Karen’s story...

Slimming

Roast Chicken, Potatoes & Thyme Serves 4. Ready in 1 hour 20 minutes

1kg potatoes, such as Maris Piper or King Edward, washed or peeled and cut into chunks 1 red onion, cut into wedges • 1 lemon, sliced • 2 bay leaves Large bunch of fresh thyme, broken into sprigs 1 tbsp tomato purée • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 120ml boiling chicken stock • 1.25kg chicken thighs and drumsticks, skinned Low-calorie cooking spray • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Down’s

Before

Method

• Put the potatoes into a large shallow ovenproof dish in a single layer. Scatter over the onion, lemon slices, bay leaves and most of the thyme sprigs.

• Put the tomato puree into a bowl with the vinegar, stir in the stock and pour over the potatoes. Top with the chicken and coat it with low-calorie cooking spray.

Season to taste.

• Roast for 50 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

• You can skin the chicken using kitchen paper to

help you get a good grip (for the drumsticks, peel skin away from the thick end then pull it off over the bony part).

Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. Increase the oven temperature to 220C/Fan 200C/ Gas Mark 7 and roast everything else for 10 minutes or until the potatoes are turning golden.

Put the chicken back on top, garnish with the remaining thyme and serve hot with salad or your favourite vegetables.

Since working with Lisa and the team, the advertising and promotion of our local Slimming World groups has been so easy and so professionally handled.

We not only get value for money with our 6 month package but additional value too - it’s just like having our own advertising department that know our needs inside out.

Over the last few months Lisa has helped us tell 1000’s of people about our new Consultants and our growing groups. We welcomed over 700 new members to Slimming World groups in an around Banbury during the month of January. That’s over 700 extra people and their families that we are helping to get healthier and lose weight - we couldn’t have reached that many without the great service from the Express Advertisers team.

After

L

ike many mum’s Karen Pigott found that after each of her children were born the baby weight seemed harder and harder to shift. “After my first three children were born I was able to lose weight fairly quickly, unfortunately 18 months after my third child was born I was diagnosed with breast cancer.”

Following aggressive, but successful treatment Karen was told she was unlikely to have any more children. To her delight she proved the doctors wrong by going on to have two more children. “I found that with my youngest two my eating habits had completely changed, I ate far more food, but probably not the food I should have been eating. I ended up putting on 6 stone with each pregnancy”.

Over the next 10 years Karen tried everything to lose the weight and was always looking for the next quick fix. “My confidence was at an all time low and it left me feeling totally inadequate. It wasn’t until I saw a friend who looked great, that I heard about Slimming World.” At the time Karen was living in Austria and was delighted to discover that she could follow Slimming World online.

“Finding a plan that my whole family could follow was key. I didn’t want to be cooking different meals for everyone. It was amazing to find that we could still enjoy family favourites like lasagne and chips. Food Optimising is so easy to follow and you can adapt it to your lifestyle.”

a family affair!

On returning to the UK Karen didn’t hesitate to go and join her local group to continue her weight loss journey. She had already successfully lost 1st7lb online. “Joining my local group was amazing. Walking into group that first night was a little daunting but I was soon made to feel at home. Sharing your experiences with other members who are trying to lose weight really helps. No matter whether you have had a good week or a bad week, the motivation you get from the group is brilliant.” With the support of her group Karen has gone on to lose another stone.

Her confidence has grown, she has become far more active and her children have learnt to make healthier choices. “It really has been a family journey where we have all benefitted from a healthier lifestyle”.

The impact on Karen has been so positive that she has decided to become a Slimming World consultant. “I know how my confidence was effected before I lost my weight that I want to help anyone else who is feeling the same. I look forward to welcoming anyone along to my Slimming World group at BGN School on the 21st September at 7.30pm”.

If you would like to find out more about joining the Banbury group on a Monday night, please give Karen a call on 07710 494199.

Developing the right advert Case Study campaign for you for you!

Creating an effective advert campaign tailored to your requirements

Heather Woodward, Slimming World Team Manager contacted the Express Advertisers in order to promote a number of groups within the Banbury area.

The Express team established that a high level of new members were required in order to make the groups as effective as possible. It was therefore our recommendation that a high impact campaign was required; full page and doublepage spreads were needed to achieve this success. We worked with Heather’s budget to maximise the space we could

offer. Following the Slimming World advertising guidelines, the Express team opted for a mix of ‘success story’ articles and Slimming World recipes to bring reader engagement and understanding. This was teamed with standardised, corporate adverts used nationally by Slimming World informing new members of group information.

Originally booked in for a three month period, the advertising campaign was such a success that Heather booked in for a further six months. To date an impressive 1200 new members spread across the groups have joined.

We will continue to support Heather with continued advice and input to ensure that the momentum is maintained.

Wagging Tails You’d be barking mad not to use us!

DOGS NEEDS A HOLIDAY TOO! As we are a nation renowned for our love of animals, it is not surprising that many dog owners feel uncomfortable at the thought of going away and leaving their best friend behind, especially if kennels are not for them.

We ask our owners (and their dogs) to go along and meet their carer beforehand to give them the reassurance of knowing where their dogs will be staying, and dogs get a chance to familiarise themselves with their holiday home.

Wagging Tails provide a home from home dog boarding service where dogs will stay with one of our carefully selected carers as a member of the family for their very own holiday. Our carers are at home during the day to give dogs the warmth and comfort they would get at home, along with plenty of exercise and attention, and we never mix different families dogs.

Due to the popularity of our service, we are always interested to hear from dog lovers wishing to join our team of carers. If you think you could welcome a dog into your home or would like further information about our service, please visit www.waggingtailsuk.co.uk or call Teresa on 07762 132329.

Suffering from Work and Lifestyle For the Employee Pains?

Occupational injuries account for many millions of working days lost each year in Britain. No matter whether your work is in the office or outside on the land you need to be able to cope with the individual demands made on your body by the style of work you do.

Manual work inevitably carries the inherent risk of injury caused by heavy and often awkward lifting, overstretching, and periods of prolonged bending causing back and disc injuries, sciatica, and muscle strains. In the office where desk work is more common, there are the dangers of ‘computer hump’ and ‘mouse wrist’, whilst frequent telephone use affects the neck and shoulders causing headaches and carpal tunnel syndrome etc.

Going to an osteopath demonstrates to your boss that you are taking an active role in trying to improve your health and reduce your injury. The osteopath will help you look at the style of work you are undertaking and help you find ways of improving the situation and how to prevent a recurrence of your injuries. You will be treated and offered advice on posture and lifting. An osteopath can also provide you with a sickness certificate if you need time off work.

For the Employer Osteopathic treatment will usually help to resolve work-related injuries earlier so that your workforce is more efficient and productive and it will reduce time off through ill-health. Some companies already benefit from using an osteopath as part of their care programme for employees thereby improving morale and increasing productivity.

Useful tips • Frequent short breaks away from the desk and computer will help avoid back, neck and eye strain.

• Make sure if you are driving that you make time to stop, get out and do some brisk exercise for a few minutes every so often on a long journey.

• When lifting at work judge whether you can do this safely or whether you need help.

• Never be afraid to ask for assistance.

Osteopathy and you Osteopaths consider each person as an individual.

Utilising gentle techniques they will work with your body to create the perfect conditions to encourage the healing process. The most common conditions that we treat are: • back and neck pain • shoulder and arm problems • pelvis, hip and leg problems • head pains, trapped nerves, sciatica However, patients have found osteopathy helpful for many other conditions. If you want to find out more, any osteopath will be happy to talk to you.

Chestnut Osteopathic Practice is a highly recommended practice with experienced female osteopaths. Our aim is to quickly return pain free health and wellbeing, through caring hands. Please do not hesitate to give us a call for any further advice or to book an appointment on Tel 01295 713666.

The roofline area is the most exposed and vulnerable feature of any property. It is ravaged by all weathers and is susceptible to hazards such as blocked gutters which can cause timber fascias to rot quickly.

There is, thank goodness, an answer to this problem in the form of a permanent cure. Not only will it alleviate the worry of expensive replacement of rotten timbers, but also eliminate the need for repainting every few years.

Make hard water a thing of the past

BWS

Banbury Water Softeners explains the benefits of installing a water softening system to your home lthough most of us put up with hard water, many do not realise you can do something about it. Limescale furs up our heating systems, causing breakdowns, makes it more expensive to heat homes and damages our appliances.

A

The other problem with limescale is the constant cleaning of showerheads, shower screens, and stainless steel sinks. It can also aggravate skin problems such as eczema and psoriasis.

With a water softener no limescale will form in the house, which means you will do less cleaning,

stop buying limescale related products, cut washing powder use by up to 75% and have less change of large bills for potential problems with your heating system and appliance breakdowns.

If you were to purchase a conventional electric softener you would have quite a large machine, which requires you to carry a 25kg bag of salt. The Twintec S3 is different. It is a small, non electric and used block salt - like two house bricks - instead of heavy bags.

Harvey Water Softeners has been manufacturing softeners for more than 30 years. Banbury Water Softeners are Harvey’s main dealer for TwinTec in the area, are a local, family business with over 40 years’

experience in the installation and maintenance of domestic and commercial water softeners and drinking water filters. We cover Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Gloucestershire and Buckinghamshire and have many thousands of happy customers.

We pride ourselves on providing a professional and friendly service and as a small company that means you always know who you are dealing with, the same voice on the end of the phone and the same face at the door. We will happily visit you to discuss your water softening and filter needs.

Call us without obligation on:

01295 261445

or visit our website at www.banburywatersofteners.co.uk

A water softener is probably the only desirable domestic appliance still missing from your home Removes existing scale and keeps everything scale free Save on repair, replacement and maintenance too for babies

without the upkeep!

Clean and safe ■ No mowing ■ No weeds No more muddy patches Hard wearing ■ Unaffected by weather/uv stabilized Green and usable all year round ■ Perfect for pets

Finding an artificial grass product that has the look of natural grass was never an option until recently. But with developments in the last 2-3 years we can now offer you a choice of looks that will give you the dream lawn all year round. We can even fit a carpet that will look like a freshly mowed lawn in the middle of summer with a mixture of green fibres and beige to give that thatched look. We use a new monofilament fibre so the feel of the carpet is soft to the touch and friendlier to animals.

relieve allergy symptoms in the home this springtime Get the cleaning bug this Spring - open the windows and get to work.

Here’s our Top 10 (plus 2) list of do’s and don’ts...

R

egular housecleaning can get rid of many allergy triggers and help relieve your symptoms.

Common mistake - using heavily scented cleaners could make your allergies worse, not better.

Here are some ways to keep your house clean and allergies under control: • Vacuum twice a week.

Make sure your vacuum has a HEPA filter as some allergens are so small that they pass right through a regular vacuum filter. That means that every time you vacuum, you could be sucking them off the floor

and shooting them into the air, where you breathe them in.

• Cut clutter. Piles of boxes or clothing can trap dust and hide allergens like dust mites and cockroaches.

• Wear a mask when you clean and when you’re done with your housework, leave the house for a few hours. It will limit your exposure to allergens you kicked up into the air.

• Keep the bathroom free of mold.

Scrub tiles regularly. Don’t forget the shower curtain, too. You may be able to toss it in the washing machine.

• Wash sheets weekly in hot water.

Make sure it’s at least 50 degrees celsius. That’s hot enough to kill dust mites.

If your child has allergies, do the same with any washable stuffed animals.

• Don’t use scented cleaners or detergents. If you have allergies, the

fragrances in cleaners can trigger symptoms.

Look for fragrance-free products instead.

• Don’t air-dry laundry. Clothing left outside will pick up pollen and mold. Use the clothes dryer instead.

• Use a damp cloth and mop when cleaning.

They’ll trap allergens instead of knocking them into the air. Change bedlinen after dusting in the bedroom after two hours.

• Clean outside entryways, sweep or vacuum.

The cleaner your path or patio is, the less likely someone is to track dust or pollen into your house.

• (A favourite of mine!). Ask another family member to take over some chores. It’s better if you avoid jobs like dusting or vacuuming if you are allergic to dust mites.

• Take shoes off before you go in the house. That way pollens or other triggers won’t get tracked in.

• Keep pets out of the bedroom. It’s a key way to protect yourself from dander. Don’t ever let pets sleep on the bed if you have pet allergies and of course sort out don’t overlook pet beds - give them a good seeing to regularly (and of course the dog!)
