I was worried about potential target for burglaries etc, for both us and our neighbour, so emailed Google, and glad to say it has now been removed.

I've now moved on to the paperwork but I wonder if you can tell me how many years of bank statements I should keep? The house feels much more spacious and tidy after the initial clear out, and several neighbours have been delighted with books and toys which we've passed on to their children and grandchildren.

When I closed my business I notified my wholesalers I was done, but catalogs kept coming. so I signed up with a company who 'guaranteed' the catalogs would stop - and some of them did, but in the process I received dozens more from companies I had never even heard of - at least by not ordering I have managed to get off of those lists - but it has taken over a year.

This is one area that I am super diligent. And I never subscribe to blogs. I use FEEDLY to page through them quickly. It keeps them all together in one place so I can look at them when I choose, and absolutely out of my inbox.

I too have been pruning my subscriptions, everybody and their Dad seems to find my email address and sends me missives<br /><br />I am seriously considering going ex-directory on the phone too, I am SO fed up of cold calls. It used to be a big deal to go ex-directory, and I wanted to stay in the telephone book so friends could find me. By who uses the telephone directory these days!
