This week's decluttering challenge is your filing cabinet. Purge the papers that you've saved, but no longer need. File any papers that need filing. Add your numbers in this thread and at the end of the week we'll transfer them over to the 2009 in 2009 thread.

does it count if my hubby does it or do I have to do it? He handles all of the filing and record keeping and goes through it all about this time each year to make room for the new year. I would be the one that would have to count it all for this challenge though

we didn't get to this either...hubby didn't seem to thrilled when I mentioned it so not sure when it will get done. This is a big big task. We have two filing cabinets with 6 drawers total and my husband has a file for everything...I seriously mean everything and he does it for the current year each year.

I also:

threw away one pair of shoes

I wish I'd have written everything down last week...I figured I'd remember. Oh, well...I'll add as I think of things.
