Hotspot #2 - paper clutter...

this is an excellent one for me. we have so much paper clutter all over the place. along with a bunch of receipts that we keep and are supposed to be logging in a book to help us better organize our finances, but we havent done the "logging in to book" stage in a few weeks. we were lucky enough to find a free credit counsellor who can help us out really close to where we live, but they are quite busy, so our next appointment isn't until april 6th. and we had to cancel our last appointment because my husband was sick. ok let me start again: we had our first appointment back in january. it went really well and we were both very motivated and very overwhelmed. i don't think either of us were aware of our debts and how we should be distributing our income. we went home and started this weekly budget-date-night that she recommended for us. i think we did it twice. then our feb appointment was cancelled because this counsellor had quit and moved on. then our appointment at the beginning of march was the one my husband was too sick to go to. so we wait for april. but really we should be getting to the receipts this week.. as it totally falls in synch with the hotspot #2. we also have lots of papers that need shredding AND i really like the idea of scanning or photographing a paper and then getting rid if it too.. so wish me luck.. i will post some pics shortly.
