Do you put your reminders/bills on the fridge?

Yes. This is my doing actually to keep track of what I need to do and what needs to be paid. LOL. If you guys can see my fridge, you would feel sorry coz it's already mummyfied with notes and bills and receipts and list. lol My mom doesn't approve of it because she thinks it will make your fridge untidy. Well, she's right though. But I still do it anyway because hardly a day passes that I don't interact with my fridge. LOL Happy Rainy Sunday morning from Philippines, Mylotters!

Hello there, yes, i always put the bills on the fridge. besides, it's the easiest to do since we get so busy we forget the things we placed. so, i agree that bills should be on the fridge.

All of us have a good relationship with our fridges.

No I put all my bills right on my desk besides my laptop. So this way everyday as I sit here on my laptop I can see them starring at me. Pay me, pay me. If I were to put them pinned to the fridge you would not see the fridge at all as I have so many it would decorate the entire fridge.

LOL. You really made me laugh when you said, "Pay me. Pay me." Our bills are really persuasive and bossy. LOL.

Am afraid, I’ll have to agree with your mom… I too feel that it looks quite untidy! Thankfully however, my hubby takes care of all the bills so I don’t have to bother about them. however, there are other things which need remembering (and I’m so prone to forgetting them)…I just have a big sheet of paper hanging from a clip board and I just jot down whatever needs to be done… once that work is done, I just cancel it. so that big sheet of paper now looks equally untidy and to someone who doesn’t know what’s written, its similar to lunar language.

I have my cork board with me but no place yet is appropriate for me to hang it yet. My place is too small so for now, the fridge will have to do the job first in reminding me. :D

Nope! I don't have the habit of putting reminders on my fridge. It has never been my habit. For one thing I actually don't have the habit of writing reminders because I also forget reading them. Ha!ha!ha! I always just trust my brain to remember all that I want to do for a day and for those not so hard to remember I request either my hubby or my son to remind me.

That's very heartwarming, salonga. Simple things where your family is also in like reminding you of the things you need to do. I like that.

Yes our frig is the main center for reminders in our lives. Without it everything would come to a stand still. It's kind of strange to picture my frig and yours side by side standing there keeping both our lives in order.

The fridge is a good place for tacking bills and reminders. I don't do that though. I put my bills and post my reminders on my work table beside my computer so you can just imagine the mountain of paper and trash sitting on my table. LOL I clean up once in a while though so I do not really get buried under.

I will sometimes put reminders and such on my fridge. However, I don't do it very often. Pictures are pretty much taking up the space on my fridge.

We are just like you, I live with my siblings, and we post the bills and other important things in our fridge cause that's the one place that we are sure that the other people in the house would see. Hehehe. Specially with my sister whom I don't really interact with everyday, cause her work has a different schedule that's why we use the fridge to remind each other of important bills to pay.

I agree, fridge sometimes can be used as mailbox for someone you hardly see yet you are living on the same household. :D

My refrigerator door is always filled with little notes and reminders to do things. I try not to put my bills to be paid there though. I have a place that i like to keep my unpaid bills until they are ready to be paid. My refigerator door just isn't the place for it. There are plenty of other little things that adorn it to remind me of life's happenings.

I don't put reminders on the fridge, but instead... don't put any reminders at all. HAHA... I guess it's just not my thing? Our fridge doesn't have any notes or anything. We don't put anything other than food inside the fridge. No reminders outside the fridge. We put it some place else. Our parents also do not agree with the fact of putting anything on the fridge other than food. Happy mylotting to all of you!

No. I've never put reminders and bills on the fridge. However I have around 10 magnets on the fridge. I remember when I was little, my mom had written reminders (what to do on each day) and put them on the table. And a proverb from me: The stupid person remembers, the smart person writes a reminder! Best regards, Renteroo

LOL. That made me laugh. I bet your mom is very effective with her proverbs because I am jotting it right now. :D Good one, renteroo.

I can't put my reminders /bills on the fridge for I am afraid it might get lost. I have though a separate wallet for this, because at times I get a chance to pass by there offices so, I can easilly pay them.

Some of them I do, and some of them I put on my calender or my bedroom wall. I have a lot of ways to keep myself organized.

We don't put bills on the fridge. We do have a receipt though.lol. Don't know what it is used for. It's just there for months already. My mom also put money in it. Then our helper will just get it so she can buy food for us. It's easily noticed by all people in the house, so I guess the fridge is really useful.

I don't use my fridge for the bills ( I am afraid they will fall off). I have a small box on my desk that I put all of my bills in. I also write on my desk calendar how much each bill is and when it is due. This works for me because I never forget to pay one when it is staring right at me! Happy MyLotting!

I pay all my bills eletronically (except the rent) in which case I pay them by check. Since I only receive money once a month, I pay the bills within the first week of the recpt of my money. Then once the bills clear I know exactly how much money I have left for other things I might want. If there are any appointments or anything of that nature, then they get posted on the calendar, and any related paper work gets taped to the front door. Considering if we wannt to go outside, the front door is the only way to do so. So that's where any paperworks/notes go.

I see. You have a different way too of pinning your reminders. :D Thanks for the response, kayla.

Nope, I keep them in a special jar next to the front door in my house instead. It works better for me for some reason. Also, I don't like having stuff on the fridge, it looks like clutter to me.

Before I purchased my ref, I also used to place my reminders beside the TV since I watch TV all the time when I get home from school and work. :D
