Totally relate to the post problem, even though nearly all our bills are paperless now, I still seem to accumulate a giant pile of stuff I don't want to deal with - great idea to convert a cereal box, I love recycling.

It's going to be a long slow recovery but we'll get there in the end.<br /><br />Shoshi #34Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-13657880900616005922017-02-23T09:10:55.348+00:002017-02-23T09:10:55.348+00:00Thanks for lovely comment about the amethyst.

Some parts go to the garbage, some to the shred pile, some to the file box, and some to be paid. Most our mail goes to the shred pile, so much junk! Curly Wurlys sound interesting. Almost looks like a big pretzel from your picture!

I bought this "bill organizer" and so far I've just been stuffing things into it. Sort of like your cereal box! At least everything is in one place......<br /><br />We haven't had any snowflakes since the weekend. It's starting to feel like Spring and I had a robin at the house yesterday.

I don't have a mail system lol (no sort of orgnaising system at all) so it all gets shoved into a pile until I decide I need to find something then I scramble through it in a mad hunt. I must admit to having chocolate on/near my desk too - usually it doesn't make the photo lol.<br /><br />Happy WoYWW<br />Sharon K #31Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039174572211086359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-56868895704593665702017-02-22T13:25:56.638+00:002017-02-22T13:25:56.638+00:00Hi Julia, I have to say that a huge amount of our ...Hi Julia, I have to say that a huge amount of our post just ends up getting any names/addys torn off and shredded, and the rest goes in recycling. Only a very small portion makes it to the filing cabinet upstairs. There will be some more outdoor work getting done here now then weather is getting warmer and there is more light.

I did wonder if you had taken your favourite cereal to the retreat until you explained. It's coincidence I know but we've just bought a new letter rack for just those reasons you mention. It's now on the hall table looking much more organised. Would love to see your re-purposed box when done. Looking forward too to seeing your layouts when you have something to whine about! :) Have a wonderful week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #30 (up 5 from last week!)
