Welcome!

I love being able to keep a personal, private diary where no-one can find it.
Some bits I share with my boyfriend - lots of it I just keep to myself!

My grandson loves looking at the pictures and asking who everyone is!

I've had an interesting life and always fancied writing it all down as a book - but where do you start?
Answering questions about my life has brought back so many memories - now I'm finding it hard to stop!

When my Mum died last year, my brother and I fell out for a while over what we thought she'd have wanted.
It made me determined not to put my family through that - so my wishes are all recorded in my Nutshell.

It's easy to think you'll live forever when you're young.
But now we have a growing family, we realise it's vital to put our affairs in order; if one of us is taken ill, the other will know where everything is and what to do.

Before I go travelling I store important information - such as ticket and phone numbers - in my Nutshell.
Then I upload pictures as I go, which I can share with family, and which will be safe even if I lose my camera.

I wouldn't even know how to use a computer!
But my grandchildren have been interviewing me on their phones and on video, and now they've recorded my memories in a Nutshell - I can't wait to see it.

When you have a dangerous job, and then have kids, it can be difficult to put your feelings into words.
So I've left him a special message in my Nutshell - if anything happens to me, he'll always know I love him.

There's so much to buy for a new house we find our Nutshell really important in managing our money.
It also helps us with our insurance and other policies - we can set reminders so we can shop for better deals!

I keep a record of my sermons and themes throughout the year.
It means I don't repeat myself too often!

Lots of things are hard to talk about - at any age.
But now we've recorded our last wishes we can get on with enjoying retirement together, knowing that those left behind will have greater peace of mind.

I'm determined not to let student debt take over my life - I can watch my budget and cut back when I need to.
That's not to say I won't be enjoying myself though! It just gives me more control over my cash.

Many of us might resolve to keep a diary of what we're doing, and find a way to store photos and precious videos somewhere safe, so we can share those memories with others or re-live good times privately.
We might plan to sort out our finances, listing the contact and payment details in case we need them in a hurry and follow a budget so we stay on top of our spending.
It's great to record our memories, things our relatives told us about their lives or things from our own past that just never come up in conversation, and so never get shared. And it's fun to record and store those first precious events in the lives of new children as they happen, to enjoy ourselves and share with them when they're older.
And we may mean to make our last wishes known, to have that difficult conversation about what we'd actually like to happen should we fall ill or even pass altogether; and to leave them special personal messages to give them comfort.
But all too often we never get round to any of it - life just gets in the way!
Well, we've made it easy for you to do any or all of these things, following our prompts and guidance, or just using the secure private space to do it for yourself.
It's what your Nutshell is for.

"My membership actually turned out to be paid for: once I got going on my memories it reminded me of a bet I made with a friend when we were 21 about when we both turned 40. I won the bet, reminded my friend and he just coughed up the £10 this morning!"
Welcome to Your Nutshell: a place to store everything personal and important to you, your past, present and future, in a Nutshell!
Whatever you record on the site is private and accessible only by you; but if you want to share something with someone else, you can invite them through the nutshell 'share' function to view your file, or files, for just as long as you specify.
Then the nutshell locks shut again.
This is Your Nutshell; safe: secure: private: fun.
