Feeding the Birds As winter arrives our feathered friends need a little extra help to feed themselves so making your own Fatballs or cakes is a great help to them. This is a fun thing to make with children but the melted suet could cause burns on young skin so an adult should always handle that stage of the process.

2 packs of Beef suet Chopped Nuts Chopped dried fruit Sultanas, current or Raisins A bag of dried mealworms A bag of wild bird seed An empty food tin, washed and dry A ball of string A pan of hot water A large dish of cold water clingfilm Put the Suet in the tin and stand it in a pot of hot water. I did this on the cooker so I could put a low heat to it if I needed to.You shouldn’t need the heat on all the time - you want the Suet to warm enough to melt, but NOT hot - it will melt through your containers and burn you if you make it too hot.

by Sharon Longshaw When your Suet is liquid, lift the tin carefully and gently pour into your mould. I used a wooden spoon to gently stir the mixture to make sure the Suet was evenly mixed through. Top up as necessary. Make sure you put enough in to hold the dry ingredients together. Poke the string loop down into the middle of each mould. If this leaves a hole, fill with melted Suet. Once I had done all of my moulds, I put them into a shallow dish of very cold water to speed up the hardening of the Suet. Once they were set I put them in the fridge overnight to harden them. Suet is solid but quite soft at room temperature so these are best kept refrigerated until you use them.

The moulds can be washed out yogurt pots, plastic cups, some small jelly moulds or old take away containers.You can use or recycle almost any kind of container.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

See you in the New Year!

While it’s melting, cut lengths of string and tie them into loops - one for each mould. I put a big knot in each one to give the finished feeder a better grip on the string when hung up.

Put a layer of dried mealworms at the bottom of the moulds. Fill them almost to the top with the wild bird seed.You need to put the worms on the bottom so the seed weighs them down - otherwise they all float to the top.

Christmas appeal for Chiane.

Our 5 year old daughter Chiane Cloete was diagnosed in June 2011 with a very rare type of brain cancer called STPNET. Chiane’s cancer is located in her “CNS” (central nervous system). Every cell her body produces, whether it is red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, liver, kidney, heart, gut... Any new cell that the body produce, comes from the CNS...in Chiane’s case, every new cell that her body produce is cancerous... Effecting every aspect and part of her body to become cancer’s.

Chiane relapsed while in treatment at Great Ormond Street hospital (relapse means the cancer coming back more aggressively after or in treatment). We have to raise £130k to take Chiane for treatment in America (Texas).

The treatment in Texas will be her last line of defence against fight ing her cancer… it’s cutting edge gene therapy in the states with high success rates.

We are hoping to raise the money by Christmas as a gift for Chiane. The best Christmas present we can give our 5 year old girl would be her life!

To make a donation, please visit her website: helpmefightcancer.co.uk. We ask only a small donation, what ever people

can afford to donate!!

Chiane also has 2 Facebook accounts..

1. “Chiane Cloete” and 2. “help me fight cancer” If anyone is on Facebook please send her a friend request and help spread the word.

We kindly ask that people help us with networking through facebook, putting her website in your status for a day and ask all your friends to send her a friend request.

If we can get 25 000 people to donate £5 we can buy her a ticket and pay for her treatment in Texas!!! We ask people to help us expose her website and donate only £5! FACEBOOK NETWORKING WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT! Thank you to everyone willing to donate or willing to spread her website to friends and family.

Chris Cloete

Chiane’s father.

How often have you told your kids to “sit up straight” or “stop slouching!”, but do you really know how to sit correctly? Well todays your lucky day! Read on:The message is quite simple, when sitting, aim to keep the normal curves of your spine in neutral, and don’t sit too long without moving around (40 minutes sitting followed by 4 minutes of movement). Achieve good seated posture by:-

1. Sitting with your bottom higher than your knees, this normally means a forward slope of between 10 to 15 degrees.

2. Have your seat high enough that your feet rest on the ground and don’t cross your feet or legs.

3. Sit far enough back that your thigh and but-

shoulders, even headaches, Elevating your screen and using copy holders can avoid this.

These few steps not only lessen back ache but keeps an open body posture; the rib cage is enlarged and your enhanced breathing will allow more oxygen into the blood stream, great for body and brain function.

For our patients we often advise the use of a wedge cushion to sit on. They are cheap, portable and an effective way to be good to your back.

Above all don’t sit more than you need, be active If spending time in front of the computer or at a desk, pull your seat in close enough to avoid leaning and you are more likely to avoid back pain. forward and hence becoming slouched. Arm rests ‘Til next month, have fun. are often unnecessary. tocks are resting on the seat, some seats are too small!

Police across Basildon have been cracking down on metal theft.

Operation Bodmin saw officers set up a road block in Wrexham Road, Laindon to stop check every vehicle that was carrying scrap metal to two local scrap dealers.

Officers were accompanied by Basildon Council’s environmental enforcement officers and benefit fraud investigators, as well as detectives from British Transport Police and cable theft investigators from British Telecom (BT).

Officers stop checked a number of vehicles during the operation, whilst the environmental enforcement officers ensured that those carrying waste and metal had the appropriate registration to do so. The benefit investigators also checked to see that those cashing in on scrap metal were not doing so whilst claiming benefits.

Sgt Paul Costin, the brainchild of Operation Bodmin, said: “We have come across a few people in our checks that we believe are on benefits, but can make hundreds of pounds profit every time they sell on scrap metal, which really doesn’t sit right with me or the law abiding community, so we invited benefit investigators along to ensure that people that claim they cannot work are not making cash elsewhere.”

During the checks, details from eight drivers and their vehicles were taken by environment enforcement officers. Two people stopped did not have their documentation, and both were issued with a document giving them seven days to produce their waste carriers licence or they could face a £300 fine.

After stop checking a van, police recovered shopping trolleys belonging to a supermarket. A 30-year-old man from Basildon was arrested on suspicion of theft and possession of cannabis and a 23-year-old man from Basildon was arrested on suspicion of theft.

They both later received police cautions.

Police have also been informing the scrap dealers about people with previous convictions for metal theft under a data sharing scheme, so they can be better educated about who they are buying scrap metal from.

Sgt Costin added: “The local scrap dealers have been a great help to us since Operation Bodmin launched in March, and by checking their books, we have been able to arrest several people for furnishing false details to hide their criminal intent.”
