Killing the Costanza Wallet

We tease TeamHardCore about her wallet. It's often so full of stuff that she can't close it...just like George Costanza's.

Guess what, that was my wallet on Friday and it was time to do something about it!

I couldn't close it...so I spent my break doing something about it...


Those piles included:

• $1.82. That's it. Pathetic.
• A tax receipt (taken home for filing)
• Pile of Christmas receipts (taken home for filing)
• A stack of receipts for shredding (probably 8 or 9)
• 2 expense claim receipts (in the expense claim file!)
• 2 expired grocery store game cards
• 3 expired coupons
• 10 5¢ stamps
• 2 pool admissions
• 3 tiny photos of J
• 1 expired gym card (it's been chopped up)
• 1 card shop loyalty card
• 1 expired aquarium membership card
• 4 functioning debit cards
• 1 compromised and cancelled debit card (it's been chopped up)
• 3 major credit cards
• 1 store credit card
• 6 loyalty cards
• 1 driver's license
• 1 work ID card
• 1 work credit card
• 1 old appointment card
• 2 BC health cards (for me and for J)
• 1 Children's Hospital emergency room card
• 2 extended benefits cards (one for my plan, one for Alex's)
• 1 store gift card - no balance

And these are the things that got to go back in

• $1.82.
• 10 5¢ stamps
• 2 pool admissions
• 3 tiny photos of J (these are great for entertaining J in line ups)
• 1 card shop loyalty card
• 1 expired aquarium membership card (it gets to stay because it's being renewed and they use the old card)
• 4 functioning debit cards
• 3 major credit cards
• 1 store credit card
• 6 loyalty cards
• 1 driver's license
• 1 work ID card
• 1 work credit card
• 2 BC health cards (for me and for J)
• 1 Children's Hospital emergency room card
• 2 extended benefits cards (one for my plan, one for Alex's)
• 1 store gift card - no balance (this is for J - she uses it to "buy" stuff at the store)

It didn't feel like I was throwing much out, but it's so nice to be able to close it and find stuff. My only complaint (and it's all my fault) is that some of the slots got stretched because there were so many cards shoved in them so the cards that got to stay slide out easily....
