Dh is a shocking paperwork hoarder and we end up moving around ie shipping of boxes and boxes of stuff. Like five year old flight e-tickets, hotel bills, electricity statements from the place we lived before the place we lived before this one. Newspaper clippings. School letters. Email printouts. I just want to put a flamethrower to it. However I am sorting it while he's away on a trip so I would love a bit of advice.
What do I have to keep? Tax stuff and bank statements we have going back years.. back to when we lived in the UK, nearly ten years now, and that's all sacrosanct I know.
What else? We've got the last utility bills from the UK and the "paid off" bills from our store cards from that time.
Tell me -- can everything else go in the bin? What do you keep and what do you throw? It's maddening having to lug it all about. PLEASE tell me how you organise it because what with dh wanting to preserve every scrap and me wanting a bonfire I think I've lost the ability to think straight!
