Culling my warranty & instruction folder

December 3rd, 2006 at 10:18 am

I have a folder that I keep my warranties and dockets in which I keep until I have or no longer own that item. Doing this allows me to know how long I have had an item, some are bought in the 70’s as I still have all the dockets that are still in use. So I need to cull what’s no longer in use and a general tidy up as well.

The folder is just a with a lot of small Zip folder pockets that we have added over the years, these zip pocket folders are now around $2.50 each but I bought them 30 years ago. All my booklets and instructions for all appliances are kept in there too! If they are not needed for the running of an appliance.

Working on my bookcase

Working on one of my bookcases, as I have many bookcases so doing one per week or month will be enough. I am just re-packing and only culling doubles along with any rubbish found.

Not many other jobs were done today, but it’s a no spending day.

On the subject of skin cancer.

This is very interesting reading, I do eat salad greens all year around.

Spinach linked to sun protection

Eating green, leafy vegetables may be as important as wearing hats and sunscreen in the prevention of skin cancer.

An 11-year study by the Queensland Institute of Medical Research involving 1,000 people in Nambour, on the Sunshine Coast, found those who ate at least three serves of green leafy vegetables a week reduced their risk of skin cancer by up to 55 per cent.

Doctor Jolieke van der Pols says green vegetables such as spinach contain a crucial cocktail of nutrients that can boost the skin's natural defence against sun damage.

"Other research that has looked at individual nutrients haven't found very clear evidence, so it might be that actually the combination of nutrients as they occur normally in the foods that we eat, actually have the effect on the skin cancer," Dr van der Pols said.

She says the findings highlight the importance of eating a healthy, well-balanced diet.
"So the message is: diet may play a role, but importantly in addition to the usual precaution measures such as using a hat, sunscreen and protective clothing."
