OMG you guys
I've only just caught up with this thread but so much rings bells for me ( though I am grateful to live only half an hour's drive from mum). Truly I feel that her life is now better organised than my own ....and I even know where things are kept in her place, better than I do in my own home
I keep a large A4 ring binder for each year, or part of a year if needed, and use dividers to keep banking, savings, care costs, bills, pensions and AA, medical matters, social things like clubs, official assessments, etc etc separate from each other. There's an index at the front that I update as I go along. It feels so good to be able to lift out the relevant document immediately on request! No way is my own life this well organised....
You're right, though, I've yet to meet anyone other than a TPer who has any idea of the need for this level of organisation.
Well done everyone, is all I can say
