Trove Tuesday - Filing

I'm feeling rather virtuous as I spent the best part of yesterday filing - a task that I usually avoid like the plague.

Trove offers some filing related advice..

  3. Who would have thought Trove would have so much on filing?! Love the cartoon though. Good work, doing the filing...imminent holidays can have that effect :)
