Post Christmas Financial Blues?

It’s around this time that the credit card statements land on our doorsteps and we realise how much we actually spent over Christmas and the New Year. For a lot of us, the reality is that we can no longer afford to pay the credit card bills and loans in full as and when they fall due.

So, what to do? Well, there are a number of measures you can take to avoid your credit history being ruined or impaired.

Do a Budget – make a full list of your income and expenditure and identify where all your money goes.

Be honest with yourself. Cut out some or all of the unessential expenditure. You may have some tough choices to make.

Shop Around – you might be able to get cheaper rates on your credit cards, loans, insurances and mortgages, or cheaper gas and electric, (or consider a meter for utilities such as water).

Get Advice - If you’ve cut expenditure to the minimum and still have more expenditure than income, or if you’re considering cancelling important financial planning payments such as life insurance, income protection or pension contributions, then you should seek independent debt advice immediately.

You may have heard about various debt solutions such as Debt Management Plans, Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA’s), Debt Relief Orders and Bankruptcy, There are also similar solutions for limited companies that are experiencing financial problems. Information on all these solutions is available on our website www.debt-advice-blackpool.co.uk Tim Johnson is a Managing Partner of Debt Advice Blackpool, a free Debt Advice Service for Blackpool and the Fylde. He is also a professionally qualified Financial Adviser and Mortgage Broker

WHY YOU DON’T HAVE TIME NOT TO EXERCISE by health & fitness expert Pam Tribick.

As well as teaching fun and friendly classes Pam is a highly qualified Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer and Sports and Remedial Massage Practitioner.

As we get older, balance and co-ordination skills decrease, strength, endurance and flexibility become limited and ease of movement more difficult.

If you would like further details or an informal chat with Pam, please

The risk of falls, injury and age related disease increases significantly.

This is compounded in older adults who have an inactive lifestyle.

However, the good news is that this can be improved at any age and studies show that not only is exercise safe for the more mature, the less mobile or out of shape, it can also have long-term health benefits.

It can reduce the risk of developing some diseases and disabilities that develop as people grow older, it can for e.g.: prevent or help control type 2 diabetes protect against brittle bones, i.e. osteoporosis reduce the risk of developing heart disease reduce the risk of developing some cancersK..to name but a few.

Regular, moderate exercise will also help: promote weight loss / prevent weight gain ease of movement improve balance and co-ordination improve sleep strengthen your immune system Studies suggest that following a more active lifestyle is one of the healthiest things you can do to maintain or improve your independence, quality and enjoyment of life.

Classes in particular can also be a great way to socialise and make new friends whilst reaping the benefits of enjoyable exercise.

In addition, exercise increases energy levels. Don't believe me? Try it! You'll be pleasantly surprised.

As well as teaching fun and friendly classes Pam is a highly qualified Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer and Sports and Remedial Massage Practitioner.

LINK-Sport Thornton Cleveleys Leapfrog Fleetwood to take Top Spot!

Thornton Cleveleys FC moved into top spot of the Sports 360 West Lancashire League Division 1 with another goal fest at New Bourne Park. Croston were the visitors on a very cold day in December but goals from Frankland, Bailey, Smith, Warwick, and Perkes only added to Croston misery. Manager John Mendonca was full of praise for his squad which has been dogged by a number of injuries of late. TCFCs game on the 19th fell foul to the weather and we had to wait until January 2nd to welcome visitors Fleetwood Hesketh Bank. After a treacherous journey from Southport the visitors found themselves 2-0 down in the first half and then the 3rd killed the game off before a late reply made the score line more respectable Pete Borrowdale grabbed a double with Paul Bailey getting on the score sheet as well. This was TCFCs 5th win on the trot and it catapulted them to the top of the table. An away win on Jan 24th saw them maintain their lofty position winning 1 -3 against local rivals Norcross and Warbreck with Frankland, Smith and that man Bailey on the score sheet again “The place is buzzing at the moment” said manager John Mendonca “The lads are playing very good football its nice on the eye and I’m delighted to see more and more supporters come down on match day despite the weather to support the team”
