Are you carrying a little extra weight?

It’s a question we all dread being asked… but on this occasion I’m talking about those ‘non-essential’ items in your vehicles!! Many of us drive around with a boot full of ‘stuff’ that has no use to us on an everyday basis, and when it’s locked away on the driveway, it’s forgotten about.  But it costs us – EVERY […]

Storing Home Paperwork

I’ve had 2 consultations this week with people who need help organising their domestic/home paperwork.

How Snow Can Kill Your Clutter

We’re nearing the end of March and officially into Spring, yet you’d be forgiven for thinking it was mid-January, as half of the country appears to be under a blanket of snow! I’ve seen comments on Twitter from people who are ‘snowed in’ and Sky News is telling people […]

What’s in the bag?

Whilst working with a recent Client I came across a wonderful gizmo that I recall hearing briefly about some time ago, but had never seen first hand. The handbag organiser. A revelation!
