MISS MOP • 13

The January ‘Spruce Up’ With the Christmas deccies back in the attic, now is the perfect time to give your house a new year spruce-up in preparation for lighter, brighter days.

Whether it’s a good freshen-up or an act of major de-cluttering, you certainly don’t have to wait until daffodils bloom to get cracking on a spring clean – now couldn’t be a better time.

Here we offer some tips to clear away all evidence of the festivities before your attention turns to the garden: • S till getting those pine needles caught between your toes?

If your hoover attachment isn’t up the job, wrap a piece of strong sticky tape around your fingers and pat over the edges of your carpets & flooring to pick them up.

• F or red wine stains on carpets or upholstery, mix one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water. Use a clean white cloth to sponge the stain with the solution, pat with a dry cloth and repeat until the stain vanishes.

Always test a small area first.

•C obwebs are likely to be more visible than usual, especially if you have an open fire. If you don’t have a hoover attachment, use a rubber band to secure an old sock to the handle end of a broomstick.

•M ake way for your new Christmas gifts by being ruthless in getting rid of old clothes and toys. There are plenty of charities that would welcome them.

•G ive your home a thorough vacuum – including under sofa cushions where you are guaranteed to find a hoard of sweet wrappers and behind furniture where you will undoubtedly retrieve a bauble or two!

Of course, if you haven’t got the time or inclination to don the rubber gloves, consider calling in the professionals. Miss Mop will happily provide you with a quote. Call 01903 444266 or email us at info@missmop.net

LIZ ANSCOMBE PERSONAL TRAINING • 15

LIZ ANSCOMBE PERSONAL TRAINING Having a personal trainer changed my life.

Most of my life I struggled with my weight. I ate reasonably well and thought I was pretty active but I still never seemed capable of setting realistic goals or staying consistent with exercise long enough to see results. That was until I decided to enlist the help of a personal trainer.

I have lost 2 stone so far and have become the fittest I have ever been. I am more motivated and committed to my wellbeing and reaching goals that I never thought possible.

I found running so hard in the beginning and to run whilst carrying extra weight was really tough. Within 8 weeks I ran my first 10k and have never looked back!!

I was so inspired by what I had achieved with my personal trainer that I decided I wanted to do the same for others. SO I GOT QUALIFIED! I am now a qualified Personal Trainer and I continue on my own journey for weight loss whilst helping others to do the same! I want to help people like myself who have struggled with their weight and getting fit and give them the confidence I gained from having a personal trainer!

I’m here with my own personal experience, knowledge and heaps of energy and enthusiasm to help you on this journey. I’m not your typical looking personal trainer. I still have some weight to lose but I’m fit and strong and someone who can actually understand JUST HOW HARD IT CAN BE to lose weight!! You can message me at 9pm telling me how much you want to shove a cheesecake in your mouth and I can talk you out of it – I’ve been there!!

I can help you to stay motivated each week and work with you to build a suitable plan that will fit in with your life and routine. I will create a bespoke programme based on your goals and fitness levels. I can offer advice and support so that you are eating a more nutritionally balanced diet and making sure your body gets what it needs to become stronger and healthier. I can offer sessions at a location that suits you, whether that be at your home, garden, work, or a location outside like your local park.

I live in Upper Beeding but cover all locations in Sussex and surrounding counties. This is personal training for everyone (no minimum fitness required!!).

2018 is the year for a healthier, happier and fitter you!

RECIPE • 23

Wild Mushroom & Sausage

Hot Pot

So as you can clearly see this is no ordinary hot pot with the traditional slices of potato layered on top of a beef stew… firstly I’ve used cubes of potato instead of slices. I love the chunkiness of the finished dish and the fluffy, roasty potatoes reminds me of chips and gravy, a favourite from university days, which is not a bad thing at all. Then the hot pot itself has all the usual seasonal suspects such as onion, carrot and celery along with swede, green beans and some left-over cavolo nero.

I also found a couple of trays of wild mushrooms at our local market so these have gone in too. Of course I’ve also gone fully vegetarian by using some delicious Quorn sausages but any veggie or non veggie sausage will work well here, I just think it’s nice to try and ease back on too much meat in the weeks running up to Christmas and this is such a brilliant meat-free meal with its rich wine gravy and chunky potatoes you really won’t miss the meat.

Ingredients: • 200g wild mushrooms – roughly chopped (I used a mix of mini portobello’s, oyster, ceps and button mushrooms) • 3 cloves garlic – crushed • 1 large white onion – roughly chopped • 3 sticks of celery – roughly chopped • 6 vegetarian sausages – thickly sliced (I used the Quorn ones as they’re nice and firm) • 2 medium carrots – roughly chopped • a handful green beans – roughly chopped • a handful of cavolo nero or cabbage – chopped • 1 glass white wine • 1 litre vegetable stock with 2 added teaspoons Bisto Caramelised Onion gravy powder • 4 or 5 large potatoes – cut into chunky cubes • plenty of butter, olive oil, salt and pepper and fresh herbs of your choice To keep this as a proper ‘one-pot-meal’ I’ve used one large shallow casserole dish with a lid but any casserole dish will work. Place the pan on a gentle heat and melt a large nob of butter with a generous glug of olive oil, add the mushrooms, stir and place the lid on for 6 mins until the mushrooms have softened. Remove the lid, season well with salt and plenty of black pepper, then stir in the garlic and some fresh rosemary and continue heat gently until the mushrooms begin to turn a golden brown – remove from the pan and set aside. Add some more butter and olive oil to the same pan and add the onions and celery and saute gently until beginning to soften, then add the sausages and saute well to give them some colour, then stir in the carrots and swede, followed by the green beans and cabbage and finally the mushrooms. Pour in the wine followed by the stock, place the lid on and turn down the heat to it’s very lowest and let it gently plop away for an hour. Meanwhile, par-boil the potatoes in plenty of water for roughly 5 mins until they’re just soft, then dowse liberally in olive oil and season well, place a lid on and shimmy them up, bashing the potatoes well. Pre-heat the oven to 160C. Once the stew has had roughly an hour, take the lid off and gently scatter the potatoes on top, drizzle more oil on top and place in the oven for a further hour.

Eat and of course, enjoy!
