It’s beginning

to look a lot like

christmas With the most expensive month of the year straining the purse strings Your Move has come up with some low-cost and family-friendly ways of decorating your home - leaving those extra pennies for mulled wine and mince pies.

10 min

Fresh Table Ornament Here we go...

What you need Vase Floral wire Scissors One or two sprays of red berries Holly Pine leaves and any other greenery you can ďŹ nd in your backgarden and park.

1 2 3

Prepare holly, pine leaves and other evergreen twigs by removing excess leaves. Cut stems on an angle underneath cool running water and change the water daily.

Use the tallest flowers in the centre and shorter flowers around the sides.

For the red berry table wreath, bend the sprays into a smallish circle and hold the shape by tying together in one or two places with a piece of floral wire. Make sure wreath is large enough for vase to fit inside.

child

Home-made wrapping paper

frien dly

5 min

What you need Brown (or white) wrapping paper Poster paint

A large cookie cutter One large potato A fork

Here we go...

1

Carefully cut a slice (as thick as your thumb) from the middle of the potato and press the cookie cutter into the slice.

2

Push out the shape you have cut and dab both sides of the potato on kitchen paper towels to dry it.

3

Press the fork into the shape to stop it getting too messy.

4

Pour the paint onto an old newspaper.

Dip the potato shape into the paint and print it on the wrapping paper. Fill the paper with lots of printed shapes.

PIC WORDS BY DINA KARIM HOT TO

Pine cone wreath

1½ hour

What you need 18-inch grapevine wreath frame from local floral shop An assortment of natural pods, pinecones and seasonal nuts Apples Glue gun Fake snow spray Floral wire

Here we go...

1

Wash pinecones if you’ve picked them up at the park, and let them drip dry on some old towels.

Place on tin foil lined cookie sheets and bake at 200 degrees for half an hour. This removes the resin and at the same time, leaves a wonderful aroma in your home.

Note: If pinecones bought at floral shop skip Step 1.

2

Using a hot glue gun, add the dried decorations (pinecones, natural pods and nuts) to the wreath. Add fresh small apples to the wreath at same time, if you want to make the wreath last longer use artificial apples.

3

When all the pieces have been added, place wreath on newspaper or another surface and spray-paint the snow on the wreath.

4

Allow to dry (may take a few days). When fully dried loop with wire in back to hang.

Hallway Poinsettia garland What you need 1 hour

For a fresh garland, you need rope (1.5m) and enough off-cuts of pine, ivy, holly or any evergreen finds from the garden to disguise it.

Garden twine or wire to attach the garland to banisters and to fix the decorations to the garland itself.

Poinsettia flowers, red berries and any other decorations like sprigs of mistletoe or baubles.

Here we go...

1

2

Before you begin decorating, tie three lengths of string or garden wire at either end and in the middle of the garland, ensuring they are hidden amongst the foliage and that they are long enough to wrap around the banister. These will be used later to fix the garland to the banister.

Cut some rope just short of the length you want the finished garland to be, then using garden twine or wire, attach the evergreen sprigs along its whole length until the rope is hidden.

3

Using wire, attach the red poinsettia flowers, spacing them evenly along the length of your garland. Then add any extra decorations.

4

Putting a garland on a banister is a two person job - one of you needs to hold it, while the other secures it, using the string or wire you attached in step one.

TIP To make garland last longer, use fake red poinsettia flowers as decorations.

NEWS

Hot off the press YOUR GUIDE TO THE LATEST PROPERTY IN LIVERPOOL

Shanghai surprise Liverpool Football Club's goal of leaving a lasting legacy in China has been achieved by sponsoring the building of a new home for a low-income family in Shanghai.

The build, organised by the Chinese arm of Habitat for Humanity, saw Merseyside business leaders donning hard hats to help build the home as Liverpool celebrated the final day of its six-month involvement at the World Expo. After several weeks on the build it is now complete and home now to Mr Ding and his mother. Eric Arndt from Habitat for Humanity in China commented: "Liverpool Football Club is delighted that

Ding Amao and mother Chen Gengen

their contribution, along with the hard work and dedication of the business people from Liverpool who spent a hot day in China away from the Shanghai Expo, has been able to make such a difference to the lives of a family in Pinghu. The ability of Habitat for Humanity to improve the lives of the home owners and change the lives of those who volunteer to help (which has lead to 400,000 homes in 90 countries, housing over 4 million people) is unique."

For more information about how fans can get involved, visit www.liverpoolhfh.org.uk or telephone 0151 707 9440.

Your vote is needed Local people are being asked

by RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) to nominate their favourite new building scheme in the North West for a top award.

The institution, which represents more than 11,000 chartered surveyors in the region, runs the RICS North West Awards every year and is now looking for entries into the 2011 competition. Dominic Thompson, Chairman of the North West board of RICS, commented: “The awards celebrate everything that is great about built and natural environments. We look at everything from small renovations to multi-million

pound developments and we focus on everything that is good about a building, including quality. This gives members of the public the chance to make their choices known but it has to be a regeneration project, a new building or an environmental project that has been completed within the last three years.” The RICS North West Awards are split into eight categories – Building Conservation, Regeneration, Sustainability, Community Benefit, Commercial, Design and Innovation, Residential, Tourism and Leisure – and a Project of the Year Award.

Schemes of all shapes and sizes are looked at equally and past entries have included an

innovative cattle shed, modern beach huts, a skate park and a coastal reclamation project alongside more traditional entries, such as iconic city centre buildings, new housing projects and business park developments.

All suggestions should be sent to Catherine Hible, Business Development Manager at RICS North on chible@rics.org or by telephone on 01924 229302.

The closing date for final entries is the January 21, 2011.

PROPERTY NEWS The Marquis, Regency Park

FACEBOOK

competition

Regal Bootle Home A home with real regal credentials is now on public show at Bootle as Keepmoat Homes unveils the Marquis at Regency Park.

The two-bedroom property is ideal for those seeking to buy for the first time or people looking to downsize without compromising on quality. Decorated and dressed in vibrant shades of turquoise and green, this striking show home demonstrates a creative use of space and design.

The kitchen/breakfast room sees the first injection of the vibrant turquoise flashes which work superbly against the fantastic backdrop of modern white, chrome and glass furniture. The lounge unites both colours with daring bold turquoise and green panels. Upstairs the main bedroom has a modern classic feel with stronger accents of turquoise and mirrored furniture, creating a light reflective mood.

Regency Park, which is just off Queens Road and only four miles

from Liverpool city centre, also offers three and four bedroom homes. The shared equity scheme is available on the Marquis home, priced at £84,957. The HomeBuy Direct support is available on certain plots.

To find out, visit Regency Park where the show home is open between 10am and 5pm Thursday to Monday.

Alternatively call 0845 872 5448 or visit www.keepmoathomes.co.uk

What attracted you to Cressington Heath?

After years of renting we wanted a home of our own and had moved in with relatives while we saved for a deposit. We learned about HomeBuy Direct at an event at the Echo Arena and discovered we could move quicker than we expected. From the list of developers offering the scheme, the Redrow homes at Cressington Heath were the best option for us.

What’s the layout of your home?

It’s designed over three floors, which makes it a bit different.

On the ground floor there’s an open plan kitchen-diner at the front with a massive living room at the back. The bathroom and two bedrooms are on the first floor, with the master bedroom on the top floor.

Tell us about the living area...

We bought a new Italian leather three piece suite, but it’s already been wrecked by the cat. Our black rug with white flowers and purple leaves is just lovely. It goes really well with my favourite eBay buy; a purple TV stand with an orange door that’s meant to tide us over until we get something decent. I’m thinking of painting the door black but people say it’s fine as it’s quirky.

MORE INFO 34 Your Move

Rachel & Dave C larke

Tell us about the kitchen...

The kitchen is fitted with integrated appliances and tall units which are really convenient. We bought our dining table and chairs from a charity shop and while we’ve been offered a new table by friends and family I don’t want to part with it. It’s solid dark wood with tiles in the middle and because it’s got folding leaves we can adjust the size.

What about the bedrooms...

The master bedroom is massive and simply gorgeous as it has a balcony and an en-suite. The en-suite means we don’t have to go wandering around downstairs to the bathroom in the night!

And the bathroom?

The family bathroom is Daniel’s bathroom really, as we don’t use it ourselves apart from to bathe him. The bath’s full of his toys.

The tiles in the bathroom are white with a white flower on, which are a good contrast to the tiles in the downstairs toilet, which are white with a black flower on.

And finally, what would be your ideal buy?

We’re still yet to buy carpets for stairs and landing, but I’d really love to have a traditional freestanding jukebox in the kitchen.

To find out about HomeBuy Direct, eligibility and the properties on which it’s available, visit the sales office at Cressington Heath. Alternatively, call 0151 494 2575 or log onto www.redrow.co.uk/developments/cressington-heath

While some celebrities use their fame to party hard and end up in scandal, R&B singer Jamelia has shunned the vacuous ‘celebrity’ status to champion the good work of The Prince’s Trust, which helps young people get into work or training. Coming from a background that includes a criminal father and a brother in prison, multi-MOBO award-winner Jamelia Davis understands more than most how the right opportunity can lift you out of a life of poverty. The singer talks to Your Move after a recent fundraising night in Liverpool, and now that she is signed up to the label that brought us N-Dubz expect to hear a lot more of Jamelia in the next year.

Interview with Jamelia

CELEBRITY

WITH A CAUSE INTERVIEW BY DINA KARIM

What does being ambassador of The Prince’s Trust mean to you?

It means a lot to me mainly because if I had not got that first job - if I had not gone into a career in singing I would have probably been in a similar situation and needed help. I think it is fantastic and I am

so humbled to be a part of The Prince’s Trust. I love being a part of this organisation, being an ambassador I do 38 Your Move

so many things including shows and presentations.

How important are charities like this in getting young people out of a life of poverty?

I think it is very important that young people know there is a place to go if unemployed and need a helping hand. It is hard to get back to a working environment after being unemployed for a long time and The Prince’s Trust gives people opportunities.

You have been associated with a number of worthy causes like the NSPCC and PETA, why is it important for you as a music star to champion these causes?

Being a public figure I can use that image to champion causes. I love to sing, I love my job and I don’t want to be a ‘celebrity’, you know. I want to make a difference, I’ve been blessed, and so I want to use my public image wisely.

You signed up to a new record label in the summer, when can we expect to hear some of your new work?

It’s fantastic; I’ve got some new stuff which I’m really looking forward to like the new album out next year (the name is still being discussed), which will start to hit the radio in January 11, my birthday. The music is unexpected so expect to hear something a little different - I can’t wait.

What do you think of Liverpool?

I love Liverpool! My family used to bring

me here when I was younger to visit the museums and I have some fond memories.

The clubs are really great here too; R&B is a really big thing in Liverpool so I know it’s got a great scene.

What are your plans for 2011?

My biggest plan for next year is for me and my daughters to be happy. In the next year I will be doing some more acting which I’ve been doing for a couple of years now but singing is my passion so I’m looking forward to my album and doing more of that next year.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Ask the expert GOT AN INTERIOR DESIGN DILEMMA? EMAIL US AT POST@MOVEPUBLISHING.CO.UK

CHRISTMAS REVAMP I want to revamp my lounge and hallway before Christmas.

The rooms need decorating and I need to order furniture, curtains and flooring. I am desperately trying to save at the moment for all of this! When do you think realistically I should start the work?

With over ten years’ experience in the interior design business, Sharon Armor is poised to answer all your design queries from DIY disasters to decorating dilemmas.

It’s really good that you are already starting to plan for this work. I can’t stress enough that now really is the best time for you to be proactive. You should at least be planning and making time schedules. Make appointments now for the work to be carried out by the decorator and flooring contractor etc.

If you’re having curtains made, contact your curtain maker and ask them to come and measure up, this way you will know how much fabric to order. I would recommend ordering the furniture you want now many stores and designers have payment plans which may help you spread the cost. Although all of this sounds exhausting it is the most direct way to make sure that you have everything you want for Christmas!

HOME OFFICE PREP

TRANSITIONAL WALLPAPER I’m searching for wallpaper for the lounge. In the past I have just painted the room a neutral shade.

My family have convinced me to be daring!

I’m just frightened of hating the end result.

I would have a look at the new collection by Cole & Son Octave they have beautiful soft modern looking damask called Deco Damask. It’s really neutral and will introduce you gradually to the warmth of wallpaper. www.cole-and-son.com

My husband has recently been made redundant. We are looking at this as a chance for a new start and are thinking about setting up our own business and working from home. With two young children the house can be chaotic at times and we are considering turning the garage into a home office. What is the best way to go about this?

Turning your garage into a liveable space is a really good idea, a relatively simple job and reasonably affordable. Before you start you need to look at the build quality, older garages may not be that easy to convert as they may have asbestos problems, however structures that have been built over the last twenty five years should be ok. First I would contact your building control department at your local council to ask them for advice. You will need to apply for building regulations and in some areas you will need planning permission, especially if you want to change the exterior look, by adding windows and doors etc. Other factors to look at before you begin the work are heating, insulation, plumbing lighting and security.

What’s hot YOUR GUIDE TO WHAT’S HAPPENING OUT & ABOUT IN LIVERPOOL

Rebecca X Factor star Rebecca Ferguson revealed she had realised a long held dream when she performed a surprise free gig at the Echo Arena.

After a whistlestop tour of her Anfield home accompanied by mentor Cheryl Cole she thrilled thousands of fans who had waited hours to get a glimpse of her. “I just can’t get over the support,” she said. “I just don’t feel like I deserve it.

I’m very grateful and overwhelmed and flattered. Performing at the Arena, she confided was a long held ambition.

“I’ve always wanted to perform at the Arena so I’m just really happy,” she said. And she confessed she couldn’t wait to come back. “After X-Factor the first thing I want to do is come home for Christmas and see my family ,” she said. “I love this city I really do.”

JLS mania After hours of queuing, pop fans finally got their first glance of boyband superstars JLS at WHSmith where they took time out to sign copies of their new book Just Between Us: Our Private Diary. The fans braved the cold to meet their idols and have their book signed, with some camping over night outside the store to guarantee

MARYA MCCANN HAS LUNCH WITH....

Martyn Green, partner at King Sturge inner with Martyn Green, partner at King Sturge and responsible for the residential side of the business, was fun. His approachable and chatty persona must have helped him get to where he is today, six years after King Sturge head hunted him for the new Liverpool office. He commented:

D

extensive choice. There is a fantastic selection of meat: Chateaubriand, with rosemary skewered flat mushroom, tomato confit, potato gratin, chips and Béarnaise sauce to share would have been lovely if we had been really ravenous. There is pot roasted partridge, 28 day ribeye steak and dishes from a section

“It’s beautifully crisp, really delicious”

“On the first day of business, in our new office, I plugged the phone line in and the phone was already ringing. It was the first of 15 new instructions that day and a nice moment, almost like a sign of things to come.” Since then Martyn has enjoyed a varied client profile. “I love the diversity,” he commented, “I could be overseeing the sale of a one-bed flat to Mr and Mrs Smith in the morning and then taking instruction on a multimillion pound scheme in the afternoon.” Indeed, his biggest instruction to date is the £95m Mann Island development.

Pausing for long enough to scan the menu, I was impressed at the

entitled Home Comforts which includes toad in the hole and lasagne. The Living Room is perfect for drinks or food in the evening. Effortlessly cool and contemporary (intimate leather booths or tables depending upon the company) yet preserving its Victorian features. The tone is dark opulence and huge cherubic themed paintings adorn the walls. Martyn’s beerbattered tiger prawns were a delicious starter. Fluffy battered parcels with juicy king prawns inside (I know, I tried one), and my grilled goats cheese on top of a spinach-filled Portobello mushroom was also good; light and fresh cheese contrasted with

the heavy and rich texture of mushroom. Main courses arrived - Prosciutto wrapped chicken breast with mascarpone for Martyn and seafood risotto for me. My risotto was bursting with king prawns, scallops, mussels and calamari. With each mouthful, I could detect the faint scent of lemons, which complimented the seafood wonderfully. The scallops were really meaty and flaky too. Of his chicken Martyn said: “It’s beautifully crisp, really delicious.” At the moment Martyn is excited about his firm’s latest product, Kings Dock Mill, which consists of 104 off plan flats and town

houses. King Sturge has assisted the project through from the building process to completion and the launch. He commented: “We have 17 people in the team who liaise with clients and ensure that they are 100 per cent happy with the service, whether it’s the sales or the letting process that we assist them with.” Over coffee, he gave me a hint of how he relaxes, in addition to playing golf and watching Mad Men. “I’ve always loved fast cars,” he commented, “and my younger son enjoys cooking and has encouraged me to get into the kitchen. Crème Brulee is our current speciality.”

THE LIVING ROOM – 15 VICTORIA STREET, LIVERPOOL, L2 5QS –

Cookies and 'milk' – chocolate chip cookies and vanilla pannacotta was perfect for two to share, with another coffee.

Sipping a strong and sweet Espressotini whilst listening to live piano music. The cocktail of the month is described on the menu as a caffeine hit of freshly brewed espresso shaken to a froth with Russian Standard vodka, Kahlua coffee liqueur and white sugar.
