Of course there are all the regulars too as well as our new columnist Jeremy Eyeons from RSPB who will be talking us through all things avian, make sure you turn to our nature feature on page 25. For the last month we have mainly been packing boxes and arranging the move to our new offi ces, which (fi ngers crossed) by the time the magazine is out we should all be settled in to.

Red Lion Quarter UPDATE! Spalding Springs into Action
Unless you have been submerged in a bubble of post-Christmas haze, you will surely have noticed the staff and contractors diligently working to finish the grand, brand-new food heritage centre, ‘Red Lion Quarter’ in the centre of Spalding recently. Due to open in early April, the multi-use building is nearing completion with the finishing touches, snagging and commissioning of the building to take place in early February, encouraging local residents to get very excited indeed.
Externally the building is almost complete and this week has seen work commence on refurbishing Red Lion Street. Over the next couple of weeks, the road will be resurfaced and access to the street will be revamped, paving the way (like it?) for the external hard and soft landscaping on Red Lion Quarter to be finalised. The hoardings will also be removed shortly, and with growing anticipation, Spalding will soon be rejuvenated with the construction of the brand new development ending within the month. Spalding company, ‘BlueBeetle Signs and Graphics’ has been commissioned for the Red Lion Quarter’s signage and are another local resource that have benefitted from the spending ethos of the Community Interest Company
(CIC) that has taken ownership of the development. Internally, the installation of the ‘Sage’ training restaurant facilities, state-ofthe-art kitchens and preparation areas has commenced and in the last couple of weeks, finishing touches to the internal joinery, doors, screens, glazing, ceilings and flooring areas has been completed. The final brush strokes are being put to the painting and decorating, transforming the development from building site to ready for opening. The ‘Food Court’ is also nearing completion and both local and regional food growers and suppliers are being contacted offering them the opportunity to display their produce. State-of-the-art offices, complete with outdoor terraces and private meeting and conference facilities, occupy the top floor of the development, providing great views across Spalding are now ready to go onto the rental market, with rental figures and service charges to be released within the next few days. The chance for local companies to be a part of this exciting new complex has ignited a lot of interest with many services already approaching the management teams, keen to make the most of the opportunity to be in in such a prominent area of Spalding. In addition to all the exciting building work, details of Boston Colleges course listings have just been released with part time and short courses available in; Teaching (qualifications for staff working in the educational sector), Hairdressing, Basic Make-up, Basic Skin Care, Hand and Nail Care, a range of ICT courses, Accountancy, Adult Literacy and Numeracy and of course Catering to

Advice
Christmas was expensive - you owe money on your credit card, your bank account is overdrawn and you are struggling to pay back a loan so what can you do?
D
•
Step One – make a list of your debts
• • • •
on’t panic, but it’s important to do something, because the problem won’t just go away. Don’t ignore the people you owe money to (your creditors). Contact them to explain why you’re having problems and follow these steps to help you get back in control of your fi nances.
Before you can tackle a debt problem, you need to collect together information about your aff airs. Make a list of all your creditors with the following information: the name and address of the creditor the account or reference number the amount you owe. It’s a good idea to keep the latest letters for each debt together in one place so that you can easily fi nd them. If you’ve received any court papers or letters that seem urgent, you may need to act quickly. If you’re not sure what you should do next, get advice straight away from an experienced adviser. Once you’ve made a list of all your creditors, you need to work out which ones to deal with fi rst. You need to deal with some debts fi rst before others because the consequences of not paying these debts can be more serious than for other debts. The debts you deal with fi rst are called priority debts. The debts you deal with after your priority debts are called non-priority debts.
Step Two - Prioritise Your Debts, including
Mortgage or rent arrears. If you don’t pay these, you could lose your home Fuel arrears. If you don’t pay these, your fuel could be cut off council tax arrears Court fi nes such as magistrates’ court fi nes for traffi c off ences arrears of maintenance payable to an ex-partner or children. This includes Child Support you owe to the Child Support Agency Income tax or VAT arrears TV licence or TV licence arrears - it’s a criminal off ence to use a TV without a valid licence and you could be fi ned.
Step Three – work out your budget
List all the income and expenses for your household. Be honest and make sure that the amounts are realistic. You can use a budget sheet to help you do this. Under income, include: earnings for your partner and yourself any benefi ts you are paid, including Child Benefi t and tax credits maintenance from an ex-partner for you or your children. Include any Child Support from the Child Support Agency contributions from other members of your family and any lodgers. Think about the ways in which you might earn extra money or increase your income. You may be able to claim benefi ts or tax credits. Under expenses, include: • Housekeeping. Fill in realistic amounts for what you spend on all your expenses, including food, cigarettes
• • • • • •
and pet food Housing costs. This should include mortgage or rent, a second mortgage or secured loan, service charges and life or endowment insurance cover attached to your mortgage Council tax Fuel and water charges Telephone charges Travel expenses. Include both public transport and the cost of running a car such as road tax, insurance, and maintenance Insurance such as buildings and contents insurance on your home Childcare costs TV licence and any TV rental costs clothes Any other essential expenses Money you set aside for emergencies.
When you’ve added up all the fi gures, you’ll see if you have any money left over to pay your debts. You may even be able to see if you can make some savings. An advice agency can help you draw up a budget and help you increase your income if this is possible.
Step Four - sort out your priority debts
agreement between you and your creditors about how you’ll pay off your debts. Get more advice from an experienced adviser about IVAs putting all your debts into one loan. This is called loan consolidation. It isn’t usually a good idea to borrow more money to get out of debt and there can be serious disadvantages. Make sure you get advice before you take out another loan. If you have little or no money left after you’ve done your budget, have nothing of value to sell and think your circumstances are unlikely to get better soon, you will have limited options for dealing with your non-priority debts. The options you’ll have are: • asking your creditors to write off your debt • applying for bankruptcy • applying for a Debt Relief Order. This is like bankruptcy but for people who can’t aff ord to make themselves bankrupt. You can apply if you have debts of less than £15,000 and a low income. The application has to be made through an adviser called an ‘approved intermediary’.

Step Five sort out your nonpriority debts
How you deal with your non-priority debts will depend on whether you have any money left over from dealing with your priority debts and paying for essential household expenses. If you have money to spare, you may have several options for dealing with your non-priority debts. You may have the option of: making off ers to creditors yourself asking an Advice Agency or Debt Management Company to make off ers for you applying to court for an Administration Order. You can apply for an Administration Order if you have at least one county court judgment against you and debts of less than £5000 arranging an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA). This is a legal

Love is in the Air?
Roses, chocolates and fl owers are all wonderful surprises this Valentine’s Day. A sexual harassment claim or employment tribunal on the other hand, are the kinds of surprises that any small business owner will want to avoid. We all know the pitfalls of the offi ce romance and the many reasons to avoid them, but that doesn’t seem to put people off . A survey by CareerBuilder.com reveals that in 2009, 40% of respondents admitted to dating a co-worker, with 18% indicating two or more such relationships. An additional 12% would get involved if the opportunity arose! However as we all know, the path of true love never runs smoothly and employers should be aware of distractions, tensions and even jealousy arising from a workplace romance giving the potential to aff ect employees’ performance or even leading to claims of sexual harassment and discrimination. And with employers paying out almost £8m in discrimination compensation during 2009, double what it was in 2008, there’s no doubt that this should be top of the list for any small business owner. While it would seem extreme in modern times to ban relationships between colleagues altogether, not to mention near impossible to manage, there’s no doubt that an employer
Advice will need to have some degree of control over workplace liaisons. Wendy Ingrey, Director of The HR Dept based in Lincolnshire, advises that every small business owner should have a sensible and transparent policy in place. “As with any policy, guidelines on offi ce romances should be clear, fair and followed consistent. It is an employer’s responsibility to make sure that employees are made aware. The organisation should think about what it considers to be unacceptable behaviour or misconduct in the workplace. This may include inappropriate physical contact; inappropriate use of language; or personal use of company communications systems.” In addition to this, Wendy suggests that “organisations may include a clause in senior employees’ employment contracts prohibiting relationships with subordinate employees within their own teams, departments or locations”. The HR Dept is a local business specialising in advising small and medium sized businesses on all employment and HR issues. For help and guidance with your HR needs email wendy@hrdept.co.uk or phone 07984 539502.

Health & Beauty Crystal of the Month Labradorite Susan Yoxall of Fenchancements introduces us to a new crystal
A beautiful iridescent crystal of grey, blue and gold, Labradorite is a highly mystical stone full of esoteric knowledge. A stone for protection from the negativity others push upon us, banishing the fears and insecurities we have, allowing our minds to calm and focus on the important things in our lives. As a healing stone, Labradorite helps to reduce our stress levels, relieves PMT and lowers blood pressure. It is used in the treatment of eye and brain disorders, and can aid the regulation of your metabolism. Labradorite is also said to balance hormones, treat rheumatism and relieve gout. It can even
help in the treatment of colds. Spiritually, Labradorite helps us raise our consciousness and aids psychic intuition allowing us to connect to the universe, therefore enhancing our understanding and knowledge. Labradorite helps us keep our feet on the ground, giving us strength, allowing us to view the bigger picture, sometimes we all need to remove the blinkers!
For more information and guidance visit Fenchantments at 14 Knight Street, Pinchbeck or call 01775 719461.
Preventing colds and flu Many people believe vitamin C can cure the fl u and echinacea can prevent colds. But is there scientifi c evidence to back this up?
Vitamin C
“Research has found no evidence that vitamin C prevents colds,” says Dr Hasmukh Joshi, vice-chair of the Royal College of GPs. In 2007, the authors of a review of 30 trials involving 11,000 people concluded that, “regular ingestion of vitamin C has no eff ect on common cold incidence in the ordinary population”. A daily dose of vitamin C did slightly reduce the length and severity of colds. When it comes to fl u, one person in three believes that taking vitamin C can cure the fl u virus. It can’t. “Studies found that vitamin C off ers a very, very limited benefi t,” says Dr Joshi. “I wouldn’t recommend it.”
Echinacea
The root, seeds and other parts of echinacea plants are used in herbal remedies that many people believe protect them against colds. There have been a number of studies into echinacea’s eff ect, but no fi rm conclusions. A review of trials involving echinacea showed that, compared with people who didn’t take echinacea, those who did were about 30% less likely to get a cold. However, the studies had varying results and used diff erent preparations of echinacea. It’s not known how these compare with the echinacea in shops. This review also showed that echinacea did not reduce the length of a cold when taken on its own. “There is a belief that echinacea aids the immune system, but a survey of studies in 2005 showed that it did not,” says Dr Joshi. “I wouldn’t recommend that it helps, but if people believe it, they can take it. There’s no harm in it.”
Zinc
There is some evidence that taking zinc lozenges as soon as cold symptoms appear may reduce how long a cold lasts. However, some trials have found no diff erence in the duration of colds in people who took zinc compared with those who did not. There has also been research into nasal sprays containing zinc. “Some people believe that the zinc lines the mucosa [the lining of the nose] and stops a cold virus attaching itself to the nose lining,” says Dr Joshi. “Unfortunately, this
14 SIMPLY SPALDING www.simply-spalding.co.uk
By Hayley Willerton
has been found to be no more eff ective than a placebo.”
Getting cold or wet
The only thing that can cause a cold or fl u is a cold or fl u virus. Getting cold and/or wet won’t give you a cold. However, if you are already carrying the virus in your nose, it might allow symptoms to develop. A study at the Common Cold Centre in Cardiff found that people who chilled their feet in cold water for 20 minutes were twice as likely to develop a cold as those who didn’t chill their feet. The authors suggest that this is because some people carry cold viruses without having symptoms. Getting chilled causes blood vessels in the nose to constrict, aff ecting the defences in the nose and making it easier for the virus to replicate. “Getting a cold from going out in the cold or after washing your hair is a myth,” says Dr Joshi. “Colds are common. If the virus is already there and then you go out with wet hair and develop symptoms, it’s common to think that is what caused it.”
So what does work?
The fl u vaccine can prevent you from catching fl u. Apart from that, the best way to protect yourself from colds and fl u is to have a healthy lifestyle. “Eat a healthy diet, take regular exercise and drink plenty of warm drinks in the winter months,” says Dr Joshi. “The important thing to remember is that most people are going to catch a cold in winter anyway, because there is no eff ective cure for cold viruses.”

Hypno-Band Weight Loss System The Virtual Gastric Band
The sad fact is that diets don’t work! How many times have you dieted and lost weight only to put it all back on again? The problem with diets is that they do not deal with the reasons why people over-eat in the first place and so as soon as you stop dieting you go back to your old habits and eating behaviours and before long all the weight you lost is back, and more! Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Hypnotherapy we can help you change your eating habits forever! If you are really committed to losing weight then the Hypno-Band will enable you to achieve your goals.

The Enchantment of Fenchantments
S
ue Yoxall of Fenchantments in Pinchbeck explains about their diff erent approach to the resolutions we all start every New Year! We all make resolutions that we have little or no intention of keeping; _TONIC TEMP WEB 20/01/2011 10:50 Page 1 most of us have broken them by the end of January!
“Instead of making yourself feel guilty for not sticking with it, how about making a promise that you will enjoy life in whatever way you are able to? Here at Fenchantments we believe that a little bit of ‘me time’ goes a long way to keeping our mind, body and spirit in a happy, uplifted and positive state. When was the last time you had an hour just for you? With no interruptions, no phone ringing, no demands, just quality relaxation time? You need to appreciate your attributes – you are priceless. We have a variety of gifts for those people in our lives who we would truly like to give them something special and a bit diff erent. Whether that is wind chimes, books, crystals, candles, incense or individual handmade bespoke jewellery. We also have a beautiful therapy room where we provide a varied range of treatments given by qualifi ed therapists. Treat yourself to a pampering or you could give to a loved one a gift card for a therapy. The range of therapies includes Indian head massage, Hopi ear candles, clairvoyant readings and much more. We also off er a range of Well-Being therapies to suit your individual needs; help you combat stress, anxiety, depression or illness, or just to give yourself that energy
boost we all need from time to time. We can help ease the aches and pains through meditation and relaxation sessions, which may include Reiki, Energy and Crystal healing. Although we never claim to cure, we know we are able to help ease the pain but we always wish for miracles!” Do you ever have the thought “I must be psychic” when something a bit unusual happens? Ever wondered if you could challenge yourself to understand why? Why not join Diamond Light Development groups to start you along your path so you can enhance your spiritual and mediumistic awareness. Would you also be interested in workshops? Covering a range of diff erent subjects over the year, run by a group of experienced mediums and healers, it off ers you a chance to enhance your own knowledge and learn some new and exciting skills. It may start you on a ‘Spiritual journey’ which will be balanced, harmonious and rewarding. Also new to Fenchantments is costume jewellery and accessories, jewellery for diff erent occasions and at prices to suit your purse: or something to fi nish the outfi t and hair accessories to complement your unique and individual requirements. If you are interested in any of the above please contact Sue at Fenchantments on 01775 719461 or pop into the shop for a chat at 14 Knight Street, Pinchbeck. Pe11 3RB

Whether you’ve recently got engaged or have been engaged for some time, organising your wedding can be one of the most exciting things you’ll ever do. If your wedding is next year, now is the time to get those creative juices fl owing – and with some organisation and inspiration, you can make sure it’s as stress free as possible. And let’s face it – who needs an excuse to have some fun?
Agree a budget - and st ick t o it! Discussing and setting a budget should be your fi rst priority. You need to talk about what you want to spend and what you can realistically aff ord. Be honest and discuss any concerns you might have – remember, you both need to be happy with your decisions!
Do you have any ideas already? If you don’t, it’s time to start brainstorming! Are there any friends’ weddings coming up soon? They’re always good for ideas. Buy a wedding magazine and start tearing out ideas that grab you. Perhaps there is a local wedding show to go to? You’ll fi nd lots of ideas online – and there are some brilliant websites packed with inspirational ideas, latest bargains and forums to discuss ideas. Sometimes a good starting point is to think about what you both don’t want. Remember to ask friends and family – they might have some ideas you’ve not thought of. BUT, remember, this is your day as a couple, so don’t get bullied into taking on other people’s ideas!
You might fi nd it’s easier to decide your budget by breaking the day into ‘key’ sections: wedding attire, venue (ceremony and reception), catering, fl owers, rings, photographer, entertainment, stationery, transport and honeymoon. If family have off ered to help you with costs, have that conversation now – it’s better for everyone to be in the picture, and then you know how much you need to save. Once you know how much you can allocate to each part of the day, you can start to research your options. The trick is to stick to your budget – believe me, it’s far too easy to get carried away with all the options available.
Get researching
You’ve got plenty of time, so don’t panic. Starting your wedding planning early means you have the luxury of being able to look at all your options – and then again if needs be!

12 mont hs t o go. Where do we st art?
This early on, there’s no point worrying about who’s sitting where at the reception or what your first dance is going to be. You just need to make a start on the basic features of your day. Date – when do you want to get married? If you can pin it down to a certain month, that will help when you get quotes. But remember, some months, like during the winter, are cheaper than others. Midweek is also cheaper than a Saturday. Have you checked with family and friends in case you’ve picked a date that clashes with another family event? Guest List – you don’t need a final number at this stage, but when it comes to getting quotes you’ll need to work on an approximate number. It might also be worth making a decision now on whether to include children into the list – making a rule early on will avoid confusion for everybody. Themes – is there a specific colour or visual theme you want to incorporate into your day? Do you want a relaxed feel or something more traditional? Are there any specific styles that are personal to you as a couple? Venue – religious ceremony, civil ceremony? At home or away? Maybe you fancy ‘the destination wedding’? The choice is endless! Catering – buffet, bbq, sit down meal? Reception – local village hall, pub, hotel, marquee, or something different? A lot of places get booked up early – sometimes a year in advance so you do need to consider this option seriously, especially if you have a particular date in mind. Bridesmaids – if you’re having bridesmaids, how many do you want? Will you be buying their dresses? Once you’ve made your choices, you can delegate work to them. After all, they are your attendants, so you can make them work for the privilege. This also applies to the Best Man! Photographer – do you want traditional or relaxed photos? What about a video? Entertainment – disco, live band, classical music, chocolate fountains, fireworks, highland piper, line dancing, belly dancing… there is something for all tastes and budgets! Transport – limo, classic car, sports car, horse and carriage? Or perhaps you’re thinking of something different? Wedding attire – the men seem to get off lightly here, but as with all things there is more choice the earlier you start to look. For brides, finding that perfect dress can take as long as you want it to, and there’s no harm looking for ideas now. Some dresses need to be ordered, so it’s best to start early. Honeymoon – in most cases, it’s too early to start worrying about this now. But, there’s no harm in looking for ideas now and keeping your 20 SIMPLY SPALDING www.simply-spalding.co.uk
eyes peeled for a bargain. Health and Beauty – it’s time to start looking after your health and making sure you’re in tip top condition for that special day. Healthy eating, exercise, a good skin care routine - maybe even some time for pampering?
Booking
Once you’ve discussed these key areas, the next stage is start getting quotes and making visits. Don’t let any one bulldoze you into parting with your money – make sure it’s what you both want (marriage is about compromise, remember!). Once you start parting with money, keep a record of what you’ve paid for and when final payments are due. Why not set up a spreadsheet with everything on it so you can see what’s been paid? It can be very therapeutic to see things being ticked off!
So to summarise, here is a list of ‘essentials’ to tick off with just 12 months to go… • • • • • • •
Budget agreed Wedding date set (why not send out ‘save the date’ cards?) Approximate guest numbers discussed Wedding venue (ceremony and reception) – getting quotes/ booked Photographer & transport – getting quotes/booked Entertainment – discussing/getting quotes/booked Wedding attire – brainstorming started!
What’s next?
As the months go down, you’ll need to think about flowers, booking your honeymoon, menus, the wedding cake, rings, hen/stag parties, invitations and wedding lists. But there’s no need to worry about any of that now. Just stay calm and take one step at a time, and you’ll enjoy every minute of your wedding planning!

What’s hot this Valentine’s and what’s not! If you think the only thing dangerous about Valentine’s Day is cupid’s arrow, think again! For pets Valentines can be a disaster! Each year veterinarians see a rise in poison cases around February 14th, many involving chocolate and lilies; a flower that’s potentially fatal to cats.
Follow our advice on what you need to keep out of paws way this Valentine’s and leave the day free to enjoy it with those you love.
A thoughtful bouquet or a single rose...
Say it with flowers! Just be careful what flowers you choose. Most people don’t realise that all species of lily can be potentially fatal to cats. If you’re sending your loved one a beautiful bouquet and they have a cat, make sure it doesn’t include lilies. And if you’re one of the lucky ones to receive a gorgeous floral arrangement, delicately sift through it and remove any dangerous flora.
If your pet becomes ill and suffers from symptoms such as stomach upset, vomiting or diarrhea, it’s likely he/she may have ingested an offending flower or plant. And don’t forget that every rose has a thorn! It may be a token of love, but it’s also a thorny attacker for a pet. Animals don’t realise that biting, stepping on or swallowing roses could cause a puncture, which may result in a serious infection. De-thorn your roses far away from your pet.
Forbidden Chocolate
Seasoned pet owners will know the dangers of chocolate for their pets. Chocolate may be the food for lovers, but it is very toxic to dogs and cats. A small amount can cause serious consequences.
Chocolate contains methylxanthine alkaloids in the form of theobromine and caffeine, which cause constriction of arteries, increased heart rate and central nervous system stimulation. This can lead to vomiting, diarrhea,
restlessness, and increased urination, and can eventually cause excitability, increased respiration and heartbeat, stiffness, seizures, and exaggerated reflexes.
“Vets see a rise in poison cases around 14th February - Keep it out of paws way this Valentine’s.” So go ahead and indulge, but don’t leave chocolate out for your pets to find.
A toxic cocktail

Chilled champagne, a glass or two of wine is all part and parcel of a romantic evening, but beware!
Spilled wine, half a glass of champagne or leftover liquor can do a great deal of harm to a pet. Being smaller than humans, a little bit of alcohol can cause no end of problems, including: vomiting, diarrhea, lack of coordination, central nervous system depression, tremors, difficulty breathing, metabolic disturbances and even a coma. Don’t leave any alcohol out where your pet may be tempted to lap it up!
Playing with fire
Are you planning a romantic evening by Candlelight? That’s great, but keep in mind that cats and dogs are intrigued by dancing flames. Not only will whiskers get singed, but sometimes the hot wax will burn their cute little paws and faces. Just be careful. Monitor the candles and try to keep them away from any pets in the house. And when you leave the room, put out the fire - or take it with you upstairs!
Undressed to impress
As surprising as it may be, pets love lingerie —the fancier the better. We’re not kidding! Every year hundreds of dogs and cats undergo extensive surgery to remove panties and bras from their stomachs and intestines.
“Don’t lead them to temptation.” The problem usually begins when your underwear winds up on the floor. Your pet thinks it’s a new toy and sometimes swallows them. Ingested lingerie causes deadly bowel or stomach obstructions and must be surgically removed. Remember to pick up your undergarments before your cat or dog has time to get to them!
A gift of life...
And while you’re giving... Why not spoil your pet this Valentine’s too. As a member of the family, they deserve to be remembered on Valentine’s Day. Visit Rooke’s, talk to a member of our friendly staff and we’ll help you choose the perfect present to spoil your furry friend.
Happy Valentine’s!
Giving a cuddly puppy or kitten may seem a fitting Valentine’s Day gift, but returning a pet you hadn’t planned on is not romantic. Pets bring with them a lifelong commitment and choosing a pet for someone else doesn’t always turn out right. If you think your partner would like a pet, why not provide them with a gift voucher so you can choose one together from a shelter/rescue centre.

HELP YOUR GARDEN BIRDS
Nature
By Jeremy Eyeons, Member South Lincs R.S.P.B.Group With Winter here, spare a thought for your lovely garden birds who have most likely given you hours of free entertainment during the Spring and Summer months. With temperatures often around freezing point they urgently need our help to survive. Finding food and ensuring that they eat enough of it to build adequate fat supplies to store on the body and burn for energy is the greatest test for wild birds during the Winter and the food we can provide can be the diff erence between life and death. During cold snaps the ground becomes too hard for birds like thrushes, blackbirds, sparrows and starlings to forage and probe .
How to Help Our Feathered Friends •
• • •
• • • •
If you haven’t already got one in your garden,set up a bird table.This can be a base for kitchen scraps, high calorie seed mixes,cooked rice and pasta and even the insides of cooked potatoes. Put out hanging feeders with black sunfl ower seeds,sunfl ower hearts,and unsalted peanuts.These will attract fi nches,tits and if you are patient perhaps a woodpecker! Ensure a fresh supply of water every day (Do not use any antifreeze products). Thrushes, starlings and blackbirds love autumn fruits such as pears and apples.If you live in a more rural location these may attract migrant redwings or fi eldfares into your garden.This Winter has also seen a record infl ux into the countryside and gardens on the east coast of that magnifi cent migrant from Scandinavia The Waxwing. Goldfi nches and perhaps siskins love nyjer seeds which are small and black and have a high oil content. Bird cake and other fat based products such as fat balls are an excellent Winter food and are easily and cheaply obtained. Put up nest boxes to provide roost sites for the smaller birds,who in turn may repay you in the Spring by using them for breeding. If food turns stale or mouldy on the birdtable you are probably placing too much out at once.Stale food is a breeding ground for
some types of salmonella which can be lethal.Large quantities of food scattered on the ground can attract vermin-so be sensible with what you leave out. You may witness a fl urry of activity early morning and late afternoon so be selective when you put food out. Finally ,it is important to continue to feed the birds once you start.You may well be rewarded with seeing birds you have never seen before close up and in your garden. Enjoy them! The South Lincs.Group Of The R.S.P.B. was founded in May 1987 and is run by a group of volunteers to promote the work of the RSPB and for the enjoyment of members and all nature lovers locally.Though based in Boston,our membership covers the whole of South Lincolnshire and to date we have contributed approximately £60000 to RSPB conservation projects,with much of this spent locally in the county.The Group has over 300 members who receive a regular newsletter and are able to enjoy a wide range of organised events which are of interest to anyone from beginner to expert. Please visit www.southlincsrspb.org.uk for further information.

By Theresa Geeson
As it is the month of love, Theresa is sharing with you her husband’s favorite dessert that she makes!
Ingredients 3 Medium Mars Bars 100g (3.5oz) Digestive biscuits (9 biscuits) 70g (2.5oz) Butter 125g (5oz) Phildelphia cheese Half teaspoon of cinnamon
Method
To Make the Base: Put the butter in the saucepan and melt it gently on the stove. Put the biscuits into the bowl and crush them with the rolling pin until the look like breadcrumbs.

26 SIMPLY SPALDING www.simply-spalding.co.uk
To Make The Topping: Wash out the mixing bowl. Quarter fi ll the saucepan with water, chop up 2 of the Mars bars and put them in the mixing bowl, put the bowl on top of the saucepan, place the pan on the stove and gently melt the Mars bars. Chop the 3rd Mars bar up and put to one side. When the Mars bars have melted very carefully take the bowl off the saucepan, add the Philadelphia chees and chopped up Mars bar, mix well. Take the biscuit base out of the fridge, pour the chocolate mix on top and spread evenly. Put it in the fridge to set for 2-3 hours. For extra choclolatey goodness dust the top with cocoa powder, this is optional!

visits to the seaside, start wearing floaty summer dresses and sandals and if you’re lucky enough venturing abroad for a much deserved holiday. There are plenty of us who feel healthier when our skin is tanned so whatever your plans are this summer ensure that you tan safely. Safety in the Sun Tanning occurs when the skin absorbs UV rays to produce a substance called melanin, which darkens the outer layers of the skin. Whilst a tan may make us appear healthier it is actually a sign that the skin has been damaged. There is common myth that a sunburn will eventually fade into a tan. However sunburn is bunch of broken blood vessels that form the top of a tan and can have serious side effects including sunspots on the skin, lack of skin moisture and loss of elasticity. Precautions: • Apply a sunscreen of at least SPF15 or SPF50 for kids • Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the UV rays are strongest • Ensure your sunscreen is waterproof & re-apply every 20 minutes • Wear light loose fitting clothes that aren’t transparent • Wear sunglasses that block UVA & UVB radiation Faking It The safest way to achieve that sun kissed look in the minimal amount of time is by faking it. Fake tan does not injure the skin and you can choose which shade you wish to go. You will however still need to apply sun protection when stepping out as you are still likely to burn. Fake tan has come a long way. Gone are the days of looking as though you’ve been tango-ed. Nowadays they are more sophisticated and the products smell pleasant. There are plenty of professional tanning brands available it’s simply a matter of finding the one that works best for you. There are a few things you can do beforehand to prepare your body for your tanning treatment, Ensure that you shave or wax at least 24 hours prior to treatment. Exfoliate the day before your treatment to remove any dead skin cells, paying particular attention to elbows, knees & heels. On the day of your treatment do not moisturise as this may cause patchiness Spray tans are applied by professional technicians using specialised equipment. The process is quick to apply and dries almost instantly meaning no hanging around in your undies. The spray tan needs to develop for at least 6 hours following your treatment where the guide colour is then washed off in the shower to reveal your newly sunkissed body. The length of time a spray tan lasts depends on how well you look after it. Typically they will last anywhere from 1 -2 weeks. When you bathe or shower pat yourself dry rather than rub. Gently exfoliate every few days and apply a moisturiser daily. Convert your in to a usable room from At Oasis Beauty we have spraygarage tanning promotions running throughout Juneas to little as £2999, and completed in one week! assist with your summer tanning needs.

Creating a Feature Wall By Sue Hessom of Tidy Interiors
If you are looking to generate the ‘wow’ factor in your room but time and money constraints won’t allow for a full make-over, then why don’t you just add a feature wall? After all, decorating is all about creating atmosphere and impact and a feature wall can turn an ordinary room into an outstanding one in no time at all. A feature wall can be introduced anywhere in the house, it’s just down to personal preference – but consider your location carefully; remember the idea of a feature wall is to create maximum impact; it should draw the eye as soon as you enter a room or area, so being creative on a wall that sits behind an open door won’t have the same impact and you’ll end up being disappointed with the fi nished results! Once you have your location, your next consideration is the material you are going to use – wall coverings no longer begin and end with paint or wallpaper so it really depends on individual tastes and abilities:- Paint
By Kate Gibbard
The easiest way to create a feature wall is with a fresh coat of paint. If you have a fairly neutral colour scheme this is the easiest option. Just pick out a colour that appears in the accessories or consult a colour wheel to fi nd a tone of colour that will complement your style - don’t be afraid to be bold. You can paint the wall one colour but create a dramatic eff ect by using a paint with a specialist faux fi nish i.e. suede. Or you can add interest by using diff erent fi nishing techniques i.e. rag rolling. If you are feeling really adventurous, generate impact by painting vertical stripes on the wall, just vary the size of the stripes and paint them in alternating colours that compliment the rest of your décor. As long as you have a steady hand, plenty of patience and some masking tape it really is a simple technique to use for a very eff ective look.
Home & Property Feature walls are not all about the wall coverings, you can simply add impact by hanging a nice piece of art, or an oversized canvas on a focal wall and focus the attention on it throughout the day by clever use of lighting. Mirrors are also good for feature walls, just make sure the size and frame will provide the impact that you are looking for.
Wallpaper
Even if you want to keep your room fairly neutral you may prefer to use wallpaper – adding light coloured wallpaper with texture will still provide impact; it will just be more subtle. But, if you like colour you can now purchase some luxurious wallpaper combining rich colours, bold prints and touchable textures that will create a real statement area. Don’t be afraid to use your imagination. The wallpaper might be too much for all walls, but using it on one wall will produce a stunning focal point – just ensure you choose the right colours and design – the last thing you want is to clash with your existing interior.
Other materials
For those who are experimental and into DIY you can be more adventurous and use beautiful coverings made from bamboo, dried grasses, lavish silks, metallic or even woven leather. Reclaimed wood panelling looks fantastic in a bedroom when placed behind headboards, likewise diff erent shaped/coloured tiles look great sat behind the sink or shower area in a bathroom. If that seems like too much work, why not have a look at pre-printed wall mural. They are available in a fantastic range of styles and themes that are guaranteed to generate a real ‘buzz’ with all guests, just search the internet to fi nd a design that you like. They can be printed to fi t the full size of your wall, so are perfect for creating a massive impact on large fl at areas.
Design your own
Feature walls are not all about the wall coverings, you can simply add impact by hanging a nice piece of art, or an oversized canvas on a focal wall and focus the attention on it throughout the day by clever use of lighting. Mirrors are also good for feature walls, just make sure the size and frame will provide the impact that you are looking for. You can also produce a feature using a group of photographs or pictures. They don’t have to cover the whole of the wall – more impact will be created if you stick to one area of the wall. Use diff erent size frames of the same fi nish and play around with the layout as it will have a greater eff ect if the pattern isn’t symmetrical. Whatever your tastes and whatever your budget you can create a real statement with just a little imagination; the most creative ideas don’t necessarily have to be the most expensive. Sometimes a lick of paint is all that it takes!

Business Focus
A New Aspect on Your Property? H
aving worked together for nearly twenty years, Andy Smith and Paul Chiverton were presented the opportunity to start their own business. So, in early 2009 Aspect Home and Garden was born; a local property maintenance company priding itself on serving its loyal customers with a range of quality services with a reliable and friendly touch.
Andy and Paul have always worked locally, mainly in the spalding and pinchbeck areas, and for those not familiar with andy and paul you probably are aware of their work. One of their larger jobs was their input in the complete transformation of the building currently occupied by a property letting company and the adjacent hair salon (situated in the walkway between holland markets and spalding town centre) from dated end terraced house hidden by dense shrubbery to two contrasting and attractive buildings in keeping with the surroundings. More recently, Aspect Home and Garden have just completed the interior renovation of four fl ats situated above The Combat Shop and Gregory’s Girl Hair Salon in The Crescent, formerly occupied by offi ces.
Although Aspect Home and Garden have been involved in larger local renovation projects with local developers as well as providing maintenance services to local property letting agents, they pride themselves on the friendly service they are able to provide to private households. Customers can call andy or paul directly for advice or a quote and they can guarantee that they will be speaking to the people who manage the project and carry out the work, a level of service a larger company cannot always provide. With us all looking forward to spring and summer 2011, it is now the time we all start turning our attention to tidying and improving both the interior and exterior of our homes, not only to enjoy throughout the summer, but to keep safe and sound for the coming winter weather. For friendly advice or to arrange a site visit or quote, speak to Andy Smith or Paul Chiverton directly; Andy Smith: 07794646511, Paul Chiverton: 07854740887 E-mail: andysmith@home9107.fsnet.co.uk Website: www.aspect-homeandgarden.co.uk Aspect Home and Garden are fully insured .

Family Life
Get Out and Socialise! It’s good for you and your children By Kate Gibbard
When you’re a full-time mum, dad or grandparent, it can be easy to get caught up in the 24/7 world of parenting, with its never-ending demands and responsibilities. Sometimes you can fi nd yourself feeling isolated, cut off from your social life. Perhaps you fi nd yourself craving some adult conversation.
has emotional benefi ts – it can be very easy to feel depressed and unmotivated when you’re on your own with a child. Meeting others gets you out of the house, embracing your own identity, which isn’t just ‘being a parent.’ Going out and mixing with others helps beat stress too – as they say, a problem shared is a problem halved. And if you can incorporate some exercise into social activities, even better!
talk to other parents.
According to research by the University of Sheffi eld, social parents actually have brighter children. Researchers looked at the social lives of 3,000 parents, examining whether they belonged to groups such as sports clubs, voluntary or church groups and other community associations. The results showed that children of sociable parents were between one and four percentage points ahead of classmates whose parents led more solitary lives
Building a Social Network Meeting with other parents
Can you join an exercise class or hobby-based activity? Look for something that would involve interaction - it’s no good running on the treadmill for 30 minutes and talking to no one! This would also give you the chance to talk to others who aren’t necessarily parents or carers, a chance to engage in diff erent conversations.
If your child goes to a toddler group or playgroup, why not arrange to meet up with other parents and carers from the group? You could go to a café while the children are having their social time. Or you could invite everyone back to yours for coff ee. It only needs one person to suggest it!
At the weekends, the whole family could visit a local attraction or eat out, giving everyone a chance to interact. Breaking the routine is healthy!
Joining a group
If your child goes to groups in the week, why not look for an activity or group that you can join at the same time?
Check out your local children’s centre as they often run classes for adults that coincide with It’s all too easy to let your child sit and watch classes for children.

Shopping local saves you money Out of town shops have done a good job of convincing us all that sole traders = expensive, but the evidence just isn’t there to back this up . If you add in travel, parking costs, fees to transport larger items home and your time, the overall cost is often much higher. Shopping locally retains our community People don’t like losing shops and services in small towns and villages but don’t equate this to how they spend their money. Shops will only survive if customers spend locally – so if you want a vibrant town centre, where people can socialise as well as shop, shop locally. Shopping local retains our distinctiveness Many town centres in Britain look the same with franchises and multinationals. Our independent shops create distinctive shopping experiences and stock different products. Independent shops keep traditional local products alive. Wherever you see this symbol, you are supporting your local economy

Amazing,
but if your car is up to 2 years old, most insurers won’t give you a new one if it’s written-off.
We do. If your car is written-off or stolen, most insurers will only pay for a brand new car as long as it was under a year old. We do the same if your car is up to 2 years old, even if you haven’t owned it from new. It might seem amazing, but 100 years of good business practice has shown us it’s the right thing to do.
We do right by you
Call 01775 770075 for a quote NFU Mutual Office, Springfields, Spalding, Lincs PE12 6ET Provided you own the car, or it’s on hire purchase terms. The car must be UK specification. If the model is no longer in production, we will pay out the last known manufacturer’s list price. Terms and conditions apply. Agent of The National Farmers Union Mutual Insurance Society Limited.
