Combine airport hotel and parking If you are travelling early in the morning or from an airport a long way from home, you may need to stay in an airport hotel the night before. If so, you can save money by combining the accommodation costs with car parking for the duration of your holiday.
Quick and Easy Ways to Save Money on Your Summer Holiday Summer holidays provide muchneeded rest and relaxation in the middle of our often-busy year, and may even be considered essential to our health and wellbeing. They do not need to cost the earth, but how can you save money without detracting from the enjoyment of this precious time away? Here are a few tips to free up some extra spending money for this year’s holiday, or cash to put towards your getaway next year. Negotiate on price It is possible to negotiate down your holiday price, particularly if it’s last minute. Tour and hotel operators are likely to be open to negotiation if it means they FDQ žOO WKH ODVW IHZ SODFHV RQ a tour, or the remaining empty airline seats.

Travel while you sleep Travelling while you sleep is a great way to make savings on the cost of your holiday. Whether you are starting your journey by train, coach or cross-channel ferry, overnight travel using these methods can be considerably cheaper than booking a hotel for the night. ,QGHSHQGHQW H[FXUVLRQV The cost of excursions can be eye-watering, especially for a family, so try organising your own days out to save money. You may be able to buy admission tickets to attractions and events before you go on holiday, and by booking transport locally you will have a truly authentic experience. Going to different places and enjoying new experiences DUH OLIH DIžUPLQJ DQG FDQ be more affordable than you think. Save money on your summer holiday by driving down prices across the board, whether that is for an allinclusive package deal or an independently created journey of a lifetime. By Ann Haldon

Shampoo is a good choice. It absorbs excess sebum, boosts volume and helps to prevent an itchy, irritated scalp. It’s a spray rather than a powder, so won’t leave you looking like you’ve been dusted with talc (unlike some other dry shampoos). The travel-sized 50ml bottle is perfect for holidays, although the 200ml is a lot better value for money. It’s £9-£19.50, see www. philipkingsley.co.uk. I’m very tempted by the new Como Viaggio Travel Styling Kits by Alfa Italia. Each kit comprises a travel hairdryer, mini ceramic styling iron, two sectioning clips
A facial oil can help to tackle dry patches, boost hydration and soften skin. Personally, I prefer a 100% natural oil like Gorgias London’s Age Renewal Facial Oil, which I’ve been using at nighttime for a few weeks now. It’s a 100% natural blend of seed and plant oils, including avocado, prickly pear, olive and argan. The blend is packed with nutrients, vitamins, fatty acids, omega 9 and antioxidants. My skin drinks it up and always feels softer and ‘happier’ the morning after using it. It costs £44.95 from www.gorgiaslondon. com.

If, like me, your legs are less smooth alabaster and more pale mottled mess, fake tan can be your friend. Had a bad experience with bright orange streaks? Modern formulas are a huge improvement on their predecessors. Just exfoliate and moisturise well before you start. Bondi Sands’ Protect & Tan is a great introduction to self-tanning. As the name implies, it helps to protect your skin from the sun and builds a gradual, natural-looking tan over a few days of use. It’s SPF 15 so not strong enough for sunbathing but perfect if you’re popping to the shops. It’s an oil, but not greasy, and it leaves skin feeling softer for hours afterwards. It’s £12.99 at www. boots.com. By Kate Duggan

Horoscopes by Russell Grant ARIES
LEO
March 21st - April 20th
24th - August 23rd
August gets off to a romantic start on the 1st, when the New Moon puts you on the path to love. If you're single, you will meet someone special at a religious, cultural or educational event. Keep your ears open for someone with an attractive accent. On the 15th, the Full Moon will put strain on your social circle.
On the 1st, the New Moon will prompt you to change your image in a dramatic way. Take this opportunity to update your hairstyle, overhaul your wardrobe and go for a whole new look. A second New Moon on the 30th attracts a fantastic moneymaking opportunity. Being able to work overseas will be a welcome change of pace.
SAGITTARIUS November 23rd - Dec 21st The New Moon on the 1st urges you to venture off the beaten path. Being adventurous, enterprising, travelling overseas or enrolling in university are among the possibilities. A second New Moon will rise on the 30th, attracting an important career opportunity. Working with luxury goods will be highly profitable for you.
TAURUS
VIRGO
CAPRICORN
April 21st - May 21st
August 24th - Sept 23rd
December 22nd - Jan 20th
The New Moon on the 1st invites you to improve your domestic situation. If you've been looking for a place to live, this is the best time of the entire year to find one. Your career will require your attention on the 15th, due to an anxious Full Moon. It's possible your boss will quit unexpectedly, causing more responsibilities to be heaped onto your plate.
The opening days of August invite you to kick back and relax. That's because a restful New Moon rises on the 1st. Take this opportunity to go on vacation or retreat to a tranquil place where you can hear yourself think. By the time the second New Moon rises on the 30th, you'll be in top form. Your enhanced good looks and natural charm will attract exciting opportunities.
A passionate romance will make the opening days of August a time to remember. If you're single, you will meet someone special at a sporting or entertainment venue. On the 15th, the Full Moon will force you to make an ethical decision. It may be necessary to leave a job where you are being pressured to do underhanded or even criminal things.
GEMINI

AQUARIUS
May 22nd - June 21st

January 21st - Feb 19th
The opening days of August promise to be very busy, thanks to an active New Moon on the 1st. Take this opportunity to run errands, catch up on correspondence and reconnect with friends. The Full Moon on the 15th will bring a disappointing legal decision. Although you'll be angered by this verdict, it's important to pick yourself up and dust yourself off.
Joining a club, team or organisation is strongly advised at the beginning of August. That's when the New Moon will put you in contact with some creative people. On the 15th, an anxious Full Moon will prompt you to take a second look at a romantic relationship. Someone you once adored could reveal themselves as selfish.
The opening days of August are ideal for getting engaged or married, thanks to the loving New Moon on the 1st. If you're already in a serious relationship, take this opportunity to lavish your partner with affection. On the 15th, the Full Moon will shed light on some embarrassing shortcomings. If someone challenges your bad behaviour, don't be defensive.

A well paid position could come your way during the opening days of August, thanks to the enriching New Moon on the 1st. Any work involving luxury goods, entertainment or gambling will significantly raise your income. On the 30th a second New Moon will inspire you to pursue a childhood dream. Stop telling yourself it's too late to achieve a lofty goal.
The New Moon on the 1st brings a lucrative career opportunity. Getting paid handsomely for a job you love is very possible. If you're happy with your current position, you could be given a promotion. Another New Moon on the 30th marks a festive party. Be sure to attend this gathering, even if you're tired. Your spirits will turn to joy as soon as you walk through door.
A fabulous job offer will arrive on or around the 1st, thanks to a supportive New Moon. Working in a creative field will bring out the best in you. There's a good chance this position will involve world travel, which perfectly suits you. On the 30th, another New Moon will mark a turning point in a close relationship. Getting engaged or married is a distinct possibility.

horses would become calm if a goat was placed in the stall beside them, so it was common for nineteenth century racing rivals to remove or ‘get’ the goat assigned to a potential winner, in order to unsettle the horse.
Over the moon? What a load of tosh! “He was yakking nineteen to the dozen, acting like he was the bee’s knees, but when I said he was talking a load of tosh he got the hump.” Foreign visitors overhearing this conversation in a British pub could be forgiven for thinking they’d landed in a parallel universe, but if you’re a native Brit, you’ll have understood it as: “He was talking very quickly, behaving as though he was somebody special, but when I criticised what he was saying he became angry.” Here in the UK we love our idioms: in fact, English is probably the most idiom-friendly language nation in the world. 7KH 2[IRUG 'LFWLRQDU\ GH¾QHV an idiom as “a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words.” Here are some great examples, together with their origins: A LOAD OF TOSH Now taken to mean “a lot of nonsense”, the expression originally indicated success for 24
London’s ‘toshers’: individuals who used to scour the city’s sewers searching for anything of value. ‘Tosh’ was actually the treasure the searchers found, but the word became a negative term to describe the unfortunate toshers themselves. BOB’S YOUR UNCLE Believed to date from the Victorian era, “Bob’s your uncle” refers to something that is easily and smoothly achieved. It is thought that the expression was a sarcastic response to the appointment of Arthur Balfour to a prominent position in government by his uncle, Robert Gascoyne-Cecil. ‘Bob’ was Prime Minister at the time. ALL GONE TO POT This saying could refer to leftover scraps being boiled up for tomorrow’s soup, but it’s more likely we owe it to the practice of iron smelting, where damaged tools or weapons would be melted down in a crucible. GETS MY GOAT It was believed that nervous

It must have been easy for the miners to make the imaginative leap between the rattling of the pumps at full steam and someone speaking rapidly. RAINING CATS AND DOGS Witches were supposed to ride out during storms in the shape of cats, while the Norse storm god Odin was attended by dogs, so there could be a pagan origin for this unlikely saying.

Supportive seats and a wellcomposed suspension setup result in a comfortable ride on long distances, while even the large 19-inch alloy wheels žWWHG WR RXU WHVW FDU GLGQÂľW seem to upset the ride too much.
UK Drive: Honda CR-V Hybrid What is it? Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CR-V SUV has become one of the best-selling SUVs around the globe, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliable, practical and well-priced. The latest CR-V has also upped the ante when it comes to style, and has adopted a bolder, USinspired look. An increased wheelbase also results in a far more practical cabin, which has a more premium feel, and there is the option of a seven-seat version on the petrol-powered model. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new? Honda has done away with its diesel-powered cars, and instead chosen to offer the CR-V with a 1.5-litre petrol engine â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and this, the Hybrid. Honda aims for two-thirds of its VDOHV E\ WR EH HOHFWULžHG LQ some way, and this CR-V Hybrid LV WKH RQO\ HOHFWULžHG QHZ +RQGD you can buy today, although the žUP KDV SURGXFHG HOHFWULžHG models in the past. The CR-V is, however, Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s žUVW HOHFWULžHG 689 DQG DLPV WR RIIHU D JRRG PL[ RI HIžFLHQF\ DQG performance. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under the bonnet? It has a 2.0-litre VTEC petrol 28
engine, which is paired to an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack to produce a total output of 181bhp and 315Nm of torque.
Honda has done away with its dieselpowered cars Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a choice of front- or four-wheel-drive, with both featuring an e-CVT automatic transmission. However, the gearbox prohibits maximum power delivery when accelerating harshly, although it remains smooth. It can accelerate from 0-60mph in 9.0 seconds and offers a top speed of 112mph, but it never feels as quick as those žJXUHV VXJJHVW The claimed 53.3mpg fuel HFRQRP\ žJXUH DOVR IHHOV D touch ambitious. Around town, it will easily match and exceed that, but on motorways and at higher speeds for longer stints, fuel economy drops below 40mpg, which is disappointing for a model that claims to be so HIžFLHQW
,WÂľV DOVR UHžQHG DW VSHHG ZLWK a limited amount of road and wind noise. In the corners thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some roll, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a worthy payoff for a comfortable family SUV â&#x20AC;&#x201C; providing buyers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting thrills. How does it look? The latest CR-V has adopted an evolutionary look to its styling. The striking front nose and overuse of chrome undoubtedly helps make it look more American, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to deny that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resulted in a bold-looking SUV. The new car is also wider and more muscular than past CR-Vs and it adopts a similar front end to the latest Civic as part of Hondaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;family faceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The CR-Vâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s angular front end makes it one of the most DHURG\QDPLFDOO\ HIžFLHQW FDUV in its class. $OO PRGHOV DOVR EHQHžW IURP D full suite of LED lights at the front and rear, which certainly help to give the CR-V plenty of presence. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it like inside? The CR-Vâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interior quality is certainly a big improvement. There are plenty of softtouch materials, as well as a clean, clutter-free layout, and wood trim. The absence of a transmission tunnel also results in a hugely spacious centre console, while a traditional gearstick is replaced by buttons.

The standard 1.5-litre CR-V has the option of seven seats, but with the room taken up by the batteries, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an option here. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 491 litres of load space to play with, while the rear seats offer plenty of legroom and headroom for adults. You also donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a transmission tunnel eating into legroom. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the spec like?

However, our high-spec SR grade car came with leather upholstery, keyless start and entry, heated front seats and ambient
compared to the standard petrol model, which is quite a chunk of money to absorb â&#x20AC;&#x201C; particularly when the running costs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly revolutionary. Prices start from ÂŁ30,130 for the Hybrid, with our test car coming in at ÂŁ34,470. This puts it in a similar ballpark to the Toyota RAV4 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the only direct hybrid rival to the CR-V.
As with Toyota, Honda should be admired for pushing ahead ZLWK LWV HOHFWULžFDWLRQ DLPV DQG abandoning diesel in its CR-V â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially as the SUV sector is still dominated by dieselpowered models.
Verdict The CR-V Hybridâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s punchy, UHOD[HG DQG UHžQHG SRZHUWUDLQ makes it the pick of Honda SUVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line-up, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ideal for town driving where the TXLHWQHVV DQG HIžFLHQF\ RI D hybrid come into their own.
But is it a few years too early? Perhaps. For long-distance HIžFLHQF\ GLHVHOV VWLOO PDNH the most sense, but for urban drivers wanting a stylish and practical SUV, the CR-V Hybrid could be ideal. James Baggott
