What do you know about hoarding?

This week I attended the annual conference hosted by Hoarding UK, as I do every year.

Gifts at Christmas

Sobering statistics Gift giving can be a tricky. I have to admit that I enjoy giving gifts far more than I enjoy receiving them. Whilst not wanting to be a Christmas Scrooge, there is no doubt that festive gift giving involves a huge amount of over consumption and waste. Each year in the UK, £700 […]

A Simplified Stress Free Christmas

The whole point of what I do is to try to make your life easier and reduce stress.
