CREATING IN A BLINK
You Can Do
Magic A
lot of what I do as a coach and therapist is investigative. Before the change ‘magic’ can occur I need to find out, and it is very useful for the client to find out as well, how they do what they do. After all, how can you change what you don’t understand? Makes sense doesn’t it? It may be a phobic response to a particular stimulus or it could be anxiety about a forthcoming event or stressing about work and exams. Whatever it is that the client perceives as a negative event or habit in their life can start to be addressed when we learn ‘why you do that’ or ‘how you learnt to do that’

There is a subtle difference between those last two questions and they can be explained by two pithy statements from one of my mentors – one is where ‘life mucks up you’ and the other is where ‘you muck up life’ – I’ve modified his language somewhat!
Are you feeling stuck in life?
By identifying these habits and beliefs and then by accepting that if you want to move on, it would be a pretty good idea to change them, then the magic can begin.
Do you feel that if only you could let go of the baggage you are carrying around with you things would be so much better?
Now I use the word ‘magic’ in the sense that often the changes are quicker than people expect and the change can be quite ‘magical’... and let’s face it – who doesn’t want a little bit of magic in their lives? Bob Brennan
“I cannot thank Bob enough for giving me what I call a second chance in life” “I went to see Bob when my life was in a crisis. I had many emotional issues from my past, I was a pessimist, I was withdrawn into myself and I was at a crossroads in life and did not know what road to take.

Make hard water a thing of the past
A
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. 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 conventional electric softener you would have quite a lare 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

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.

Winter is
finally knocking at the door...
W
hat a bizarre winter! I don’t think I can remember a run up to Christmas being so warm! And a couple of weeks ago one of our customers brought us a bunch of daffodils...freshly picked...from her garden! In January? Well, that was then - now things have started to look a whole lot different. You can almost smell it in the air can’t you? Winter has definitely arrived! The news reports keep showing us images of cars stuck in snow and children sledging to school. They are reminding us that winter isn’t over yet, in fact it’s well underway and Warwickshire has now received its first dusting and a huge drop in temperatures It’s been easy to feel complacent about how little heat we’ve needed in our homes, but now as the cold hits, we could all be in for a bit of a shock!
So our advice? Don’t leave ordering your fuel until the last moment; keep your stocks of coal topped up, make sure your cylinders of gas are not about to run out - get a spare one in if you can (make the most of our current deposit free scheme!), check that log pile, have you got enough kindling..firelighters...matches?! Having a full stock of fuel is as important as having a fully stocked larder - and feels almost as good as a fully stocked wine rack! And once sorted, you can put your feet up and relax in the knowledge that whatever the winter is about to throw at us, you’ve got it covered. C

Beautiful Artificial Lawns
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.
...perfect for ch ildren’s play areas too! nused space !
