How to Advertise with us

This year has flown by really fast and I can hardly believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Christmas always starts for me on the first weekend of December when the Victorian Fair comes to Matlock, and this year I’ll be singing with the amazing DaleDiva on the 5th December in Hall Leys Park, I can’t wait.

I’m especially looking forward to this Christmas as my mum’s coming to stay, she normally comes to stay in the summer months but this year she’s braving the cold Derbyshire air to spend time with her family. I hope you all get chance to visit your loved ones this Christmas.

I’d like to say a massive thank you to all our advertisers for supporting The Dales Directory and choosing to advertise within it. Thanks to all those readers - especially those who took the time to provide us with feedback ( good and bad). I wish you a very Merry Christmas and I can’t wait to share our next issue with you in the New Year.

If you’ve a family, your purse or wallet is probably crying. Having children is a terrible investment. You fork out an es�mated £200,000 per child by the �me they reach age 21. Of course, if you’re happy to be repaid in hugs, it's all more than worth it. Yet a few �ps to ease the burden never go amiss…

Take your kids to TV shows for free

If your kids' favourite sentence is "I'm booorrred", you can get 'em out of the house without breaking the piggybank. TV shows need bums on their seats, so you can o�en apply online for free �ckets at via sites like www.sroaudiences.com and www.applausestore.com – the la�er's seeking Are you missing £1,000s of childcare help? audiences for Sky Sports' Saturday Night Football There are two big ways you may be able to get cash if (ages 12+) and Britain's Got Talent 2014 (16+). you pay for childcare. First, do you work over 16 Ensure you’re paying less for power hours a week (you and your partner if you’re a couple) and earn under around £41,000 in total? If that’s you, check if you’re eligible for childcare tax Lots of people in the house means big energy bills – credit. This can be serious money – many get over more rooms, TVs on full blast, hea�ng all that water – £3,000 a year. To find out if you’re due, call 0345 300 it all adds up. Ensure you’re on the very cheapest 3900. deal. It only takes a few minutes. Just plug in where you live to an www.ofgem.gov.uk approved comparison site and it’ll find your cheapest.

'I saved £3,000 adding mum and dad to car insurance' Added to the fear of seeing your teenager on the road, the cost of insuring one to drive can be terrifying. One trick, if they’ve their own car, is to try adding extra drivers with good records (eg, mum and dad) who may occasionally use the car. It's trial and error, but can have a big impact, as it did for one of my Twi�er followers (join me at @mar�nslewis): "As a new driver my insurance wanted £5,000. A�er adding mum and dad, it dropped to £1,900."

Give pocket money as pay – otherwise you're 'trust fund teaching' Pocket money's under-rated as a way to teach kids core money lessons, provided you reward a work ethic, and don't just dole it out. It teaches how to manage an income – by having a regular amount of money you start to learn the concept of saving versus spending.

It also incorporates “opportunity cost” - whether they'd be be�er off spending the same cash on something else. For a young child this is perhaps “do However, you must never say someone's the main driver when they’re not. That’s called fron�ng and it’s you want to buy swee�es with your money every week, or save up to get the toy that you want?" illegal.

Pets at Christmas Christmas time is an exciting time of year of everyone in the family, especially for your pets! Each year, we as vets see the same problems occur. So here as some simple tips and things to look out for, to save yourself an unscheduled visit to the vets this festive period!

Food - To avoid your pet getting a severe bouts of gastroenteritis (upset stomach) it is wise to leave pets with their normal food (which they are usually just as happy to eat at Christmas time!). Also important is disposal of carcases where your pet cannot get to them. Small bones will struggle to pass through a pet’s intestines if not digested properly, which may require surgery to remove.

Chocolate - Is toxic to pets and can be harmful. As a responsible owner, it is your responsibility to ensure your dog doesn’t get their paws on the stuff! If your dog does eat chocolate you should contact the vets urgently.

Decorations - Every Christmas houses are decorated with festive décor from front to back, and your pets will find these items irresistible! For cats they can prove an exciting obstacle course. And for dogs, baubles and tinsel could be tempting chew toys! Be alert at this time of year for pets climbing to places they shouldn’t be and eating things they should not be!

Antifreeze is very palatable to cats but the smallest amount ingested can be fatal, causing irreversible kidney failure.

Non - Invasive Fat Removal Technique Using Cryotherapy How does it work?

Fat cells are slowly frozen between -5 and -9 below zero initiating a natural call death process called ‘Apoptosis’.

This is a safe, affordable and has no downtime at all.

Dubbed the machine of the decade.

Until recently, this method was exclusive to Harley Street. Cryotherapy is FDA approved and is being used to smooth and contour the body’s shape.

It is taking the celebrity world by storm with the incredible results it is creating.

Lipoglaze™ by Lovelite™, provides that incredible alternative to going under the knife, and is specialized for targeting stubborn hard to shift areas that dieting and exercise cannot do …

Before & After Treatment

What is Lipo-Ice?

About me!!!

This is a specially formulated liposuction alternative. I am a Harley Street trained technician for Lipoglaze™ by Lovelite™. By using Cryotherapy, Lipoglaze™ carefully freezes away fat cells and thus provides you with a fat removal treatment without surgery.

Lovelite™ Lipoglaze™ is based on the study of Cryotherapy and researched and developed by leading Harvard scientists.

They concluded, that if the body's temperature is reduced in specific target areas below 0 degrees (ie - build-up of fatty tissue on the lower abdomen) this causes cells to go through a natural cell death, also known as apoptosis. Through your body’s metabolism, these cells then get processed through your liver to be excreted within a process of three weeks to three months. A reduction is seen in this time and can continue to occur up to 5 months post procedure. This treatment is approved by the FDA.

I have a medical background in Diagnostic Radiography and currently specialise in PET/CT, the latest cancer scanning technology. I also have qualifications in Advanced Personal Training and nutrition.

I have used Lipoglaze™ myself and was so amazed with the results. In 4 weeks I had lost 6cm around my waist.

I was struggling to lose the last half a stone after my second baby and felt really disheartened with all the effort I had been going to in attempt to lose this last half a stone. After reading about Lipoglaze™ I was a little sceptical about the amazing results that were being reported. I had tried all supplements available including Raspberry Ketones, Green Tea, Mango Extract and many more, all with no success.

So I gave Lipoglaze™ a try and was amazed by the outcome. The advantage of Lipoglaze™ is you can target problem areas directly and shape your body to achieve amazing results.

The Benefits of Lipoglaze™;

Lipoglaze™ Availability

Lipoglaze™ can destroy up to 33% of fat in one session, the temporary side effects may include: redness, tingling sensation, light bruising, tenderness, cramping and shortterm dulling feeling.

Smooth’s and contours the body’s shape You can target hard to shift areas as such as: Upper, middle and lower abdomen, flanks, inner and outer thighs, under arms and stubborn areas of the back. Let’s not forget to mention we can also target ‘man boobs!’ Treatment time between 45-60 minutes per area.

Specialised for targeting stubborn hard to shift areas, Lipoglaze™ provides that incredible alternative to going under the knife, with no down time at all!!

Remember, unlike other alternatives, this actually kills the fat cells and the body cannot reproduce these cells. Other alternatives only help to shrink the fat cells, the way that dieting does.

This exclusive treatment is now available to you. As one of a few trained technologists in your area this can come to you in the comfort of your own home.

If you would like more information about this procedure and pricing, please do not hesitate to contact me on:

If this doesn’t convince you take a look at the Lovelite™ website at www.lovelite.co.uk.

A Derbyshire English teacher’s, story I am a local Derbyshire English teacher and work in a State school with students doing their English GCSE’s. I love my work and am extremely proud of my students and their progress during the two years they are with me. However I have to tell you about Sophie, one of my students who sat her GCSE Language and Literature exams last summer 2013.

Despite my best efforts, Sophie was lacking in confidence in herself, frustrated and confused all at the same time with her efforts in both Language and Literature. We had her down to sit the Foundation papers as she was routinely getting D’s and E’s for her work. This meant that a grade C would be the best she could hope to achieve. No wonder she and her parents felt disappointed and demotivated. It is extremely difficult to give one student some real time when you are in my position with larger groups of mixed abilities, but I always felt that Sophie was far better than she believed.

Luckily Sophie’s mum had heard of Jo at Kip McGrath and took Sophie along for an assessment in September 2012. After a comprehensive analysis, Jo passed Sophie to Julie (one of the Kip teachers) and they began work. I must confess I had my doubts when I heard that she was going to Kip McGrath for some lessons.

there too I would guess! I spoke to Jo during the summer and discovered that Sophie was typical of the progress that they regularly achieve with their GCSE Students when they can work with them on a one to one basis.

Sophie’s parents said that Kip McGrath had been very affordable, but then as they also said ‘what price do you put on a daughter who went from looking at leaving school without a decent English grade to one who is beginning her A levels as I write?’. They fully intend to get her back to Kip when she is in her final year of A levels as they can tutor in those too!

I just had to write this for other parents who feel their child would benefit from additional tutoring at such a crucial time, don’t blame us in mainstream school, we love our work and always give of our best!

Good luck with the A levels Sophie!

All the best from me, your school English teacher, (and not forgetting Jo and Julie at Kip McGrath!)

The relationship between Julie and Sophie blossomed and although Sophie continued to lack some selfesteem and confidence in her own abilities she soon began to feel confident in Julie’s skills. As a result Sophie began to take ‘risks’ and have a go at things she had been avoiding (and in my classroom as well!).

She learnt how to identify and describe features of written English and how to analyse a text. She began to write her own original pieces. She continued to make errors but bit by bit, some areas of her work began to improve.

With Julie’s support and encouragement, Sophie and her parents approached us at school and asked that Sophie be allowed to sit the Higher GCSE papers and, based on the progress she was beginning to make, I recommended she should and the school agreed.

By Easter she was improving in leaps and bounds.

Her confidence grew dramatically; she tackled new challenges with enthusiasm and began to talk about staying on at school to do her A Levels. I contacted the Kip tutor Julie and congratulated her on the amazing turnaround that I had seen in Sophie’s levels in both English Language and Literature. It was lovely to see Sophie, head held high and full of optimism as she went in to sit her GCSE exams in June. I no longer had my doubts!

And the final result?... Sophie thrilled us all by achieving a grade B in BOTH English Language and Literature. A fantastic result for her, a credit to Julie at Kip McGrath and an emotional moment for the team
