Don't waste money on expensive hair dye caps. Recycle your old small carrier bags. It'll save your tops and carpets from being ruined by the hair dye, and it's kinder to the environment, too.

I was fed up with the larger birds eating my bird feed before the smaller birds had a chance. Now, I attach two hanging baskets around the fat balls. It keeps the larger birds out, so the smaller ones can pop through the holes to get a treat.

Save your change from shopping, and put it in a tin. Then, once you've got a reasonable amount, put it into a savings account. All those 20 pence coins will soon add up and you'll be able to treat yourself to something nice without feeling guilty! To make it add up even faster, calculate the money you saved by using coupons and add this to your money box too.
