[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 113168, member: 2211"] See, Linda, you are my hero. I have a filing system closer to HWGA. I toss all incoming junk mail and immediately shred unsolicited offers for credit cards. then I separate the mail - mine and H's. Mine goes into a countertop wicker file. H's goes on the top of his desk where it sits and begins to meld into the other crud lying there after a fews day and then H rummages through my stuff looking for the bill he claims I threw out. In my wicker countertop filing thingy there are big sections in the rear where I put stuff like catalogs I may be interested in or college books, etc. In my room I have a drawer file that is sectioned off with folders for appliance warrantees & manuals, divorce papers, old tax returns, medical files for each kid and myself, and a personal file for old writing I used to do as well as some really great papers I wrote in college. I go through that annually and clear out junk. Also in my room, on my bookshelf I have accordian files for each daughter. These files contain their entire academic information, as well as any current or upcoming college information. When our home addition is complete, my hope is that I can find an old large two drawer file cabinet for all this stuff so I can keep it all together in the basement, next to my memory box, which holds all the special things from my daughters' babyhoods and up through the grades all those wonderful little pictures and books they made and every card they ever gave me, my first wedding dress and photo album, and some other stuff the girls may want one day. I bought an organizer this year and I have been using it. I plan each day and make lists and check things off. So far, so good. It has a pocket where I am keeping my bills so H can't rummage through them when he's lost one of his own! The wicker thing will become a simple holder of miscellaneous crud that I can clean out once a month after the excitement of "maybe I will look at that" has worn off! I used to be REALLY organized and now I'm getting back into it. [/QUOTE]
