Most years we all make resolutions that most of us don’t keep. Many of us often say “this year things are going to change”. However things don’t change. We do. If relationships etc are not going so well sometimes it isn’t just about changing them it is also figuring out what is going on with […]
I am not sure if there are any statistics about how parcels will be delivered between now and Christmas but I do know that many more people have shopped online this year presumably, if they are anything like me, they work late hours and/or are desperate to avoid the inevitable long queues in stuffy shops.
