5 Random Tips 

1. If you don't have much time to do your landscaping or gardening and you are on a budget try designing your own sanctuary on paper then adding one plant a week... it may take awhile but you won't notice the cost as much.
2. If you are tight on money but have a wish list to purchase items around the house to give it better organisation or just to make it look better. Get an envelope for each thing you want and every week add $1 or more to each envelope (or whatever you can afford 20c etc.) it may take awhile for you to buy the item but at leas in the meantime you are getting closer to the item rather than not at all.
3. Always reuse your grocery plastic bags for everything and anything from garbage bags to storing clothes in the cupboard or you may even like to tie up excessive amounts of pens/pencils and keep them for when the kids have used the ones they have.
4. Go through a cupboard a week and de-clutter or reorganise it so it is more efficient for you and your family... once you find a system that works you will find it is just a matter of cleaning rather than culling in the end.
5. Next time a recipe calls for fresh herbs buy a potted bunch... use what you need for the recipe then plant the rest into a garden or larger pot for future use... far more cost effective and adds to your garden.

Well after a hectic last few months I am finally on here again to share a few more tips and hints. I have released a book on all Natural products called "Eco Pro" links are featured below or you can email for more details... Rainy Days: Next time it is a rainy day with nothing to do but watch tv DON'T!!! Get the whole family involved in a clean up... or even if it is only you just think of the sense of achievement tackling just one area of the house that has been neglected. Start just one thing on your agenda... here is a list to help you 1. Get rid of clothes that are old or don't fit 2. Open your kitchen cupboards and cull your Tupperware/plastic containers that are never used or getting tatty. 3. Rotate the food in your pantry to make sure you are using the canned or packet items closer to the date today. 4. Attack that paperwork piling up in the corner of the office. 5. Get rid of towels and sheets that are not being used in your linen closet (ideas: great for rags or if still good drop it into an animal shelter they need them.) 6. Go through the cupboards in the bathroom and get rid of the half used make up, creams and lotions not being used. 7. Go through the kids toybox and give the unwanted or unused toys to the Salvo's or other charities... there are so many in need. 8. Get your hubby to go through all the garage and get rid of unwanted or unused gardening items, paints etc they may also be needed at a charity based project. 9. Start a pile of unused electronic goods for collection by the council so when the date arrives you can just place it out ready. 10. Start going through the old magazines/newspapers you have kept for particular articles and get the kids to clip them out or scan them into the computer for later use... kids will find glueing the articles into a scrap book for you and decorating the pages fun on a wet day with a computer/game ban. Enjoy and will post again next week.. Cheers Nadene :)
