Have you blurted out sentences at work and they’ve come out back to front? Thank goodness I don’t have the problem when I write. At least I can try editing my mistakes, although if you’ve been reading my blog I’m sure you’re not surprised that I blurt out grammatical errors .

Keeping your family documents up to date is easier than communicating at work, if you get into the habit of scanning documents when they appear in your home. With the Christmas break approaching it’s a great idea to start looking at your family education and career keepsakes (Journal Event: EDUCA).
