Clutter doesn’t bother me, explains much ?

I love a clutter free house,we dont have ornaments at all,well one Buddha and sometimes a vase for flowers but nothing that needs dusted .I like a good clear out and reglraly chuck stuff out ,behind my OH's back because he is a bit of a hoarder .I dont get attached to "things" which helps.I still lose things though,I bought a charm for my neices birthday and for the life of me cant remember where I put it,no doubt its with the bracelet bought for GD's birthday 2 weeks ago which has also gone awol .Be a nice surprise for them when I find them .

I have specific places for my car and house keys. I would love to be clutter free but I doubt if that will ever happen. I have no idea where anything is- it will be in one pile or another- who knows? Any offers?

I have a good memory so yes I could find my v5 in a nano second, I know where my car keys are at any given moment but I don't have filing cabinets or labeled boxes etc But I did once chuck 80 quid in the kitchen bin while dashing about but retraced my steps and found it again hours later. These days I live alone so have only my own clutter to deal with which is generally put away quite rapidly, it's harder when you live with others to stay on top of everything.

Today my head and mind is in a shambles..just come home from work.
When I went out this morning I had £15 tucked away in my phone case..somehow during the morning around 7-30 ish when I was buying my lunch for later.. must have pulled it out along with my card and obviously someone has picked it up.

Yesterday I lost my ID badge for work .emptied drawers pockets( I had washed my uniform so emptied my pocket and always put pocket contents in a dish to put back in
later)
My house is a bit untidy as in drawers/cupboards etc but the look of the house is tidy (well tidy enough) smile
I seem to be rushing/dashing about trying to look afetr everybody which I really dont mind.

But do you have filing cabinets/folder/labelled boxes...could you go right now and find your V5 for your car/your car insurance or the bit of paper with that important telephone number on.

I am determined to sort my mind out as well as just throwing things down on the worktop then miss laying them.

I found my ID badge in a bag I had took to work but then thrown some duster in the bag...grrrrrrr...

What works for you..? hints n tips welcome smile

Have you ever lost an amount of money,I now have to work 2 free hours to re couperate my loss
Off out now (If I can find my car keys) confused
