the gift everyone wants this Christmas….time.
we all say it: “If only I had more time.”
Yet according to a recent UK lifestyle survey, the average household spends over 10 hours a week on life admin - from bills and bookings to renewals, repairs and repetitive tasks. That’s three full weeks a year lost to household administration alone.
This Christmas, annabel is turning that time back into a gift.
At annabel, our expert PA and administrative consultants specialise in taking the everyday off your plate so that you can focus on what truly matters; your family, your work, your wellbeing… your life. Think of us as your personal COO quietly creating order from chaos behind the scenes. And this year, we’re introducing something special:

creating order from chaos: how annabel gives you back your time
Below is a glimpse into how we transform daily overwhelm into seamless organisation for our clients.

Most households juggle 30–50 recurring admin tasks annually—from MOTs to insurance renewals. Our consultants build prioritised action plans that clarify what needs doing, when, and by whom. No more missed deadlines or last-minute scrambles.
-
annabel’s approach covers every corner of domestic life:
maintenance schedules to prevent costly surprises
service contracts & key dates stored in one reliable place
insurance overviews to ensure you’re fully and correctly covered
utilities & council tax records organised for clarity
subscription reviews because the average home wastes £500+ per year on forgotten subscriptions
-
Tech headaches disappear when annabel steps in:
Device, router and printer troubleshooting
Mobile contract assessments to ensure best value
Home office supply management
Secure password storage and organisation

A messy digital environment drains around 22 minutes a day, according to productivity studies. We help you:
Streamline inboxes
Build calendar systems that actually work
Create digital filing for passports, licences, certificates and medical documents
Set reminders for renewals so nothing lapses again
-
From passport timelines to itinerary research, we prepare everything in advance so your holidays feel like holidays.
We also assist with milestone celebrations, handling logistics, bookings, and timelines.

We keep life running smoothly by staying ahead of:
Medical document organisation (subject to your written consent)
MOT, tax, permits, insurance and vehicle registration deadlines

No more hunting through WhatsApp threads or old emails for the right details.
