I picked Worklife balance because that seems to represent most of the other options! SO dreamy.

I love the option to work in a private office while still feeling connected to the larger open plan space. And who doesn't want a huge blackboard to creatively brainstorm?

I have bought everything from pen refills to rugs & multiple ebay purchases of 2nd hand curios. Mostly now it is tickets for travel & accomodation, music events, movies etc but also travel insurance & even appointments can now be made online with some doctors & other professionals. Of course there is the odd pizza & I order wine online too direct from the cellar door. Security is the issue with unknown sites so I'm very careful & use paypal when I can.

If you see "Where to invade next" (Michael Moore's new movie) it is a fascinating insight into some scandi (and Icelandic and a few suprises!) culture. Makes me realise our lemming like behaviour to follow 'merica is very misguided!
