The New Year is here and along

with it comes the New Year’s diet

resolution. If you are planning

on losing weight this New Year,

why not give LighterLife a try? At

LighterLife we are so much more

than just a diet. We offer you the

opportunity to lose weight fast and

to make the behavioural and lifestyle

changes so that you maintain a

healthy weight now and in the long

term.

At LighterLife our weekly, single-

sex group meetings are designed

to help you explore some of the

reasons you have put on weight –

because there’s usually a lot more

to it than simply ‘eating too much’.

Understanding why you overeat,

learning new ways to think and

behave, leaving unhelpful habits and

behaviours behind you will all lead

you to live lighter in the future. In

addition to this, with LighterLife

you also have the support of a

LighterLife Weight-Management

Counsellor who will be there from

the start of the programme and

continue to support you in your

weight-management for as long as

you need them to.

Katrina Bates LighterLife Weight-

Management Counsellor for Bury

St Edmunds says: “At LighterLife

people benefit from fast, simple, safe

and sustainable weight-loss and I am

there to help them understand their

relationship with food and make

changes to the way they eat, think

and live.”

Now you have had enough of

dieting and are ready to make a

real and lasting change in your

relationship with food , contact

Katrina on 01284 754932 or visit

Male, female, young or old. Whether you

want to lose a little bit of weight or a lot or

even if you just want some regular exercise….

Rosemary Conley classes’ suit everyone and

our instructors are qualified to help YOU

to lose weight and keep it off.

Come along wearing something

comfortable and trainer type shoes.

Bring a drink and a hand towel/exercise

mat and learn about Rosemary’s Amazing

Inch Loss plan with the revolutionary

“Rosemary Conley Portion Pots”.

(The diet books, portion pots, motivational

DVD and magic measure are all free if you

pay for 5 classes £5.80 x 5 = £29).

“Underestimating the amount we eat is one

of the main reasons why we’re not successful

with our weight loss”, says Jo Butcher,

instructor who has lost 5 stone herself.

“By using these innovative Portion Pots we

really can not go wrong.”

The diet is simple to follow, gives faster

weight loss results and it is healthier than

ever before. Our classes offer motivation,

inspiration, privacy at the scales, lots of

support and fun aerobic workouts!

Come along and see for yourself this

January at a class near you.

Jo Butcher joined classes in Bury in January

2007. She was a size 22 with very low self

esteem. Now she is a remarkable size 10

and having tried all diets in the past she

wishes she had tried Rosemary Conley

classes sooner. Jo used to hate exercise and

would do everything she could to avoid it,

now she understands how regular exercise

releases her happy hormones and helps

her to burn fat and feel terrific. Life for Jo

is great, she looks fantastic, she’s got her

confidence back and now Jo would like to

help you do the same!

Make 2011 the year that you achieve your personal goals.

It does not matter what shape, size or level

of fitness you are at the moment.

“This year I’m going to be less stressed/calmer/lose weight/be healthier/have more energy” etc etc etc .....sound familiar?But actually why is it that in January we decide to try and change ourselves completely?Change is the thing that is most constant in all of our lives every single moment of every single day and it is how we adapt and modify ourselves to fit into our changing environment, relationships, jobs, lifestyles etc that makes us who we are.Perhaps it is the fact that we get to take time out from work, get off our hamster wheel and take a long hard look at what our lives are all about and what is important to us, that makes us want to focus more on change in January when we have to get back on that hamster wheel?We also lounge about more on the sofa, consume much more rich food and drink and more alcohol than our sensitive bodies are used to and often end up feeling lethargic, tired and not at ease with ourselves, our health and wellbeing can suffer as a result of this.For me there are a few key things to focus on with regards to health and wellbeing at all times of the year, not just in January! Health is our greatest wealth all the year around!

Eat wellEverything we eat has a physical effect on our body, the less processed and packaged food we eat and the more fresh unadulterated food we eat, the more energy we have and the better our bodies function – just ask any top athlete what they eat. Food is the most

important thing we can give ourselves to make us healthy. The misconception that fresh food is more expensive is rubbish – I know for example I can make a pot of soup that lasts my whole family a week for less than it costs me to buy a carton of it from the supermarket ( even if it is BoGoF! ) Yes it might take me 10 mins to chop the vegetables up and throw them in the pan and then 5 mins to wazz it with the blender after its cooked for 45 mins but the health and nutrient value of it makes up for that without even thinking about the money I have saved. Top 10 Detox foods are: Apples. Avocado, Artichokes, Beetroot, Cruciferous Veg (cabbage, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, sprouts etc), Garlic, kiwi Fruit, Prunes, Seaweed, Watercress.

Move everydayIf you don’t move around and allow your muscles and joints to open up to their full range of movement you will get extremely stiff and suffer from back pain, hip problems, shoulder tension, neck strain, headaches and lack of energy – this is a fact! Your body is designed to move freely and easily – just watch children and look at their energy and flexibility – we were all like that once and we are just victims of our lifestyles. If you have a job that requires you to sit for long periods driving or on a computer – you MUST do something to counteract that – you must stretch! If you stand for long periods all day you must understand how to stand correctly and utilise your back and stomach muscles to improve your posture and then your energy levels and prevent gravity forcing you

This month we look at the ever popular theme of

“New Year = New You”to become rounded and stooped. If you don’t stretch and also maintain the strength of your muscles and bones/joints you will gradually start to discover that the energy of your body stagnates and you get tighter and stiffer and listless and tired. If you are unable to come along and try an 8 week Yoga, Pilates or Tai Chi Introductory Programme then try the following at home to get you started!• Stand comfortably (holding onto the wall if necessary) and start to circle your ankles and point/ flex your feet. • Rotate your knee joints in a circle – move the lower legs in a circle to do this• Now try to draw a really large circle with your knee to rotate and open your hip joints – remember they are a ball and socket joint and as such will get stiff and tight if we only sit on chairs and walk/run. If we squatted we would have much looser and freer hips! • Do some gentle forward bends to stretch your hamstrings and lower back, just be patient if you can’t reach the floor – that will come in time! • Come up slowly and catch one foot behind you and bring your heel to your bottom to stretch out the front of your thighs.• Stand tall – breathe in and raise your arms above your head and breathing out gently lean to one side to stretch out your waist – repeat on the other side. • Take your arms wide and swing them from side to side looking around behind you to twist and open the spine and start to release the neck. • Take your arms behind you and link your fingers together with your palms facing up and then do that gentle forward bend again bringing your arms up and over towards the floor ( now you know how tight the front of your shoulders are because you have your arms in front of you all day long!).

This month we look at the ever popular theme of

“Bend & Blend”A combination of dietary tips, mind/body exercises and latest research blended together to promote health & vitality.By Carole Baker Director, The Self Centre

health&beauty

themhd 13

• Stand up slowly stopping half way to let the blood come down gradually from your brain (really refreshes you when you take your head below your heart!)• Swing your arms backwards and forward like windmill sales – remember your shoulder is also a ball and socket joint and needs rotating. • Finally stand tall and press your chin to your chest to stretch out the back of your neck – slowly turn your head from side to side to look at your shoulder. Release your neck back up and then gently take your head back to look up at the sky (not something we do very often and then we wonder why are necks are stiff?) Return to normal and gently turn your head from side to side to release any tension in the side of the neck and top of the shoulders. • Last but not least – stretch your wrists and hands out – rotate your wrists, press your palms together, take your thumbs to your wrists release then open fingers wide as you can and then make a tight fist.

Choose how to reactEveryday we are faced with change

and it is how we react to that change that makes us who we are. We can choose to rant and rage but it won’t affect the situation, it will just make us feel worse, we can also choose to smile and accept that everything happens for a reason and that we will eventually see the bigger picture behind that change. If we embrace change as a positive thing we will then flow with it and grow and develop our own potential and learn from every situation we are in and relationship we have.You are what you think you are. You are what you visualise you want to be – try this and you just might discover what many people have known for centuries and scientists are just reaffirming and proving now “ the power of visualisation, the subconscious mind and positive thinking is absolutely phenomenal and we are just beginning to see incredible it’s effects on health and wellbeing”. Join a Meditation class or try a workshop. Thing positive thoughts –

did you know your “Self Esteem” is only 2 weeks old? Its like a battery that constantly needs recharging – you MUST top it up with positive thoughts and affirmations to counteract all the negativity and nagging moaning people in the world around you! Give yourself a pat on the back everyday for the good things you have done – there’s a start!

For a Free Intro to Yoga, Pilates or Tai Chi (one session worth £9.50) please bring this article along to the self centre and book in at reception. one session per person please – book in advance only where spaces available – cancellations within 8 hours or a payment will be charged.

Prep time: 10 minCook time: 15 minServes:4

Method1. Gently fry the leek in half the butter, stirring occasionally, until softened. Set aside.

2. Steam the mussels in a pan with a splash of water, until the shells open. Discard any that do not open. Remove the mussel flesh from their shells. Set aside.

3. Cut the salmon, haddock, cod and smoked haddock into 3cm chunks and put into a large pan along with the scallops. Cover with milk, bring to a simmer and poach for 6-7 minutes. Drain the fish, reserving the milk for the sauce.

4. Heat the remaining butter in a clean pan and stir in the flour. Cook, stirring for a couple of minutes, then start to add the warm poaching milk. Season with salt and pepper and cook until thickened to the consistency of double cream. Remove from the heat and stir in the leeks and most of the parsley.

5. Put the chunks of fish in a grill-proof pie dish and add the steamed mussels and prawns. Pour over the warm sauce.

6. Spread the prepared mashed potato on top of the pie and grate over the parmesan. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped parsley.

7. Put the pie under a hot grill until the top is crisp and golden and the cheese has melted.

Great with new potatoes and sweetcorn!

The middle of winter is not The middle of winter is not normally the time when we normally the time when we think about frogs and toads; think about frogs and toads; after all they are hibernating after all they are hibernating somewhere out of the frosts. somewhere out of the frosts. Some may hibernate under your

garden shed, down a hole, under

a pile of logs in your garden, in

a compost heap, and some male

frogs will actually hibernate in

mud at the bottom of a pond.

It’s a high risk, high gain strategy

to hibernate in a pond. It means

that the male is in exactly the

right place to greet the first female

arriving in spring, improving

his chances of survival. In harsh

weather, however, such as we

experienced in December, ice

cover prevents oxygen from

entering the water and frogs

might die; if you find dead frogs

in your pond at the end of winter

that is probably the reason.

You can help by keeping your

pond ice-free, such as floating

a plastic football in the pond at

night and removing it during the

day, or by floating a bucket of hot

water in your pond.

Many households could gain

great pleasure in watching their

frogs come back year after year.

Watching tadpoles change into

frogs are also a classic educational

experience for children. Ponds

are relatively easy to create, can

last a lifetime, and will quickly

be colonised by frogs even in the

depths of our housing estates or

industrial areas. Now is the time

to plan a new pond, to be ready

for March when frogs again

appear and look for new places

to spawn. If you would like to

make a frog pond, there’ll be

some tips next month.

HARD-working fundraisers and owners of a Bury St Edmunds clothes store have handed over more than £4,000 to St Nicholas Hospice Care.

Javelin, in Abbeygate Street, raised the impressive sum after a month-long fund-raising project called ‘work hard, play hard’.

As part of the campaign, shoppers were encouraged to buy ‘bricks’, costing £5 each, for a wall of fame in its window, businesses were invited to buy corporate breeze blocks, costing £100 each, while a ‘Faces of Javelin’ competition was also launched.

Jeremy Clayton, Javelin owner, said: “In October, we made a promise to the Hospice. We promised to work hard for 28 days and raise as much money as we could. “We are delighted with the response we received to our two special walls, with both local businesses and the local community getting on board with this great fundraising initiative.”

On Thursday evening, Jeremy presented the cheque, for £4,057.40for £4,057.40for , to Hospice Corporate Fundraiser Abby Mayes. Abby said: “We are, of course, overjoyed with the success of this month-long fundraising by Javelin. Our sincere thanks go to everyone who supported the campaign.”

Bury St Edmunds’ arc shopping centre has scooped a prestigious ‘Gold Award’ given to outstanding retail developments by BCSC, the national retail property body, at its annual dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 1st December. Presented by Rory Bremner, arc’s Gold Award is for the best small* in-town retail development in the UK.

Richard Wise, chief executive of Centros, said: “Winning this award is the icing on the cake. It gives national recognition to all the hard work that went into achieving the success of arc. It is particularly pleasing to see that arc has created significant economic benefits throughout the town in a very short period since opening. Unlike so many other retail schemes up and down the country, we have not created too many shops, so the historic core of the town is still trading well with minimal vacancies.”

St Edmundsbury Borough Council leader Cllr John Griffiths said: “This is great news for Bury St Edmunds and West Suffolk and crowns the successful partnership between St Edmundsbury, Centros and the private sector.”

December brought the snow and Santa to us girls at the WI! Early Christmas festivities kicked off with Lee Ashford running a Bingo session for us with lovely gift vouchers as prizes. Some of us were a little perplexed initially, but we soon got the hang of it and one table seemed especially lucky – had inducements been offered ??!! Then on to the buffet with a selection of dainty bites both savoury and sweet, we had been unsure of numbers with the snow so over-catered - but somehow we managed to demolish almost all of it! The wine and cranberry juice flowed, followed by teas and coffee to send us on our way. But not before Santa arrived to distribute the presents. A person not wholly unknown to him sent him off with a kiss! Not bad for a WI meeting! Happy New Year!

Our January 5th talk is on the subject of Flotation. A relaxing experience taken in warm water saturated in pure Epsom Salts.

New members welcome! We meet the first Wednesday of every month at 7.30pm, Community Centre.

A few weeks back whilst out with

my family at a garden centre, my

21/2 yr old son was very excited by

the sight of a sledge. In fact there

were lots of sledges, a whole display

of them. I tried to explain, in a way

which he might understand that,

thanks to generations of non-stop

environmental abuse, the world’s

climate was changing in irreversible

ways. The consequence of which

being that snow here in Suffolk

(conveniently ignoring last years

anomaly) was pretty much a thing

of the past, so buying a sledge was

futile. About 4 days later it snowed.

So there it was, my first lecture in

environmental pollution and climate

change, almost instantly proven

fundamentally flawed and inaccurate,

all thanks to an unusually early

covering of the white stuff. Perhaps

those newly purchased sledges wont

be confined to life as nothing more

than expensive trip hazards in the

garage after all.

Obviously being a bloke, I could not

be seen to be wrong, so I stubbornly

resisted the urge to pop back to

the shops and buy a sledge. Besides

which, after my in-store mocking

of fellow customers merrily taking

their shiny new sledges home, I

would have to go in disguise.

However, “Look Daddy - Snow!”

my son shouted excitedly. His

observational skills are second to

none, and despite the early morning

darkness, he was quite correct, it was

indeed snowing. This enthusiasm

for the sub zero precipitation

didn’t last long. I am told that by

the time it got to him leaving the

house a couple of hours later he

was quite adamant, “I not like snow

Mummy!”. After a few days, it

became apparent that he was equally

excited every morning by the sign

of snow and that was inevitably

followed by a complete u-turn

within a couple of hours. The fickle

mind of a toddler.

Personally I am still very much a big

kid and enjoy a covering of snow,

behaving much like an overexcited

school child, huddled by the radio

waiting for the official school closure

announcements. Only difference is, I

am expected to go to work regardless.

It just means clearing the car every

morning (with the inevitable ingress

of snow onto the drivers seat to

melt five minutes into the journey)

and some pretty taxing driving

conditions. Lets just hope that, unlike

last year, this winter finishes before

Easter comes round. Courtesy of

my family car, I am ashamed to say

that I’m doing my bit to raise the

temperature by pumping several

tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere.

We’ve all heard the five-a-day message, and we all know that eating at least five portions of fruit and veg every day can work wonders for the way we look, the way we feel, and for our health in the long term. All fruit and veg are super foods to some extent. The more we eat, the healthier we’ll be.

But despite the benefits, many of us still struggle to fit the five-a-day message into busy, on-the-go lifestyles. And it’s harder still trying to get the kids to replace crisps and biscuits with apples and peas. Health messages mean precious little to the average 12-year-old, who can happily run around all day on a diet of salty snacks, fizzy drinks and fatty treats.

Still, the fact is that if you can get the kids eating five portions of fruit and veg a day now, you’re teaching them healthy habits that can last a lifetime. A diet rich in nutritious foods will make them feel full of beans right away, and help to protect them against a range of illnesses and diseases later in life. Which begs just one crucial question. How on earth do you do it?... continued overleaf

If in doubt, cheatSometimes the best option is the easiest. So go on, cheat. By which we mean, give the kids a garden full of fruit and veg without them really knowing. So instead of giving them a boring piece of fruit, zap up bananas, strawberries, blueberries, carrots and pretty much anything else into delicious, nutritious smoothies.

Instead of making them eat a portion of yukky dry carrots, disguise vegetables in hearty, warming stews or soups and tasty pasta sauces. Make sure the kids know it’s chicken stew or beef Bolognese. Emphasise the bits you know they love, and they’ll gobble up the veg without even thinking.

And according to Cancer Research, you should go with what the kids already like. If they love pizza, add vegetables to the topping. If they live on sandwiches, stick some salad in with the ham, cheese or tuna.

The NHS also recommends putting healthy snacks like dried fruit or tangerines in places where you’d normally keep biscuits or cakes. That way, hungry kids in a rush might shovel in a handful of whatever they come across first. If that’s a few sweet dried apricots, they’ll have gobbled up one portion of their daily five in the blink of an eye.

Sweet Treatskids love sweets - that’s half the problem, of course - so use it to your advantage. Choose fruits that are sweet-sized and sweet tasting, like grapes and strawberries. If your kids just won’t eat fruit on its own, mix it into their favourite jelly or chop it into cereal.

And vegetables aren’t just the ones kids tend to hate, like broccoli, cabbage and sprouts (though if you can get some a few of those into them, so much the better). Some salad and vegetable staples are naturally sweet and tend to be most popular with kids. Think about sweetcorn, peppers, cherry tomatoes and sweet potatoes.

Funnily enough, kids who hate cooked veg often like it raw, especially crunchy sweet vegetables like carrots and peppers. They’re a lot more fun than soggy greens, and they haven’t had any of their nutrients cooked away.

Lead by ExamplePerhaps the best thing you can do for your kids is eat plenty of fruit and veg yourself, and not just because you’ll feel healthy enough to take them to the park for a kick about or a bike ride. Even older kids learn from their parents, so let them see you crunching into an apple or piling your plate with greens at every opportunity.

They’ll never admit to copying you, of course, but you might find that a little mouse has been at the fruit bowl when you weren’t looking. And make sure fruit, vegetables or salad are part of every meal, preferably in several alternatives. kids love to choose - so let them choose between good things.

But don’t force them to eat everything - it might produce negative associations and lead to a lifetime of salad dodging. If they’re proving resistant to everything you put in front of them, let them choose the fruit and veg they want next time you’re in the supermarket. That way, at least they can’t say they don’t like it.

CORE STRATEGY ADOPTED FOR ST. EDMUNDSBURYAt the full council meeting on the 14 December, the Core Strategy was adopted for St. Edmundsbury. This despite representation made by the Moreton Hall Residence Association, and your ward councillors voting against the motion. What it means for Moreton Hall is that the proposed 500 homes that are to be built next to the Flying Fortress will go ahead. The Council did give us one glimmer of light and that was that No building would take place until the infrastructure was sorted out. The link road to the A14 and the rookery slip road have to be completed before building can commence. Your councillors will be keeping a very close watch on this. I would welcome any comments on this matter or any other concerns you might have.

Cold Weather Cold Weather Cold Weather As we have all witnessed over the past month or so, winter arrived with a bang. I have done some shopping for some of the elderly in my area. I would like to ask people, if you know of any elderly near you please give them a call and make sure they are alright, it only takes a moment. A bit of shopping or collecting their prescriptions will be a great help to them.

YOUTH CLUBThe Club is going from strength to strength with over 46, 8-13 year olds enjoying a safe place to meet and play. on the 4th January 11 we are going to the Theatre Royal to see Mother Goose, oH YES WE ARE. The youngsters are very excited about that. Mums and Dads will deliver them to the theatre where they will be met by our excellent helpers, who will lead them to their seats and watch over the them. While I am talking about the club I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our helpers who turn up every Tuesday night (without ear plugs) and look after our club members, thank you guys so much, without you we would not have a club. In the new year we will be looking to open two nights a week, this will mean an urgent need for more helpers, so if there is any mums or dads who would like to get involved please contact me. We need you!

Adoption of RoadsThere are many of our roads which as yet have not been adopted by the council. This means that the council can not carry out repairs of any kind. The roads come under the developers who have an obligation to ensure that they are safe and in good order.We are pushing developers to make the roads ready for adoption and the council officers are also chasing them. It’s gone, yes at last the old bus shelter on Symonds Road has be replaced by a more modern one nicely enclosed to give shelter from the rain and winds. Thanks to Steve Boor and his band of merry men.

I hope you all enjoyed a festive Christmasand wishing you a very happy and prosperous

New Year. Take care. Frankand wishing you a very happy and prosperous New Year. Take care. Frankand wishing you a very happy and prosperous

Good things about using leafmouldIt’s clean and easy to handle

It’s good for the soilIt cuts down on wateringIt can be used on any soilIt can be used at any time of year

Sources of supplyAll sorts of autumn leaves can be used to make leafmould, including plane, beech, oak and walnut. All types will rot down, though some will take longer than others.Collect fallen leaves from your garden, and from pavements and verges of quiet streets.Your local council may deliver lorry loads to allotments and other suitably accessible sites. As they have to pay landfill charges for dumping them elsewhere, there should be no charge for this. Ask for parks and cemetery leaves, rather than those from roads, which may contain unwanted contaminants.

Collecting them upLeaves can be gathered up by hand, using a lawn rake. For larger quantities, leaf hoovers are available, some of which will also shred the leaves, speeding up decay.

Compost or leafmould?Small amounts of autumn leaves can be added to your compost heap. They make a good balancing ingredient for wet and soggy materials like grass mowings and kitchen waste. Simply save dryish autumn leaves in a bag for use next season.Autumn leaves are rotted down mainly by the slow, cool action of fungi - rather than the quicker acting bacteria that are responsible for composting. This is why autumn leaves in quantity are best recycled separately in a leafmould heap.

Welcome to the Master Composter feature, where I will tell you about the joys of composting. I am a Master Composter Volunteer, which means that I have been trained by a charity called Garden Organics, in association with Suffolk County Council, and I devote my spare time to encouraging and assisting everyone to compost more. From the complete novice to the veteran composter, if you have a question about composting, then I will use this page to answer them.

BE BRAVE Most people find it hard to throw away stuff, but you can’t attach sentimental value to everything you own.When your house is cluttered, nothing looks good. So, as you go through your possessions, ask yourself which of them you actually love or use. If not, why not? Maybe it’s a wedding present you secretly hate, a dress that doesn’t suit you. Let it go.

ONE ROOM AT A TIME Flitting between rooms makes de-cluttering a much bigger task, one almost impossible to complete. So set aside a day to do one room and commit to finishing it. Stack everything that lives elsewhere into cardboard boxes to deal with later.

MAKE A MESS To clear up your home, you have to turn it into a proverbial bombsite first.The best de-cluttering method is to pull every single item from your shelves, drawers and cupboards and lay it all out so you can see exactly what everything is. This tactic works well for clearing out your wardrobe; as well as gathering rags to chuck, you’ll ‘re-find’ clothes you’d forgotten about.

GET LOGICAL When it comes to reordering your house, there are two basic rules. First, store like with like: all batteries should live in one place, so when you need a new one, you know exactly where to find it. Second, keep belongings in the room where they are used because when things migrate around the house your home becomes a black hole and you’ll never find anything. As an extension of this second rule, store things as close to the place you use them as possible: washing powder next to the washing machine, tea in the cupboard above the kettle.

How to... declutter your homeThe secret to falling in love with your own four walls is to clear out the clutter. Here are some tips for making your home a cleaner, happier place.

family&home

themhd 45

SECRET SPACES Think vertically and you solve the problem of storing things you use only occasionally, such as Christmas decorations. Stash these things in your attic and bring them down only when you need them. Going vertically again, store back-up bathroom supplies such as toilet roll and spare bottles of shampoo at the top of your linen cupboard. Holiday items, such as sarongs and ski jackets, can live in suitcases under your bed, freeing up your living space.

NOT ALL CLUTTER IS JUNK Clearing out your home needn’t turn you into a robot. We’ve all got treasured mementoes that might not look much to other people yet they mean the world to us: cinema ticket

stubs from your first date, your first Mother’s Day card, a lock of baby hair.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS It’s tempting to splash out on pretty storage boxes before you’ve started decluttering. One word: don’t. You’re better off sorting your trash from your treasure and then assessing what storage solutions you need.

TRAIN YOUR CHILDREN Children can behave like Tasmanian Devils, charging around the house, trailing clutter wherever they go. To encourage youngsters to develop good habits, make sure you have something in which they can stash their toys. A few big, lidded containers are easier to manage than lots of little ones that can overspill.

GET RID, FEEL GOOD For the sake of your mental health, don’t add up the cost of the money you’ve wasted. Instead, focus on how decluttering makes you feel good: offer things for free or donate items in good condition to your local charity shop. As a reward for all your hard work, make money selling the best of your unwanted goods on eBay.

RELAX Without clutter clogging up your home, you’ll find it is much, much easier to relax. It’s even a pleasure to clean and decorate because you’re not staring mess in the face every day!

Be warned: As you come to love your new clean home, you may never want to leave the house!.

Well, this year certainly went by fast! If you have a small business and are wondering where the time went, you aren’t alone.

Resolve to make 2011 your best year yet. And we’re here to help with some hot ideas that will help you to kick-start your new year and get your small business the attention it deserves!

Get a ThemeIf you have a retail or online shop, try implementing a theme in your business. These days, everyone is selling something, so you need to find a way to make your products and services stand out and get noticed.

If you’re selling hats, you could try implementing a movie-star theme. If you sell video games, try grouping games with similar themes together and advertise them to your target market.

The idea is to differentiate your products from the thousands of others on the market.

Advertise on the ‘NetIf you are a small traditional business, and have not yet advertised on the Internet, the coming year is the right time to get started.

It is inexpensive to advertise on the ‘Net, it does not take much time, and your company description can be displayed quite creatively in cyberspace. This way, potential customers coming to your store through the search engines already have a good idea about your company background and your products.

You should also start to build an email database of your customers, so that you can send them information about new products or discounts. Take the time to create a good brochure that you can post on your website for your customers to browse or download.

Introduce Background MusicIf your small business has a physical location, install

a decent sound system and play soft and pleasing music at a low volume in the background. It should fit into the scheme of your store and should not interfere when making conversation with your customers.

Introduce New ServicesAlong with your products, you could introduce new complementary services to attract more customers. For example, if you have an auto parts shop, offer customers a free car wash while they shop around in your store. likewise, if you have an online store and sell greeting cards, try selling flower bouquets, balloons or other gift products.

You might find that customers spend more time in your store or on your website shopping - and may also spend more money while they are there.

Publicly Acknowledge CustomersIf you have regular customers or customers that spend more money than others, then arrange to have them publicly acknowledged. This will increase your bond with your VIP clients, and make them feel appreciated.

In addition, they will feel good about their long association with your business and are more likely to continue it.

Make a Business New Year’s ResolutionMake a business resolution which could be something that you thought about, but didn’t put into action previously.

This could be anything from introducing a new product line, to finding more affordable suppliers.

Start the New Year with a Good DeedTo be successful, you have to give back to the community. Try hosting a toy drive for less fortunate children, or donate your time (and that of your employees) to the local soup kitchen.

If you have a retail store, donate old, unused or dead stock to people who might need it. This will help clear your store of unwanted merchandise, and you’ll be doing the community a service at the same time.

This is the time to start thinking about ways to make 2011 more successful.

After a minimum of three years, you should start thinking about servicing your car yearly. All new cars come with 3 years warranty when they are first purchased but the chances of anything going wrong is very slim during that period of time. Guidelines for all vehicles vary, so read the handbook that comes with your vehicle to check when you should service your car. Some car manufacturers advise you to service the car when you reach X amount of miles, however if you are a heavy user and drive more than the average 10,000 miles a year, then you may need to service earlier and more often.

Why You Should Service Your Car?By having the car serviced regularly, you will save money on fuel as you will have a more efficient car. You can also avoid potentially expensive repairs and breakdowns by having problems pointed out to you when your car is serviced. Sometimes there are a few things in the car which need to be replaced because of the normal wear and tear action. For example, if you don’t change the cambelt on your car, it might break when you’re driving and it will cause damage to the engine and you will have to fork out more money than you

would have initially because then you would need to change both the cambelt and the engine.When being checked by the mechanic, you might be notified that your clutch might need replacing soon and if you have had the car for a short time or have just had the clutch replaced, it might be an indication that you’re using the clutch too much. So you might have to change your driving habits to make sure you’re not overdoing things. Other things like handbrake and brake pedals wear a lot as well because of constant use and they need changing if they are worn, otherwise it will be unsafe to drive the vehicle.

What Does Car Servicing Involve?Having your serviced means checks are made under the bonnet of the car - this will include the oil and oil filter. Many manufacturers

advise you to change the oil and filter every 6 months to a year or after 10,000 miles but there are many discussions regarding this time frame. If you have any other concerns with your vehicle, the garage will gladly have a look at it. Try and use a garage or approved repairers which have been recommended or you might find that you experience more problems after and may even get ripped off. If you can go to the manufacturer, they should have parts available to hand without ordering them in and the service is supposed to be better and more reliable than going to a garage but you may pay. All manufacturers have checklists for their car models and their garage will know what to look for and check. Remember to keep a record in the service book so you can refer back to it if you need to and have proof when you come to sell your car.

BuRlESQuEDirector: Steve AntinStarring: Christina Aguillera, Cher, Eric Dane, Alan Cumming

Christina Aguilera makes her theatrical film debut as Ali, a small-town girl with dreams of taking to the stage and realising her showbiz dreams.

After moving to los Angeles Ali stumbles across The Burlesque lounge, a grand burlesque theatre whose best days are seemingly long gone. Its owner, Tess (Cher), finds her a job as a cocktail waitress in the club, but Ali continues to dream about taking to its stage. At the club she garners the attention of young bartender Jack (Cam Gigandet) and finds an enemy in the shape of the bitchy Nikki (kristen Bell). Soon enough, Tess gives Ali a shot at dancing, and she soon finds herself immersed in the art of burlesque, restoring The Burlesque lounge to its former glory, but not before charismatic entrepreneur Marcus Gerber (Eric Dane) arrives with an exciting proposal.

3D - TRoN lEGACYDirector: Joseph kosinskiStarring: Jeff Bridges, Michael Sheen, olivia Wilde, Garrett Hedlund, Bruce Boxleitner

This stunning 3D masterpiece is the sequel to the cult 1982 sci-fi hit, starring Jeff Bridges and newcomer Garrett Hedlund.kevin (Jeff Bridges) - once the world’s leading video-game developer - disappeared 25 years ago. When his son Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn’s Arcade - a signal that could have only have been sent by his father - he finds himself pulled into the same digital world where kevin has been trapped in these past two decades. Alongside the fearless Quorra (olivia Wilde), Sam and kevin must try to escape this deadly video game reality before the villainous Castor (Michael Sheen) can stop them. This sequel to Disney’s cult 1982 sci-fi adventure Tron reunites original stars Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner and welcomes newbies Garrett Hadlund and olivia Wilde. Special effects nuts should expect to be wowed by the scenes where a modern day Jeff Bridges meets his magically de-aged younger self!
