I keep a notebook with a list of books I've read...this was after a trip to my local charity shop and buying two books which sounded great and that I'd previously read!confused

Supermarket home deliveries - saves me time, stops me picking things up that I don’t need, I can add things through the week as I need them and it saves me money!

My Dyson cordless has radically improved my life by giving me more time. It used to take an hour with the old, heavy corded Dyson to vacuum my house.

I saved up John Lewis vouchers given for birthdays and Christmas to spend half a grand on the cordless. It now takes twenty minutes without messing about with cords and plugs, lugging a big heavy beast around furniture and moving things to vacuum behind them.

Or...

I do downstairs and the DH does upstairs with the old Dyson.

That way it takes me ten minutes. Win!

I take pictures of wine labels that we have enjoyed so that when we revisit a restaurant/wine bar or supermarket I can reorder/buy.

What small, relatively minor change have you made recently which has made your life smoother?

For me it is taking a picture of post office receipts as I am always losing them. I do a lot of internet shopping and if I need to chase up a return they always want proof of posting. I write what the item was on it of course.

Anyone else?
