I'm very lucky. Living with a practical Stoat, he saw my shoe-boxes full of dusty faded receipts and entry tickets (I hate how thermal tickets slowly go black after time) and he said to me this wise thing:

"Instead of keeping the ticket / receipt / programme / tour brochure etc, why not take a digital photo of it in high res and keep it on CD/DVD"?

We now do this ALL the time, and I have been slowly scanning and turfing my collection. It saves space, and makes things much more accessable, and faster to retrieve.

I love my Practical Stoat !!
