Green New Year

I've long been an admirer of http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/, Martin Lewis' site dedicated to reducing costs without impacting your lifestyle. Its readers have contributed some useful ideas about re-use and recycling of Christmas items, from re-gifting to arts and crafts projects - and how to keep your christmas tree alive for another year. You can find it all here - and do considering signing up to the newsletter, it's full of useful tips to save you money (just remember: if you don't need it then it's not really a bargain! I've totally avoided the New Year sales this year to avoid buying things I don't need).
