LOCAL EDITORIAL
LOCAL EDITORIAL
I Don’t, do You?
I’m all for honesty. It’s the cornerstone
of relationships, an essential quality, and
actually makes life incredibly easy.
I don’t mean the blunt, unkind sort that
tells someone their bum does look big
(even if they haven’t asked). Or that
someone else’s roast potatoes are better
than yours. I just mean everyday, decent,
honest behaviour. Genuine, authentic,
candid. No hidden agendas, no secrets, no
photoshop.
Ah, photoshop! As someone who has a
habit of turning into a gargoyle the moment
a photo is taken, it’s really best that I
remain clueless about it. A few months
back I observed a young woman in a cafe
tweak a photograph of herself for almost
an hour. She was very attractive, and as
far as I could tell, the photo was great, but
she nipped in her waist, tanned her arms,
slimmed her legs, gave herself a bottom
lift, widened her eyes ... on and on and on!
Having said that, for every 100 photos
that are taken of me doing my best ogre
impression, is one that I might consider
posting on Facebook. So perhaps I’m
just as fake as the girl in the cafe? In an
attempt to correct that, I thought I’d share
something I saw on social media a while
back ... an “I Don’t” list. These are things I
could or perhaps should do, that you might
assume I do, but I don’t. Call it honest, call
it over-sharing ... whatever. Here it is:
I don’t make the bed. (Someone please
explain why it’s important?).
I don’t tidy my desk or office. (Or at least
not so you’d notice. It’s a bomb-site).
I don’t make my own pastry. (I’m a decent
cook, but my pastry is rubbish).
I don’t wash towels and sheets every
week. (I could argue it’s better for the
environment).
I don’t shave my legs in winter. (Hardly).
I don’t hoover. (Once a week is enough,
and someone does it for me).
I don’t iron. (Literally, what is the point?).
I don’t frame my kid’s music certificates.
(I’m so proud of them and I have frames.
It’s a mental block).
I don’t do gardening. (Weeding put my back
out years ago and I’m not risking it. Plus I
don’t like dirt under my nails. Don’t buy me
gardening gloves).
I don’t share Toffifee. (They’re mine).
I don’t floss. (My dentist has been nagging
for years, I just can’t be bothered).
I don’t put the bins out. (That’s what
husband’s are for).
I don’t buy organic. (I would like to, but it’s
sooo much more expensive).
I don’t organise or print my photographs.
(Tens of thousands of family photos, all
jumbled up on my computer).
I don’t exercise except for walking the dog.
(I should, and I will, but currently, I don’t).
OK, that’s enough! How was it for you? Do
we have some don’ts in common, or do
you think I’m a disgusting, negligent slob?
Ah, well. I don’t care!
Anyway, dear loyal reader (if you haven’t
gone off me) I have actually been working
very hard of late on improving my digital
presence. So please pop along to my revamped
website www.thelocalword.com,
where you can find out everything you
might want to know about the magazine,
PLUS a new Business Directory listing
all your favourite advertisers. Or look
me up on Facebook,

magazine and local life.

The Wokingham Word 4 FEBRUARY 2020
LOCAL FUNDRAISING
Chosen Charities
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls ...
NEW for 2020, The Wokingham Word is
supporting two Chosen Charities.
Throughout the year, I will aim to raise
awareness (and money) for two fantastic
causes - one local, and one national.
The Ollie Young Foundation
For my first local
Chosen Charity, I
had to go with my
heart. There are so
many lovely local
organisations who do
absolutely fantastic
stuff, but the Ollie
Young Foundation is
particularly special.
On 26th February 2012, the unthinkable
happened to the Young family. Little Ollie,
just a day off his 6th birthday, died in his
mother’s arms, with his family around
him. The symptoms of his inoperable
brain tumor had only become apparent 12
weeks earlier.
Since then, in his name, the Ollie Young
Foundation has raised a staggering
£500,000 for brain tumour research.
You probably know that Ollie’s mum,
Sarah, was ITV Meridian’s Winner of the
Regional Fundraiser of the Year award, and
attended the star-studded “Pride of Britain”
awards back in October 2019.
Sarah is just delightful, the nicest person
you could ever wish to meet. Simon, his
Dad, the same. Ollie was one year older
than my youngest son, Ronnie. Alfie, his
older brother, is the same age as my
middle son, Alfred. It doesn’t take a genius
to work out why I feel still so connected to
this cause. I remember reading their story
all those years ago, and so many times
since, rarely with dry eyes.
The majority of the money raised by the
OYF goes into brain tumour research; to
improve quality of life, life expectancy, and
ultimately, to save lives.
In addition, the OYF supports Helen &
Douglas House, which provides hospice
care for babies and children. And also CLIC
Sargent which provides financial support
for affected families.
February really is Ollie’s month, with both
his birthday and the anniversary of him
passing away. The OYF call it FebBLUEary
and aim to raise awareness of their cause
by turning everything blue!
Visit www.ollieyoungfoundation.org or
follow us on Facebook.
My second Chosen Charity is national,
and it’s the wonderful:
Alzheimer’s Society
“Tell me your name again?”
I’m Carolyn.
Pause. Confused.
“Who gave you that name?”
You did, Mum.
Pause.
“I didn’t know you were my daughter all
this time”.
This is the conversation I had with my
mum when I dropped her back home after
Christmas. She was especially confused
over the Christmas period. She stayed with
my brother for a few days, and then with
us - it was all too much. On Boxing Day, she
had no recollection of the day before. She
was very upset when I told her I would be
taking her home the next day, saying that
she thought she was staying for Easter.
At other times, she might be lucid and
insightful ... but those
times are becoming
fewer and fewer.
My mum was an
intelligent and very capable
woman. A school teacher, chair and
member of many committees and good
causes, a wife and mother, a fantastic
cook. Incredibly modest, I never heard her
say she was good at anything, when in fact,
she could do virtually everything.
With projections of 1 million sufferers by
2025, nearly everyone’s life will be touched
by some sort of Dementia. Alzheimer’s is
by far the most common type, accounting
for over 60% of cases.
The Alzheimer’s Society
is at the forefront of
research, support
and advice for those
affected. And whilst
we all try to stay
positive, anyone
affected knows what
a cruel and draining disease it is.
Find out more at alzheimers.org.uk
So there you have it, my two Chosen
Charities for 2020. Look out for fund-raising
events and information in future editions,
on my website www.thelocalword.com
or please look up The Wokingham Word
on Facebook. I hope that at some point in
the year, you might be able to help support
them with me.
For anyone with a tiny amount of spare
change jangling in your pockets after
Christmas, I’ve set up a fund-raising page
- I’d be so grateful if you feel inclined
to make a donation ... please go to:
uk.virginmoneygiving.com and search
for “The Local Word” or Carolyn Robinson.

The Wow Factor
With the popularity of open plan living,
kitchens have become the hub and main
living area of the house.
Kitchen worktops have become more
important as they are the focal point of this
living area.
With new stone, quartz, timber or solid
surface worktops fitted onto existing
kitchen cabinets or into a new kitchen you
can give even the most modest kitchen a
true Wow factor.
From the moment you decide you are
going to change or replace your kitchen
you should start to consider what type of
worksurface you want. To help you make
this decision Roktops Worksurfaces have
recently opened a new samples showroom.
We believe this is the most extensive range
of samples in the South of England.
Here’s our handy guide to the most popular
types of worksurface (a comprehensive
list is available at www.roktops.co.uk go to
About go to Worktop Guide
Solid Timber
Probably the least expensive way of
adding quality and style to a kitchen. The
timber will need regular maintenance and
is prone to staining
especially in the wet
areas around a sink. It
has gained popularity
most recently with
many kitchen designers
on areas such as islands
and peninsulars, to
soften the look of the
kitchen and add a warm
texture to the design.
Granite
Granite has come and gone as the most
popular worksurface. A few years ago
it was the most popular material after
Laminate. Natural granite has its own
beauty, with many colours and styles but
it does come with its own list of problems.
It’s porous, fragile and is inconsistent
from one piece of stone to another even
when slabs are cut from the same block.
When we make your kitchen it has to
go through many processes which can
weaken the stone which cannot be picked
up during manufacture. The lighter colours
show lemon and red wine stains. Many
household chemicals have a detrimental
effect on the surface. Granite cannot be
burnt but we have seen many occasions
where hot pans have burnt the chemicals
used to seal the granite.
Quartz
Quartz is by far the most popular
worksurface on the market at this
present time. Quartz offers style, variety,
strength and practicality. There are
many manufacturers and types of quartz
surfaces which means there is a product
that will suit most budgets. It is non-porous
easy to maintain and resistant to chipping
and scratching. Most household cleaners
can be used and there is little maintenance
required.
Solid Surfaces
Most people call this Corian as it is the
name synonymous to all types of solid
surface. DuPont created this product
over 50 years ago and it is by far the most
versatile material of all surfaces available.
Solid surface allows for inconspicuous
seamless joints, moulded in sinks, moulded
in upstands, curves, thermos- forming
shapes, extra wide or long islands and it
is infinitely repairable. Most household
cleaners can be used and Corian sinks can
be cleaned easily with bleach. There are a
whole range and styles of colours available.

Alternatives to gifting house deposits
to help loved ones
Collectively, parents have given £6.3bn of
financial assistance to help their children step
on to the property ladder. A substantial figure, it
ranks the Bank of Mum and Dad (BOMAD) 11th, if
considered as a national mortgage lender.
The average contribution now stands at £24,100, an
increase of more than £6,000 compared to 2018,
research by Legal & General has revealed. However,
it seems the Bank of Mum and Dad is running out
of money and overly generous parents risk harming
their standard of living during retirement. In fact,
15% of the 1,600 participants surveyed admitted
to already having to cut back after helping a loved
one purchase a property.
Fortunately, gifting cash isn’t the only way you can
help a loved one step on to the property ladder and
other routes to support homeownership should be
considered.
At Newbury Building Society, our flexible and
tailored approach to lending gives us the ability
to help parents or grandparents boost their lovedone’s
borrowing power without having to dent their
personal financial well-being.
Joint borrower sole proprietor mortgages, for
example, is one such consideration which enables
parents to help their child by assisting with their
mortgage. Their income is used to improve overall
affordability without being named on the title
deeds. By doing so, the parent does not have to pay
the additional three per cent stamp duty surcharge
on a second property as well as capital gains tax
when the property is sold.
Parents could also remortgage or downsize their
own property to release equity to help fund a
deposit, if appropriate to do so.
In addition, there are several affordable housing
schemes available to support homebuyers fulfil
their property ambitions with more than 420,000
completions taken place using one or more of the
Government’s Help to Buy schemes, such as Help to
Buy Equity Loan and Shared Ownership.
Needless to say, the Bank of Mum and Dad isn’t set
to close its doors anytime soon, but parents can
rest assured there is more than one way to unlock a
loved one’s borrowing potential.
If you would like to discuss your mortgage opinions,
please contact us or visit us in branch. We provide a
tailored and individual service, and we are available
for Saturday appointments face-to-face, by
telephone or via video call.

February in your Garden
by Gardeneer
Goodbye January! At last there’s a sign of longer daylight
hours and spring approaching. The garden may well seem
dormant but there’s definitely growth at ground level
where tiny buds and shoots are appearing.
We associate spring with bulbs, beautiful daffodils, crocus and
hyacinth. However, there are lots of lovely summer bulbs which
can be planted in the autumn but early spring provides another
opportunity. Allium makes a fabulous display and mixes so well
with many popular plants – if planted in February it flowers in late
spring and early summer. They are easy to grow and return reliably
each year.
Lilies can be planted in February/March and make a great
scented display. They don’t like heavy, wet soil as it can make them
less reliable in later years so, if your garden has wet heavy clay
conditions, they are better planted in containers.
There are lots of summer flowering bulbs in the garden
centres from now on. Check the packets carefully as those which
are not frost hardy need to be planted later. Tomato feed applied
during the growth season and up to flowering gives summer bulbs
a really good chance of flowering the following year.
Crocosmia can also be planted in the spring: they will flower in
the late summer and make a great display. Crocosmia are easy to
grow and return reliably each year.
Witch Hazels are frequently the first of the truly dramatic large
shrubs to flower reliably in February. Hamamelis mollis “Pallida”
is a favourite. It is smothered in large, bright yellow flower petals
that are sweetly scented and hard to beat for the boldness of their
display.
If you have acidic soil or a container with ericaceous compost,
consider planting the early flowering Rhododendron “Rosa Mundi”.
It has pink flowers with a reddish eye and does not grow as large
as other Rhododendrons, growing to 1.5m: hence it is suitable for
growing in a container.
A plant which is ideal for covering fences or for covering or
pergolas is the evergreen Clematis, Clematis alpino “Freckles”
which will actually flower any time from October through to
February – it produces creamy pink flowers that have a very
distinctive deep red “freckles” . This clematis also has the added
bonus of being richly scented.
Finally, February would not be complete in any garden
without mentioning Camellias. The japonica group of camellias
are the ones that reliably flower in February and here are a
few cultivars to consider: “Alba plena” is a large double white,
“Anenomiflora” has dark crimson flowers which are borne in
abundance, or consider trying the unusual “Lavinia Maggi” which
is double white but with broad cerise pink stripes!
As ever, Gardeneer is here to help with your garden, whether
it’s regular tidy-ups, designing and landscaping, turfing, fencing,
decking and everything to make it the garden you wish for.

LOCAL REVIEWS
Film Reviews
by
Bill Robinson
1917 (2020)
Put as simply as possible, this film is a
masterpiece. Not only does the gorgeous,
flowing cinematography excel here, it
fully deserves the accolades earned at the
recent Golden Globe Awards.
Much of the hype surrounding “1917”
has centred on its cinematography. Sam
Mendes and legendary cinematographer
Roger Deakins have created a film that
appears to be shot in one take. And this
is not in the same way that “Birdman”
faked this look, the film really was shot in
real time; using exceptionally long takes,
some 10 mins long or more. A painfully
dramatic sense of realism is created by
this astonishing feat of filming; the camera
Star Wars: Episode IX, The Rise of
Skywalker (2019)
My opinion of Episode 8 of the now
enormous Star Wars saga degraded
dramatically since I gave it a generally
positive review in 2017. Whilst it has
redeeming qualities, I now consider
it one of the worst movies in the
franchise for several reasons. And my
overall disappointment with this latest,
“final” instalment makes me dislike its
predecessor even more.
Episode 9 (The Rise of Skywalker)
represents a recovery and a scramble to
resolve the many plot holes that 8 left in
its wake; who are Rey’s real parents? How
was Leia suddenly adept in the ways of the
force? How is Rey so powerful? All these
spends all of the time on its protagonists,
creating a feeling of immersion and realism
I have never experienced watching a film
before.
As the singular, sprawling set is revealed
through the continuous, fluid camera
movement, more and more immaculately
detailed sets, props and costumes are
uncovered, constantly displaying the
grandeur and scale of what Mendes
has achieved. Equally effective are the
moments that aren’t grand, in which the
fine actors highly effectively build their
characters, developing in real-time, right
in front of us. The sheer amount of time
we spend constantly connected with these
characters is unique, and it never allowed
my attention to stray from the action …
questions are resolved by this film, but
not in an entirely smooth or clean way.
Director J.J Abrams was left with a seriously
tough job on his hands with repairing
the damage left by Rian Johnson. Sure,
the wounds are now patched up and the
story has finally been closed off, but if
this film had no mess to clear up from the
previous instalment, it could have shone
far brighter.
All the ingredients are there to make it
shine: the acting is on the charming end
of the cheesy-spectrum, the care and
attention taken to the props, sets and
costumes are as good as ever and there
are some truly epic moments of pure Star
Wars fan service. However, again, the
failings of Episode 8 taint Episode 9 … it is
clear that Disney executives did not want
… Instead my focus was locked onto
“1917” right from the moment that first
long take sets off, to the moment the
camera finally settles at the emotional
and beautiful conclusion.
10/10 in cinemas now.
any surprises or controversy coming from
the final instalment, no real risks are taken
here. More than any other franchise, Star
Wars films are made almost exclusively for
Star Wars fans, and unfortunately, Episode
8 fatigued so many long-time fans of the
series, me included.
This should be
the block-busting,
record-breaking
finale that the
fans deserve,
but because of
the mistakes of
the past, this
film’s task was
impossible.

Community News
Eugene Onegin
26th - 29th February, South Hill Park. Park
Opera is proud to present Eugene Onegin,
Tchaikovsky’s heartbreakingly beautiful
story of the joys and pains of young love.
Tatyana’s quiet existence in the country is
turned upside down with the arrival of the
handsome and charismatic Eugene Onegin.
Overwhelmed by her feelings, she declares
her love to him in a passionate letter, but
he arrogantly rejects her romantic dreams,
and torments her by flirting with her sister.
A tragic duel ensues, and he flees the
country, searching for peace. Years later, at
a splendid ball in St Petersburg, he meets
Tatyana again, and his world is changed
forever in a final explosive encounter.
This is an opera which is inhabited by
genuine people whose small triumphs
and tragedies we can relate to, and really
care about. Tchaikovsky’s wonderful score
abounds in the plaintive melodies, lively folk
tunes and exuberant dance music for which
he is so famous, and includes the haunting
and much-loved tenor aria “Oh where, oh
where have flown my days of springtime?”.
Set in early nineteenth century Russia, with
gorgeous period costumes, superb soloists,
chorus and orchestra, and as always sung in
English, this touching production must not
be missed.
Tickets for this popular masterpiece are
sure to sell fast, so hurry to book your seats
now, to avoid disappointment, 01344 484

contact@hump.org.uk.
The evening will help support First Days
Children’s Charity, based in Hurst. First Days
provide everyday essentials to families who
are living in poverty by distributing clothes,
toiletries, school uniforms, equipment,
furniture, toys and books.
There’s more dancing fun at HuMP’s free
Maypole and Morris day on Sunday May 3
at noon – in the village hall grounds – or in
the hall if wet. Bring your family and picnic.

Chatter & Natter
January and February can be lonely months,
so if you would like some company then
head to Squire’s Garden Centres, as all of
their Café Bars have “Chatter & Natter”
tables.
Part of the Chatty Café scheme these tables
are for anyone – if you’re on your own, in
a couple, with a friend, young people, old
people and anyone in between. It’s just
about having good old-fashioned human
interaction. There are Chatter & Natter
tables every Tuesday morning at all sixteen
of Squire’s Café Bars, plus other days
throughout the week too - simply look out
for the signs on the tables.
Sarah Squire, Chairman of Squire’s Garden
Centres said, “In this age of social media it’s
so important to make an effort to talk to
others face to face. So for those who would
like a bit of real social interaction simply sit
at a Chatter & Natter table at Squire’s and
you can talk to other customers. I believe
a short conversation with another human
can really brighten your day. Everyone’s
welcome, and it’s a great way to meet
people in your local community.”
Plus get to Squire’s before 10am and you
can take advantage of their buy one get one
free offer on all hot drinks from Monday
to Saturday. Or tuck in to their “Build Your
Own Breakfast” which is served every day
until 11.30am.

ABC to Read
One-to-one mentoring support for children
struggling to read is being increased in
Wokingham thanks to a £2,000 grant from
Wokingham United Charities. The donation,
made to local charity ABC to Read, will
go towards training volunteers to assist
and support primary school children who
have been identified by their schools as
struggling most with their reading, with
many of the schools assigning their pupil
premium to provide an ABC to Read
mentor.
ABC to Read propose to place 30 new
volunteers in Berkshire by July 2020. Once
trained, each volunteer will work with 3
pupils with the potential for 90 children to
benefit from a personal mentor. The grant
from Wokingham United Charities will fund
training to ensure that 9 new children can
be supported in the Wokingham area.
99% of the local Berkshire children who
benefit from a one-to-one ABC to Read
mentor have improved in their reading
accuracy. The result comes from the
charity’s most recent annual report, which
also highlights that 99% of the youngsters
working with them have improved in
their confidence in reading and 98% have
enhanced their comprehension.
ABC to Read works very closely with schools
to ensure that the time children spend with
a volunteer mentor complements their
work in the rest of their school life and is
designed around their specific needs. The
charity’s annual statistics demonstrate
that, as a result of this personalised model,
children’s reading levels and general
confidence can be significantly increased.
ABC to Read are actively recruiting,
particularly in the Wokingham area and
there are still spaces available for any new
volunteers to take part in training and
for schools to sign up to the scheme. For
more information about training days or
joining the scheme as a school or volunteer
mentor, contact: abctoread@btconnect.com

LOCAL SUPPORT
Moving On
Valentine’s Day with all its hearts and
flowers was a tough time for administrator
Kate after her 20 year marriage broke up.
But now she can see renewed hope in
those spring blooms – thanks to a course
run by local charity Divorce Recovery
Workshop.
Kate, from a village near Wokingham and
working in Twyford, was so grateful to the
course at Earley, Reading she will help lead
the next one. It consists of two weekends:
March 20 & 21 and March 27 & 28.
“Valentine’s is a tricky time for people going
through separation or divorce – or who are
coming out the other side of it,” said Kate
who is in her 50s with grown up children.
“Shops and websites have so much about
that day. They seem to assume you are a
significant other for someone when in fact
you are struggling and on your own. It all
magnifies the difficulties you are feeling.
“Going to DRW made me feel less
isolated and helped me have a different
perspective. I discovered I could be in
charge of my own recovery and how to
move my life forward.
“Spring is a time for renewal. Things
may have been difficult but there can be
brightness coming.”
The next course is over two Friday evenings
and two Saturdays during the day, at
Brookside Hall, Earley. It’s for men and
women who are separating/separated or
divorcing/divorced.
Divorce Recovery Workshop is:
A proven self-help model run to a defined
standard
Simple and it works, speeding an
individual’s recovery
Credible, as all those running the
workshop, have experienced the
breakdown of a relationship
Offered unconditionally to anyone. The
only requirement is that you have, in
your own opinion, experienced the final
breakdown of a significant relationship
Self-resourcing using volunteers from
the workshops and a small charge for
expenses
DRW is a UK charity with its Berkshire and
Thames Valley branch based in Earley.
There’s a discount for early booking.

LOCAL ADVICE
February Health
by
Dr Daisy Mae
Snoring: It's no laughing matter
Forget "unreasonable behaviour" –
snoring is now recognised to be a top
reason for divorce – along with fishing
and becoming a vegetarian! (Daily
Express, January 2018).
A whopping 20 million Brits claim they are
sleep deprived by their partner’s snoring,
reported The Sun in 2017.
Snoring is often thought of as funny, yet
this could not be farther from the truth.
Usually, the partner suffers the most.
Sleeping on the sofa or in the spare room
every night takes its toll, with ruined
relationships and broken marriages.
So what causes snoring? Is it bad for our
health? What can be done about it?
What Causes Snoring?
Snoring is caused by something partially
blocking your airways. The airways include
your mouth and the back of your throat.
While you are asleep, and when you
breathe in deeply, this blockage causes that
noisy reverberation we all know so well as
a snore.
What causes blocked airways? The culprits
are our common vices. Smoking causes an
excess of mucus/catarrh, alcohol causes
the muscles and tissues of the palate to
over-relax and sag, and fat, in people who
are overweight or obese when pads of
fatty tissue accumulate in these areas and
literally wobble in the breeze!
Allergies also play a part. Common
allergens include house dust mite, animal
dander, pollens, yeasts and moulds.
Inhalation of allergens causes nasal and
throat tissues to swell and the production
of body secretions.
Typically, a snorer lies
flat on their back and
breathes through their
mouth. When you lie
on your back, your
tongue falls to the back
of your mouth, partially
blocking your airway. In
addition, when you take
a breath in through
your mouth, a forceful
wall of air hits the roof
of your mouth and is
funnelled through your
narrowed airway.
Lying on your side and breathing through
your nose make snoring less likely.
Sleep Apnoea
Snoring is only dangerous to health if it
causes "sleep apnoea".
In this condition, there is such a severe
blockage to airflow that your brain is
temporarily starved of oxygen. You briefly
stop breathing altogether, your brain
recognises this and after a long pause your
breathing starts again.
The strain on your heart and lungs plus the
effects of constantly feeling tired and poor
daily performance can have life-threatening
consequences.
75% of people who snore have sleep
apnoea.
If you think you could have sleep apnoea,
you must see your doctor.
What Can Be Done To Help Snoring?
Making lifestyle changes, however
difficult and unpopular, has to be the
mainstay of long-term treatment. Stopping
smoking, moderating or stopping drinking
alcohol and losing weight are strongly
recommended.
To reduce the risk of allergy, regular
vacuuming, damp dusting, and keeping
the bedroom pet-free will all help. Use
hypoallergenic bedding.
Keep the bedroom cool – around 15˚C.
Stay well hydrated – drink six to eight
glasses of water per day.
Products for Snorers and Snoring
Sufferers
The age-old solution of sewing a cotton reel
or a tennis ball in your pyjama trousers,
forcing you to lie on your side, still has
much to commend it.
Recently, having a pineapple plant in your
bedroom has been advocated – apparently
the plant produces extra oxygen overnight.
However, a simple starting point is a pair of
foam rubber earplugs for your partner.
Manufacturers have been very creative
with their anti-snoring products. For
example, nasal strips are available, which
are said to hold the airway open. And who’s
heard of a ‘Neti pot’ – a device used to flush
the airways before bedtime with salt water?
Best results are likely with the use of a
mandibular device – a special type of
gum shield that holds the tongue and jaw
forward to keep the airway open while you
sleep. Purchase these online, or have them
fitted more accurately by your dentist.
The Antisnoor device is a type of adhesive
patch you wear on your forehead that
detects snoring and then vibrates to
prompt you to turn over.
Smart Nora is an anti-snoring pillow that
listens out for snoring and then inflates to
encourage you to change the position of
your head.
The Importance of Sleep
Getting enough, good quality sleep is vital.
Lack of sleep increases your risk of strokes,

LOCAL SUPPORT
Money Matters
A church is set to run free sessions to
help people in Wokingham get on top of
their household finances.
Members of Christ Church Wokingham,
who have been trained by UK charity
Christians Against Poverty (CAP), want to
help their local community to best handle
their money in the current economic
climate. They are offering a short Money
Management course, in partnership with
Wokingham Borough Council and the
ESFA, aimed at putting the joy back into
money by helping people to chart their
household income and take control of their
expenditure.
Money coach Brian Allan, who will be
leading the CAP Money course sessions,
said: “With households feeling the squeeze
on their disposable income, especially
those on benefits or low incomes, we
should all become a bit more savvy about
our money to get through tough times.
If you know how to save and budget
effectively, it can have a hugely positive
impact on the whole family.”
Christ Church Wokingham is one of more
than 1,100 churches of different Christian
traditions across the UK who are regularly
offering the course, as they work together
to positively impact the communities
around them.
The CAP Money course has been found to
be useful for newly retired people, soon-tobe
students, mums dealing with mounting
bills, families saving for a wedding and
everyone in between.
He added: “We hope that we can help
people, quietly and confidentially, take
better control of their finances rather
than relying on guess work so they can
better plan for the future and weather the
storms.”
The next course takes place at Woosehill
Community Hall, Emmview Close,
Woosehill, Wokingham, RG41 3DA (left
before Morrisons car park) starting with
the first of three sessions at 9:45am on 7th
February, and then on 14th February and
28th February.
You can find out more about the CAP
Money Course and book your place by
visiting www.
capmoneycourse.
org. You can also
