Cloudy2Clear Windows – Service With A Smile! It’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes – not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Chris Miller feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is 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 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving

people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. 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. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole.’ Cloudy2Clear service Canvey Island and the surrounding area and Chris is finding

that his 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.’ 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!

STEAMED UP DOUBLE GLAZING? Don’t replace the Frames... just the Panes!

be as daunting as a yearly pap. Try exercising with a workout partner who will keep you committed and not let you cut corners. 4. Make it a Habit - Fitness isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. By thinking of exercise as just one of many important health habits, working out will become just as automatic as brushing your teeth. 5. Get a Goal - When starting or even maintaining a workout, motivation is key. Jot down your goal and post it in a prominent place like your bathroom mirror. Whether you want to lower your cholesterol or fit into your size 6 jeans without a struggle, chasing a goal is the best way to keep you moving toward fitness.

10 Ways to Make Fitness Fun! 1. No Excuses - The most important part of getting fit is to stop making excuses not to. We all are crunched for time, sore, and just looking for an excuse to stay in our jammies. But no excuse is good enough for you not to take care of your health. Start taking a “no-ifs,ands,-or-buts-about-it” attitude toward fitness. 2. Be Flexible - You don’t have to pack your workout into just one time slot. If you need to, break your workout into two or more smaller workout sessions spaced throughout the day. You’ll get great results and will still have time for the rest of your responsibilities. 3. Find a Friend - For some, working out alone can

6. No Gear Needed - Don’t have the dough to dish out on a fancy gym membership? Luckily, plenty of recession-proof exercise routines don’t involve a gym, equipment, or cash. These exercises have the added benefit of freeing up your schedule, since you won’t have to head off to the gym to get in a sweat. 7. Jam Out - Music is a great way to make it over that last hill on the trail. But we can get in a music rut just as easily as we get ourselves into workout ruts. 8. Change Scenery - Go outside once and a while. The white walls of your gym can get monotonous. 9. Mix It Up - If you’re like most people, you like routines (manicotti Mondays, sauna Sundays). But strict routines can wreck havoc on your fitness. Doing the same exercises day in and day out can bore both your muscles and your mind. When many women get bored, they just stop. 10. Set Mini Goals - Dropping 20 pounds or running a 10K can be daunting, but when we set mini goals, we make progress more attainable. Try to lose five pounds or clock in 30 mins on the treadmill; then go from there. Accomplishing our goals keeps us moving forward and challenging ourselves to meet even bigger ones in the future--like that marathon.

June’s Gardening Tips It’s finally summer! June is a great month to enjoy working in the garden. Flowers are in bloom and the borders will be looking their best. Also a month to harvest early fruits. To maintain your garden so that you can enjoy it longer, carry out the following tasks.

• Regularly remove weeds but continue to take that

extra bit of care in doing so. The seedlings from last year are already coming up, so keep checking before you pull. • Keep weeds & moss clear from garden paths & patios. • Give young trees, half-standard shrubs and standard roses a sturdy support stake and check the ties regularly.

• If you are using selective weed killers against

persistent weeds, cover neighbouring plants before you use them or place a sheet of plastic with a slit over the weeds (or over-proliferating plants like bamboo) to avoid killing them too. Limit the use of these products as much as possible! • Place plant supports between tall growing perennials before they grow too big. • Remove overblown flowers and seed boxes from ornamental flowering shrubs like rhododendron. This stimulates the development of new shoots. • Ensure abundant flowers on your Wisteria next season by removing the overblown flowers and seed pods. If you like the decorative pods and you don’t mind fewer flowers next season you can of course leave them on the shrub. However, please be aware that if children have access to your garden, all pods must be removed. They are highly poisonous! • Check your plants for snails and slugs at least once a week, but preferably daily. Young leaves in particular are very appetizing to them. Delphiniums, young seedlings, or a Hosta that is just poking its fresh young leaves above the ground can be devoured in one night. • Ornamental shrubs need some manure too, and hedge plants need even higher doses. They stand closer together and therefore have to compete for nutrients. • Leave spring-flowering bulbs, like Tulips and Hyacinths, undisturbed until the foliage has died back. Naturalising bulbs, like Spanish squill, Muscari, Crocus and Narcissi can similarly be left in the ground. Don’t remove any foliage until it drops off. • Roses are in full flower by now. Check for lice and other pests or diseases every day. Take action at the first sign of trouble. • Remove spent flower heads from Roses and perennials.

Happy Gardening Everyone!
