Brrr get the winter woollies out and that log burner going – winter seems to have arrived! I’m writing this with the heating full on and snuggled up in a soft wool poncho – the weather has caught me on the hop!

Chilly weather and winter fashion certainly make me think of the organizational headache of Christmas and I must admit I am feeling a tiny bit Bah Humbug at this moment in time!

Use Locally is growing again and we are looking for new distributors – see our advert in the magazine, if you are looking for a little extra money to get you through the month, or have an older responsible teen or know someone, please point them towards us – it’s a great way of getting some exercise and getting paid all at the same time!

Best Tech for Christmas The Ten Best Tech Gifts for Christmas

Christmas is coming, and that means it’s shopping time - but what do you buy a gadget-crazy friend or relative? These are the best tech gifts for Christmas.

1. A TV streamer - Whether it’s Amazon’s £35 Fire TV stick or Google’s £30 Chromecast, D 79 VWUHDPHU FDQ WXUQ D à DW screen TV into a smart TV. Amazon’s version gives you Amazon Prime Instant Video ZKLOH &KURPHFDVW RIIHUV 1HWà L[ (if you subscribe). Both devices have a range of free services too.

2. FishHunter - Buying for D ÀVKHUPDQ RU ZRPDQ" 7KH £149 FishHunter is a sonar ÀVK ÀQGHU WKDW FRQQHFWV WR \RXU smartphone via Bluetooth and FDQ ÀQG ÀVK DW GHSWKV RI XS to 120 feet - or you could buy WKH … :DWHU:ROI +' ÀVKLQJ camera, which can record up WR IRXU KRXUV RI ÀVK\ IRRWDJH DW depths of up to 100m.

3. Windows 10 - If you didn’t like Windows 8 very much you’re not alone - but Windows 10 is much, much better and comes on a dizzying range of good quality, affordable laptops IRU H[DPSOH WKH VXSHUE +3 Stream is £180.

4. TomTom Spark - Fitness trackers are everywhere, but the ÂŁ189 TomTom Spark stands out from the crowd by offering music storage for 500 songs

6

as well as sleep and activity tracking. Too pricey? The H[FHOOHQW )LWELW )OH[ LV … 5. Parrot drone - You can spend hundreds or even thousands of pounds on a drone quadricopter, but for £69 the Parrot Rolling Spider delivers an awful lot of fun for a UHODWLYHO\ ORZ SULFH ,W¡V D à \LQJ drone, of course, but it can also roll along on removable wheels to perform acrobatics.

6. iPad Mini - The iPad Mini is the cheapest way to get the L3DG H[SHULHQFH DQG LWV 5HWLQD display is a pleasure to look at.

Prices start at £319. If that’s a bit steep, Tesco’s £99 Androidpowered Hudl 2 and Amazon’s £79 Kindle Fire HD are great value for money.

7. ZX Spectrum - The iconic eighties home computer is back for 2015 in two forms: the ÂŁ100 Vega, which is designed purely for games and only has a few buttons, and the ÂŁ89 Remastered, which is a bluetooth keyboard that can play old Spectrum programs.

The Vega comes preloaded with hundreds of games, while the Remastered can potentially access 10,000 Spectrum titles.

6N\ODQGHUV 'LVQH\ ,QĂ€QLW\ or Minecraft anything - The big games for children this year are Skylanders Superchargers DQG 'LVQH\ ,QĂ€QLW\ ERWK

of which are available for all major consoles and which use interchangeable toys to unlock in-game characters.

And then there’s Minecraft, the global phenomenon: the children probably have the game already but there’s a KXJH UDQJH RI RIÀFLDOO\ OLFHQVHG merchandise to choose from LQFOXGLQJ DFWLRQ ÀJXUHV ERRNV and soft toys.

9. Smartwatch - It isn’t cheap - prices start at £299 - but Apple’s watch is the prettiest and most desirable smartwatch around, although it’s useless without an iPhone. If your recipient has an Android phone the Moto 360 2 (£229) is the best-looking Android Wear, while the £95 Pebble Steel works with Apple and Android and has garnered rave reviews.

10. Gift cards - Not strictly tech, we know, but if you’re buying for someone who already has everything they want then iTunes, Google Play or Amazon gift cards are a good bet. iTunes cards are often sold with big discounts of up to 20%, so it’s worth hanging on for the deals before you buy.

Boost Your Income in Time for Christmas

By Ann Haldon

With Christmas fast approaching it’s worthwhile trying to boost your income to cover some of the cost rather than over-using your credit card. So to avoid a huge bill in January and get the New Year off to a good start, try one or two of these ideas and generate some extra cash.

Use cashback sites when buying your presents If you like to shop online at Christmas, you might be surprised by just how much cash you can get back when using sites such as Quidco and TopCashBack. There’s no charge to sign up, and depending on the item purchased you can get between 3% and 10% of your money back.

Generate extra cash on eBay and Amazon Not only will you declutter and make space for the next LQĂ X[ RI SUHVHQWV VHOOLQJ items online can generate some much-needed extra money at this time of year.

There are hundreds of eBay categories, and once you get into a routine of photographing and describing your items, it’s SRVVLEOH WR VLJQLÀFDQWO\ ERRVW your Christmas budget.

Amazon is great for selling books, CDs and DVDs that

you no longer want, but they also offer hundreds of different item categories within their marketplace. If you have a lot of books to sell it can be quicker to list them on Amazon rather than eBay, as all you need to do is input the ISBN or title. The site then searches for the book and automatically adds postage, so all you need to do is write a short description.

Use the popularity of local Facebook pages Many people use Facebook to sell goods locally. It works like a FODVVLÀHG DG ² \RX OLVW \RXU LWHP and local people come round to view it before purchasing with cash. The local online groups are run by volunteers, and the listing is free-of-charge which saves you money in comparison with eBay and Amazon.

Become a mystery shopper If you’ve got time to spare, this can be a lucrative sideline and offers a great deal of variety.

Depending on the mystery shopping company, you could be carrying out a covert visit to a store, ordering a sandwich in Subway or checking out the service in your local bank. <RX¡OO QHHG WR Ă&#x20AC;OO LQ D UHSRUW online following each visit, and photograph or scan your receipts as proof that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve

carried it out. Make sure that you read the instructions thoroughly before you set out, however, as you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get paid if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow them to the letter.

Turn your hobby into a business The UK arts and crafts scene has risen massively in popularity, and there is a range of websites where you can sell your items. Folksy is one of the biggest of these in the UK, and offers lots of help to set up your account.

If you prefer to sell in person, however, try a Christmas craft IDLU LQ \RXU ORFDO DUHD ² WKHUH should be lots of trade and it helps that people can see the TXDOLW\ RI LWHPV Ă&#x20AC;UVW KDQG <RX¡OO SUREDEO\ Ă&#x20AC;QG WKDW \RXU local school or garden centre hold a craft event leading up to Christmas. Alternatively, bigger venues such as National Trust properties or stately homes in your area are also popular locations for craft fairs all year round.

These are just a few ideas for ERRVWLQJ \RXU LQFRPH ² WU\ picking one or two and you PLJKW Ă&#x20AC;QG WKDW \RX¡YH JRW VRPH money to spare in January. http://www.moneysavingexpert. com/family/make-money

OUR URGENT APPEAL For 25 years the people of Newark and the surrounding areas have offered their continued and outstanding commitment to the work of Beaumond House. The tireless fundraising and contributions have enabled the service here to develop into a place that holds a unique space in all of our hearts.

At Beaumond House our ambition is to ensure that we can help every single person from 1HZDUN DQG WKH VXUURXQGLQJ DUHD ZKR QHHGV XV DW WKHLU PRVW GLIÀ FXOW WLPHV RI OLIH :H believe that the care provided by Beaumond House is second to none and that it should be available to everyone who would like to be supported by us.

We can only achieve that dream with the support of people like you.

It is becoming increasingly hard to raise the funds we need to continue to provide our unique, care, support and love to the hundreds of people whose lives we touch every year. We are therefore appealing to you, whether you have already been touched directly by Beaumond House or have a loved one who may need our support in the future to consider (increasing your current gift) making a gift to Beaumond House.

You can make a huge difference to the lives of local people by supporting Beaumond House.

Donating just £3 a month for a year could help us to pay for an hour of Hospice care for someone in their own home. £5.50 a month for a year, a day care place for a day and £33 a month for a year could help to pay for a night of respite at Beaumond House.

Setting up a standing order is so simple you can download a form from our website www.beaumondhouse.co.uk or call 01636 610556 and send it to Beaumond House and we will do the rest. Your gift will be worth even more to us if you also complete the gift aid declaration. This will mean that for every £1 you donate to us we can claim an additional 25p on your behalf direct from HMRC - it won’t cost you a penny.

We will let you know when we start receiving your funds and it will come with a huge thank you from everyone here at Beaumond House Our 2015 Light up a Life service will be held on Sunday 6th December at Beaumond House. All names and dedications will be entered in our Book or Remembrance which will be on display at Beaumond House from Sunday 6th December until twelfth night.

Donating is really easy - you can text ‘LUAL32 £25’ or any amount of your choice to 70070. Or if you would like to dedicate a light to someone you love contact us on 01636 610556 to make your donation.

And Another Thing...

Tom and the Pink Cowboy Hat

by Tom Hughes

The squeal from the hallway ZHQW WKURXJK PH OLNH ÀQJHUQDLOV down a blackboard. “Tom! They’re here!”

My Dearly Beloved appeared waving an envelope. With trepidation, I lowered my copy of Ford Mondeo Monthly.

“Look Tom! Our Robbie tickets!” +RUUHQGRXV LPDJHV ÁDVKHG through my mind - a football VWDGLXP ÀOOHG ZLWK SLQN FRZER\ hats, a million empty plastic ZLQH ERWWOHV DQG HQGOHVV WUDIÀF jams on the way home.

“But what about my tinnitus?

You know I can’t stand loud noises. It’s all that high pitched wailing and out of tune singing.”

“Well, you know what a Robbie crowd is like.”

“I wasn’t talking about the crowd...”

“For goodness sake Tom, stop being an old fuddy duddy! And we’ve got priority tickets, so if we get in early enough we’ll be right at the front!”

So, after parking the Mondeo Ghia X a handy four miles from the ground, we began our pilgrimage - past fat men with mullets selling fake T-shirts, the pungent smell of greasy burgers and the wizened touts yelling “Any spare tickets?”. Eventually we made it to turnstile B, where the stewards held us behind a line until...three, two, one, go! - we sprinted across the pitch towards the front of the stage. I looked across at a fellow husband who was clearly thinking the same thing as me.

And Tom Hughes sprints the length of the pitch - and he scores!

There the exhilaration ended as we parked up at the front and, surrounded by thousands of fans, stared at an empty black stage for three hours. Vague memories of my schoolboy SDQLF DWWDFNV ÀOWHUHG WKURXJK my mind. I was trapped! I was just in the middle of trying not WR WKLQN DERXW ÀJKWLQJ P\ ZD\ to the gents when three ladies wearing matching blinged-up T-shirts took turns to barge into me. One of the trio tried to focus her eyes onto my face.

“Wha’sem yellow things in your ears?”

“Pardon? Oh these ear plugs?

It’s quite simple madam, I can’t stand Robbie Williams.”

I watched as the woman took another slug of warm Chardonnay and tried to work out why anyone would stand in D FROG VWDGLXP IRU ÀYH KRXUV WR see someone they hated.

Then, at last, the lights dimmed, the decibels increased and Mr Williams bounded onto the stage. I pushed my earplugs in as far as they would go. Then, something weird happened.

I stared to tap my feet. An hour and a half and a bottle of Blossom Hill later I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Excuse me sir, but can you remove your pink cowboy hat? I can’t see the stage?” Taking hold of my hand, my Dearly Beloved yelled into my ear, “Tom Hughes? Tell me that’s not a tear in your eye?”

“Sarah, don’t be so silly!”

And through it all, she offers me protection, a lot of love and affection....

Amazingly, the thought of standing on a penalty spot for Follow Tom on Twitter ÀYH KRXUV LQ WKH GUL]]OLQJ UDLQ @groomsdaybook wasn’t really doing it for me.

Movember: Because Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Matters

MOVEMBER.COM

By Alison Runham www.alison.runham.co.uk

ŕś&#x2039;ŕś?ŕś&#x2030;ŕś&#x2013;ŕś?ŕś&#x2018;ŕś&#x2013;ŕś? ŕś&#x153;ŕś?ŕś? ŕś&#x17D;ŕś&#x2030;ŕś&#x2039;ŕś? ŕś&#x2014;ŕś&#x17D; ŕś&#x2022;ŕś?ŕś&#x2013;ŕś&#x203A; ŕś?ŕś?ŕś&#x2030;ŕś&#x201D;ŕś&#x153;ŕś?

Since 2003, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Movemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has inspired 4 million moustaches worldwide. But whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it really about? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look behind the moustache.

WHAT IS MOVEMBER? The November challenge asks men to grow moustaches and talk about their health, with the aim to increase awareness of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health issues and raise funds for the Movember Foundation, a global charity whose mission is â&#x20AC;&#x153;to have an everlasting impact on the face of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthâ&#x20AC;?.

The Foundation aims to reduce male mortality from prostate and testicular cancer and improve sufferersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; physical and mental health, and to reduce mortality from male suicide by reducing mental health discrimination and ensuring that men and boys understand how to stay mentally healthy, taking action early when they experience problems.

So far, it has raised ÂŁ346 million DQG Ă&#x20AC;QDQFHG UHVHDUFK and awareness programs in 21 countries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the last 10 years or so... weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built the largest global menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health movement off the back of the simple act of growing a moustache and a sense of fun and mateship,â&#x20AC;? says Adam Garone, CEO and Co-Founder.

WHY FOCUS ON MENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HEALTH? In 2011, the average UK life H[SHFWDQF\ ZDV \HDUV IRU ZRPHQ EXW MXVW \HDUV IRU men, who were 14% more likely

22

to get cancer and 32% more likely to die from it. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in 25-49 year olds, but KLJKO\ FXUDEOH LQ PHQ ZLOO be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point.

The Foundation believes the main reasons for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poor health are: â&#x20AC;˘ Lack of awareness and understanding of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health issues â&#x20AC;˘ Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reluctance to discuss their health and feelings or take action when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re unwell â&#x20AC;˘ Engaging in risky activities â&#x20AC;˘ Mental health stigmas The Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent research showed that 99% of Movember participants talked to someone about their health, 75% were more aware of potential health issues and 62% had seen a doctor, or intended to, to discover their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;key numbersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

THE MOVEMBER FOUNDATIONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ADVICE FOR MEN Know your key numbers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;one of the most important things you can do,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; whatever your age. Track your body mass index, weight, waistline measurement, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose levels.

Know your family history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including illnesses suffered by family members who have passed away.

Keep moving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maintain (or

work up to) 20-30 minutes of moderate physical activity, 2-3 days a week, avoid sitting for too long and stay on the move.

Take action early â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Early diagnosis is often key to living a healthy lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong, your mind is put at rest.

Attend that prostate examination and check your testes regularly (http://www.yourprivates.org.uk/ provides a useful guide).

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smoke- smoking doubles heart disease risk and makes you 20 times more likely to develop lung cancer.

Eat well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think moderation and variety. Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains lean PHDWV SRXOWU\ Ă&#x20AC;VK EHDQV DQG nuts and minerals, and avoid foods and drinks with added sugars or high saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol and salt.

Sleep well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lack of sleep and poor quality sleep can damage your immune system and increase appetite and vulnerability to stress.

Stay mentally healthy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; spend WLPH GRLQJ WKLQJV \RX Ă&#x20AC;QG enjoyable and relaxing. Be proactive about your mental health.

Drink alcohol only in moderation Wear sunscreen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and check skin changes with your doctor. Early diagnosis and treatment dramatically increases melanoma survival rates.

Autumn Planning and Planting

by Pippa Greenwood There is no doubt that the main growing season is over for the year and autumn is now very much with us, which makes it a perfect time to review exactly how your garden looks at this time of year and to do some planning and planting too.

If everything is looking a bit glum, why not make sure that for years to come you have many rich autumnal shades of orange, red, yellow and gold to brighten things up? There are numerous trees, shrubs and climbers with brilliant autumn colour and now is the perfect time for planting, as the soil should still be relatively warm and considerably more moist than it was during summer. It is also a perfect time to shop for plants which you can enjoy at this time of year, giving you the chance to see the plants ÂśLQ WKH Ă HVK¡ DQG Ă&#x20AC;QG RXW ZKLFK individual tints and hues you Ă&#x20AC;QG WKH PRVW DWWUDFWLYH Make sure that you check the growing requirements of the trees and shrubs you choose carefully and ensure that you can supply them with exactly what they need, as soil and site FRQGLWLRQV FDQ KXJHO\ LQĂ XHQFH autumn colour. For instance, one of my real favourites is the sweet gum or Liquidambar but this is unlikely to produce the striking colour for which it is renowned if planted in a relatively shallow soil over

chalk. You should also try to choose a relatively sheltered site for plants grown for autumn colour, avoiding the most windswept areas where strong winds will rapidly knock the leaves from the shrub or tree just when the plant has come into the best of its autumnal shades.

The ultimate choice of plants will be largely determined by the conditions in and the size of your garden, so a trip to your local garden centre is worthwhile. The Japanese crimson glory vine (Vitis coignetiae) is a fabulous ornamental vine which can grow to a height of 90 feet, so can be used to train over trees or large buildings. Its toothed leaves turn a range of purple, crimson and reddish-orange colours in autumn. Some viburnums, including Viburnum dentatum, also have lovely autumn colours and for bright yellow autumn foliage then the witch hazels (Hamamelis and Fothergilla) are some of my favourites, although they prefer an acid soil.

The numerous maples, particularly the Japanese maples, not only bring vibrant colours into your garden during autumn but being relatively small or very slow growing are suitable for most plots.

There are lots of different types of Acer palmatum which

bring lovely colour, including Acer palmatum Âś/XWHVHQV¡ which turns a rich yellowish JROG Âś&ULPVRQ 4XHHQ¡ Âś7URPSHQEXUJ¡ Âś*DUQHW¡ DQG Âś6HLU\X¡ Âś2VDND]XNL¡ Âś2UDQJH 'UHDP¡ Âś+HSWDOREXP¡ DQG $FHU SDOPDWXP ÂśGLVVHFWXP¡ and Acer palmatum â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dissectum DWURSXUSXUHXP¡ DQG DOVR the beautiful leaves of Acer palmatum Âś%HQL 6KLGDUH¡ Whatever you choose it is important to make sure that the SODQWV¡ URRW EDOOV DUH WKRURXJKO\ watered and teased out, before being placed in a well prepared planting hole. Plant at the correct depth, so that the shrub or tree is buried to the same depth as it was whilst in the compost. Always keep the soil just moist around the roots, both now and throughout next year, to help them get well established so you can enjoy them for years to come.

Make vegetable growing fun and productive with Pippaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unique â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Grow Your Own with Pippa Greenwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; system. Select your vegetable plants from www. pippagreenwood.com and your garden-ready plants are delivered in May; what makes it unique is that Pippa will email you every week with lots of tips and help about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing, ensuring great results.

Home & Interiors Buying a Bespoke Kitchen

If you have an awkwardly shaped room or want more WKDQ RQH VL]H Ă&#x20AC;WV DOO RSWLRQV then your obvious choice is a custom-made kitchen.

Buying a bespoke kitchen is like asking a tailor to make you a dress - you get a unique DQG SHUIHFWO\ Ă&#x20AC;WWLQJ RXWĂ&#x20AC;W WKDW makes the most of your best bits and disguises the worst.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attractive, comfortable and, whilst more costly, it will always look good and should last a lifetime. In kitchen terms, this means that a bespoke commission can cope with wonky walls, strange dimensions and interesting architectural features, will adapt to whateverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required of it, whether chaotic family meals or haute cuisine dinner parties, and will use high quality materials that will stand the test of time. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re guaranteed that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of a kind.

Why buy bespoke?

sizes and worktops, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about it. If your wall is a few centimetres longer than the standard run of cupboards, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll end up with a gap. It might be called a tray slot or space for a pull-out towel rail, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a gap. A bespoke kitchen, on the other hand, will be built to the exact dimensions of the room, and can include extra-high base units, extra-deep worktops and a combination of different materials. You can choose the type of timber or the colour of the paint, and you can specify any worktop, handle or appliance you like - even special matching sockets can EH Ă&#x20AC;WWHG $V PDQDJLQJ GLUHFWRU and chief designer Andrew Hall, of Woodstock Furniture, says: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The beauty of a bespoke kitchen design service is that you end up with an ergonomic, FRKHVLYH DQG XQLĂ&#x20AC;HG VSDFH that is completely unique and tailored to your individual needs.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

cupboards, perhaps with open shelves and free-standing dressers; or it may be the size and shape of the island unit.

Special appliances or cooking utensils can be measured and interiors designed to suit, for the ultimate, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;everything in its placeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; room that combines good looks with functionality.

Working with a designer Before contacting a bespoke kitchen company, start by considering what type of kitchen you want; otherwise, the possibilities could be overwhelming. Many people Ă&#x20AC;QG LW KHOSIXO WR NHHS D scrapbook of designs they like.
