I’ve been low level sick the last couple of days. Not enough to stay in bed but enough to not want to go into the office. So this afternoon as I was feeling a bit brighter I took the opportunity to finally photograph, catalogue and “cost” my jewellery collection.
I managed to put together a PPT and an Excel with a number for every item, a description, cost of purchase (sometimes estimated if I didn’t have the paperwork). I then arranged all my certificates and receipts in the same number order. I have 97 pieces of jewellery, excluding costume, which is shocking and scary (how did I end up with this many bits of stuff?!).
What surprised me is that it was SO enjoyable. I think I must be such a geek to have had such a great time doing something so ostensibly dull! I have such a feeling of satisfaction knowing it’s all in order and if anything was to happen to me my family would be able to easily work out what is what. I now just need to update the will!
Has anyone else done this or am I the only nutcase?
