Time Files

I have been working on the remains of a massive paperwork purge (a small stack of files and documents) for the past 2 weeks now and they are starting to wear me down. 

Hubby and I had managed to file most of the past 2 years of household documents in the bonfire pile and some documents we need to keep in ring binders. Now it's just the nitty gritty - manuals, receipts, and some kids art and momentos. It's this stuff I am really struggling to find a home, it doesn't fit neatly into binders and it is likely to be kept for a while, so it's been a case of how and where to store it.

I'm ready to just dump it all in a box and slap a label on it, but I get the feeling if I do that, then it will get thrown in the storage shed never to see the light of day and never to be found - like when I need to find the receipt for the chainsaw or the instruction booklet for the home ventilation system.

I need a better system - a storage solution and a place to store these documents in the house. Oh and the other thing I need to solve this dilemma is - it has to be free. I have no budget for this project and to top it off my trusty labeller is not functioning, which is a real bummer.  I do like a nice neat label :-(

I'm not giving up on this project. I refuse to let the stack of paperwork win. I will have a brainstorming session and come up with a plan of attack for tomorrow. I can't let another week pass with that stack taunting me!
