Just random thoughts for today, some financial/some not...
1. I bought a new mouse for using at the house with my laptop since the old one broke. Bought with office credit card since I need it for working from home (really only need it to use Autocad). The scroll thingy is sort of weird (smooth rather than clicky; I preferred clicky). This is the updated version of my old mouse. I guess I'll get used to it.
2. I got the mouse at Staples. We were also there to get some plastic/acetate display pockets for F's sports illustrated womens world cup covers. My "framing" idea is to put them in the acetate, then use a big bulldog clip and hang on the wall in a grid pattern. Much cheaper than framing, and she can keep the covers on the magazines. But they didn't have the pockets or the bulldog clips. I went home and ordered on Amazon. Can't believe how irritating stores are; I'd much rather shop online.
3. We ordered 8 more salad plates because we use those most often and always run out before we run the dishwasher. Ordering more plates was on the Declutter Calendar for last week, so I'm a little bit late.
4. We are leaving in a few mins. to go to a horse show (free!!). It's the last weekend. I'll let you know how it is.
5. Here are the other things on the Declutter Calendar for this month:
week 1

week 2

Our guys loved giant posters but favourite figures kept changing. We found posters rails were cheap and easily cut to size + suction holders were nearly invisible. At another point we used regular framing 'mats' held in place with either double sided tape or toothpaste. I know it sounds weird but toothpaste works as well as http://www.displays2go.ca/C-2094/Poster-Rails-Banner-Hangers-for-Wall-or-Ceiling-Mounting
