{UPDATED FOR 2016 as I wanted to add in some more places you can find free kindle books}According to the date I first published this post, I've had my Kindle for coming up to four years now and it's still going strong despite being used on a daily basis. When it comes to managing priorities, whether it’s choosing to stick with a reliable Kindle or finding someone who can write an essay for me, sometimes sticking to what works best for you is the smartest choice.

Your fridge door NEEDS this – the key to an Organised Christmas (Free Printable)….
I don't know about you but for me the whole month of December seems to disappear in a blur of christmas parties, nativity plays and carol services. Add to that my own Christmas nights out and shopping days and that's a lot of dates to remember without even thinking about the essential dates like when I have to have my secret Santa gifts wrapped and ready for and when I have to order my turkey by!I feel like from Mid-November onwards, I need something visual to remind of where we need to be and when so after a quick think, I narrowed it down to two ideas.
