Haskins Garden Centre hosts Bulb Festival this autumn Haskins Garden Centre is hosting a Bulb Festival throughout autumn, to celebrate the fanfare of colours provided by bulb planting.

Starting now, the festival will highlight bulb flower varieties and demonstrate that there is a colour to suit everyone’s taste. In particular, the festival will showcase ‘Tulip Queensland,’ Haskins’ bulb of the year. The Tulip Queensland is a soft-pink fringed variety, with longlasting double flowers that make a perfect cut flower for a vase.

More than 300 different varieties of bulbs are available to buy at Haskins, including some unusual varieties such as Daffodil ‘Green Eyes,’ Dwarf Iris ‘Blue Note’ and Anemone ‘Bordeaux.’

Alasdair Urquhart, plant advisor at Haskins Garden Centre in Ferndown, said: “During the festival, customers can learn how to plant bulbs and how to achieve a blooming gorgeous garden by next spring. Now is the time to be planting bulbs for a vibrant colour display.

“With all the varieties of bulbs available, you can choose your colour scheme, create a riot of colour or keep it simple by planting contrasting colours.”

Haskins Garden Centres is located in Ferndown in Dorset, West End in Southampton and Roundstone and Snowhill in West Sussex. For more information, visit www.haskins.co.uk

Planting bulbs throughout autumn is the perfect antidote to winter.

Bulbs typically flower from February to May with the general sequence being Iris, Crocus, Daffodil and then Tulip.

Talking about Wildlife...

Dorset - A home for reptiles Reptiles are cold-blooded animals, covered in scales, whose ancestors date back more than 300 million years. Whilst the reptiles of Britain, like many other species in the country, have lost some of their natural habitat to development, for reptiles and reptile enthusiasts, Dorset is the ideal county. All six British reptiles reside here: adder, grass snake, smooth snake, sand lizard, common lizard and slow worm.

ideal habitat for reptiles.

Dorset heaths are a unique natural environment, known to be amongst the best heaths in Britain, and provide an ideal terrain for reptiles. The rarest species of our reptiles, the smooth snakes and sand lizards, are heathland specialists, and particularly vulnerable to the current trend of heath fragmentation. The heathland conservation work that Dorset Wildlife Trust is currently implementing in Dorset is giving our reptiles the best chances possible of survival. For example, the open land and rocks of the heaths allow for plenty of basking in the sun, crucial for the reptiles to regulate their body temperature.

Heaths are also rich in insects to snack on and in hibernation places for the winter, another vital requirement for a reptile habitat. The ideal heath environment for reptiles also includes water, sand, and rock piles for hiding.

Upton Heath in Dorset is just one of those sites managed to provide the

Preserving precious reptile habitats is crucial for their continued survival. If you would like to ďŹ nd out more about heathland and reptiles in Dorset, visit:

Reptiles are extremely shy creatures and can be diďŹƒcult to spot in the wild. September is a good time to catch the last glimpse of the year of these fascinating creatures as they will soon be disappearing into hibernation.

Most will be gone by October, and not likely to emerge again until March, when the sun starts warming the land to meet the reptiles’ cold-blooded needs.

Harold G Walker helps Forest Holme hospice repair vandalised sunflower garden Harold G Walker Solicitors have paid to repair the vandalised memorial garden in Poole Park, preventing financial loss to a Dorset hospice charity. The Sunflower Garden unveiled earlier this month aimed to raise funds and awareness for the 1,000 patients cared for by Forest Holme Hospice each year. Only days after being opened to the public several of the garden’s handmade ceramic Sunflowers were vandalised resulting in £300 worth of damage.

Nicola Lowe, Managing Partner said “Forest Holme Hospice has provided outstanding care for relatives of our staff and so this is a cause we are delighted to support. We were saddened to learn of the heartless act of vandalism to the Sunflower Garden and only too happy to help support

the fundraising project in repairing the damage.”

“This was a terrible incident which is not only upsetting for those who have dedicated a flower to a loved one, but also those who have worked tirelessly to help create the garden”, comments Becky Chalk, Forest Holme Hospice Fundraiser. “We are truly grateful to Harold G Walker Solicitors for coming to our rescue with their generous donation. The support from the local community has been over whelming - proving something good can come out of any bad situation.”

Talbot Village Trust sends RAF Air Cadet Squadron soaring In celebration of its 75th anniversary, The Royal Air Force (RAF) Air Cadets 1069 Flight Refuelling Wimborne Squadron has been awarded with a £3,000 donation from Talbot Village Trust.

The Air Cadet unit based in Wimborne is dedicated to supporting young people by providing training in all required aspects of flight to an RAF standard.

Cadets also have the opportunity to take part in various outdoor activities including the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

The donation received from the grant giving charity has enabled its flight simulator to be taken to new heights with the installation of up to date software for squadron training.

Talbot Village Trust trustee, Nicholas Ashley-Cooper, 12th Earl of Shaftesbury, said: ‘‘I am pleased that the squadron chose to come to the Trust for help to update their facilities. ‘‘The Wimborne Squadron teaches a

number of young people the importance of discipline and also a range of highly complex skills. It is important for the community to continue to have the squadron as a stepping stone to a potential career in the RAF.’’ Flight lieutenant Nigel Winton, commanding officer explained: ‘‘This funding has allowed us to invest in updating software that was very much needed to continue to offer RAF training of the highest standard to our cadets. ‘‘In our 75th year, we are grateful that the Trust has allowed us to maintain the training which those before us have historically provided.’’

Talbot Village Trust meets biannually, and will be accepting applications for funding from both previous and new applicants in the area before the Trust meet again in November. Visit www.talbotvillagetrust.co.uk for more information.

..providing the answers

to your legal questions

Every month the solicitors and lawyers at Harold G Walker will be providing answers to your questions about the law.

What legal rights do I have when purchasing items online?

Since June 2014 contracts for the purchase of goods and services within England and Wales have been regulated by the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.

These regulations apply to transactions between a consumer (an individual acting for non-business purposes) and a trader (someone acting for business or professional purposes) conducted ‘on-premises’ but also to transactions conducted online or ‘distance contracts’. The Regulations do not extend to items purchased through a public auction, which includes purchases through online auction sites, such as Ebay.

be purchased together with any delivery charges and, if applicable, the minimum contract length. If there is a complaints policy or a cancellation policy this must also be provided to the consumer.

Generally there is a 7 day cancellation, or cooling-off, period. From when that period runs depends upon the type of goods or services purchased. It can either be from when you entered into a contract for services or the goods purchased were delivered. There are some exceptions.

If you are experiencing any difficulties in relation to a contract you have entered into online or would like further information and advice, contact our Dispute A trader is obliged to give the prospective purchaser Resolution team on 01202 823308 certain prescribed information. This includes the seller’s Laura Tomlinson name and address, the main characteristics of the goods who will be able to advise you as Dispute Resolution to your rights. or services being offered, the total cost of the item to

In the bad weather earlier this year, two fence panels were damaged and are in danger of falling down. How can I establish who is responsible for repairing or replacing these panels?

It is not always easy to determine who is responsible for and owns boundary fences. The starting point is to look at your deeds. Although they do not always answer the question, a Plan on a Transfer or Conveyance may provide the answer. If the ‘T’ marks (so called because they look like a capital T) are within your plot then, on the face of it, the boundary is your responsibility.

ownership. In the absence of any other evidence, there is also a presumption that if a fence has supporting posts, the fence belongs to the property that has the supporting posts on its side, the reason being that the fence is the boundary, so you cannot have your supporting posts on the adjoining land.

The best approach, which is not necessarily the legal one is to have an amicable discussion with the neighbours in question to reach agreement as to what to do with the garden fence, i.e. who will pay and fit the panels and also its location, as disputes can easily arise over small strips of land.

However, over the years, the situation can change if, for If you require further information example, panels had fallen down in the past and were or advice please contact a member replaced by adjoining owners. If they paid for the of our Conveyancing team on panels and erected them, they would remain in their 01202 881454.

Auto Biographies Motoring

Ford Kuga

By Tim Barnes-Clay, www.carwriteups.co.uk The Kuga came on to the scene in 2008. Built in two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive it was Ford’s response to SUVs, such as the Nissan Qashqai. It was also built to challenge more established 4x4s, such as the Honda CR-V. While it is no rocket ship, the Kuga 1.5T Ecoboost, on test here, does pick up pace fairly well (0-62mph in 9.7s) and feels particularly nippy around town. Its manual six-speed gearbox has a positive, smooth, action and the Ford delivers a relaxing, yet well-ordered ride at low speeds.

The steering is light and direct – and this makes city driving and parking a breeze. Alas, there is far too much din in the road and wind noise department for the Kuga to be a serious motorway vessel. Safety is first-rate, though, with side and curtain airbags helping it achieve a five-star Euro NCAP crash-test result.

Inside, the Kuga is quite spacious in the front, but its plunging roofline intrudes on headroom for taller passengers in the rear. Legroom for anyone approaching six-feet tall is also limited, however it’s a fine area for kids to sit comfortably. The 406-litre boot is bigger than the Ford Focus’ 316-litre offering – making the loading of a bulky pushchair and the weekly supermarket shopping even less of a hassle.

As alluded to earlier, the Kuga’s key rival is the Nissan Qashqai, with other opponents including the Kia Sportage and Volkswagen Tiguan. All of their boots are even bigger than the Ford’s by some margin.

In fairness, though, the Ford Kuga Zetec 1.5T EcoBoost makes a good buy. It offers a decent mix of performance and size for families looking for a school-run-mobile. It is also frontwheel-drive - and this variant is really what you should try and get, unless you are desperate for 4x4 traction and off-road ability. Front-wheel-drive Kugas are a little bit cheaper to run than the four-wheel-drive versions and, if buying used, may well have been better cared for.

The current Kuga is smart enough and has a generally reliable history, although it is starting to come over as a tad dated – but at least it’s a safe car. Fortunately, we won’t have too long to wait for a fresh Kuga. The Blue Oval hopes to fight the BMW X3 with a chicer, more elegant version of the SUV at the end of this year

GARDENING:

World’s most famous gardeners It’s probably relatively safe to say that few people go into green-fingered pursuits for fame or fortune. And if they do they must already realise their work is very much cut out for them.

Nevertheless, thanks to our love of watching things grow, and learning about the steps necessary to cultivate that growth, there have been a few faces lucky enough to cement a reputation in the horticultural public conscious. We decided to come up with a few of our all-time favourites, so take a look and see if you don’t agree.

Charlie Dimmock

After rising to fame in the Ground Forceera, alongside another of our picks, Mr. Titchmarsh, Dimmock hasn’t stopped improving the outdoor lives of others, with her most recent endeavour coming in the form of Garden Rescue. A true crusader for the cause.

Pippa Greenwood

A regular on both Gardeners’ World and the panel for Gardeners’ Question Time, Greenwood also lays claim to a three year stint as gardening consultant on the ITV series Rosemary & Thyme, and the title of Plant Pathologist.

David Domoney

Resident gardening expert on The Alan Titchmarsh Show, co-presenter of ITV’s Love Your Garden and winner of 28 Royal Horticultural Society medals, Domoney might still be more familiar to most for time spent on This Morning, which spanned four years.

Monty Don

The main man on Gardeners’ World has authored more than 15 books on the subject of plants, flowers and landscaping, whilst still finding the time to appear on countless other TV shows, often as lead presenter. He’s also spoken and written openly about his struggle with depression, which we thoroughly applaud him for.

Alan Titchmarsh

From his formative years on the long-running BBC show, Nationwide, where he was horticulture expert, to his presenting of the Chelsea Flower Show, Ground Force, British Isles - A Natural History, and even providing the voice for CBeebies’ Gordon The Garden Gnome , Titchmarsh is easily the most iconic and recognisable gardener on our list.

Adventures of Nellie

The Adventures of Nellie

The Dorset Publications Camper Van Wow what weather we had for a good couple of months. Nellie has had to use lots of suncream this year, or was it polish? Still she looked good. The day she took Hayden and myself to Brownsea Island was a scorcher. Beautiful sunshine and hardly a cloud in sight. Stephen had gone off on a course to help him be more efficient, so I was all for that. Nellie was pleased too, as with her aging years she doesn’t take stress easily and is all for a relaxed, chilled out life these days.

Anything Stephen can do to facilitate that, had to be good. This left Hayden and I (that’s correct English isn’t it?) with a day to ourselves. Where would Nellie take us?

She did quite a bit of research on the internet to see how far places were and came up with the bright idea (as I said, it was a brilliantly sunny day) to take us to Brownsea Island. It was years since I had taken Hayden. He was a baby in a pram in fact, but don’t remind him of that, after all he is a grown up boy now and they don’t like it. You really feel you are going somewhere when you step on the boat at

Enjoying the harbour views from the water

Nellie on the quay with another old lady Poole Quay and sail off from the harbour wall. Nellie of course had to wave good bye at that point as she is too fat to get up the gangway. About that diet…

Bobbing up and down, watching all the different boats sailing by, passing the busy dock on the opposite side, where really large cargo ships get filled with all their wares to go out to sea and sail to some foreign land, is so relaxing.

There is definitely a whole ‘in the past feel’ about Poole Quay, as if time hasn’t fully moved on. Brownsea Island is very similar.

Now owned by the National Trust and famous for its red squirrels, you have the sensation that you have stepped back in time and are miles away from anywhere.

The island was owned by Mrs BonhamChristie from 1927. She was a recluse and gave everyone living there a year’s notice to leave. As a result the population went down from around 70 to 6! One advantage of that, though I am sure the residents would have had something else to say, is that the island preserved its authenticity, its simplicity, and nature

39 was allowed to flourish. The little Church built in 1853 is idyllic, a real chocolate box look. (Nellie does like her chocolate, as you can see from her thighs.) There is no lighting or water and services here held from May to September by candle light only. Apparently there maybe anywhere from two to three hundred at any given Church service. All of a sudden two minutes before the service starts 300 Brownies can arrive. That is a challenge for the Reverend! The scouting movement is very much embraced on the Island after the founder Robert Baden-Powell held his first camp there in 1907. The day we arrived there were many Guides and Scouts who were leaving after a great camp, by the look of it. I can imagine it is quite a place to stay in a tent, under the stars with very few people around and just the birds, peacocks and squirrels to keep you company. Nellie would love it, but sadly she would never be able to get there, let alone stay.

Now boys will be boys, especially in this modern world we live in and Hayden had his phone with him trying to catch Pokemon. If you don’t know what that is, don’t worry. From what I understand, and believe me I am absolutely no expert, they are little animals that you find on your phone, wherever you may be. Very clever technology and in total juxtaposition (for those not so quite well educated, that

The church on Brownsea Island

Amazing views from the northern shore means, “the fact of two things being seen or placed close together with contrasting effect”. Nellie taught me it!  ) with the ‘old’ island, set back a century or so ago.

Apparently there is a ‘Pikachu’ on the island! These are rare and much sought after by Pokemon players, so that was very exciting. Hayden didn’t catch it, but it was good fun trying.

I have to say that a day with Hayden on my own was totally fulfilling. We don’t get many chances in our busy lives to just take time out, time together and chill. Nellie’s sole purpose in life is to help us do just that, which is why we bought her. I am so glad we did. Hayden and I walked to the fantastic beaches on the North side of the Island and gazed at the beautiful scenery.

It really is quite spectacular. After some time walking I asked Hayden what he would like to do. Knowing his Mum very well, and having an ‘old head on young shoulders’ he suggested we go back to the café for an hour to have something to eat… and a coffee, before boarding our boat to take us back to reality. What an incredible day. Nellie was delighted we had enjoyed it so much. She was patiently waiting in the car park and sprung into step as soon as I turned her engine on.

Love her.

Where will she take us next…?

Put your feet... in good hands!

Having been the podiatrist on board the Queen Elizabeth 2 cruise liner and also having worked within the NHS in a variety of roles specialising in diabetes high risk clinics, biomechanical clinics and specialised nail surgery clinics, Catherine Ranger brings a wealth of experience to Ferndown.

She graduated with a Honours degree in Podiatry from the University of Brighton in 1995, before embarking on a varied NHS career, during which she was seconded as a clinical lecturer to Huddersfield University.

More recently she was a lecturer in Podiatry at University College London and the University of East London before moving down to the South Coast.

She has owned and worked with practices in Southampton and the New Forest for a number of years. Catherine bought the Ferndown Chiropody Clinic in 2009.

‘I am able to provide specialised services including gait analysis and orthotic therapy for those experiencing pain in their feet, heels, knees and lower back’, says Catherine.

Wimborne Railway Station ‘Target’ Sign This handsome sign from the museum’s collections originally stood on one of the platforms of Wimborne Railway Station. The railway station was located in Station Road, north of the River Stour.

It was opened in 1847, as part of the Southampton and Dorchester Railway line.

This type of sign is known as a ‘target’, from its similarity to a shooting target. It was made during the 1920s or 1930s, and is painted in the green and white colours of the Southern Railway Company, which ran the line through Wimborne between 1923 and 1947. It would have been mounted on one of the station’s lamp posts, with a light above to illuminate it at night. Wimborne was one of a small number of stations that retained its’ ‘target’ signs after the nationalisation of the railways in 1948.

Wimborne Railway Station closed to passenger traffic in 1964, a victim of the ‘Beeching Axe’ programme of rail line closures. Freight services continued to run through Wimborne for some years afterwards, until the line was finally closed in 1977. The railway station site is now occupied by Wimborne Market.

The railway sign stands as a reminder of when Wimborne was part of an extensive rail network, which formed a vital link to the rest of the country and the world beyond.

Gardening Tips

On Your Plot Benefits of Garlic

Time spent on clearing and preparing your beds now will pay dividends next year. Make the most of the autumn sunshine to get compost dug into bare beds and you’ll have saved yourself hours of work on those chilly Spring days.

Jobs for October :-

• Make sure that plenty of sun can get to your pumpkins in order to get them ripe in time for Halloween.

• Plant garlic, shallots and Japanese onions.

• Leaving dead seed heads etc. on your flower borders will provide valuable food and shelter for garden wildlife over winter, as will leaving an undisturbed log or two. Build a rough shelter in a quiet corner and you might get a hedgehog move in!

• If you get lots of fallen leaves on your plot don’t waste them. Make a bin from chicken wire attached to 4 posts. Fill this with the leaves and they will rot down to give you sweet-smelling black leaf mould in one to two years tim.

As the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler the focus on your vegetable plot starts to turn from growing and harvesting, into clearing and tidying.

October is a good month for taking stock of how things have gone this year and starting to make plans for what you will grow in the future.

Removing spent crops exposes slugs and other such pests to birds and other garden friendly wildlife. It also gives you the chance to look after your soil and assess how the space will be used next. Crop rotation is important so if the space is to remain bare over winter it may be wise to make notes about what grew where this season.

Add matter from your compost heap to newly cleared areas, either digging it in, or leaving a layer on the top where the worms will gradually incorporate it into the deeper soil over winter. If the soil is heavy leaving it bare will enable frosts to help break it up. Our soil is lighter and benefits from being covered over - we use flattened cardboard boxes which protect from the rain (and we’ve all had enough of that lately!), and

also help keep the weeds at bay.

You may think that it’s all too late in the year to be planting, but there are some crops that definitely need to be thought of now, and others that, given an early start now, will benefit next Spring.

If you’ve not grown garlic before, then do try it - it’s easy to grow, can help protect other crops from pests, and with just a small amount of space you can grow enough to see you through the whole year! Now is definitely the time to order your garlic bulbs and they can be planted anytime between now and Christmas, but preferably not when the soil is too wet. Rather than planting all the garlic together it may pay to spread it around the plot as the strong smell can be an aid in keeping pests such as the carrot root fly away from other crops.

Each garlic bulb should be separated into individual cloves and the cloves are planted with the pointed end uppermost, just below the surface, leaving about 4 inches between each one. They like well drained soil and you’ll be pleasantly surprised in the long winter days to see their green tips creeping upwards. Each clove matures into a whole new bulb. The traditional time for harvesting garlic is in June, on the longest day of the year and if properly dried and stored it will keep right through the winter.

Would you like some fresh, tender, young, peas early in the Spring next year? Look out for hardy varieties that can be planted now. They can be overwintered and are able to withstand the frosts, though protection with a cloche will be appreciated. We will be starting ours in pots to keep in the polytunnel over winter ready for early planting next season.

Full steam ahead for thirty year celebrations at Moors Valley Railway

Seventeen engines in full steam led the 30-year celebrations at Moors Valley Railway on 17 and 18 September as hundreds of people turned out to experience the enduring appeal of the south’s longest, fully signalled, narrow gauge 7¼ steam railway.

The last 30 years have seen the Moors Valley Railway carry over three million passengers around its mile-long track. The special anniversary gala weekend of steam featured 10 trains, carrying both passengers and freight. It also paid tribute to the railway’s unique history with a photographic timeline, and offered the opportunity to sneak a peek behind the scenes at the work currently underway building and maintaining all the engines and rolling stock.

Sapper, the first engine to run on the Moors Valley Railway in 1986.

Based at Moors Valley Country Park near Ringwood, the Moors Valley Railway is a family run business that has delighted over 3 million passengers since it opened in 1986.

Its special events programme includes the ever-popular Santa Specials which this year run on 10 and 11 and 17 and 18 December.

Trains run every weekend, all school holidays and daily from June to mid September. For more information go to www.moorsvalleyrailway.co.uk or call 01425 471415.

Money Saving Tips

Martin

LEWIS 2YHUGUDIWV

Debit cards can be debt cards too. The competition watchdog’s set out plans to cap fees for busting your overdraft limit. This should help, but don’t wait. Overdrafts are a debt like any other, and the key is to cut the rate, repay faster and avoid any penalties.

Most people’s overdrafts aren’t huge. My snap Twitter poll found 46% are under £250.

Yet even then fees can be horrid. With some accounts, a constant £200 overdraft would cost you £365/yr. So even if you only dip in, you need to sort them. Here are my top ten things you need to know.

1. Get PAID £100 to get a 0% overdraft. Best for overdrafts under c. £500 www.Firstdirect.com has won every customer service poll I’ve ever done, and 89% of its overdrawn customers rate it ‘great’. It offers accepted new switchers £100 (paid within around 28 days) – that’ll clear some of your overdraft to start with.

Then for the remainder it gives a standard £250 interest-free overdraft (above £250, but within your limit, it’s 15.9% EAR, still relatively cheap).

It’s a clear winner for those with overdrafts that never go over £350, and still likely best even if you owe a little more but intend to clear it.

Do you qualify? You need to pay in at least £1,000/mth (equivalent to £13,100 salary) to get the bonus and ensure there’s no fee. Like all banks, First Direct does a credit check when you apply.

2. Free £150 bank switch bonus. Best for those who just dip into their overdraft If at the end of the month you occasionally slip into overdraft, www.co-operativebank.co.uk (70% rate it ‘great’) is a decent alternative. It

currently gives an £150 switching bonus.

If that’s enough to clear your overdraft so you needn’t touch it again, it’s an easy win especially as you can also get up to £5.50/mth on its Everyday Rewards scheme (you need to fulfil some criteria). If not, its authorised overdraft is 18.9% EAR, not bad for small amounts, but the bigger it gets, the costlier.

Do you qualify? You’ll need to pay in at least £800/mth (equivalent to £9,850 salary) and switch at least four direct debits to get the £150 bonus.

3. Switch to 12 month 0% bank. Good for those with Bigger overdrafts.

New customers with www.nationwide.co.uk’s FlexDirect (77% rate it ‘great’) get a year’s fee-free overdraft. There’s no set limit – it depends on credit score – but anecdotally its limits are decent (if you pass the credit score), as mattboliver tweeted me: “@martinslewis Matched my old one - £1,200. Implied I could have asked for more, but the point was I wanted to pay off.”

After a year, it’s 50p/day, less than other accounts charging daily fees, but even so, use that time to budget to clear the overdraft debt.

Nationwide doesn’t require a min pay-in for its 0% overdraft, but you need pay in £1,000/mth if you want its 5% in-credit interest (equivalent to £13,100 salary).

4. You can SHIFT overdrafts to special 32mth 0% credit cards too A few specialist money-transfer cards let you pay cash into your bank to pay off your overdraft, then you owe them instead. This is useful for big overdrafts.@MoneySavingExpert

To advertise in The Ferndown & West Parley Directory, please call: 01202 894397

57 My top pick is www.virginmoney.com, which gives accepted customers 32mths 0% for a one-off 1.69% fee (min £3) of the amount shifted. Need longer? www.tescobank.com is 40mths 0%, but with a higher 3.94% fee.

2YHUGUDIWV Always follow the Money Transfer Golden Rules: a) These are special cards. Most don’t allow this, so be careful. There’s step-by-step help in my full money transfers guide at www. moneysavingexpert.com /moneytransfers. b) Always repay the monthly minimum or you’ll lose the 0% deal. c) Plan to clear by the end of the 0% period or they jump to the full rate, 20.9% and 20.6% rep APR. 5. Bank-charge reclaiming isn’t dead - ‘I got £865 in unfair bank charges back’ Overdraft charges for busting your credit limit are the only thing that give payday loans competition for cost. With fees of up to £6/ day or £15/transaction, they can mount up to £100s or £1,000s a year.

Reports of the death of bank-charge reclaiming have been exaggerated. It can still be done, though now you need to be in financial hardship to claim. Full step-by-step help and template letters at www.moneysavingexpert. com/reclaim Claire emailed: “I’ll get 6 years of charges back and a goodwill £70 on top... total £865. Thanks Martin.”

6. Shift your direct debits to minimise fees.

Ask companies you pay to shift your direct debits to just before you’re paid. So if you’re paid on the 25th, aim for the 20th. This artificially boosts your balance, so you’re in the red for less time, meaning fewer charges – but budget carefully and don’t forget those bills are coming.

7. Manage your way back into credit.

Do a money makeover, checking everything you spend money on to see if you’re overspending

Martin

LEWIS

such as energy, insurance, phone, broadband and more. Many can save £1,000s. Then do a detailed budget and stick to it. Full help to do this at www.moneysavingexpert.com/ moneymakeover 8. Compare overdraft debt rate to the other debt, repay highest interest first.

If you’ve multiple debts, write a list of what you owe, then see which costs most, adding up interest and fees for true costs.

If your overdraft ’s the most expensive, make minimum payments on all other debts, and focus on using incoming cash to clear that. If it’s not the costliest, stay in your overdraft (but never bust your limit) and use spare cash to pay as much off the costliest as you can. Once the most expensive debt is cleared, you’re ready to tackle the next, and so on.

9. Savings usually pay you less than an overdraft costs.

A £1,000 overdraft costing £20/mth equals £240/yr, but the same in easy-access savings earns a paltry £15 at best. So repay debt with savings and you’re £225 per £1,000 up each year. You may think: “But I’ll have no savings if the boiler packs up or the roof falls in.” True, but if an emergency strikes, you can go back into overdraft and you’ll be no worse off.

10. Struggle to control spending? Shift to a nooverdraft account.

Basic bank accounts provide a no-frills, nooverdraft current account service. So clear your current overdraft and you could move to one.

They used to charge fees if you spent more than you had, eg, for unpaid direct debits, but since January those have stopped. If you spend when you’ve not got money, it’ll still be rejected, but now there’s no charge.

Options include www.barclays.co.uk Cash Card and www.co-opbank.co.uk Cashminder account.. @MoneySavingExpert

Tastes so good...

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

As the temperature drops, we find ourselves wanting more easy to make, comfort food. Not only is this dish simple to create is also tastes delicious. Perfect for quiet Autumn nights in.

Ingredients for 12 servings 1 medium onion (chopped) ½ cup of ketchup ¼ cup of packed brown sugar ¼ cup of tomato paste 2tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/3 cup of cider vinegar 2tbp. sweet paprika 1 ½ tsp. Salt 1 ¼ tsp. ground black pepper 4lb boneless pork shoulder 12 buns or ciabatta rolls

Equipment: Large slow-cooker, large bowl, forks Method: Mix together the onion, ketchup, brown sugar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, paprika, mustard and then add the salt and the pepper. Once you have done this, pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker pot and add the pork, making sure to also coat it in sauce.

Pop the lid on top of the slow cooker and cook the pork. Do this on a low setting (one which the manufacturer recommends).

Cook until the pork is tender for between 8-10 hours.

When it is finally cooked, move the pork from the slow cooker into a large bowl. Change the temperature setting on the cooker to ‘high’, cover the pot and then cook the sauce. Do this until boiling point is reached to make the mixture thicker.

Pull the pork apart into shreds (you can use 2 forks for this). Then put the shredded pork back into the slow cooker, mixing it into the sauce. Cover once again and cook on high.

Finally, once warmed through, spoon mixture into buns and serve.
