Dales Directories Will Writing Service

Why do you need a Will?

DID YOU KNOW? •...that it's estimated 66% of UK population have NO Will and 95%+ have NO Trusts?

Some common misconceptions: “ Our children will go to my parents/next of kin if we both die together” - WRONG Without a valid Will appointing Guardians, your children will be placed into care by the local Authority. “ If I die, even if I don’t have a Will everything will go to my spouse”

•...that without a Will you cannot be sure those you would wish to benefit will actually do so? •...that without a Will your spouse or civil partner will not automatically inherit ALL of your estate? •...that without a Will Common Law partners may not receive anything?

- WRONG Without a Will your estate Will enter into lengthy Probate and Your spouse may not inherit 100% “ Most of my wealth is in my home - that’s safe”

•...that without a Will minor children could be taken into care whilst Guardians are appointed?

- WRONG if you go into long term Care, your home and savings are Assessable for means testing and you may be forced to sell your Home to pay for your care.

Looking After Your Health & Well-being of Shiatsu and has loved every minute of it. She now works three days a week as a vet and on a Thursday and Friday with her Shiatsu clients, this has given her the right work life balance that she needed. About Shiatsu

I went to see Patricia Gomez from Shiatsu with Patricia shortly after Christmas. We’d had an appointment for me to sample a Shiatsu treatment in the tranquil space she’s created in her garden. My first impressions of the ‘log cabin’ was that this was the most perfect peaceful place to receive a massage, the cabin was lovely and warm and I could hear chimes blowing gently in the breeze outside. Patricia is a petite gently spoken woman with a lovely smile, and she immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Patricia asked me some questions about my general health and wellbeing, and listened intently while I told her that I was feeling quite muggy headed that day, probably from all the food and drink I’d consumed over Christmas! I also had a few aches and pains particularly around my right knee after some strenuous uphill walking during the Christmas break. After the consultation, I couldn’t resist asking Patricia some questions, as I was curious to find out why she had chosen to practice Shiatsu. Patricia explained that she trained as a vet in Spain and came to work over here during the last Foot and Mouth crisis. Although she feels very privileged to work as a vet, like so many in her profession she occasionally suffered from stress. She told me that after family illness and bereavement she really needed to spend more time on herself and with other humans rather than mostly animals for. She began searching on the Internet for something to help her recover from her grief, and was for some inextricably reason was drawn to Shiatsu; so in 2011 after falling in love with the therapy she decided to follow her passion enrolled in the British School

Shiatsu is a physical therapy that supports and strengthens the body’s natural ability to heal and balance itself. It works on the whole person - not just with the physical body, but also with the psychological, emotional and spiritual aspects of being. Shiatsu originated in Japan from traditional Chinese medicine, with influences from more recent Western therapies. Although shiatsu means ‘finger pressure’ in Japanese, in practice a practitioner uses touch, comfortable pressure and manipulative techniques to adjust the body’s physical structure and balance its energy flow. It is a deeply relaxing experience and regular treatments can alleviate stress and illness and maintain health and well-being. Shiatsu is traditionally done on floor, and for this purpose I’d worn loose comfortable clothes. Patricia worked methodically and rhythmically around my body applying comfortable pressure to my meridian points, these are energy channels similar to those used in acupuncture. Shiatsu is older that acupuncture and has been around before needles were even inverted! During the treatment I was completely relaxed, I could feel the energy passing through her hands while she gently but firmly stretched and manipulated my muscles and joints easing any tension that she felt. After the treatment I felt relaxed yet energised and more grounded, the experience was something I’d recommend to anyone. Patricia also works as a Volunteer at Nenna Kind cancer drop in centre, where she treats cancer patients and their families or carers; so she’s experienced in working with people with cancer and other terminal illnesses. Please see details below or on opposite page on how to contact her.

Why is Good Posture so Important? Desk jobs are notorious for wreaking havoc and causing postural impairments. Sitting for hours on end staring at a computer screen is likely one of the worst things you can do to your body. While a healthy spine has a slight S-shaped curve, the majority of us slouch into a C-shape when sitting at our desks Usually, if a person sits hunched in front of a computer screen all day, it's likely the head will hover towards the screen, causing the muscles at the back of the neck to remain contracted to hold the head up. The lower back will be collapsed, the tail bone will be supporting the weight and legs will be crossed or wide apart. Muscle tissue will invariably become hard and fibrous. Eventually, muscles can pull bones out of alignment and cause serious problems and discomfort. When we slouch, we are also pressing down on our internal organs, this affects digestion, circulation and breathing capacity. Oxygen and nutrients will not flow efficiently through the body.

To begin to correct our posture, we must first become aware of the habitual stresses and tensions we hold in the body. Receiving full body massage will help immensely in bringing these problems to light. It is very difficult to correct postural alignment without professional help. The solutions can be simple, but we must be aware of the factors involved in why we are creating our own particular condition. To completely re-align the structure we must “clear the decks” of the inevitable accumulation of held tensions in the body. We can then really begin to take the full benefit of implementing new ways of moving and sitting in our daily lives. Our health and well being, usually, only ever really improves when we begin to make conscious decisions about how we look after our body. "Good posture is a dynamic, working awareness of how gravity is coming down through the body." Roblewski

Best Wishes, Dave Hoyle

Correct Posture at the Computer Desk • Feet flat on the floor, to give a "tripod" of stability for the spine to rest on. Adjust your chair or use large books under your feet. • Feet apart, not crossed. • Knees are bent with a slope up to your hips, so hips are higher than the knees. • Front of the seat not touching the back of the calf. • Eyes level with the top of the screen. Adjust monitor level. Ears should be in line with the shoulders • Bottom against the back of the chair. • Shoulder blades touching the back rest. Drawing back your shoulder blades and down will lift your chest up and out, helping avoid rounded shoulders. • Take frequent breaks, with regular stretching or

The bottom line is, poor posture can lead to muscular stress and fatigue, leading to deficient circulation, challenged immunity and poor lymph flow. Ultimately bringing low energy, frequent illness, headaches, digestive issues and deteriorating agility. Good posture allows the muscles around the lungs to stretch, allowing you to take fuller breaths, boosting productivity, concentration and focus.

They can also help you get any legal requirements in place to making your life easier and by project managing the job from start to finish. DC joinery always aspire to carrying out their work to a very high standard.

He told me that he’d been self-employed for the last five years, working on local projects and sub-contracting for a large building firm in Derby. He served his apprenticeship at Key Joinery in Derby who do a lots of work for Bowmer & Kirkland. During his apprenticeship he ‘cut his teeth’ working on the Bench, building large reception counters, doors and many door frames! After his three year apprenticeship at Key Joinery he moved up to the Machine Shop, where he honed his art even more.

DC Joinery also work with other companies in the area that have the best reputations, so they can build those extensions or fit the latest kitchens and bathrooms, even or renovate a property from scratch.

Dan told me that “whatever your joinery project we can help, from fitting new loft hatches with drop down ladders, for that extra comfort when accessing your loft. To making the bespoke home improvement project you’ve been dreaming of for years”.

My grandson says he hates Maths and his parents are both Accountants! Why, we asked ourselves? What have we all missed, have we done something wrong somewhere? He comes home from Maths and talks about ‘Chunking? What’s chunking?! They didn’t do it like that in my day! Even his parents get a bit confused with it all, and they’re not the only parents too, I bet! Sound familiar? Do you sit down to help your child or grandchild with their Maths homework and end up feeling like us, confused and frustrated? Do you have a nagging feeling that they aren’t quite where they need to be in Maths, but how do you ever know? We took Simon to Kip McGrath for a free Maths assessment. They gave us the feedback immediately and helped clear the fog! Their assessment provided us with a thorough and accurate reflection of Simon’s ability- both areas of confidence and weakness. They were very specific, right down to exactly which sums he could do and which he couldn’t. They told us that it is true for Maths skills from primary to GCSE level.

behind in the Maths stakes and confidence levels. No wonder he hated Maths!! Jo, the owner of Kip, found out during her conversations with Simon that he was a choir boy and loved his music. She was amazing, she flipped the fractions into music and talked about beats per bar etc. in order to teach him fractions. Simon had the biggest grin on his face when he came home and explained how fractions worked like music beats to us. Now that is what I call a personal programme of learning!!!! He will be going to Kip regularly now and Jo will also bring on his reading too!

So don’t wait until your child has a problem, give them a great start to 2015 and call Jo on 01629 56611 for a FREE assessment and get your child on the road to achieving their true potential!

Simon enjoyed his assessment because he found he could do more than he thought he could and he was not pressured and had a supportive 1:1 process. Jo, at Kip had an interesting discussion with him about his views on his ability and how he felt- allowing the process of building self-esteem to begin right from the start. We’d never thought of asking him what he thought or felt. Jo told us that a lack of self-esteem is a major block to learning. The assessment allowed her to gain an insight into how Simon views himself, his achievements and individual learning style. This meant she could put together a personal programme for him. One thing that did jump out at us was his complete non-understanding of fractions. (I hated them at school as well!) We always knew he found it hard but he really hadn’t got the idea at all and his class had moved on from it at school so he was sliding further

COMPUTER TIP Beware! These are scam calls! Mentioned before but a recent incident causes me repeat this. You get a call claiming to be from Microsoft, or even BT. They say that your computer is giving errors and it's causing problems on the internet. They then go through a number of things which 'proves' they are right. All are complete twaddle! Once they've convinced you they get you to let them connect to your computer. DON'T DO IT! If you do they can do anything they like and will persuade you to pay money. No-one will call you because you've got a computer problem! And internet connections don’t show phone numbers For full details check out the website.
