Neil Mynett has worked in themotor trade for the last five years fora well known main dealer. In doingso he picked up all the ‘tricks of thetrade’ which only the professionalsknow.“Why buy a brand new set of alloys,

when you can refurbish the onesyou already have at a fraction of theprice?” says Neil.“My prices start from £35 per wheel,

Inspection required before work under taken, with free quotesand no obligation.Why pay high bills when returning your lease or a mobility car

with damaged alloys, its a lot cheaper to have them repairedbefore handing the vehicles back, plus you would pay no VAT.Neil’s is a fully mobile service where he can work at your home orplace of work (access to electricity is required).

Or he offers a ‘pick up and drop off service’, where your alloys can be removed and taken away and returned and replaced back onthe vehicle by 5pm the same day. This service is free of charge.“I came from a family run business in the motor trade as well as carrying out my training at Fleets Ahead, alloy wheel refurbishment

The starting point for any home redecoration project is toidentify which room is a priority for you.

It may be that you have never got round to making yourbathroom a place to unwind but yet that is exactly whatyou enjoying doing! It is often after a project is completed that many people

realise how much their room was ‘under-achieving’ before,not giving full value to the cost of running their home.

After all most people are paying each month to live in theirhome so it makes sense to make the most of the place that you live

on these grounds alone.Once you know which room really requires attention then it’s time to do

the enjoyable bit - look at colour schemes, maybe try something you haven’tbefore - go on, it’s often very surprising what positive effects can be hadfrom a distinct colour change on mood and general happiness.

Rooms that start to look a little‘tired and dull’ are often those thathave been left too long. Coloursdo fade over time despite the bestefforts of paint technologists andthe latest wallpapers.

No decor is a permanent fixtureand this gives us opportunitiesto renew and reinvigorate ourliving space. Window areas not only offer

options to add easily changeableornaments but are an obvious source of light and

that means we can colour, to a certain extent,the tint of light falling into the room.

If you have wooden windows then these canbe painted in warmer colour which aids the useof light in counteracting the traditional British‘blue light’. Further, if you track down window

film suppliers, these high clarity glass film sheetscan be used to reduce heat and glare, give privacy,

add security, and reduce the effects of fading byfiltering UV rays. In addition they can reduce heat loss

through your glass as well as adding a warm tint.Add in to this a pair of stylish curtains or a warm coloured blind

and you have the recipe for a much warmer room in every sense!You do need to take into account the function of the room - whether a

bedroom, kitchen or dining room - the shape or style of the window plus thecolour and design of other furnishings in the room, and of course budget.

Those wishing to change their colour scheme are oftenslightly scared of doing so - in case they make a mess ofthings! However, if you stick to basic principles youcannot go wrong. For instance, if you are going to use darker colours (even

if they are intense in hue) then consider upping theamount of light you will put in the room - maybe usingthe latest energy saving spotlights or uplighters.

If you squint your eyes and look at a room you can seethe tones (lightness to darkness) rather than the colours -this helps to accesswhere your room isnow.Take some advice from

the colourists at themain paintmanufacturers as theywant you to succeed inusing their productsafter all.

It is also possible touse a balance ofintense colours withlighter, less intensecolours to maximiselight whilst retaininginterest.Tip: try small tests on

white cardboard first.

Get cosy at home with bargain buys that willturn the heat up in your rooms withoutaffecting the bills. Like the seasons - roomshave their own seasonal ‘feel’. This can varydepending on location i.e whether the roomis south facing, north facing or somewhere in-between.It is this factor that often sets the basic tone

of how a room may be treated when it comesto decor and the all important lighting.

Because here in the UK we are in a quitenortherly latitude we have tendency towardsblue light - it’s the effect that the atmospherehas on the sun’s light as it filters through to ushere in Northern Europe.

It’s a natural tendency for us humans to wantto feel warm and the way that colours andlight quality affects this to have apsychological impact upon us.

Making your room feel comforting startswith knowing how to use colour and texture.Warm colours include reds (even quite deeprustic reds), yellows, and orange tints.

Throws and cushions can be picked up inone of the many offers in shops and alsosecond hand. Used cushion covers can bedyed a new and richer colour. Material shopscan provide inexpensive roll ends for throws,with an edge being stitched by a seamstressvery easily - use your imagination and try thedye! It’s fun and rewarding to have a hand inpart making something yourself - and theresults can be highly professional.

Recall the hues of Autumn foliage and thewelcoming flames in a fireplace. These coloursmake a room feel cheerful and inviting,adding to a natural sense of being shelteredand cosseted.

Rethink the room layout. For instance youmay be able to get a new chimney installedagainst an outside wall (using the appropriatetype of pipe) which then lets you use a smallwood burning stove, maybe in a corner - idealfor special occasions or those lovely cosymoments on a damp day!

Use colours to generate the feel you want -red in the dining room for instance, (studies

show it can unconsciously spark appetitesand conversation.A large bowl of colourful pot pourri can add

texture and a range of colours to suit yourroom at any time of the year.If you are scouring second hand shops -

a good place to look - be prepared by havinga list of what you're looking for and anyrelevant dimensions, such as exactly howmuch space you have for a framed mirror overyour mantel - don’t forget a tape measure!To match colours or styles, bring swatches or

photos. Look for those little but inexpensiveitems that just need a little clean up to reallyadd character to a room - you’ll soon adoptthem as your own!

As a company we are com-mitted to saving energyand the environment. Withthis in mind we havecarefully put together anumber of measures that

will either produce electricityor save electricity.

By changing your existing fluorescent fittings to LED, all with very littledisruption, you can enjoy high quality lighting without the fear of large bills. The voltage optimization works well domestically and commercially. When

using lighting and appliances ie: fridges, in the case of convenience shopsyou have a number of fridge units and lighting on between 12-16 hours perday. Small changes could potentially save hundreds of pounds per year.SOLAR PVSolar pv or Photovoltaic panels produce electricity for your home or business.A typical 4 Kw system facing south will produce approximately 3,400 unitsor Kwh of electricity per year with the feed in tariff and savings you will earn/save over £1,000 per year this is index linked and householders this is taxfree as well. Great investment .If we include the expected rise in electricityand the index rise this could make a return on investment of 28% annualisedover 25 years.LED LightingLED lighting has taken the industry by storm if you were to change 1 LEDfluorescent fitting or tube the savings are around 70% If a small shop running10 light fittings with 4x2’ tubes in each we could save you over £250 per yearand with electricity prices rising this saving will keep rising and with an LEDfitting running 10 hours per day 365 days per year should last over 10 years.Electric radiatorsWe are Farho electric radiator approved installers. These radiators are energy

efficient with a saving of up to 30%. We can give a cost of running on anannual basis this is carried out with a heating survey all free of charge theyare a great replacement for storage heaters, and even better for conventionalelectric heating. All this and a 10 year guarantee on the appliance and noleaking as with traditional water filled piped heating system.Voltage optimizationThe incoming voltage into your property is around 240v but the equipmentworks at an optimal voltage of 220v so the over voltage dissipates as heator vibration. A simple to install voltage optimization devise regulates thevoltage to around 220 volts, reducing the electricity wasted. Savings of upto 17% and a payback of 2-3 years.Our core business is trying to lower our customers energy bills at a timewhen the price of fuel is going up, all of these products are long lasting so asmall investment will reap rewards over the coming years.

Ever popular, styles which evolve out ofthemes based on the beach and ‘by the sea’are a calming oasis in our busy city lives.Even if we live miles from the sea it is the

essence of the magic and romance associatedwith all things marine that we often wish to

capture. Is it any surprise when so many of ushave wonderful childhood memories of running

barefoot on the sand and playing games against abackdrop of the open seascape.

It is really quite easy to integrate the textures and coloursthat we know from a coastal area and recreate that feel directly around ourhome - both inside and out.

By keeping styles simple and clean you can already start to emulate thepretty and alluring scenes present in any beach themed room.

The wealth of calming colours that characterise thecoastal landscape are those we should seek out as basehues to work from - opt for a coastal palette with aquablues, sea greens and oyster greys which are ideal for awatery look.

Balance these with some neutrals in shades of sand andshell which resonate with the weather worn colours of theseashore.

A secondary advantage of this type of theme is that wallspainted in pale shades help make your spaces seembigger and brighter, which is also a welcome calminginfluence.

Add in a few accessories here and there - large smoothedrocks, aged pieces of interesting wood - maybe nowturned grey, a characterful sign - why not create oneyourself? Sisal rope is readily available from DIY outlets touse for hanging items up with - use large and visuallyinteresting knots to add to the shapes you use it with.

Drama and further interest can be added with a bolt ofbrilliant colour - scarlet, yellow and turquoise are alleffective, whether inside or out. Go on - life’s a beach!

Even though we should now be basking in the heatof the British Summer it is actually a rather good

time to prepare for the next Winter to come!Given that we take our heating systems for

granted it is surprising that many over look thefact that they may be missing out on some

significant savings whilst improving the comfort oftheir homes.

An example of this is the ‘old boiler’ syndrome. Manyowners of older type boilers seem slightly wary (or even afraid!) of changingtheir ‘old but reliable’ boiler to one that is far more efficient (as in it uses far lessgas to provide the same heat output!) than their forerunners.

Modern combi condensing gas boilers are much more reliable than the earlymodels some ten or more years ago - and the market leaders offer after marketcare for peace of mind. Consult your gas fitter to get some advice on these as agood gas fitter knows these products very well as part of their job. There are alsosometimes grants for fitting a new boiler so check these out on the governmentwebsite. Don’t forget to have your thermostats checked out - if you still use aroom stat you can save by having stats on each individual radiator - each roomsets it’s own temperature - a comfortable home both upstairs and down results.

Radiators have been re-born and have escaped the rather utilitarian look wehave come to accept as the norm. Cool looking designer types are easilyavailable and affordable ging a swish look to any room.

Electric fires have come on in leaps and bounds as technology has progressedrapidly over recent years and now produces flame effects such as LED and LCDthat rival gas and real fires - great for spaces where a gas fire is unwanted or notpractical so check out the latest at your fire and stove outlet.

Stoves offer more than 80% heat efficiency, making them a green choice withthe heat being contained and not being lost up a chimney as in an open fire.Most need a flue, so install in a fireplace or against an outer wall - really not adifficult option - ask for advice and see if you can get some of the lovelycharacter that a stove brings to a home. The benefit is that you can use them asa ‘recreational’ heat source alongside your gas central heating. They can burnwood or coal, which allows for the fun of lighting up on a damp and grey Britishday to liven up your room!

Inspiration so often falls outside of our normal everydayliving and the concept of something rustic and French is a

deeply appealing one so why not look for those accessories whichconjure up that timeless sense of what it means to live in one of the world’s mostbeautiful countries?

A French country home often portrays a mood and style that emphasises familylife and a relaxed living.

From large farmhouse tables, ladder back chairs to grand armoires, a mix of oldwith the new is the way to get the French feel in a home here in Britain.

Large comfortablesofas with a modernand chic design thatare perfect forlounging onalongside softer andwell used traditionalpieces - a distinctivecontrast that seemsto naturally worktogether.

The colours andgeneral tone to yourFrench home shouldbe muted soft shades.If you are going touse white walls,soften them with ahint of umber, grey orother earthy tint. Look at the natural

light in your room – isit east and northfacing? Warm up thelight with careful useof colour. South

facing rooms can enjoy cooler tones as they will catch the sun at some pointduring the day, but don’t forget to add a dash of colour to prevent any drabnesscreeping in.

Decor wise, the choice of materials allows for lots of second hand bargains - castiron, wood, cut-glass and crystal all have their place here.

Old French demijohns in coloured glass are an ideal way to let the light filterthrough with a delightful play of texture and colour. Zinc pails (buckets) againrecreating a more rural feel and with those characteristic soft tones or a wire fruitcollecting basket creates pattern and a delicate use of line. Those careworn oval wine tables are another way to remind us of a relaxed

evening enjoying a fruity red wine - perfect in a covered outside area or aconservatory.

Reveal your more passionate side and try a little French Joie de vivre in yourredecoration project this year!

Having guests to stay over? While entertaining family andfriends staying over may be fun - not to mention exhausting- it also puts your home under a revealing spotlight.

Those extra people and their possessions put pressure onstorage and space, with any shortcomings and limitationssuddenly becoming all too clear.We all like to impress our friends or family at least to some

degree by making them feel comfortable in our homewhenever they stay, so how do we go about this whilstcreating the facility within our existing living space?

Here are some top tips;• Making your spare room as nice as possible is a sure fireway to impress your guests – after all, it’s where they

are going to sleep! • Use light colours for a more spacious feel in a small room• Folding beds, bed settees (which can be used at anytime), or the latest high quality inflatablemattresses can all really make the difference to the comfort of your guests.• If the floor is not carpeted consider a rug to put down to make it feel more homely• A small and stylish ‘bedside’ light is always welcome - even in the smallest of rooms.• Look above your head for storage space: are you using all the room available so that valuablefloorspace is freed up?• Try to plan in advance and catch the sales for great offers on what you need• Don’t be afraid of some strong colours to highlight and jazz up the room - have a bit of fun!

Play is serious stuff! Let’s not forget thatkids live in a slightly different ‘world’ toours - one which is rich in imaginings of allsorts of creations and games. We shouldseek to nourish that, but also at the sametime ensure their comfort and safety ofcourse.Here are a few tips for a childrens roomor play area:Tone it down with neutral colours: Kids stilllike colours, but you do not have to gocrazy with it. You can use the same neutralcolours you would find in the rest of thehome, and add strong patches of colour inyour accessories, maybe painted canvases.

Organise cupboards with internaldividers and kit out with shelves - see howyour room gets easier to tidy with just thisbasic tactic. Child height cupboards canbe turned into ‘mini play areas’ withinthemselves - allowing for imaginative playin a setting that they can adjust constantly.

Cheap fabrics can be had from outletswhich gives kids plenty to go at when making indoor tents under tables or chairs -get a few child friendly grippers so they can tack the cloth onto objects themselvesand learn as they play!

Look at what your child likes - there’s always a clue somewhere from a dinosaurtheme to space or a princess theme to wildlife! Kids are very sensitive to theirsurroundings though so do be careful of strong images which can cause sleepdisturbance in some cases. Again, by shopping around at the right time you canreally win big in the sales and get hold of items that maybe were out of your budgetat ful price but which really work in your child’s room or play area.

Get to look at your child’s room from their height - crouch or kneel down - see wherethings fall and how you can make the room work for them - after all you have your ownroom to go to!

With its association and connection to all things aqua, the bathroom is anideal place to relax and unwind. No matter the size of your room, it’s a caseof creating the atmosphere that you need to chillout in. First port of call is the window: if over bright

light is your problem then get a good roller blindwith light blocking layers in it, or a metal louvreblind also does the trick. It makes all thedifference in enabling you to control and lowerthe light levels on a hot and bright earlysummers evening - just when you need to refreshafter work!Once you get control over the daylight you canlight candles, use low voltage up-lighters- theoptions are so many, with even new batterypowered led lights which are free standing andgive off a soft glow without having to fit mains power - quickerand easier!

Choose nice woodenaccessories along with stoneitems which please the eyeand suggest reassurance andrestfulness.

Of course, a full refit reallyopens up the options - andthen it may well be worththinking of where you wantlighting so that low voltagecan be installed before anytiling etc.The range of affordable

designer suites available todaygives even those on a budgetthe opportunity to have areally stunning bathroom - go wet & wild and make sure you add style aswell as functionality to your favourite room!

For those with busy livesit may well be that you opt

for a low maintenance and lowcost garden design. Landscape gardening services can tailortheir design to meet your needs.

Use common sense when considering your garden - howmuch time can you spend on pruning, watering, andfertilising? All of these factors come into play when you redesign the

whole or even just part of your garden. Here are some pointersto a better garden this summer and beyond.

Keep weeds down the easy wayBlack landscape fabric rolled the over the soil will keep weeds

in control, maintain heat during cooler weather, and willenable the water to soak to the roots more efficiently.Available from most garden outlets by the metre, this fabulousfabric can be staked down to hold it in place very easily - noreal skill involved here.

Prepare for your plants• Look at your overall planting area and keep in mind thatplants will spread out. Base the entire measurement as yourneeds for plant coverage.

• Look to plant Perennials which come up each year or areyear round if evergreen.

• Break up any compressed soil and remove any weeds - enrichthe soil with peat moss and composted manure into the soil as

necessary.

• Lay out the landscape fabricand secure the corners usingmetal stakes then take thetime to enjoy drawing a layoutof paths or other features ontothe material with chalk. Cutout the pattern you havedrawn to create holes. That iswhere you will place yourevergreens, seeds or plants,into each of the holes. You canalso cut out where you maydig down to create a well for a water feature if required.

• Space the plants you buy according to the suggestions on thelabels. Then fill in and cover bare soil entirely with mulch(compost/dead leaves etc - this can be bought from garden outlets).

• Make your life even easier and use time-release fertiliser - it is goingto continuously feed your plants for longer periods of time.Perennials do need feeding to sustain each year’s growth.

By looking at your garden with practical eyes you can have abeautiful space to enjoy rather than struggling to maintain. The‘hobby’ side of your gardening activities can then be controlled to alevel that you are comfortable with.

That is the essence of good garden design - the basic concept andtype. If you are a person with the requirement for a low intensity andeasy access (maybe for older gardeners) then raised beds are a goodexample of this adaptation which allows for enjoyment without somuch back breaking bending!

Then you can design larger areas with materials that need no day today maintenance such as pebbles, cobbles, paving or stone. Ofcourse you can also opt for the ideas given earlier - with larger areasbeing less expensive to cover with weed control fabric & decoratewith perennials and a judicious use of slate chips or wood barkaround the bases of plants.

More garden ideas and tips:

Locate where you spend the majority of your time in thegarden: most people spend approximately eighty percent oftheir time in about twenty percent of their garden! This meansthat you can concentrate your resources where it is mostneeded rather than use a ‘scatter gun’ approach.This basic concept may not always apply if you have a small

or modest garden where every inch seems to count. Here weuse a different approach to meet your needs. In designing asmall garden we need a space to loosen up - which can bequite modest.

Identify roughly four square metres where you can install araised bed of earth and lay some turf. This can be the areawhere you can have a small table and chair for chilling out,chatting to friends etc, all the while you are surrounding bygreenery in your eye view which is a calming influence.

Site planting boxes along the perimeter of your garden -

preferably ones with adecorative touch suchas wooden or those prettysoft zinc looking ones - to add a dashof controlled colour to your seating area.

If you can the create strong wall shelves to place larger pots& small tubs in with shrubs in, these will create texture all yearround and a sense of ‘intimacy’ within a natural environment. Vertical planting is most useful - Sweet Peas being the

obvious candidate and can be planted to grow up easilyerected cane structures or wall trellis.

In terms of garden furniture, if you are on a tight budget youcan get the cheapest chair made of plastic and cover it with abright fabric, or make it a bit more comfortable with a tiedcushion on the back and the seat. Simple and effective!Bargain hunters may wish to seek out theoffers which come up on the rathernice aluminium café type chairs- robust and will mostprobably last many years.What about a small

metal fire pit? Theseform a warming focusand heat source for acooler summerevening - or even inthe autumn and arenow much moreaffordable than fewyears ago if you shopround.

The children of Sawley Primary School had great fun wearingan assortment of hats as part of a non-uniform day in aid ofthe homeless of the area. Organised to help the Canaan Trust,which has been serving the needs of the homeless locally since1995, each child brought in and wore one of their favouritehats - woolly hats, funny hats, sun hats, sports hats indeed anyform of hat.

The hats were the main element of a 'non-uniform day' and the children made individual personal donations to help the Canaan Trust fund itswork on behalf of the homeless of the area.

As part of the occasion the children meet Freddie, the Canaan Trust's homeless frog mascot - he is homeless because he does not have a pad ofhis own. Freddie, one of the Trust's young homeless residents, was able to talk to the children about what it is like to be homeless and to answertheir often searching questions.The event was part of a new campaign which the Canaan Trust has launched seeking the assistance and engagement of local primary and

senior schools in helping to raise awareness of the reality of homelessness in our local communities and also raising funds to assist the Trust inits work with our often young homeless. Kevin Curtis, Project Manager at the Canaan Trust, said, 'The Trust has residents who are school age so itis great that young school children engage with our awareness campaign and help us support those young people who have become homelessfor reasons beyond their control'.

Any school which would like to have a visit from Freddie, the Homeless frog and to introduce the topic of 'Homelessness' to their pupils can simply contact the Canaan Trust
