A LOCAL AGENT WITH BUYERS & KNOW-HOW
Hi there, Welcome to our August edition I’m sure you won’t believe me but Summer is still going strong. Dare I say it but it looks like the weather men and women have finally got it right for once and England has actually had a Summer! I hope you are all coping with the heat though and as always don’t forget about older neighbours, the heat can be just as testing as the cold. We have another great little article from the Danny Green Fund this month. As always they are working as hard as they can and helping unfortunate Children more than you can imagine. There is also a great little article from Jeffries Solicitors about a very modern and brilliant idea to plan ahead for those of you in serious relationships.
make the most of your garden this summer and we also have a list of jobs for you to get on with this August. In this months kids quiz we have a Power Rangers DVD up for grabs. Remember you’ve got to be in it to win it! Last month’s quiz winner was Callum & Sophie Axford from Thundersley who won the DVD. Congratulations!

Fajita Chicken Kebabs 500g skinless chicken breasts, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tbsp chili powder Zest & juice of 1 large lime, 1 clove garlic, chopped, 1 jalapeño, chopped, 1 large red & 1 green pepper, 1/2 tsp salt 1 large red onion, Salsa, sour cream and guacamole
Ingredients Method 1

Serves

Prep 20 min › Cook 0 mins › Ready in 20 mins
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Place in a zip-top bag. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the canola oil, lime juice and zest, chili powder, cumin, garlic, jalapeno, and salt. Pour over the chicken, seal the bag, the gently “squish” the bag so that the chicken is coated with the marinade. Place the bag in a baking dish to catch any accidental drips, then refrigerate for 30 minutes or overnight. If using wooden skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 20 minutes prior to use. When ready to cook, heat your grill to medium-high. Cut the bell peppers and onion into 3/4-inch chunks, then thread onto skewers with the marinated chicken pieces, alternating the chicken with the vegetables. Lightly oil the grill, then place the kabobs on the grill, cover, and let cook until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink, about 6 to 8 minutes, turning the chicken once or twice throughout so that it cooks evenly. Remove the chicken kebabs to a serving plate and sprinkle with cilantro and a few squeezes of fresh lime juice. Serve warm, garnished with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole as desired.

SECOND CHARGE MORTGAGES A secured loan (second charge mortgage) is a borrowing option for any legal purpose with terms between 3 and 35 years, depending on your individual personal and financial circumstances. It is secured against your principal residence, which is usually already subject to an ordinary first charge mortgage. The main questions to ask yourself, to see if a secured loan could be the option for you, are:• Are you already on a competitive mortgage rate that you don’t want to change? • Does your existing mortgage have heavy penalties if you try to remortgage? • Do you need funds quickly with no upfront fees? • Has your credit status deteriorated since their last mortgage application? • Do you need to be able to pay back your loan early? • Are you unable to obtain a remortgage or further advance? If you have answered ‘yes’ to any or all of the above questions you should talk to ZIng Mortgages. To book an appointment call us on 01245 673578 / 01277 285235, or email us on brokers@zing-mortgages.co.uk or please visit www.zing-mortgages.co.uk for more information.

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 Benfleet, Thundersley, hadliegh &
Daws Heath and 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!

FAMILIES COME IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES… Did you know, cohabiting couple families were the fastest growing family type between 1996 and 2016, more than doubling from 1.5 million families to 3.3 million families. However, research shows that whilst cohabiting families are the fastest growing, they are also less stable than married families. Still, over 25% of people asked thought cohabiting couples had the same rights as married couples; this is not the case. No; there is no such thing as ‘common law husband/wife’. Despite this, only 15% of cohabiting couples had an agreement about their ownership of assets or what would happen to assets should the relationship end. Some may say it is ‘cold’ to have an agreement drawn up but if you can’t talk about it when all is well, it can be even worse when the love has gone. If you and your partner are setting up home together, we can prepare a bespoke document that sets out what you both agree should happen if true love does not run smoothly. There is no fuss, we try to avoid lawyer speak and we certainly don’t want to step on the toes of true love – just smooth the pathway.
At Jefferies, we are specialists in all areas of Family Law, whether you are married or not, or have issues in relation to children. For more information, call us on 01702 443480. What’s more, we are offering a 20% discount if you instruct us on any new family matter in August 2017, so now really is the right time to ask those questions you’ve been meaning to.

On the 5th October Joe Maxwell , a sports physiotherapist who works at Benfleet physiotherapy ,will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of The Danny Green Fund. Joe was very touched by the hard work and determination that the children he works with on behalf of The Danny Green Fund show while taking part in the sessions aimed at helping them to achieve their dream of walk again unaided and to become more independent. Joe is fundraising for the charity as over the last few years he has had the chance to work with some very special children, he feels that being a part of something that will improve these kid’s life is truly rewarding and really puts things into perspective on how lucky most of us are to have had some sort of childhood. These children have spent months or even years in hospital, when they should be out playing and living their lives. And then they face years of therapies to help
them recover from the disabilities they have received as a result of PFS and surgery to remove their brain tumour. Sadly, there is very little help available on the NHS for children with PFS and this is why The Danny Green Fund ensures that children do not have to face Posterior Fossa Syndrome alone, we are with them every step of the way. But we couldn’t provide this support without people like Joe fundraising and supporting the work of the charity. If you would like to sponsor Joe for taking part in this epic event please take a look at his justgiving page - www.justgiving.com /fundraising/joemaxwell Alternatively you could support Joe by attending a charity Indian night at the Maharaja, London Road, in Benfleet on 29th September, tickets cost just £22 and includes a meal and disco. Please email the charity on info@thedannygreenfund.org.uk to book you place.

TH E HITMAN’S B O DYG UA RD MOVIE PREVIEW Release Date: 18/08/17
From The Bodyguard parodying poster to the Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson starring trailer, The Hitman’s Bodyguard looks a whole lot of fun.
This Article is Sponsored by
Directed by The Expendables 3’s Patrick Hughes, the action-comedy sees the two A-listers share quips as they work together to defeat Gary Oldman. Yes, really. With a cast also including Salma Hayek, Richard E. Grant, and Daredevil’s Élodie Yung, the film has some great talent behind it. Watch the UK trailer below. The official synopses reads: “The Hitman’s Bodyguard is an action comedy about the world’s top protection agent (Ryan Reynolds) and his new client: a notorious hitman (Samuel L. Jackson). They’ve been on opposite ends of a bullet for years but now must come together for 24 hours to get from England to The Hague. The only thing standing in their way is the murderous dictator (Gary Oldman) who uses his power to create trouble for the pair at every stop along their way.”

GARDENING IN AUGUST A month to enjoy the garden but don’t forget to keep up with your garden chores before Autumn gets here. There’s always something to be doing in the garden, whether it’s pruning, tidying or sowing, so we’ve put together our top gardening tasks for August. IN THE FLOWER GARDEN • Keep your Camellias and Rhododendrons well watered at this time of year to ensure that next year’s buds develop well. • Keep patio container plants well watered and feed with a liquid fertiliser every fortnight. • Stake tall or top heavy Dahlias and Lilies to prevent wind and rain damage. • Dead-head bedding plants and perennial plants to stop them self-seeding and to encourage further flowering into the autumn. • Dead-head lilies for a better flower display next year. • Trim your lavender plants after they?ve finished flowering to keep them compact. • Cut back faded perennials to keep borders tidy. • As your Penstemon flowers fade, cut them back to just above a leaf to encourage more flowers. • Cut back herbs now to encourage a new flush of tasty leaves you can harvest before the frost. • Prune summer flowering shrubs once they have finished blooming. • Prune your Wisteria after flowering by removing all the whippy side-shoots from the main branch framework to about 20cm from their base (about five leaves from the main stem). • Prune climbing roses and rambling roses once they’ve finished flowering (unless they are repeatflowerers in which case leave them). • Take cuttings of your favourite tender perennials such as pelargoniums and fuchsia to propagate them for next year. • Finish dividing clumps of Bearded Iris now so they have time to form roots and flowers buds for next year before the cold weather arrives. • Now is a good time to spray ground elder (and other perennial weeds) with a glyphosate-based weedkiller as the plant has lots of leaf surface area with which to absorb it. FOR YOUR LAWN • Don't worry if your lawn is looking brown, the autumn rains will soon make it green again. • Don't feed your lawn with a high-nitrogen fertiliser now as this will encourage lots of lush new growth which is easily damaged by autumn weather. • Lawn growth slows down in late summer so raise the cutting height of your lawn mower to help the grass cope. • Recut any lawn edges if needed. Try installing lawn edging to make future maintenance easier. • If your lawn is infested by ants, brush out the nests on a dry day. Always brush them away before mowing.

crashes and everyone dies. The next morning the man gives the watchman a $1,000 reward for saving his life and then fires him. Why did he fire the watchman that saved his life? Don’t forget some times the answer is the simplest thing. Unlike this next one! I bet you all get the calculator like I did! There are ten people in a house. Everybody wants to make a hand shake with only people shorter than themselves. Assume everybody is different in height. How many hand shakes are made?
OUR HEAD SCRATCHERS OF THE MONTH We have a couple a bit different for you this month. There is only three but they are much longer than recent months. Here’s your first one. Make sure you read it twice!
Final one here, I hope you all still have some hair left on your heads. Don’t forget all the answers are at the back.
One morning an airline president is leaving on a business trip and finds he left some paperwork at his office. He runs into his office to get it and the night watchman stops him and says, “Sir, don’t get on the plane. I had a dream last night that the plane would crash and everyone would die!” The man takes his word and cancels his trip. Sure enough, the plane
A boy goes and buys a fishing pole that is 6’ 3” long. As he goes to get on the bus, the driver stops him. The driver tells him that he can’t take anything longer than 6’ onto the bus. The boy goes back into town, purchases one more thing, and the driver allows the boy on the bus. What did the boy buy, and what did he do with it?

you don’t want to waste the money. But what if the motivation won’t come back? 2. Do a half of your usual workout If you don’t feel like workout, maybe you feel like a half of it. Of course a half-workout is only a half measure, but still it’s better than not going at all. Allowing yourself for cutting a session by half, you have some uplifting perspectives. You’ll spent half the time and energy you usually need, plus you’ll stay in the routine of going to the gym. Another possibility is that during the workout you’ll feel you can actually do the whole of it. Sometimes it’s difficult to simply get out of the house, but as you’ve already made the first step, every following one seems easier. 5. Change something
POST-HOLIDAY MOTIVATION Don’t let your holiday ruin all that hard work. The weight goes on a lot easier than it comes off! You were working out real hard for this perfect body before the vacation – the beach outfits oblige. You had a clearly stated goal: make your body look great in the sand-water-and-sun scenery. Now your body does look great, so what a waste it would be to give up the workout now. But as the vacation is gone, it gets really hard to make yourself go to the gym. What can you do to overcome this post-holidaygym crisis? Here are some solutions scrutinised. 1. Get it together and go anyway Easier said than done, right? Not everyone is able to simply grit their teeth and go on. You may try it for the first several days – maybe the crisis isn’t that severe you think it is and the motivation will be back soon. Especially if you really like the gym you go to, so you paid for some longer period of time in advance and
Maybe the lack of motivation derives from the fact you’re bored with your usual workout. The same places, the same people, the same exercise routine you’re performing on and on. But hey, no one says the way you exercise now is the only right way for you. You may work out and be equally active doing many things other than exercising at the gym. If you don’t want to go to the gym, look for some other activities that will make you try something new, learn some new things, meet some new people. Look for some new, interesting stimuli that’ll make you feel excited about exercising. There are plenty options to choose from, starting with dancing classes, ending on martial arts. 6. Set a new goal That may be the most serious source of your break down: lack of goal. Before the holiday you knew exactly what you were working out for: you had a vision of your looks, maybe some numbers you were trying to reach to, a deadline, and the perspective of an upcoming rest and fun. Now you’ve got no aim. And that is what you should change if you want your determination back. Either set a fitness goal or book a race or anything you need to be fit for in the near future!

Advice from Essex Police on
Keeping your property safe on warm nights 1. Cars on the drive? Are the windows shut and doors locked? Don’t assume that by pressing the button on the remote it is locked, try the handle too. If you are a two-car family, it is worth parking one in front of the other.
If you do hear a suspicious noise in the house that you are not happy with, dial 999. In the unlikely event you do have an intruder, please remember, your life is more important than your property. However, if you can do so safely, try to note as much information as possible, such as a description and a vehicle registration/index.

4. Patio door? Someone may have closed it but did they lock it? 5. Windows? Lift the blinds or open the curtains and check your windows are secure. Ensure all accessible windows are closed and locked. If you live in a bungalow or have flat roofs, keep windows closed and locked in unoccupied rooms but, if you need a window open for ventilation in occupied rooms, lock the big window and just have the small one open. If you only have big windows, consider a lockable window restrictor or a small sensor alarm at the window to detect entry. 6. Are unnecessary appliances are turned off?
