Your carer will know a polypocket, it is like a very thin piece of plastic with holes down side so that you can put them in ringbinder, the size is A 4, can get them in Wilkinsons and W H Smiths and Poundstretchers etcetera. Yes it opens up like a book and two silver rings in middle that you open apart and they clip together, they are called ringbinders. You could braille a small piece of card and cellotape the sides of the card to the bottom of the ringbinder on the narrow outside, then you can run your fingers along all your ringbinders until you find the one you want, you can even put your recipes in the polypockets and then in its own ringbinder and braille it recipes. Cut up card off a cereal box and braille with a braille stencel, like put braille words tin of peas and blue tac it on tin, and if jars use the strip of cardboard and puncture hole in side of it to put elastic band through, so that the elastic band will go over the jar or can or bottle. I used can of air freshener under my arms, stung and could not put them down for a week, never washed under my arms so much with cold water, I had huge allergic reaction from it, and I was making gravy and ended up having parsley sauce lol, as they are both identical tubes, I cannot use brailler as I am one handed, so this penfriend is more than a friend. Come down for holiday and you will be happy to see for yourself, you will not starve either lol. -----Original Message----- From: Carol O'Connor - Email Address: missbossyboots33@xxxxxxxxx Sent On: 21/08/2011 18:45 Sent To: guide Chat List - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] Keeping tidy Hi Vanessa Yes can raed Braille very well indeed Never heard poly pockets before When you say ring binders do you mean it opens up like a book and two silver rings in middle that you open apart and they clip together? well I would like to get some now good bargains there Hey vanessa can you do us a favour when sweet malcolm comes on Thursday when he comes home can you give him a poly pocket ring binder for me what do you think?

When I say files I mean ringbinders with polypockets in, all labled. How do you lable items? Can you do braille? 100 Polypockets are 1 pound and a ringbinder to clip them in is 2 poind for small and 3 pound for big, I have the bigger ones as can get more in them, then lable the ringbinders and polypockets. No sharp corners on polypockets, you can scrumple them up in your hand, they soft. Penfriend can go in your pocket or around your neck on lanyard. All my ringbinders are side by side on a shelf in a cupboard and labled on bottom, so that I can go along each one without taking them off shelf as penfriend stick is on bottom of the narrow bit, this is hard to write and describe, hope you understand my explanation lol. I will be glad when he goes back and he is not here yet lol, too much worry and scared, panicking if food etcetera. I did ask you to come here, you forgot eh?

No, I have no clutter, if I do not use it or cannot use it, I give it away. Following is only trying to help. Every cupboard and shelf is for its own usage. I have A 4 file holders and each one has a penfriend sticker on the bottom narrow end, so that I just touch the sticker to know what is in the file holder, like one says bills, another instructions and guarantees, another computer with cds. Each file holds lots of A 4 polypockets that have a penfriend sticker on top right corner of polypocket and says what is in the polypocket. If it is the file that says bills, the polypockets have penfriend stickers on top right corner, one poly pocker with sticker says electric, so all electric is in the A 4 polypocket with penfriend stickersaying electric, another says t v, so my t v licence is in the polypocket in the bills file, another says water etcetera. Instructions file has polypockets with every item I have bought, like washing machine instructions and guarantee is in the polypocket, and another polypocket has iron istructions etcetera. The computer file has polypockets with everything individually labled like Guide C D, printer C D and instructions in polypocket with penfriend sticker, everything in its own polypocket labled with talking penfriend sticker. Women's bottles and potions have suitcase holders with elastic put in hole and the elastic is put on bottle and has penfriend sticker on the suitcase holder, so that it can be used again. On the food tins all labled with magnet strip with penfriend sricker on for reusing, sometimes I run out of magnetic strip so penfriend sticker is on piece of card and bluetacked on tin or jar. -----Original Message----- From: Carol O'Connor - Email Address: missbossyboots33@xxxxxxxxx Sent On: 21/08/2011 12:13 Sent To: guide Chat List - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] Bags of rubbish Good afternoon all Goodness never thought I could find so much rubbish in my flat wow shocked 3 black bin bags full now waiting in hall way for my carer tomorrow to take away Goodness found 23 bank statements from dated back from 2004 and 2005 just shreded them all thank goodness for that took me ages nice feeling now found 7 thick bt bill books with lots of imformation no good for me though wow took me ages to sort them out because thick clutter all my cupboards up found 6 argos catalougues dated from 2006 goodness fancy me just letting everything pile up ridiculous . in future now going to make sure now never happens again put them in seperate bin bag to go in paper bin outside in our little coedesac not taking any risk myself no way Bet if you all took a good search in your flats or houses bet you have lot of clutter tehre like me also found 4 party hats for christmas cone ones with ribbins coming out on top going to give to our julie for her school for there christmas party good idea found 4 fat x directory phone books wow never ending makes it lighter now one cupboard thank goodness for that oh what a big difference it makes when sort stuff out these small flats soon get all cluttered up I found 3 casserole pirate dishes that I had forgotton all about washed them out now weill use them Going to stir my stew now starting to smell nice yum yum yum having it at 4pm hope your all having nice sunday Love busy little miss piggy boots who never stops x.x.x.x.
