    You are all such an inspiration!!
    I was sitting reading through all the posts and was thinking about my filing cabinet full of stuff, all in different files and all mixed up.
    Well I left my computer and went to sort it out.
    I ended up with a practically full recycling bin, full of old insurance papers, old statements, old bills, loads of stuff I just didn't need anymore, all of which I shreaded of course. I now have a neat and tidy filing system, containing only the stuff I need and all in their own seperate files, depending on what it is. I actually had to check when my M.O.T was due today and went straight to the "car file". I feel like my mind is less cluttered now because of it too.

    I also managed to throw out a pile of Jiffy bags that I had saved "just in case!". I'm enjoying this decluttering lark now!!
    I'm so sorry if you were enjoying this thread and mine is the last post!!

    I seem to have a nasty habit of killing threads!
