross ones in there!

Not so much in during the last week, we went away for a few days for our anniversary and as we haven't had a holiday this year and OH came back with a few little bits for his railway and I bought nothing at all, and just bought back the posh Temple Spa toiletries from the room as I really liked them and promise to use them and not just stash them!

I'm going to have Thursday off as flexi and take a days holiday next week & try and use both to really crack the cleaning and tidying and decluttering as I really want to get the house back on the market.
