Books are everywhere,  but do we really need to keep buying them from big named shops.  My local library can track down a book for 80p instead of paying out £5.99p for the average book if not a lot more. What happens to your books when you have finished with them? I have recently found that we have about two large bookcases full of books scattered around the house, but how many of those are we going to read again or have we ever read.   I know I have about 30 books under my bed which I have not read so my aim now is to read them and then give them to my local library for others to read.  The charity shop will benefit from them as well. We cut down too many trees to produce a brand new books, do we really need to when we have library’s that have a full selection of wonderful books.  My aim over 2009 is not to buy another book but to read more because I do love to read.  The library is an exciting place for children as well, my boys love going to the library, they get very excited about it.

This is one of the most used websites by mysef, i use it for my toothbrush heads and toothpaste mainly but it is hears not to treat yourself when you start delving in to all the lovley buety products that they sell, it also sells all sorts of cleaning product, Ecover being it’s main brand.  It does have a lot of different brands which sell really nice gift sets so you could take a look for christmas ideas.

Well i thought i would write an update at 3 months with my website, I still have not got my family 100% committed to my eco life style especially with my husband and the plastic bags. I am starting to realise that just because i am 100% committed i can’t rush the others. I showed James the cotton baby wipes the other night and he looked at them in horror. Something he will just have to get used to. I did buy him a pack of wiona nappies which are fully biodegradable and chemical free. This is only because i might need a bit of help straight after birth.

My children are easier to train, after buying them there eco worrier jumpers they don’t mind me reminding them that if they want to be an eco worrier then they will have to change, the key is communication and explanation. They thrive of it knowing there looking after the place they live.

We are now all set for the arrival of our baby no.3, i managed to find alot of second hand clothes from ebay , i didn’t see any point in buying more things when other people have bits they don’t need and it is only warn for three months so i can keep them nice and pass them on when i’m finished with them.

I am happy now that my home does not have any chemical cleaning products in it i am at the moment happy with the soap nuts (even though they need to travel over here) i use them for everything.
