About Colleen MadsenWho is behind 365 Less Things?
My name is Colleen, I currently reside in Newcastle Australia. I am a forty something year old mother of two grown children and in my third decade of being wife to my darling hubby. I love traveling, art and craft, spending time with friends and family and volunteering my time to help others.
My parents taught me well to make, mend, mingle and manage so being frugal, friendly and fun loving would describe me fairly well. I can also be opinionated, outspoken and defensive at times but hey no one is perfect. I look forward to getting to know you as well so join our friendly community here at 365 Less Things where we, that is Cindy, the readers and myself, share opinions, advice and lots of friendly encouragement.

I seem to always be decluttering things made of paper. I remember when we got computers in the business where I worked years ago. We were told that setting up a computer system would help us go paperless. HA!! I think we are worse not better. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays we get a pack of ads in our mailboxes. We can’t opt out of them. So most of us just walk them up to the recycle bin on our floor and dump them in. I have asked to go paperless on most things that give that option and still I get paper. I went to the doctor today and came away with 10 pieces of paper. Now why couldn’t they have put it on my account on the internet on their website? They do but they also hand me one as I leave. Instead of sending orders for x-rays, labs, etc. they give us a paper one. I think I am going to start a campaign of finding ways to opt out of all this stuff.
I decluttered a chore I was dreading – paying off our credit card… I asked at our bank (which is the same bank as credit card) if there was a way to pay it without writing a check… There was! They wrote out a slip with the details and I signed it and voila! It is done! 🙂
Woohoo!
Another credit card bites the dust.
Since the first of the year I have sorted through my files and pulled out the stack to be destroyed. I also pulled out a stack of files to be archived. I’m ready for this year’s info.
