I mentioned a few weeks ago, that I (like many other bloggers) had been sent a bundle of Daycraft diaries and notebooks to review. Over the next 2 weeks I shall be posting my reviews of these notebooks now that I’ve had a chance to use them: Chromatic Days 2010 Diary Animal Pals 2010 Diary […]

Yay! Internet is Back!!
Sorry about the long absence from the blogging world – internet was messing me around (hopefully for the last time). I received a bunch of Daycraft diaries/notebooks last week, so we’ve got those reviews coming up – in addition to the ones that I mentioned earlier this month. So stay tuned.
The EcoStapler Review
Last week I toyed with the idea of using an ecostapler for personal use (as it is obviously not suitable for use at work). So I bought the EcoStapler over the weekend. First off it is hard enough to get into the eco plastic packaging to get the stapler out (even after attacking it […]
Staple Removers
AKA the attack of the de-staplers. As mentioned earlier this week in the comments of a quest for a stapler de-staplers are a problem, they are flimsy, annoying and either attack you or the paper. If you don’t feel confident enough to try Michael’s technique of using pliers (stay tuned for the YouTube Video) […]
Ecostapling
At work we have failed to consider the use of an ecostapler, shocking because: we pride ourselves in being “green” of how expensive all the staples and staplers must be (our team alone goes through a box of staples a week, and before our latest purchases, a stapler a month, easy). of the simplicity of […]

The Lost Art of Letter Writing
Dear fellow paper enthusiast, I write to you from the far reaches of the internet to remind you are about the great stocking filler and fall-back Christmas gift that died out somewhere back in the 90s: the note-writing gift set. Recently I’ve found that people end up using all sorts of scraps of paper for […]
Christmas Cards: Getting ahead of the game
When I read that only 6% of sales from charity cards actually go to charity in yesterday’s metro, I was absolutely appalled. WhSmith’s topped the chart giving away 20-100% to charity followed by Asda at 50%. However, reading this also made me groan “Christmas already!!”. However, the matter of Christmas cards has been quite […]
