With summer behind us, it's a great time of year for taking stock and getting the house in order. Here are three good household tasks for September/October.

I have lived in Bristol for almost 6 years now and I love it. It has a really strong independent vibe which I think separates it from other similar sized cities in the UK.
It didn't surprise me then, when I heard that Bristol was getting its own currency, the Bristol Pound. Following in the footsteps of transition town Totnes in Devon, Bristol is adopting it's own currency to Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862697827085003208.post-73179640947679094022012-07-03T10:00:00.000+01:002012-07-03T10:00:00.707+01:00Pet Hair Problems?

Pet hair can be a real nightmare to get rid of. I personally have 2 cuddly balls of fur who are, as it is summer shedding all over the place. My sofas are a slight embarrassment and if i wear black i can't leave the house without a lint roller! One thing which makes a massive difference is using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, which is also great for those with allergies.

With the sun in the sky why not throw open your windows and throw out your unused stuff! Nothing feels better then a big clear out. I personally believe that a tidy house equals a tidy mind so try to shift anything i haven't used in a few months. Take whatever can still be used to your local charity shop and recycle things that no longer work or are broken.

After doing a bit of research I have found out that since 2005 it has been mandatory for schools in New York State to use green cleaners! This is a fantastic idea, research has shown that poor indoor air quality directly correlates with student and teacher sickness levels with asthma being particularly effected.

Summer is here and what does summer bring? Ants! We have a bit of an ant city being built in our garden at the moment but i am too lazy and too kind to do anything to get rid of the blighters!

There are more ways you can be green then just switching your products. A great way to save money and energy is to turn your washing machine down to 30°c when doing a general load. This can save up to 40% more energy then if you were to wash at 40°c!

Brr! We had thought that we had just about got away with it this winter. With all the bulbs coming up early it definitely felt as if Spring had sprung. But alas, Bristol got a dusting of snow this weekend and we have experienced some very low temperatures indeed. It's the perfect time to snuggle up in front of the fire and count down the days until Spring!

Digging out old books can be a great way to bring back memories or simply rediscover old favourites. If your books have been in storage for a while and are smelling a tad musty, simply place them in a bag with some scrunched up newspaper, leave for 24 hours. When you take them out, the newspaper should have absorbed most of the dampness and odour.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-862697827085003208.post-24624069749947263722011-12-27T10:00:00.001+00:002011-12-27T10:00:07.116+00:00MicrowavesPhoto by gairid1791Our favourite wonder-fruit, the lemon is back!

I hope you are enjoying all of the festivities. Christmas dinner can sometimes be a rawkus affair which can end with the odd red wine spill here and there! A great tip for removing recently spilled red wine is to gently blot away the excess with a clean cloth and then dab the stain with soda water.
