Hi ,

3 THINGS YOU MUST DO THIS WEEK

Save between £70 and £140 a year... with this ingenious Radiator Booster (as seen on BBC 2's Dragon's Den). Using patented technology, it will warm a room in up to half the time, allowing the boiler to shut down sooner, saving heating time and cost - for a running cost of about 30p a year! It's adjustable in size, has a built in thermostat and could save an average household between £70 and £140 per year.
 
We've teamed up with Nigel's Eco-Store to offer Moneymagpie readers the opportunity to pick one up for the knock-down price of £16.99 (RRP £20) - but hurry, this offer only runs until 15th July (or while stocks last). The weather might be warm now, but with energy prices due to rise by as much as 20% this summer you'll be glad you made this purchase come winter! Get yours here.
 
Make money recycling books... clean out your clutter and sell all those old books you never read to Greenmetropolis.com. They'll pay you £3 for every book sold (you can donate £1 of each sale to your favourite charity if you wish). It's an easy way to pick up a bit of extra cash - click here to give it a go. We like the fact that Greenmetropolis live up to their name by donating 5p of each sale to The Woodland Trust as well. Don't forget you can also buy books from the site (for £3.75, free delivery) if something takes your fancy...
 
Get a great mobile deal... Tesco have a brilliant smartphone deal running at the moment that's blowing its competitors out of the water. They're offering either an HTC Wildfire or a Blackberry 8520 Curve (both crammed with music, video and internet capabilities) for just £20 a month on a 12 month contract. You have to pay £50 towards the cost of the handset, but they offer more minutes and texts than most of their rivals. For just £20 a month, you get 750 minutes, 5,000 texts and a 500MB data limit. See the HTC deal here and the Blackberry here.
