Wow @delishtreats …
”I’ve filed more than 300 bills/statements/letters in the binders. It must be clear that those papers were in envelopes before.”
… I certainly can sympathize with getting behind on stuff like this. But … 300!? Well, hopefully they had all been paid and you didn’t go without basic services. At least … Not for too long … 😉
”I ended up hurting my back, so I didn’t sleep properly for two nights in a row. And I still have that lump on my head.”
… and paper cuts. Sounds ”brutal” but somebody’s gotta do it, so good for you! I imagine you feel a considerable sense of accomplishment. If papers go back to 2016, this has been on the “to do” list for awhile …
”My husband is back at home and he is very happy with the result – or at least he pretends to be which is enough for my satisfaction 😊”
Well, we can certainly see, among his other fine attributes, your husband is wise … 😉
So, you ended up with 100 EUR note for your troubles, plus the sense the accomplishment … ”All is well that ends well!” 👍
P.S. Any progress on your dream of opening a restaraunt?
Hahaha, they've been all paid. We have quite a good system with the payments.. there was just no solution for the filing part :) You can get into problems quickly if you don't pay your bills here.. you get on the 'black list' and you may face issues if you (for example) would want to rent an apartment because owners check this list or if you need to get new work permit..
Well, we have split the responsibilities at home. He needs to take care of the papers because if I take care of them then I will throw them away :) This is why it took so long.. he simply doesn't have time for these minor things which make ME crazy so I took it in my hands :) Oh, and yes, it is a great accomplishment. I sat there all evening and enjoyed the 'new' room :D
Hahaha, he is very wise and he usually know what to say :)
Exactly! If I don't count the cuts, lump on my head and hurting back then it was a successful mission :)
PS: I will know more on the 3rd of June...
Whoa @delishtreats, a "black list"?! Sounds very unpleasant, so glad to know you aren't on it ... 😉
Here in our home, the battle with the "paper monster" goes on, day by day ... Applying my skillset to the challenge, we have attempted to go largely paperless and file anything worth keeping away electronically.
Just two "teeny, weeny" problems:
Okay, well "no pain, no gain" is an old saying here, although I think it is baloney ... And we'll look forward to hearing further developments on your dream, after the 3rd ...
Have a great day (evening) "over there!" 😊
