The property market shows signs of picking up - but there's a warning that flat owners are struggling to progress up the property ladder. The estate agent Hamptons says about one in five people who bought a flat five years ago has marketed their home for less than they originally paid for it. Also today - the latest estimates are that energy bills are on the rise again. We'll find out what that means going into the winter, when our usage increases too. Sake is booming - we'll hear from someone who runs courses making it. High heels aren't booming - why have we gone off them? And have you noticed that bottle tops don't come off as easily as they used to? It's all in the name of recycling, but not everyone's happy... PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
