1. Recycle Your Inkjet Cartridges - 14 Feb 2006

   I saved cartridges for years, never knowing where I could recycle them. Unfortunately, when I moved I finally chucked them. At least now I know what I can do about them in the future!

2. Sharing with students - 15 Mar 2006

   Found a new way to do this! We were going to throw out a couple of old fold-out sponge chair/beds. One had a stain on it and the other wasn’t particularly nice either. But we happened to mention them to a couple of students we had round, and they were really pleased to give them a new home! So we didn’t have to go through the guilt of throwing them away, and they have new furniture in their student rooms!

3. Make Your Own Greetings Cards - 15 Mar 2006

   I made a personalised card for my Dad’s 60th, making a collage of family photos. I made my mum’s by knitting a little mouse in a yellow dress and sticking it on a card with a rose in its paw. It was such fun that I think I will try to remember birthdays far enough in advance to make as many personalised cards as possible!

4. Get Rid Of Some Of Your Books - 09 Apr 2006

   I think I’m going to have a big sort and give some of my books to the American Library here in Nancy (I live in France). I have got so much pleasure out of borrowing their books that I would like my books to give other people pleasure instead of just hoarding them in my flat!

5. Sharing with students - 12 Jul 2006

   And since I’m pregnant we needed to get rid of the single bed we have. Just at the right time we found a student who had just found his first job (so technically an ex-student) and we were able to give him the bed and a whole load of spare plates, pots and pans.
