1. Slow Down, Calm Down (Stick to the speed limit) - 07 Nov 2006

   I got lost on the way to Greenbelt this year and was picked up in Oxford doing 35 in a 30mph zone. Have been trying very hard to keep to the speed limit ever since and guess what – driving has suddenly turned out to be a relaxing experience. If I am late, well I’ll just have to live with it. I thought I drove the way I did because I was stressed. Turns out I was stressed because I drove the way I did. Anyway yesterday I did the Thames Valley Speed Awareness Scheme (generously offered as an alternative to points on the license). It was a very positive experience, and hopefully will have reinforced my intentions no end.

3. Recycle Your Inkjet Cartridges - 07 Nov 2006

   I used to have a great battle with the kids. I would give them the cartridges for their school’s recycling scheme and they would quietly lose them. Now I have a box of Chrisitan Aid Recycling bags on my desk and it will be entirely my responsibility to make sure this gets done.
