October Habit #7 Here Is My Solution

Hi, FlyLady !

I’m drowning in paper clutter.

One of my problems is I save every credit card receipt to supposedly verify my monthly statement.

I pay for almost everything by credit card and eat out most days so I have about 55-60 receipts each month. Of course I can’t find them all when I get my statement so I just eyeball it and pay.

Here is my solution: Every evening, I write down the amount and store on my calendar for that day and throw out the receipt. When my statement arrives, it is easy to check off each transaction.

I hope this helps someone else !

Thanks, FlyLady, your ideas and encouragement are helping and giving me hope !!

Dear Fly Lady,

I wanted to send a quick testimonial and heart-felt word of thanks to you! I have been following you for about 36 hours now, and my world has changed!! My sink is so sparkling, I have drunk so much good water, my bathroom is swished and swiped, and my good HABITS are finally being born! And I finally have Hope!!

Most gratifying of all, though, was when my husband went to the sink to wash his sun-glasses this morning. “Wow!” he said, and his gaze was CAPTURED by the sink! He surveyed it all around quite involuntarily, he was so mesmerized, and couldn’t believe it! He told me that it makes him want to redo our whole kitchen for me! He never says anything like that.

Fly Lady, thank you!! Believe me when I tell you this is the first compliment I have ever received on my housekeeping in 18 years of marriage!! I’m looking forward to more!

God bless you.

Sincerely,

FlyBaby Lee
