Karols Korner Brisk Autumn walks in the countryside, with frost on the grass and a crispness in the air ..... Is this your idea of heaven? Or have you been a sun lover and enjoyed every minute of our hottest summer on record? Showing has been a grueling month, with the Split Summer shows held over 4 nights in Split! ( yes we drove there!) and then the World Dog Show in Amsterdam, but we have great news! Wally has been awarded the Reserve Challenge Certificate at East Of England show in July, the first red miniature poodle in UK to win this high! Thrilled is an understatement! He also gained the Croatian Champion title and International Champion title, neither of which can be claimed as yet due to his age. And now for some well deserved rest and recreation, maybe a trip to the beach before the weather breaks and those colder days start beckoning and log fires suddenly seem enticing again! Have a great September!

How to Save and Make Money at University

One of the trickiest but most important parts of university life is managing your money. Budgeting for food, clothes, nights out, books and study materials can be overwhelming at first, but there are ways you can help yourself. Here are a few tips to help you spend less, save more, and earn money at university, so you can stop worrying about finances and make the most of this precious time in your life. WAYS TO SAVE MONEY AT UNIVERSITY Make use of technology All you need is your mobile phone to save money as a university student. There are apps to help you save on food, that show you how to budget, and that keep an eye on your data usage. Keep your food costs down by making a list of your favourite ingredients, and an app will let you know the cheapest places to buy them locally. You can also track your expenses with a budgeting app. Just type in how much you 10

spend each day, and what you’ve bought – at the end of the month, a report gives you a roundup of where your money is going, so you can adjust your spending if necessary. Learn how to cook Learning how to cook from scratch is a valuable skill for life, but as food is one of the highest student expenditures, it’s also a vital part of saving money. Apart from the extra cash in your pocket, you can still be sociable without the expense of eating out, impressing your friends with a few gastronomic delights. It’s a good idea to plan your meals ahead and only buy what you need each week, avoiding ready meals if possible, as although they’re convenient, they’re generally bad for your health. Also, stick to buying own-brand products that can usually be found on the lower shelves in supermarkets, where you might not normally look. Vouchers and coupons It’s surprising how much you can save by using vouchers and coupons, but you do need to be organised and be ready to snap them up online. You may be able to save even more as a university student, as stores often offer additional student

discounts on certain items. Save by standing order Once you’re used to budgeting, and know how much you’re likely to spend each month, it’s worthwhile transferring a minimum amount to a savings account via monthly standing order. Even small amounts add up over the course of a year, and you can always save more money if you have any spare. WAYS TO MAKE MONEY AT UNIVERSITY Get a part-time job The obvious way to make money at university for most students is to get a job parttime. Retail, catering, and hospitality are just three areas where you could pick up a part-time job with fixed hours that fits in with your studies. Although you may need to forsake some evenings and weekends, payday could make it worthwhile to miss out on a few social occasions. Another idea for part-time work, and one that’s a little more flexible, is mystery shopping. You sign up with a mystery shopping agency, or directly with an independent company, and get paid for checking the level of service provided in their outlets. You’ll need to ask certain questions in-store, and then write up and submit a report online within a certain deadline. You may also be asked to mystery shop by phone or email.

Use Locally - Issue 65 September 2018 Online work With so many online moneymaking and work opportunities available, you can earn more than just ‘pocket money.’ Taking surveys is a great way to do this, with Swagbucks, Toluna and YouGov being just a few sites offering money and vouchers for taking part in surveys and questionnaires. You can also sell clothes and unwanted belongings online to make some cash – Shpock and eBay are popular for this, and you also get to de-clutter your student accommodation. Starting a small business The upsurge of the gig economy means you can put your talents to good use by freelancing, or starting your own small business. If you’re good at web design, writing, or

even tutoring other students, there are plenty of opportunities to advertise your skills online or within the university campus. Freelance marketplaces such as People Per Hour and Upwork match freelancers with people or businesses looking for someone to complete a project. By signing up, you can search for jobs in your skill set, and build up a portfolio of work over your time at university. Promotion work and flyers

apply to become an on-campus ‘brand ambassador’ for a household brand name. You might be able to organise your own promotions and events for the brand, and make a name for yourself in marketing.

Handing out flyers around campus and promoting club nights or events on the streets of your university town can earn you some extra money, but be sure to find out whether you’re working on a commission or a ‘per hour’ basis.

Small Spaces Making the most of kids’ bedrooms by Kate Duggan kateduggan.co.uk Vox Nest Kids Cabin Bed, £695 from www.cuckooland.com

Kids’ bedrooms have to tick a lot of boxes. They need to provide plenty of storage space for toys, clothes, books and games, plus a bed and enough space to play. That can be challenging when a room is roughly the size of a broom cupboard, but it can be done‌ BEDS WITH STORAGE When you don’t have much Ă RRU VSDFH WKH NH\ LV WR make the most of the space you have vertically. Mid and high-sleepers and cabin beds are ideal for smaller bedrooms. Sleepers tend to be bed frames with taller legs. They often come with furniture that Ă€WV XQGHUQHDWK RU \RX FDQ DGG your own. Cabin beds typically have more built-in storage. This Vox Nest Kids Cabin Bed is fully customisable. The frame is ÂŁ695 from www.cuckooland. com, which includes some shelves, and you can add organisers, pull-out drawers, a desk, pull-out wardrobe and more.

You could also look DW ÀWWLQJ D VKHOI DERYH WKH GRRU to store games that don’t get used very often. In a small room, every item of furniture really needs to pull its weight. Look for multi-purpose furniture, such as a chair that can pull out into a bed for sleepovers, or a toy chest with a pull-out drawer (rather than a lift-up lid), so your child can use the top as a seat or for extra storage. Toy hammocks can be strung between corners to keep teddies within sight. Hanging mesh organisers can also be useful, but you need to be careful that air can circulate around the entire thing, otherwise walls and toys can get mouldy. They’re also not ideal for children who might try swinging on them, as you could end up with a ceiling that’s missing a large chunk of plaster!

ROADSHOW CO Wednesday 12th September 11am – 2pm

Best Western Deincourt Hotel, London Rd, Newark NG24 1TF

Krugerrand

Breitling

Amber Urgently required!

THE EAST MIDLANDS ANTIQUES ROADSHOW arrives in Newark and offers local people the unique opportunity to come along and have a free valuation of any item and possibly be made a firm spot cash offer without any obligation. Mr Franks recalls an instance the last time East Midlands Antiques were in the area, when a couple came along with a selection of old broken and incomplete rings, a few items of unusual jewellery and an old broken gentleman’s wristwatch, expecting only a small amount and they were totally amazed to receive over £2,000.Another astonishing story was when a crystal vessel estimated at just £100-£200 was sold for £220,000. So why not take this chance to search through your attic, drawers and cupboards, to see if you could also be sitting on a fortune. Don’t be afraid or embarrassed. You will find our representatives most helpful, courteous and friendly. There is no obligation to sell, so if you just require a free evaluation, no problem. All transactions are strictly cash. Mr Franks said the reasons for choosing the area are numerous. Many valuable articles were found in the last visit to the area. For instance on one occasion this year a Rolex, valued at £2,000-£3,000 fetched a staggering £48,000. The hotel is well known to local residents and is well placed with plenty of car parking available.

So on Wednesday 12th September, you have the chance to visit the hotel and see our accredited buyers and valuers absolutely free. Mr Franks has over 20 years experience of professional valuations and now his expertise is available at no cost to you. Specialising in oil paintings, water colours and many other articles. Medals, decorations and orders are one of the most collectable items and East Midlands Antiques has a waiting list of collectors and customers willing to pay for these articles. Please see listed a few of the items we require, but due to limited space not everything is listed, so if you are in any doubt, bring it along! LADIES – LOOK IN YOUR JEWELLERY BOXES. If you have any old broken rings, chains, earrings, old gold wrist watches or items with stones missing, then bring down the box and let us surprise you. Amber and Jade, costume jewellery – high prices paid. WE MAKE HOUSE CALLS IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO VISIT. For further information or an appointment please contact us on: 07930 157 944 any time.We specialise in watches and listed below are just a few of the make we require – BROKEN OR WORKING – ANY CONDITION Omega, Rolex, Breitling, Patek, Philippe, Vachron PLUS MANY OTHER MAKES

Have you watched the BBC programmes Flog It or The Antiques Roadshow? Our format is exactly the same, but we offer the chance to sell without the uncertainty and commission of the Auction House and if you are unsuccessful at auction there may still be charges to pay. East Midlands Antiques realise that there are some very unusual items that require the exposure of a major auction house and we would be pleased to advise in such cases. However many items do not warrant this and East Midlands Antiques will offer accordingly. Come and try the friendly and discreet service we have provided for many other people like yourselves over the years.

Um, sorry, but why are we Brits so polite? by Kate McLelland

“Err ‌ excuse me, sorry, but ‌ um, I’m afraid you’re standing on my foot.â€? The British have politeness written into their DNA. Nowhere HOVH LQ WKH ZRUOG ZLOO \RX Ă€QG people so ready to put up with discomfort rather than be considered pushy or rude. How it started is a mystery. The British, as we all know, are a pretty pugnacious lot. We value forthright leaders such as Sir Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher and count the ruthless King Henry VIII and buccaneering sailor Sir Francis Drake amongst the nation’s IDYRXULWH KLVWRULFDO Ă€JXUHV Nowadays the likes of Jeremy Clarkson, JK Rowling, Boris Johnson and Lily Allen are celebrated for their outspoken views, and yet we average Brits are apparently so fearful of causing offence that we remain tight-lipped even when we are subjected to discomfort or inconvenience. If someone is thoughtlessly blocking our way, we say “excuse meâ€? as if it were our fault, and if we receive grudging service in a restaurant, we’ll not only say “thank youâ€?, we’ll probably even leave a tip. Another classic British trait is

22

our talent for understatement. Our tendency to underplay everything was famously demonstrated during the Korean War, when embattled British soldier Brigadier Tom Brodie of the Gloucester Regiment reported to an $PHULFDQ VXSHULRU RIĂ€FHU General Robert H Soule, with the fatal words: “Things are a bit sticky, sir.â€? He meant that his men were facing an imminent and terrible defeat, but the General’s interpretation was that despite some GLIĂ€FXOWLHV WKH *ORXFHVWHUV were successfully holding the line. Unsurprisingly, this miscommunication resulted in huge numbers of British soldiers being killed, wounded and captured. Media personality Stephen Fry, dubbed ‘the most polite man in Britain’, admitted to BBC presenter Mark Lawson: “Being over-polite is not attractive ‌ I can’t watch someone not saying thank you, and I can’t not say it myself. If I noticed I hadn’t said it, I’d have to come back in the room and say ‘thank you’. It’s feeble!â€? If Stephen Fry – an icon of good manners – dislikes over-politeness, what will become of the rest of us? Will we eventually ditch

this quintessentially British behaviour in favour of a more direct (some would say more honest) approach? It doesn’t seem as though this will happen any time soon. A report published by research company Childwise looked at the way children interact with WKH DUWLĂ€FLDO LQWHOOLJHQFH ERWV in devices such as phones and tablets. Researchers found that children were barking commands at their robotic helpers without using “pleaseâ€? and “thank youâ€? and concluded that this behaviour might encourage them to become aggressive in later life. In response to Childwise’s Ă€QGLQJV $PD]RQ KDV QRZ included a politeness feature (known as ‘Magic Word’) in its Echo Dot software and it’s likely that other tech companies will IROORZ $PD]RQ¡V OHDG With robots getting in on the act, it’s unlikely that we’ll forget our “pleasesâ€? and “thank yousâ€? in future. In fact, as the technology develops, it may even become easier to tell a stranger that he’s standing on your foot: simply get your unfailingly polite robot to speak to him for you.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

Beware of taking up an extreme health regime on the 9th. That's when a confusing New Moon will cloud your judgement. If you want to revise your diet or increase physical activity, talk to a doctor. The Full Moon on the 25th will tempt you to enjoy some down time, but work won't permit this. You'll have to cancel plans to accommodate a demanding boss.

A moneymaking offer on the 9th will not be all it is cracked up to be. That's when a deceptive New Moon will tempt you into taking a seemingly cushy job. Once you accept this position, you'll be dismayed to learn you have been duped. The Full Moon on the 25th will make it hard for you to spread your wings and fly. You may fail a test or fall short of graduation requirements.

SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st The New Moon on the 9th marks a professional opportunity. Look before you leap. The terms of this deal are extremely murky. You might be told you can work from home, only to discover you'll be expected to spend all your time in the corporate office. On the 25th, the Full Moon will bring some disappointing news. An emotional or financial gamble will backfire.

TAURUS

VIRGO

CAPRICORN

April 21st - May 21st

August 24th - Sept 23rd

December 22nd - Jan 20th

The New Moon on the 9th will make you impulsive. Beware of rushing a romantic relationship. Diving head first into a commitment will be cause for serious regret. You're dealing with someone who has a hidden side that is quite upsetting. On the 25th, the Full Moon will bring an embarrassing secret to light. You may discover someone has been cheating you out of a joint fund.

Your self-confidence will be undermined by a confusing New Moon on the 9th. No matter how clearly you try to communicate your points, the audience will fail to understand them. Don't get upset. Take deep breaths and try another approach. On the 25th, the Full Moon will create a rift in a close relationship.

The terms of a legal deal will be extremely unfair. It may be necessary to hire a lawyer to protect your interests. Even then, the New Moon on the 9th will make it difficult to get justice. It may be best to settle and walk away from an exhausting fight. The Full Moon on the 25th creates drama on the home front.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

May 22nd - June 21st

September 24th - Oct 23rd

January 21st - Feb 19th

Finding a place to live will be challenging during the first half of September. You may feel pressured to sign a lease or make a deposit on the 9th, due to a deceptive New Moon. Do not move forward on this deal until you have the property inspected by someone that you hire. The Full Moon on the 25th will send shock waves through your social circle.

A rival will take credit for your hard work in early September. Don't let the deceptive New Moon on the 9th cause you to let down your guard. If you submit work, do it to several people via email. That way, people will know when it was submitted and who generated it. The Full Moon on the 25th will cause you to question a close partnership.

An intimate relationship gets off to a rocky start in early September. The New Moon on the 9th causes people to be distrustful, elusive and deceptive. If you catch someone near and dear to you in a lie, it's a red flag. On the 25th, the Full Moon brings upsetting information to light. Decisions will be taken affecting your world of work.

The New Moon on the 9th will cause some wires to get crossed. If you're giving a set of confusing instructions, ask for clarification. Double check an address before entering it into your GPS. Before setting for an appointment, make sure it is the right date. On the 25th, the Full Moon will create stress on the professional front.

On the 9th, you'll meet some interesting people at a party or professional conference. It's best to maintain an air of formality with these people in the early stages. One or two of the individuals you meet will have shady characters. The Full Moon on the 25th brings the end to a demanding work assignment. It will be such a relief to get this project off your desk.

A close relationship will show signs of strain on or around the 9th. That's when a deceptive New Moon will cause you to jump to conclusions about your best friend, romantic partner or business associate. The Full Moon on the 25th brings a financial disappointment. Payment for work will be much less than you expected.

We Are Our Own Worst Enemies Part of my commute is a 3 mile section of road that runs through a residential area with a 30mph limit that I adhere to; at a constant 30mph, that takes me 6 minutes. This is slower, and longer, than some drivers, who are doing 50 along that road. /HW¡V JLYH WKRVH VSHHGLQJ GULYHUV WKH EHQHĂ€W RI the doubt and say they do 40 mph, meaning they will cover those 3 miles in 4.5 minutes. /DVW PRQWK WKH FRXQFLO WUDIĂ€F FDOPHG WKH DUHD with humps and chicanes.

1.5 minutes off their journey, now cause all of us to take 3 minutes longer on our journey, than if they had simply obeyed the law and stuck to the legal limit. You have probably encountered examples of this too: e.g. 50 signs and speed cameras appearing on roads that previously had a 60mph limit on them, all to slow speeding drivers.
