We shred anything that has our name and address on, or any similar identification- our middle daughter was the victim of indentity fraud - it was horrible.
Yes, we shred everything which has any identification on it, even junk mail (which we still receive despite having registered for the Mailing Preference Service). And I think Kenzie's idea of keeping a separate bank account for buying on line and keeping only a small amount of money in it is an excellent one.
We also shred anything which could give any details away.Jicarilla,I love your idea of making papier mache figures etc.you must have a great deal of shredding to do if you are working your way through the Royals!!!
