Paperwork Part 1

Hello there. Hope you're feeling well today.

There comes a time in any adult's life where they face that pile that slowly builds in that long lost corner of the room. I have the day off, nothing to do, time to look at the pile of papers that's supposed to be gone in the age of the "paperless office". Here's the one and only IT hint I will give you. If somebody in IT tells how we will act in the future believe them. for it will happen. It will never ever happen however at the speed they will suggest.

So the pile. It begins with...

Supermarket coupons from Tesco: There was a time when this was a big deal. But that's long since gone since the advent of Aldi/Lidl. Still every little helps. Pile for the wife to deal with as she's cooking Christmas Day dinner (don't forget I'm working Christmas Day morning).

Domino Pizza Leaflet: Apparently they have a new " Italiano " range which is described as a "new Italian Inspired Menu". I can't help thinking of movies which describe themselves as "based on real events". For the recycle paper box.

A note: 8oz butter,8oz Caster Sugar,Flour,4 eggs,2 tsp Baking Powder. Absolutely no idea. Wife's handwriting. She'll have to deal with this.

notonthehighstreet.com Christmas Gift Guide 2016: A "paper" gift guide please note. Like UKIP emigrating to Brussels. Pile for the wife to look at.

Leekes Conservatory catalogue: As if since winter's coming that's the first thing on people's minds. Recycle paper box.

Home Insurance Renewal Papers: Have just come in today. I will need to deal with it but it looks cheap enough

Cultural Tours leaflet: Go round the world and watch your pound disappear more quickly because of Brexit. Recycle box.

Ambassador Silver Plate Wound Student Violin Set: Daughter doesn't do the violin anymore. Bin.

MPN UPVC Windows & Doors: Bin. Bin. Bin.

Seaside News Free Newspaper: Read it. Bin

Ocado.com: Uninterested. Bin.

Sovereign Paradise Found Family Holidays: See above.

A note (2): ITV The Harbour. Wife has seen it. Bin.

Letter From Electricity Company With A Leaflet Of "Important Information":Doesn't look important . Looks like glossy rubbish. But, well, better keep it.

Costco Letter Including Vouchers: Definitely for the wife pile this

Wife's Tesco Optician Prescription: We've been to the big supermarket more for opticians than groceries. For the wife pile.

Christmas Song Sheet: With Ding Dong Merrily On High and Jingle Bells. Feel like hiding it until 1st December. Will give it to daughter though.

New Coop Membership Card: Two of these for me and the wife. Like that the new Coop logo is the old Coop logo. Wonder if there was a consultant who earned a lot of money doing that.

Christmas Ideas At Ableworld: These "ideas" include a stairlift. If I needed one and somebody got me this for Christmas I would use all my remaining physical strength to attack the gift giver. Bin.

H Samuel Christmas Catalogue: Wife says she has too much jewellery...yes really......bin

Aldi/Lidl/Nisa Christmas Catalogue: Glistening wine, shiny Christmas puudings,succulent Turkeys. Are the people who picture these for a living food pimps? Wife's pile.

Note of a female phone number: Not for me in case you're wondering. Wife pile.

Matalan Presents Christmas: Really? Anyway it's an out of date voucher. Bin.

St Davids Hall Leaflet: with forthcoming attractions......in September. Justin Hayward and his Knights in White Satin have long since gone. Bin.

Old Supermarket (Nisa) leaflet: Bin

Note on my next dental appointment:Definitely save!!! Teeth getting better but still need care for the moment.

Menu for the local Indian Restaurant/Takeaway: To keep (specifically held by a magnet on the fridge). Wife/daughter like Indian food. I don't dislike it but prefer Italian. If I do eat Indian it's always mild....with chips.

Guarantee and papers: for the laptop I'm tapping on now. File.

£10 Cineworld Giftcard: No idea about this. Probably a birthday present for daughter. Wife pile.

0% Credit Card Offer from Halifax Bank: So they want to throw a credit card my way. Reminds me of the bubble before the crash. Bin. Linked also to.

Yorkshire Building Society Mortgage Offer Leaflet: Exactly the same thing as above. Bubble economics if you ask me

News From a Cardiff Bingo Hall For The Wife: She's only been to this place once. Bin.

Belated Birthday Card For Daughter From a Relative: She's seen it. Her birthday was in September. Bin.

Banco Santander/Trinity Mirror: From the days many decades ago when I believed that investing in shares was a good idea. Now I know better. Should sell these off when I get round to it. Had the Banco Santander shares when they were Alliance and Leicester...yes that long ago.

And that's it. Barely cut through the surface of the paper mountain. Part two will be called for. Probably on Friday though I've other things to do then.

Until the next time.
