I'm finally back home after almost 5 weeks away and ready to go again. I was a bit worried that I'd lose my impetus to de-clutter whilst away, but thankfully that hasn't happened, and to make things even better I now have 1500 more reasons to keep going. Whilst I was away my son discovered that I have $1500 waiting for me in unclaimed monies from my late husband. Now all I have to do is find the folder with my husband's death certificate, passport and proof of residence which I kept from a previous claim. I know it is in a "safe place somewhere." Now that's a great incentive to start sorting out some of those boxes of old paperwork.

Off to a bit of a slow start since coming back from the west, but have found most of the papers I need to claim the $1500, just need to get late husband's death certificate and will from the solicitor and all set to go. So far over the past ten days I have deleted 116 emails, 4 mice, and recycled a total of 61 envelopes, grocery receipts and junk mail that my dear son accumulated while I was away. Total to date 1280 items out of my house.

]You deleted four mice? Computer mice or the other kind? [/quote] With an evil smile on my face, I baited the traps. Death came quickly. Four smelly, piddling constantly pooping little rodents deleted.
