HOME ORGANISATION PRO DILLY CARTER SHARES SOME SIMPLE JOBS TO GET YOUR HOME READY FOR WINTER NOW

When it's cold outside, there's nothing better than getting yourself warm and cosy at home.

Gas and electricity prices can be a concern, but there are lots of handy hacks for making sure you are being energy efficient.

Professional organiser and TV personality Dilly Carter highlights some of the quick jobs you can get done this weekend to set your home up for the colder months.

"A smart meter is probably the simplest place to start," says Dilly. "If you can see how much energy you're using, and when, you know where you might be able to cut down."

Smart meters are installed at no extra cost by your energy supplier. Their simple display shows you how much you're spending, in pounds and pence, in near-real time.
