Switch to energy-saving lamps. They typically consume up to 80% less energy than conventional bulbs and last up to three times longer.
Pay attention to your wasted water. Whether you are taking a small shower instead of a bath or collecting rainwater in a garden for your plants, there are many ways to save money. Many water companies offer free equipment, including showerheads that save water.
The use of recycled toilet paper and paper towels is a simple change at the same cost.
Clever cooking . Avoid opening the oven door during cooking, use the correct sized ring on your stove, and drink coffee in a conventional coffee machine as plastic waste accumulates in the fashion capsules.
Accept ecological cleaning . Get rid of artificial cleaners filled with chemicals that can damage marine life and choose more natural versions. Or make yours with white vinegar and lemon juice. Recipes can be found at goodhousekeeping.com/home/cleaning/tips/a24885/make-at-home-cleaners/ .
Insulation Adding it to your loft or walls will help you to save on heating costs in an intelligent way. Replacing the windows with double or triple glazing is expensive, but reduces costs even further. Wooden floor? Add rugs to prevent heat from escaping.

The BRITS are moving to the real estate of their dreams five years ahead of schedule, according to new findings.
Owners usually find the carpet of their dreams around 36, but they think they have to wait until they turn 41.
Ben Osgood, chief mortgage director at The Nottingham, who led the study, said, "Of course, people should always want more, so it's refreshing to see so many people realize they're already living in their 'home' . forever. "

P) One of my friends, my mother's mother, died three years ago and is co-owner of the inheritance with her brother.
She wanted to sell her mother's property, but her brother rented it and pocketed the money.
She sent a copy of the will to the landlord who said she could do nothing.
She lives abroad and her brother lives in the UK. Despite attempts to communicate, he refuses to do anything with her.
A will was never created, and after the attorney had obtained a lawyer, he wanted several thousand pounds sterling.
Where does she go from here?
Julie, Milton Keynes
A) It is legally significant that her friend is an executor of the estate, but it is even more important to know if she is also a beneficiary (she looks like her). Anyway, she can do many things.
First of all, you should write to your brother and tell him that if necessary, he will sue you in court and ask you to replace him as the executor, unless the succession is settled as soon as possible.
You must also state that you did not agree with your brother to retain half of the rental income of the property. Therefore, she will sue him for any money she has received.
Sounds difficult, but your girlfriend needs to warn her brother kindly. Since the value of equity declines in case of litigation, they should try to solve this problem without conflict.
I understand that your friend has no money for a lawyer. Some lawyers offer free preliminary legal advice, and sometimes they can be paid outside the estate.
To guide you in the right direction, contact the Citizens' Advice Bureau on behalf of your friend.

F) The mother of my ex-boyfriend has booked a family vacation, mine too, and I have paid him myself. Then the relationship collapsed and my ex's brother went to my house.
I think they should return my money, but nobody will answer my calls. What should I do?
SAM, Leeds
A) If you have proof that you paid this woman for a trip that was passed on to another person without your permission, you have a legal right to your money.
Provide proof of messages and bank transfers (calmly), indicating that unless you return the money within 28 days, you will call the Small Claims Court.
If ignored, collect court documents. He behaved shamefully
F) I am a 69 year old man and have been a member of a golf club for over 20 years.
I paid £ 900 for a 12-month membership in March and in May a diagnosis of hip and spine osteoarthritis was made.
I was told that I should never play golf again because I could be paralyzed.
My doctor gave me test letters so I could show them at the club.
He refused to compensate me in this way, which in my opinion is unpleasant under the circumstances. I hope you can advise me.

A) I can fully understand your anger, but I'm afraid you have legal problems in this case.
By signing up for your club membership, you have definitely signed a non-refundable 12-month contract.
You should request the terms and conditions of the club (which you should specify), but I believe you will find that the club has clearly stated that you are not eligible for a refund, even if you could not use the course for medical purposes. the reasons
Most gyms have similar conditions to guarantee a steady income.
You should consult the contract you have signed, the charter of the club and any other documents you received at the time of joining.
In the unlikely event that the club does not have a written cancellation policy for medical reasons, you may be eligible for your money.
I advise you to get these documents as soon as possible and to write to the club secretary to express your disappointment.
A thoughtful letter is often preferable to a legal threat in this situation.

F) I bought my wife a Longines automatic watch worth £ 1,500 for her 50th birthday last November.
At the store where we bought it, Fraser Hart crouch jewelers told us in the Grand Arcade in Cardiff that the clock would last for about 40 hours when it was completely closed.
It was used several times at Christmas, and less than ten hours had passed each time the clock stopped the next morning.
When we informed the store, they informed us that the 28-day refund period had expired. The watch has a two-year warranty on free repairs and has therefore been returned to Longines.
The clock offered a partial service, but the next morning it stopped.
He was fired, but again the repair made no difference.
I'm afraid if I return to the store, I'll be hunted again.
Do I have any fees for a refund or a new replacement model?
ALEX, Cardiff
A) You have many rights after the 28-day refund period, with which you have apparently been rejected.
Consumer law is clear: It is the responsibility of the retailer to ensure that the customer receives the product he has paid for, beyond the manufacturer's warranty.
A customer should only give the opportunity for repair.
If unsuccessful, they will be entitled to a replacement or refund within six months of purchase.
I talked to Fraser Hart and the matter has been referred to the management, and I am happy to say that this feeling has prevailed.
His wife had the opportunity to choose a new watch, as it should have been after the failure of the first repair.
Fraser Hart is satisfied that he is satisfied with the result.
We contacted Longines and they had no comments.

F) My car was hit in a parking lot last August. I was not in the car, but someone else saw what happened.
The witness left a note with a description of the vehicle and its registration number. Unfortunately they did not leave me their contact details.
I received a police incident number and informed my insurance company Hastings Direct about the details, including a copy of the note.
He agreed that the car could be repaired. I paid the surplus of 350 pounds and Hastings said he would pursue his claim.
Despite numerous calls to your claims department, the company has merely stated that the other party is not responding and may need to cancel the request.
To increase the stress, Hastings wanted to enlarge my cousin.
STEPHAN, servant
A) He believed that his comprehensive insurance included legal protection and he did not expect to pay £ 350 for an accident that was not his fault.
You repeated this several times with Hastings Direct, but nothing has changed.
