The message center from h#@#

I use it as a reminder notice board sort of. It's has important school function notices coming up (which I change once the function is finished with), my son's ID info I need to sign into "fcp blackboard" to keep up to date with his class activities and notices, my sister in laws wedding invitation which is next month and my son's class schedule of activities. I do have one small peice of artwork and photo of my son on it as well as a notepad where I leave messages for my hubby. I also have our doctors phone numbers on there too for quick reference.

Yes, right now our refrigerator has post-it-notes as well. It's also the common way to treat the refrigerator in our households here. Everyone in the house gets to open the fridge at least once a day. If not for food, maybe for a cold glass of water.

my refrigerator use to be that also... now it is my keyboard. Kids know if they want me to see it They will throw it on my desk.... Well lately with me trying not to get on as much as I use to... well... I don't seem to find anything anymore! LOL oh well...

No... I never did that with my fridge. But most people do... thanks to the invention of those cute little magnets... and the fact that the fridge is the only metal thing in the house that you can stick them on.

Since we had the kitchen replaced we haven't dared make any kind of mess on the refrigerator. But it's days are numbered. We have a half US size fridge so we have never used it as a message centre. But we have stick magnets and stuff on there, and they fall off, get kicked under the fridge and take forever to get out. Every so often we clear all the stuff off and discuss what we are going to do with it. As we can never agree, the fridge gets a wipe down and everything gets put back up again. Crazy really.

Yeah, we post our recipes for the month there...then there's my niece's medicines with corresponding dosages, which I think aren't supposed to be there anymore because she's already well...and then there's shopping list from last week and there are others which I don't even bother to look at.

I guess if you had a big metal sheet nailed to the wall in another area of the house, lots of stuff would get pinned there too. Try hiding the fridge magnets! I'm sure it would stay nice and clear of clutter then! I once read that it was actually proven that people who put bills and letters on their fridge suffered from higher levels of stress than those who didn't simply because they were reminded of how much money they owed numerous times a day!

I can just see your 'message centre' in my minds eye! lol I used to have the same thing on my fridge door but then I bought a very large magnetic white board and put it on my kitchen wall! That way I can put all the junk on the board and also write messages etc on there! The fridge though is still not a blank space as my daughter commandeered it for her magnetic barbie and her outfits! There are also about 20 magnets with photos or sayings on them ! Good luck in keeping yours clear sweety! xxx

I use my refrigerator as a display center for photos. We live quite a distance from our families and the pictures have helped my son remember who people are. I don't like putting a lot of stuff on my refrigerator but I'm slowly getting over that. My son makes all this adorable art work and it is the perfect place to display it.

I clear mine every other month or so. My four year old loves to fingerpaint. So those are hanging. Magnets and coupons.

I have pictures posted all over with magnets I have gotten in the states that we have been to,not any messages though ,not enough room LOL. Have a great day!
