Post Christmas Financial Blues? It’s around this time that the credit card statements land on our doorsteps and we realise how much we actually spent over Christmas and the New Year. For a lot of us, the reality is that we can no longer afford to pay the credit card bills and loans in full as and when they fall due. So, what to do? Well, there are a number of measures you can take to avoid your credit history being ruined or impaired. Do a Budget – make a full list of your income and expenditure and identify where all your money goes. Be honest with yourself. Cut out some or all of the unessential expenditure. You may have some tough choices to make. Shop Around – you might be able to get cheaper rates on your credit cards, loans, insurances and mortgages, or cheaper gas and electric, (or consider a meter for utilities such as water).
Get Advice - If you’ve cut expenditure to the minimum and still have more expenditure than income, or if you’re considering cancelling important financial planning payments such as life insurance, income protection or pension contributions, then you should seek independent debt advice immediately. You may have heard about various debt solutions such as Debt Management Plans, Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA’s), Debt Relief Orders and Bankruptcy, There are also similar solutions for limited companies that are experiencing financial problems. Information on all these solutions is available on our website www.debt-advice-blackpool.co.uk Tim Johnson is a Managing Partner of Debt Advice Blackpool, a free Debt Advice Service for Blackpool and the Fylde. He is also a professionally qualified Financial Adviser and Mortgage Broker

THE TRUTH ABOUT SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS by health and fitness expert Pam Tribick. Why is it so complicated to lose weight: counting points, combining food colours, the list of complex diets is endless. It’s not necessarily easy but there really is no secret to successful weight loss. No magic cure, no amazing diet. The choices which will make you look and feel the way you want to are there for the taking but the bottom line is: to lose weight you need to burn more calories than you eat. To reduce calorific intake, consider: Eating smaller portions. Making compromises, e.g. cheese or butter on a jacket potato, not both. Get thin crust pizza and pile on the veggies - forget fat laden pepperoni or sausage. At least you’ve got a pizza! Dessert is a habit. Habits can be broken. We don’t eat desserts because we are hungry. Alcohol consumption increases high calorie food cravings. If certain foods are irresistible, consider giving them up completely. Someone I know can’t eat butter in moderation so she doesn’t buy it. Think about what you eat. Do you really need it? Will it help you achieve the shape you want or will it take you further from your goal? And of course, there’s exercise; when we were younger we may have been able to eat what we wanted and not gain weight but as we get older we can’t get away with this as we tend not to move as much. The choices to lose weight are within your control: if you want to eat it you have to move more, if you don’t want to move more then don’t eat it. As well as teaching fun and friendly classes Pam is a highly qualified Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer and Sports and Remedial Massage Practitioner. If you would like further details or an informal chat with Pam, please ‘phone (01253) 867883 or 07900 683 551.

BE UPRIGHT, CONNECTED and TRULY HEALTHY GET RID OF BACK PAIN, STIFF NECK, HEADACHES, TRAPPED NERVES, DISPLACED PELVIS, KNEE PAIN, ETC… Did you know that the Atlas bone (First cervical vertebra at the top of the spine) is misaligned (or luxated) in most humans? We define the Atlas as misaligned when the convex bony formations (occipital condyles) on the sides of the hole in the base of the skull (foramen magnum) do not properly fit into the convex receptacles on the top of the Atlas (superior articular facets). Furthermore, one side of the Atlas (transverse process) is inappropriately locked in front of another bony formation of the skull (styloid process of the temporal bone). This condition leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Fortunately, it is now possible to relocate the Atlas to its correct position using the AtlasPROfilax method. This technique was discovered and developed in Switzerland between 1993 and 1996 by RenéClaudius Schümperli (who was himself painfully affected by a misaligned Atlas).

It may also result in neurological disorders due to the pressure on the lower part of the brain stem which deals with vital functions. Also, due to the connection of our vertebrae to the energetic pathways of our internal organs and emotional patterns, such a twist of the spine is able to unbalance the psyche. How is this different from chiropractic work? The Atlas correction is a unique, effective, nonmedicinal method and requires no cracking neck or manipulations. It is not an adjustment but a powerful relocation of the Atlas. We massage the tight muscles around the base of the skull where the Atlas is trapped and release it. The atlas moves into full location in one session. We do not require more treatment, only a follow up to make sure it is stabilized and to offer additional support for the selfhealing process. How do we relocate the Atlas?
The AtlasPROfilax method is unique worldwide and corrects a misaligned Atlas with only one application, accurately, safely and permanently. The AtlasPROfilax application consists of a safe, The Atlas carries not only the skull, but also facilitates SUSPENSION, BALANCE, and CONTROL strategic, non-chiropractic massage to the short muscles of the neck, to loosen the tension and allow of the human spine and skeletal system.

Major Refurb for Thornton Little Theatre Wyre Borough Council has announced a £220,000 refurbishment and expansion of Thornton Little Theatre in advance of a major new management partnership with the Paul Nicholas School of Acting. Development work includes the creation of a new entrance, foyer and multi-use function room, which will be used either for small meetings or additional theatre changing facilities. Building work is due to start in 1 March and should be finished by mid-June. While the refurbishment is taking place, council officers are striving to ensure it is Business as usual by keeping the venue open for as long as possible. Tom Pridmore, Director of Leisure Services, said: "This major refurbishment marks a new era for the theatre and moreover the local community who have supported the venue and helped business grow since its first refurbishment in 2003. The development will provide new meeting space and better customer facilities including a permanent bar. This will be operated by the theatre’s friends group, who provide such enthusiastic and valuable support." Since it’s re-launch, when the venue changed from the then little-used Thornton Lecture Hall to the now popular Little Theatre, event bookings have grown year on year. Council officials are now keen to see the venue fully reach its potential and in a unique partnership forged with the Paul Nicholas School of Acting who will make the venue their national headquarters, the venue will host more community activities. In order to facilitate the work, there will be some disturbance to existing hirers. However council officials are keen to minimise the impact and are working with all those groups who have bookings at the venue to ensure that as many events as possible are able to continue. Councilor Peter Murphy, portfolio holder for Living Communities, added: ‘The council is making the investment in the facilities in support of a new management arrangement with the Paul Nicholas School of Acting. "This will in turn reduce the ongoing subsidy of the venue and lead to new programmes for local people to enjoy. While some disturbance is inevitable we hope our existing customers will be patient and appreciate the investment being made to improve facilities for them."

LINK-Sport TCFC MAINTAIN POLE POSITION Thornton Cleveleys FC maintained pole position at the top of the Sports 360 West Lancashire League Division 1 with their latest league win against Slyne with Hest. A 4 – 1 win with goals from Bailey, Dawson, Langton and Borrowdale made sure they put 11 valuable points between themselves and their third placed opponents and 2 points over 2nd placed Fleetwood Hesketh. This win followed on the back of a hard fought 1 - 0 away win against Hawcoat Park – a game which created few chances but non the less proved that John Mendoncas team can dig in and carve out a win even when their opponents do not allow them to play their usual free flowing attacking football. Norcross were unlucky to find Hall ,Frankland and Smith on form for Thornton as they ran out 1 – 3 winners . The latest victory over Slyne not only secured three valuable league points but capped a 12 game winning streak that TCFC statisticians and historians believe to be a club record. With only 9 games remaining and only 5 games required to guarantee promotion to the West Lancs Premier League manager Mendonca was keen to point out that he is not taking things for granted . “We have shown this season that we can play attractive passing football but have also shown we are resilient enough to grind out a result as and when required and also have to maintain maximum concentration in each and every game we have left.” Looking towards the run in Mendonca also pointed out that the growing number of supporters that are coming to watch his team both home and away will be key to them joining the West Lancs elite “ At each home game we have noticed the numbers of people we have coming to support us has been increasing week on week .
