When it's all going pear shaped, rebalance yourself with a move that's a bit yoga-ish. Sit comfortably; inhale for the count of 3, exhale for a count of 6, until you feel calm. You'll find you can't breathe and count and hold on to stressful thoughts!Woman Magazine

When I'm helping my son to read a new book from school, I write a list of the words he struggles on. We go through the list separately and tick off every word he gets right. He is then able to relate the word to the book and by the following week he reads the words perfectly.

Don't waste money buying expensive pet blankets and bedding from pet shops. Baby blankets and bedding items from charity shops serve the purpose equally well and cost a lot less.Hilary Burfoot, Berkshire. Tip from Woman's Weekly

Re-use the small string bags that come with washing tablets. They're ideal for storing hair bobbles, nail varnish and make-up. They're also good for children's small toys like marbles and conkers.Amanda Evans, North Yorkshire. Tip from Woman's Weekly

Fancy a weekend lie in? Now that my kids are old enough to tell the time, I tell them they'll get a prize if they manage to stay in bed until the clock says seven. While they're asleep, I change the clock to run an hour slow. A bit naughty, but it's worth it!Ellie Jones, Newcastle. Tip from Woman Magazine

I had nowhere to keep my daughter's sand-pit toys so I washed out my old kitchen bin and keep the toys in there. If it rains, I put the lid on to keep the toys dryKim, via email

How to save money on... clothes and cosmetics
If you haven't bought all your Christmas presents yet, don't worry - you can still get some good deals.- Check the voucher codes: Codes to save you money when buying online are everywhere at the moment! When you've found something you want to buy, visit some vouchercodes websites and see if they have any offers. By just having a quick click around we found 20% off and free delivery at Wallis and 22% off at Oasis from vouchercodes.co.uk, 10% off at Quiz Clothing from everydaysale.co.uk and 10% off beauty and fragrances at Debenhams from discountvouchers.co.uk.
- Buy online: Even if you can't find a voucher code for where you're shopping, it is generally cheaper to buy online. Check a few different websites to see who is selling the thing you want cheapest. But remember to factor in delivery costs - which could make it more expensive.
- Make sure it's delivered on time! If you are shopping online - make sure the presents are going to be delivered on time! Use our guide to Christmas online delivery dates to check.
- Take advantage of in-store offers: If you are shopping on the high street, you can still get good deals - especially on beauty products. Boots and Superdrug both have a 3 for 2 offer on gifts and cosmetics. They're both likely to have offers if you spend a certain amount on one brand - you might get a free make up bag or something similar - which would make a great present or stocking filler! Brave the Christmas crowds and shop around to see who's offering the best deals.
