Karols Korner Make a difference this autumn!

October already? Where has the year gone? Its already turning colder and summer seems a distant memory!

With this issue our thoughts are already turning to autumn half term and the dreaded Christmas preparations and present shopping!

Or maybe you are super efficient and have already wrapped and squirreled away all your gifts for this year?

Well if you have please, spare a thought for organizations needing your wonderful skills, perhaps find time to donate a couple of hours a week to doing something in your community? It would get you out and about and meet new people. It could be as simple as dog walking at the local rescue or manning a phone line, or even just talking to an elderly person living alone near you.

Whatever your plans are this autumn, clearing a space to give your time is an incredibly generous thing to do and one that will really make a difference. Perhaps the best gift you can give this Christmas is yourself.

Have a great October!

Karol, Wally, Scarlet & Flame.

PCs Fixed in Your Own Home or Office

Maybe your computer isn't working properly, no internet connection or running slow.

Or maybe you just need someone to help you turn it on! Whatever your issue……

Trust Denton Systems your local IT company with 20 years of experience to set it right.

Testimonial The contract manager called me five minutes after I called their office and a representative was with me within the hour and left me with a quote for full removal. This was carried out one week later. Two operatives arrived on time, dismantled and removed my garage and they left with no mess and cleaned up really well. The two operatives were very professional and polite and were a credit to the company

Technology

AVOID TECH HORRORS THIS HALLOWEEN What to do with a watery phone and how to protect your photos‌ Not everything that goes bump in the night is a ghost or a ghoul. Sometimes it’s a crucial bit of kit getting damaged. Unfortunately no piece of technology lasts forever, any device can be VWROHQ RU GDPDJHG DQG DQ\ GLJLWDO ÀOH FDQ EH deleted or corrupted. If it contains something that really matters to you – your priceless family photos or home videos, perhaps, or your university dissertation, or the book that’s going to make you a superstar – then any problems could be catastrophic.

So how do you prevent problems from becoming Halloween horrors?

7KH ÀUVW WKLQJ WR GR LV WR HQVXUH WKDW \RX KDYH more than one copy of anything important. For example, if you store all your photos on your phone you should make sure you have copies of all of them on your PC too: if your phone was to be stolen and you didn’t have backups of your photos, they’d be gone forever. You can also use online services such as Apple’s iCloud or Google Photos to store your snaps on Apple or Google’s computers. Other services from the likes of Flickr and DropBox can do the same.

That means if you lose your phone or PC, you can still download the photos to a different phone or PC later. Those services aren’t just limited to photos, either. You can use them to store and share documents of any kind.

A really good way to have backups is to get an external hard disk. If you have a recent PC or Mac you have USB 3.0 ports, which are much faster than the USB 2.0 ports in 12

older computers. That means you can take advantage of super-speedy USB 3.0 drives. You don’t need to spend much to get a good one: for example, Toshiba’s Canvio Basics is currently £44.99 for 1TB of space, more than enough for even the biggest photo library. Even a massive drive such as the 4TB WD My Passport is less than £100.

7KHUH DUH RWKHU ZD\V WR FRS\ ÀOHV VXFK DV 86% sticks and DVD discs (if your computer has a DVD burner), but we wouldn’t recommend them. USB sticks aren’t really made to last and they’re easy to lose, while DVD discs take ages to burn, don’t have much storage capacity and aren’t particularly well-suited to long term storage.

So far we’ve talked about prevention. What about cure? One of the most common computer, tablet or phone disasters is a liquid spill. If that happens to you, turn the device off immediately and if it’s a laptop, turn it upside down so the keyboard is facing down. Whatever you do, don’t turn it back on until you’re sure it’s completely dry inside. If it isn’t, you could cause a short-circuit that’ll ruin the computer.

Have you heard the one about putting a phone in a sealed bag of rice? That works, because the rice draws out the moisture – but it takes at least two days to work. As with laptops, keep the phone off until it’s completely dry.

The dishwasher LV EHVW QHDU WKH VLQN 3ODFLQJ \RXU KRE FRRNHU against an exterior wall or chimney is better for easy extraction.

Function is vital, especially when maximising space, and research and planning are key.

First, consider who will use the room, and how: for cooking, homework, watching TV, doing laundry? Do you want gadget storage and cupboards or open shelves? Do you have a dresser or sideboard to include? Would you prefer built-in or free-standing appliances?

A scrapbook of images (online or on paper) can help, as will a scaled plan of the kitchen on graph paper. Mark the position of doors, windows, radiators and power points, and experiment with layouts.

Next, think about colour, pattern and texture, and how to co-ordinate cupboards with worktops, à RRULQJ OLJKWLQJ DQG WLOLQJ 'RQ¡W IRUJHW WKH VLQN and taps, knobs and handles, the splashback and window treatments.

Small Spaces Making the most of kids’ bedrooms

by Kate Duggan kateduggan.co.uk Vox Nest Kids Cabin Bed, ÂŁ695 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 à 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 ÀWV 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 £695 from www.cuckooland. com, which includes some shelves, and you can add organisers, pull-out drawers, a desk, pull-out wardrobe and more. Budget-friendly cabin beds can be picked up from ZZZ PUVà DWSDFN FR XN DQG N&N Furniture Bargains on Facebook.

Lots of beds are available as a ‘shorty’. These are shorter than normal beds and will usually 20

STORAGE SOLUTIONS Children’s clothes usually don’t need that much hanging space, so the bottom of wardrobes is often wasted or used as a dumping ground. If you’re buying new, look for a wardrobe that includes shelves or drawers. If you already have a wardrobe, see whether you FDQ ÀW DQ H[WUD UDLO VTXHH]H LQ a small cupboard or add some large storage bags or boxes.

Try to utilise wasted space as much as possible. For a start, add a hanging organiser to the back of the bedroom door.

While they’re often designed for shoes, they’re perfect IRU GROOV DFWLRQ ÀJXUHV DQG teddies, or socks, tights, pants and vests. 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!

Gardening Beautiful Bulbs

by Pippa Greenwood fully waterproof container or saucer beneath each pot to protect your furniture.

Why not make your house all the more special this winter with some colourful bowls of bulbs, perhaps with some gorgeous perfume too? You can buy ready-planted bowls of bulbs later in the year, but act now for a stunning display at a fraction of the price.

The best bulbs are those described as ‘prepared’, which PHDQV WKH\ ZLOO Ă RZHU ZHOO reliably and uniformly indoors.

Although often pricier they are still great value, as results with standard bulbs may be unpredictable. I like to use prepared hyacinths, but I have bowls of non-prepared bulbs too.

Visit your local garden centre now and you should see a good array of bulbs for sale, plus all the other things you need. Special bulb bowls are a good buy, and are available in many colours. They’re like huge soup bowls, but in plastic or china, and have no drainage holes. You can use QRUPDO à RZHU SRWV EXW SXW D 22

%XOE ÀEUH RU special compost formulated for indoor bulb planting performs better in containers without drainage, but is more expensive, and you can use standard multipurpose compost if you wish.

Hyacinths for forcing are available in many shades, but use a single colour in any one container as there is often VRPH YDULDWLRQ LQ Ă RZHULQJ times between the colours, and ideally you want all the Ă RZHUV RXW VLPXOWDQHRXVO\ Specially prepared crocus, paperwhite narcissus and some other daffodil types are also available. You can create a low-cost bowl with a large bag of inexpensive dwarf narcissus, such as ‘Tete-aTete’. Crocuses also work well.

Fill your bowl about one third full of compost for larger bulbs to one half full for smaller bulbs. Firm the compost gently and position the bulbs pointed end uppermost. They can be quite closely packed, but not so they touch each other or the sides of the bowl. Nestle

the bulbs gently into the compost and then top up with compost so that just the noses are poking out. Water the compost lightly until moist but not waterlogged. Cover the bowls loosely with a black bin liner and put them in a cool, dark place so that the bulbs can form good root systems.

Check the bowls every week or so and apply a little more water if necessary. Bring the bowls out into the daylight once the shoots are about 2-3cm tall, which usually takes 3-5 weeks. Put them in a cool spot with plenty of natural daylight, where the shoots will continue to grow and develop a healthy green colour; they will now need a little more water.

Put your bulb bowl in a ZDUPHU URRP RQFH WKH Ă RZHU buds start to colour up. For a really smart look, cover the compost with some moss or tie a seasonal ribbon around the bowl.

Visit Pippa’s website www. pippagreenwood.com and you’ll ďŹ nd some great gardening items: stylish cloches, tunnels, the fantastic SpeedHoe, plant supports, raised bed kits, Easy-Tunnels, gardening tools, Grower Frames, signed books and more! Or why not book Pippa for a gardening talk at your gardening club?

Make your dream kitchen a reality!

Why you should give your kitchen a much needed facelift.

Surprisingly, most people are unaware of kitchen facelift services and how they could greatly benefit from them.

As we all know replacing a kitchen completely can be a costly, messy, noisy and time consuming affair. However, with a kitchen facelift, much of the stress and worry involved in replacing a kitchen is removed and achieving a very similar effect.

So how do kitchen facelifts work? Simple, most of the aesthetic features from your kitchen are stripped away and replaced with an alternate version more suitable to your preferences.

These features can include: Kitchen doors, worktops and even kitchen appliances. With an almost infinite amount of design and colour choices having a kitchen facelift can prove to be the best alternative to an expensive kitchen replacement.

Let’s go over some strengths to getting a kitchen facelift: • Money- As a facelift only requires the replacement of 26

certain assets in your kitchen the overall cost of the process is considerably less than that of a full kitchen replacement.

• Time- Normally a full kitchen replacement would take weeks, often being a burden to the customer. In the case of kitchen refits the job could be completed within 1-2 days, a substantial difference and hardly a bother at all.

• Less Mess- Since replacement doesn’t concern itself with messy endeavours such as knocking down walls the resulting mess of the procedure is insignificant and is always cleared by professionals long before it can be considered an issue.

• Less stress- With hardly any noise and the work only taking an average of 2-5 days you can soon get back to your life in a brand new kitchen without having to worry for weeks waiting for your kitchen to be complete.

So here is a simple list of benefits you’re guaranteed when choosing us: • FREE No-Obligation QuoteFrom the comfort of your own home.

• Huge range of products and services The possibilities are endless!

• Less time/ money/ hassle Our streamlined process is proven to please.

• UK manufactured in Timber and MDF made to the highest standard.

• Family run local showrooms There’s bound to be a showroom near you!

• 50% deposit!

50% balance on satisfactory completion.

• Environmentally friendly Less waste and no need for skip hire!

• Made to measure high quality doors Care and precision found nowhere else.

• Award winning Commitment to quality, customer care and merchandising.

• FULLY GUARANTEED.

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES

LEO

March 21st - April 20th

24th - August 23rd

The New Moon on the 9th puts strain on a close relationship. Just when you thought you were making a breakthrough with a romantic or business partner, an argument breaks out. On the 24th, the Full Moon could bring an influx of income. Use this money to treat yourself to something you've set your heart on and wanted for a long time.

TAURUS April 21st - May 21st Despite your best efforts, it will be difficult to get organised on the 9th.

That's when a tense New Moon keeps calling you away from your duties. The Full Moon on the 24th invites you to enjoy some self-pampering. Instead of pouring all your energy into a close relationship, do something nice for yourself. Take a few days off work and get a massage.

Acquiring a skill will be more difficult than expected on the 9th. That's when the New Moon puts you in the path of a relentless critic. It will be hard to study with their disdainful voice in your ear.

On the 24th, the Full Moon marks an impressive turning point in your career.

You'll be given a promotion or high profile position. This will come as a total surprise.

CAPRICORN December 22nd - Jan 20th

The New Moon attracts a moneymaking opportunity on the 9th.

Taking this job will limit your personal life. You'll spend virtually all your time at the office, trying to satisfy a demanding client or supervisor. The Full Moon on the 24th finds you returning from a trip, finishing an ongoing project or collecting a diploma. There will be a surprise bonus for your hard work.

LIBRA September 24th - Oct 23rd

June 22nd - July 23rd The New Moon on the 9th warns against confiding in an untrustworthy person. A relative who pretends to have your best interests at heart is really jealous. The Full Moon on the 24th brings a group project to its successful conclusion.

Much to your surprise, you'll be named most valuable player. The other members of the group appreciate your leadership ability.

On the 9th, the New Moon will spark a group project. This venture will not pay very well. To add insult to injury, you'll find your indecisive colleagues highly unpleasant. The Full Moon on the 24th is perfect for getting organised. Getting rid of clutter will make space for new energy in your life. Make three piles: Donate, discard and sell.

August 24th - Sept 23rd

May 22nd - June 21st

CANCER

November 23rd - Dec 21st

VIRGO

GEMINI On the 9th, the New Moon puts you in the path of romance. Although the lure of a creative person is powerful, you should hesitate before getting involved in a serious relationship. On the 24th, the Full Moon will bring a welcome chance to rest and recharge your batteries. If an appointment or trip is cancelled at the last minute, don't complain. Instead, treat it as a chance to relax.

SAGITTARIUS

You yearn to break out of your shell on the 9th, when the New Moon prompts a personal change. Your family won't be supportive of your desire to pursue a particular career, move to a different neighbourhood or take up another belief system. The Full Moon on the 24th brings a cheque and bonus that is much bigger than you expected.

SCORPIO October 24th - Nov 22nd The New Moon on the 9th makes you yearn for privacy. Unfortunately, a relative or neighbour keeps trying to pry into your personal business. On the 24th, your romantic or business partner will have some surprising news. A big promotion or hefty raise will increase your standard of living. If you're single, you won't be for long.

A professional opportunity will beckon on the 9th, but think carefully before accepting it. A conflicted New Moon will force you to choose between having a wildly successful career and a comfortable home life. The Full Moon on the 24th marks an exciting turning point in your personal life. You might decide to get engaged or married on the spur of the moment.

AQUARIUS January 21st - Feb 19th The New Moon on the 9th will bring an enticing opportunity to travel, study or write. Unfortunately, you won't be able to make the most of this chance. An expired passport or tight enrolment window will force you to postpone plans for another time. On the 24th, there will be unexpected changes at home. You might have to relocate for work.

PISCES Feb 20th - March 20th A physical relationship forces you to make a decision on the 9th. That's when the New Moon causes someone very close to you to question your feelings towards them. Spending all your time with friends makes them feel neglected. It's time to change your priorities. Surprising news will reach your ears on the 24th, when the Full Moon brings hidden information to light.

Achieving A Better Work-Life Balance

1st â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5th October is National Work Life Week, focusing on how employees and employers can improve work-life balance.

Research undertaken by campaign organisers Working Families found that: â&#x20AC;˘ Half of parents feel their work-life balance causes stress. â&#x20AC;˘ One in ten is ready to resign (without another job). â&#x20AC;˘ Seven out of ten parents work at home in the evenings or weekends, due to increasing workloads, organisational culture and manager attitudes.

But working long hours is bad for us. Research by Public Health expert Prof Mika Kivimäki showed that people working 55 hours or more per week have a 33% higher risk of stroke and a 13% higher risk of coronary heart disease than those working a 35 to 40-hour week.

Experts suggest this is probably due to prolonged sitting, stress, less time for exercise and less time for relaxation and healthy eating.

So, how can employees achieve a better work-life balance and how can employers help?

34

â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘

â&#x20AC;˘

Employees: Think Flexibility The Working Families study showed that half of people in the UK want WR ZRUN Ă H[LEO\ EXW IHZHU than one in ten jobs DGYHUWLVHG RIIHU Ă H[LEOH working. â&#x20AC;˘ Discuss your requirements and possible solutions with your HPSOR\HU VXFK DV Ă H[LEOH working, changing work times, reducing your hours or working fully or partially from home.

Self-employment may appeal but be warned: it has its downsides and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suit everyone. Finding work, selling your skills, doing your own book-keeping and admin, taking sole responsibility for the quality and completion of projects, avoiding distractions and motivating yourself can be overwhelming, stressful and lonely.

Know when to say no and when to down tools (resist opening work-related emails after hours).

Get enough sleep. Working into the night is ultimately counter-productive as your memory, response time and concentration will all suffer.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also putting yourself at great risk of mental and physical health issues.

Prioritise tasks and break them down into smaller steps to stay on track, avoid being overwhelmed and have a feeling of achievement.

Employers: Listen to Your Employees 7R EHFRPH D PRUH Ă H[LEOH employer: â&#x20AC;˘ Investigate how technology could help your employees work from home or while travelling, using Cloud-based services to access real-time Ă&#x20AC;QDQFLDO GDWD PHVVDJH colleagues and collaborate on projects online. â&#x20AC;˘ Listen to employee requests UHJDUGLQJ Ă H[LEOH ZRUNLQJ HWF with an open mind, but also express your concerns so that they can address them. A trial period allows both parties to see how well a new working pattern performs in practice. â&#x20AC;˘ Consider offering job-share options.

You should also consider the well-being of your employees and ensure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re meeting your legal obligations to them. â&#x20AC;˘ Do they get their statutory breaks in a place away from their workstation? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you signpost or offer mental and physical health services? â&#x20AC;˘ Do you ensure equipment is positioned correctly to avoid physical strain and fatigue? â&#x20AC;˘ Are employees encouraged to speak up if they feel the demands placed on them are too great?

Research shows that happier, healthier employees are more productive and loyal, so caring about their wellbeing is not just altruistic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it makes good business sense as well.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Bomb in Your Carâ&#x20AC;Ś Would you hold your arm 5cm over an explosive device, knowing that if it went off it would probably break your arm in several places?

Thought not.

Yet this is done daily by drivers who hold the steering wheel at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;11 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with just their right arm.

ZDV ZKHQ 8. FDUV VWDUWHG WR EH Ă&#x20AC;WWHG ZLWK steering-wheel airbags. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now universal on all volume manufacture models, so most people now drive a car that, when it detects an impact at as little as 16mph, will eject an airbag at up to 200mph!

And an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;11 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; positioned arm is right in the blast zone.

7ZR VWRULHV 2QH IDFWXDO IURP P\ Ă&#x20AC;UVW KDQG research, and another, possibly hearsay, but

based on the above has some credence.

6WRU\ KDV EHHQ FRQĂ&#x20AC;UPHG E\ SDUDPHGLFV attending car accidents where the airbag has deployed, and the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm was over the steering wheel on impact. In one instance the airbag threw the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm into the roof, breaking it in several places. On another occasion, the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arm was dislocated from their shoulder socket.

Story 2: A driver was involved in a low-speed crash â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that they should have walked away from â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the airbag deployed. They had their hand over the steering wheel and a large watch on their wrist.

Their arm and watch impacted with their forehead, causing a brain injury.

The accepted best practice for steering is two hands on the wheel, positioned at either â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;quarterto-threeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ten-to-twoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. This offers the best in car control and keeps your arms away from that bomb under the steering wheelâ&#x20AC;Ś Makes you think doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it?

Indoor games for wet autumn days

When the summer has gone and you’re not able to get out as much with your dog, it’s important to keep them active even if they’re in the house.

Try these indoor games to stimulate mind and body, prevent boredom, and let your dog thrive through the wetter autumn months.

Treasure Hunt It’s a good idea to play this

PETS

game in a room that has carpet RU RWKHU QRQ VOLS ÁRRULQJ VR your dog doesn’t injure itself in the excitement. Hide some of their favourite treats in one or more areas of your home, and let them hunt for the ‘treasure’.

If your dog is more tempted by toys, you could always replace the treats with their favourite ones. This is also a good game if you make people they know the ‘treasure’ – especially when children are involved as it keeps them entertained too.

Treat puzzles Stimulate your dog’s mind with chewable toys, puzzles, and activity balls in which you hide food treats. It will take some

time to work out how to get to the treats, and the activity balls keep them physically active too.

Ball games If you have a long hallway, you can roll the ball along and get them to bring it back. Throwing a ball up the stairs is also a great way to give them the exercise they need without setting foot outside. You’ll have a very tired friend on your hands before long, ready to play again the next rainy day. www.bluecross.org.uk/pet-advice/indoorgames-dogs barkpost.com/life/12-rainy-dayentertainment-ideas-for-dogs
