Then I walk to my desk and throw the important stuff to file in my desk tray. Other important pending stuff I don't want to lose goes on a clipboard. DH stuff is trickier but he doesn't get much. I tried having a file for him but I was afraid he wouldn't look. I sort his mail ad important stuff I will leave on the dinner table because that is where he likes to lounge. But if he leaves it there overnight ....grrrr. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-billsmail-go#post-1374600 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 19:48:59 +0000 JerricaBenton 1374600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours go in a mail organizer in the office.

We have a small house so a little clutter here and there adds up real quick and makes the house look dirty. Blah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-billsmail-go#post-1373153 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:08:46 +0000 Mae 1373153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have almost everything on autopay and with email bills so we get almost nothing via mail. If we do get something it is a not-regular bill (like a medical bill or something) so I generally just pay it right away. Or I'll leave it right in the middle of the counter so it annoys me into paying it asap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-billsmail-go#post-1373145 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:06:43 +0000 pui 1373145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our home office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-do-billsmail-go#post-1373061 Fri, 24 Jan 2014 09:46:26 +0000 Dandelion 1373061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: I just put them in the top drawer of our desk.
