Highly recommended!

Gordon O’Hara – Basildon Essex “Ports is great; although I can paint I’m terrible with wallpaper and needed my chimney breast papering as my feature wall, after retrieving a few quotes, and finding them a little steep, a family friend recommended Ports, very reasonable, paper was up in no time, came back the following morning to finish the edges once the paste had dried, really happy with it.

Thanks Port Prestigious.”

that’s going underground to look at Crossrail works and tunnel-boring machines or poking around brandnew train carriages.

It was therefore with great delight that the team and I greeted our recent visit to Upminster’s tube depot, where we learned about forthcoming improvements to the District line service, got to see where our tube trains rest at night and operated the tube simulator where drivers carry out their training.

Julia Lopez

Member of Parliament For Upminster & Hornchurch Perhaps I was a train-spotter in another life, but I admit that one of the things I enjoy most as an MP is the chance to see infrastructure projects being delivered – whether

The Circle, Hammersmith & City, District and Metropolitan lines cover some of the oldest sections of the Underground network, dating as far back as 1863. They accommodate around one million passenger journeys every day, and comprise around forty per cent of the network. There is currently a major upgrade programme underway across the four lines

that has already seen the delivery of new, air-conditioned ‘S-stock’ trains with ten per cent more space. However, there is much more to come.

Once all the new signalling, points and track are in place, TfL expects the District line to be much more reliable and trains more frequent – up to 32 an hour once the works are complete in 2023 – with capacity increased by a third.

All this means fewer delays and, vitally, a better, shorter commute for Upminster residents as the new system whisks them into town at higher speed.

If you have a problem you think my team and I can help you with, please drop us a line! Or if you would like to come and have a look around parliament, we can book you in for a complimentary tour.

Cloudy2Clear Announce Trusted Trader Partnership Consumer champions Which? have now joined the thousands of customers who recognise that Cloudy2Clear Windows really are a business that you can TRUST. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has received the coveted ‘Which Trusted Trader’ status after going through a rigorous accreditation process entirely focussed on customer service.

Group Managing Director Marcus McGee believes that Which? have endorsed Cloudy2Clear’s long standing company

policy of delivering the highest standards possible at all times. ‘Our service is simple. If your double glazing has misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 25 year guarantee.

But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Whilst a number of tradespeople perhaps don’t focus on customer care as much as they should do, we make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle.

Locally Cloudy2Clear service Upminster and

Cranham & manager Chris Miller agrees that this approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated as both my customers and, obviously a body as nationally important as Which? now recognise.’

So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Chris a call for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

RECIPE Bone Broth Ingredients: 4lbs beef or chicken bones 12 cups water 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1 medium onion, roughly chopped 3 large carrots, chopped 2 leeks, chopped 3 bay leaves 4 sprigs fresh rosemary 6 cloves garlic 1 tablespoon black peppercorns

Method: 1. Preheat oven to 200c and line a baking sheet with foil. Place the bones on the sheet and roast for 40 minutes. Flip them halfway through.

5. For beef bone broth simmer for 48 hours, for chicken 24 hours.

2. Once they’re cooked, break them down and place in a large stockpot. Cover with the water and vinegar and allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.

7. Transfer the broth to an airtight container and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight. This will allow the fat to rise to the top and solidify.

3. Add the chopped vegetables and add to the stockpot. Bring to a rolling boil and then lower to a simmer.

4. For the first 2-3 hours make sure you skim off any foamy layer that develops on the top and discard.

6. Allow to cool slightly and strain.

8. Scrape the fat off the top with a spoon. This will leave you with a gelatinous bone broth when cold.

9. Store in an airtight mason jar or freeze until ready to use then slowly warm the broth over a low heat or drop straight into soups and casseroles.

HOW CAN I START SAVING IF I DON'T HAVE ANY SAVINGS? Firstly, if you find yourself in this situation, you are not alone. Over 40% of people in the UK either have no savings at all or just a small amount of cash, less than £500, put away.

Many people have had no pay rise, or below inflation salary increases, since the financial crisis. With the cost of goods and services rising, many would be savers would love to be in the position of having spare cash to put away every month but simply don’t have any money left over at the end of the month.

There are plenty of financial advice sites and blogs that will tell you to give up that expensive gym membership, take a packed lunch to work and stop buying coffees and you’ll have loads of spare cash. I certainly advocate reviewing the standing orders and direct debits that come out of your account to make sure you are still using them. It is often enlightening also to analyse what you actually spend, rather than what you think you spend, on entertainment, clothes and eating out.

However, we don’t all have the time for this and for many that coffee out with a friend is a pleasure, that gym membership is good for their health and the thought of packing lunch to work as well as everything else that needs to be done in the morning is too much!

Fortunately, there is another way!

In September 2013, a new service called the Current Account Switching Service (CASS) www.currentaccountswitch.co.uk/ came in to being. The reason for this was that in the UK we are statistically more likely to get divorced than we are to move our bank account.

The government looked in to why this was and, for many, it was the fear of something going wrong or a payment being missed. CASS was

18

introduced to stop this by putting the banks in charge of the process of switching everything for you, rather than the individual having to change payments or set up new direct debits and standing orders.

Now, it is possible to move bank accounts in as little as seven days.

You simply apply for your new account, ask your new bank to move your old account using CASS and tell them which date you want to switch on and the rest is done for you! You will get any new cards, and internet banking log ins ahead of your switch and your balance will be transferred on the agreed date with all your payments set up.

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one – it is even guaranteed that, in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, that any charges or interest incurred will be refunded to you.

All the major bank account providers are covered and almost all the market participates and over 3 million people have successfully switched bank accounts using the service.

Why is this relevant if I have no savings?

The introduction of CASS means banks are competing harder for switching customers and there are some great incentives on offer – both to switch and by way of perks in the new account. Up to £250 is payable - just for switching!

This is money that you could use to kick start your savings. Here’s our run down of some of the best offers in the market.

Clydesdale / Yorkshire Bank The best financial offer to switch comes from the B account offered

by Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks. £250 is credited to your account within 70 days of your switch. You do need to meet criteria for the account such

as having £1,000 paid in per month (typically for most people this will be done by having their salary paid in) and log on to your new account via the mobile app or online banking.

The account pays 0.25% interest and comes with an instant savings account paying 0.50%. There are better rates on the market (the current best buy on www.thesavings.guru pays 1.30%) but for those who want to keep their savings in the same bank as their current account, it does at least pay some interest.

Further information and applications can be found at: www.youandb.co.uk Halifax Those switching to the Reward Current Account will see £125 credited to their account within three days of the completed switch and will also be paid £3 a month just for being a customer.

Put these in to a savings account and you will have £161 at the end of your first year plus interest.

A minimum of £750 must be paid in each month so this may be more attractive for switchers on lower salaries.

Further information and applications can be found at: www.halifax.co.uk/ bankaccounts/cur rent-accounts/ reward-current-account/ HSBC Switching to HSBC’s Advance Bank Account or Premier Banking Account will be rewarded with £150 for switching and another £50 if you are still using the account and meeting the criteria at the end of 12 months.

The main ones are paying in £1,750 a month, having two direct debits and registering for mobile and/or online banking. The account also entitles you to open a regular saver which pays 5% on contributions from £25 – £300

per month for 12 months.

Further information and applications can be found at: www.hsbc. co.uk/1/2/current-accounts/hsbc-advance First Direct First Direct is an internet and telephone bank that prides itself in its customer service and phones are answered by a person, not a machine to direct you. They win pretty much every banking customer service award going but are also owned by HSBC so customers can use their branch network as well. They currently offer £100 to switch to their 1st Account and £100 if you are not happy and leave after six months but before a year has passed.

You must pay in £1,000 in the first 3 months to qualify.

They too offer a linked 5% regular savings account, like HSBC, and offer some of the cheapest loan rates in the market plus an overdraft of £500 with the first £250 of that being free.

Further information and applications can be found at: www. firstdirect.com/1/2/banking/current-account Nationwide Although Nationwide do not offer an incentive for switching, they do pay 5% interest on their Flex Direct account on balances up to £2,500 for the first 12 months for customers who pay in at least £1,000 a month.

For those who have their salary paid in to their account and then pay out gradually over the month, this may prove attractive. For example, if you have £2,500 paid in at the start of the month and gradually use that over the course of the month, you may average a balance of around £1,000 over the course of the month which could earn you £50 or so of interest throughout the year.

Further information and applications can be found at: www. nationwide.co.uk/products/current-accounts/flexdirect/featuresand-benefits Some of the links on this page are quite long and you may not want to type them in. You can access this article on our website at www. thesavings.guru and click through direct to the websites mentioned.

There’s something so satisfying about crafting at home. Whether you’re making cards for loved ones, gifts for friends or just something delicious for yourself, you can’t beat the feeling of saying “I made that” and whiling away an hour or two doing something constructive.

CHRISTMAS WREATH WHAT YOU NEED: Plain pre-made wreath (available from Amazon online or local garden/craft centres) Selection of baubles of choice Craft wire

1. Making your own wreath is super simple. Firstly choose a base these can be purchased online or at a local store and can either be artificial or real.

2. Choose a selection of colour coordinated ribbons and baubles to arrange on your wreath. Tartan ribbons in shades of red and gold work well, as do neutral shades of silver and white.

3. Roughly position them onto your wreath and then secure in place using silver craft wire.

Friends of Upminster Park The Friends of Upminster Park is a voluntary group which exists to help maintain and improve the park to a high standard, in liaison with Havering’s Parks Department, for the benefit of all users. It is a valuable local resource when open green spaces are becoming scarce and we would like it to remain a pleasant environment for local people to enjoy, whether to walk or relax in, to play tennis or football or any other leisure pastime (or even just to enjoy passing by the park when shopping).

We are however in desperate need of new members, including a Chair Person, without whom the Group could cease to exist with detrimental effect on the park and its users. We meet on the last Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm in Trinity Church (Gaynes Road entrance). If you would be interested in joining the Group please contact Brian Flavell, e-mail: brianm1937@ yahoo.co.uk Friends of Upminster Windmill Volunteers are sought to help us develop and maintain an attractive garden area around the new visitor centre at Upminster Windmill. Our small friendly group meets on Tuesdays. If you would like to help email charlottethemiller@ gmail.com or enquire at the site on a Tuesday.
