    Why did I keep bank statements from 20016? payslips from 1998, and so on............

    Hubby is self employed so has to keep accounts info for 7 complete tax years, so we do the same for personal banking stuff too. We have 1 file of things that need keeping for longer, but everything else gets a once a year shred session.
    And yes, our shredder only works for a while before it gets the grump on and refuses to shred any more.

    Kitchen floor mopped, and I'm still not entirely sure what brought that burst of activity on.

    ATB shredding is WIP the shredder has stopped due to being too hot, I have over worked it.

    I have sorted paperwork, to contain the papers while working, one wash basket full for recycling, ie not personal details, one wash basket 3/4 for shredding, all wanted papers back in neat, label, date ordered.

    I have as much "paperwork" in digital format as I possibly can, so all I have to dispose of is the oldest year's computer file. I suspect there may be some ancient and venerable paperwork still in the loft though; unfortunately, I can't get up there to take a look. :(
