    RANDOM - Filing!

    Hi all,

    I'd like to consider myself fairly organised and tidy. Not obsessive but but with a small kitchen and several times whilst at uni i managed to organise my "stuff" pretty well........but one thing i cant seem to get as organised......

    paperwork!

    I don't like to keep things for the sake of it but i'm forever getting stressed about losing receipts guarentees and things I'm suppose to keep. I bought some little filing things from wilkos but they don't seem big enough?

    So really any suggestions would be really helpful and I'm sure hubby would appreciate it too!!

    Oh and every bill that can be paperless is so I don't have that much but seem to lose stuff or take ages to find it.

        I've got 2 lever arch files and a heap of punched pockets to keep my stuff in but a couple of these may be handy for you -

                  She tries (bless her) but Handy's probably one of the most disorganised people you will ever meet.

                  Unless I go into Military Mode, then just watch me go.
                  Normally starts a row though.

                  I'm always getting told "If you put it away then you would find it"
                  My reply is "If you remembered where you had moved it to for me, then I could find it".

                  OK It's a MAN thing

                        LOL
                        My OH can't find things if they're in full view. We're doing the house up and everytime I bring up what the next job is he looks askance and says "What??? Why do we need to do that???" So the other day I (finally) lost my patience and told him he was losing the plot.
                        I then did a big A3 sheet with black felt tip writing, headed "THE PLOT" , wrote all the jobs down that we have to do before they come to rip the kitchen out in November, and stuck it on the wall next to the pc monitor.

                        Did he see it???? Answers on a postcard

                        With regards to filing, I have one of those drawer units from Ikea..a bit bigger than A4 size with loads of drawers, so about 30" high (similar to this:

                        http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40107872/ )

                        I use the top as a dumping drawer for new stuff I've read but not sorted, then sort into the other drawers when I've got time.

                            great sheperhdess - i liked the thought of the ones recommended on amazon by having looked at what we've got i don't think they'll be big enough - manuals and guarentees etc are aplenty!

                            thanks so much everyone!! i half way there i reckon!

                              I scan online and drag-drop into the relevant folder, within a folder directory. Access it online or via desktop (URL would be similar to http://www.yourdomain.com/FOLDERNAME/word" . doc )

                              Easiest, safest and simple....
