A few things make a post

[randomling]

* Inbox zero!!!! Has been a long time coming, so: FINALLY.

* Does anyone have any (online, preferably) shop recommendations for storage solutions for paper/stationery/etc? Ikea have some lovely things, but their delivery charge is exorbitant and I most certainly don't have the spoons for a trip to Croydon any time soon.

* Night Vale live next month EEEEEE.

* Work is going well! Have resolved some slightly snarly client stuff and am getting things done. Last couple of weeks have been really rough but I'm working my way back to where I want to be.

* I am not getting much (any) writing done and I'm slightly panicking about that 'cause it's Exchange Season and i have no idea what I want to nominate for Yuletide.

* I'm also not reading much, but this is an Ongoing Pattern and has been for at least a year. I have zero attention span.

* I think that's it for now!

What things specifically caught your eye on the Ikea website as being The Sort of Useful Thing You Need? (It might be easier to find other sources of things with a better idea of what sort of shiny stationary storage you have in mind - such different things working for different people. (I may be sliiiightly to fond of both stationary things and Organisational things...)

PS WOOT and HURRAY for inbox zero! I find it so worth the work to maintain (at work, at any rate, I have rather fallen off the wagon personally)

[randomling]

Thank you! I'm doing it mostly with the magic power of automatic filtering (God bless Thunderbird) and being ruthless. But it's very nice indeed to have a nearly-empty inbox! (I'm back up to two.)

[randomling]

So! I really like this and this - they will both fit on the shelf above my desk without overlapping and should contain a decent amount of stuff.

And then there is this little chest of drawers which is cute and will be useful for a few bits!

I really like stationary and organisational things too! And I currently have Way More Stuff Than Space...

Very nifty things - the drawers especially (Wilkinsons is often pretty good for this kind of thing, although I don't recall seeing anything like the drawers)

[randomling]

Ooh, thank you for the tip! I'll take a look at Wilkinsons. :D

If Ikea is your only option, and the item you want is not too bulky, I'd be happy to help out - I live round the corner (almost literally) from the Wembley one.

Also, yay on catching up with freelance work!

[randomling]

Thank you, that's a very kind offer! Depending on what else I find I might take you up on that. <3

And yay indeed! *whew*

Depending what you want it's worth checking out general office supply places for stationary storage solutions. I vaguely remember getting good deals from somewhere called euroffice in the past, though recently I've tended to default to Staples or, if I'm feeling really lazy, Amazon.

For slightly more general storage solutions I love Really Useful Boxes (google Really Useful Boxes) with a passion, but they are not the cheapest stackable boxes on the market - they sometimes have special offers on though so it is worth keeping an eye out.

Ooh, thank you, those are Really Useful Suggestions! <3

You're doing so well \o/
