Do you still get snail mail? How full is your email inbox? Is the phase ‘it’s in the mail’ still valid? We have had a post office box for quite a few years now, I am not sure why, because we have no plans to move, but at least if we go away we don’t […]

Yes! The first time was painful in the extreme! It took me 3 hours to do my online shopping with PnP! About 8 years after PnP first introduced online shopping, I attempted to do my shopping this way. I have always hated shopping, so this seemed like a good idea. It was a disaster; it […]

This week the 2nd month of the year begins! I can’t believe how fast it is already going. We have been sorting and organising for a month so far and I want to know how are you doing? Are you practically paper free? Are you making contact with others? This week we look at creating […]
