In this issue we showcase some fantastic businesses starting with BoilerJuice. If you use oil to heat your home then you will know that finding low prices isn’t always easy. BoilerJuice will search a huge database of local suppliers to find you the best price so you don’t have to find out more on page 4.

Also in the spotlight this month are Forest Edge Accountancy on page 18 and Therapy Courses Training Academy for Beauty, Holistic and Nails on page 22. Both offer quality services in your local area as do all of the businesses inside.

If you love cheese, you’ll be amazed to hear that you can easily make your own mozzarella, ricotta and goat’s cheese in just a couple of hours with Fine Country Fare’s new Cheese Making Kits. They also make the perfect foodie gift for Christmas and are available to order online.

Home - Money Saving Advice

by BoilerJuice

8 EASY WAYS TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR HEATING OIL With over 58,000 homes off the gas grid in Wiltshire, many families in our community use oil to heat their homes. If you’re on oil and looking to make a saving on your next order, check out our useful tips for smart, simple ways to cut down your costs!

1. WATCH THE WEATHER Oil prices typically decline during the spring and summer months because temperatures are high and demand is low.

By topping-up your tank in summer, you can take advantage of these great prices and stay warm in winter for less.

2. COMPARE PRICES You might have a regular supplier, but are they offering you the best price? By shopping around, or using an instant, impartial comparison service such as BoilerJuice, you’ll always get the best quote for your oil.

3. ORDER EARLY By setting a regular reminder, marking it on your calendar or simply planning ahead, you can beat the rush, avoid costly emergency deliveries and take advantage of cheaper delivery options.

4. ADD AN ADDITIVE An inexpensive way to upgrade your fuel, oil additives prevent tank sludge build-up, improve overall efficiency and save

The SP5 Magazine

you money by reducing expensive maintenance costs, operating problems and boiler breakdowns.

5. SIGN UP FOR EMAIL ALERTS The web is full of special offers, vouchers and codes. By signing up to newsletters and email bulletins with independent oil comparison sites such as BoilerJuice, you’ll be the first to know about any seasonal offers, money-off vouchers or price drops.

6. BUY IN BULK Did you know that several small orders of heating oil will generally cost you more than one larger order? Fill-up in one go to cut-down on delivery costs and get a great bulk-buy price.

7. GROUP BUY Buying as a group is the best way to get a discount on your oil, but did you know that you can also do it online? Websites like BoilerJuice automatically group your delivery with others in your area, to help you qualify for group discounts every day of the week.

8. SPREAD THE COST WITH A PAYMENT PLAN While payment schemes often mean an expensive contract with a specific supplier, signing up for a monthly payment plan with an impartial site such as BoilerJuice gives you the ability to spread your oil costs, while guaranteeing you the best quote from a range of suppliers across the UK. To find out how much you can save on your heating oil, call 0800 151 3135 or visit... www.boilerjuice.info

each for your apron and prepare for a slice of the ‘Good Life’ with these fabulously simple Cheese Making Kits recently launched by Fine Country Fare, an exciting new business based near Salisbury.

Their aim is to inspire people to get back to basics in the kitchen and enjoy the experience of creating natural homemade food which easily fits into busy lifestyles.

Kits which are currently on offer include the Italian Cheese Kit which promises fresh mozzarella and ricotta in just 1 hour, and the Goat’s Cheese Kit which makes soft and creamy or tangy and crumbly chèvre, in just 2-3 hours.

Fine Country Fare also plan to add a Children’s Cheese Kit very soon and are currently looking for UK stockists such as farm shops and delicatessens who would be interested in selling their products.

Each kit makes 10 big batches of cheese and provides full instructions and ingredients together with butter muslin and a dairy thermometer. All

you need to do is add the milk. Simply follow the steps and watch your cheese take shape in a very short space of time. It’s a tasty, fun and addictive experience with endless possibilities to customise your cheese by adding various herbs and spices to each batch.

All kits are suitable for beginners and are certain to be a big hit with anyone who is creative and loves cheese! Inspired and refreshingly unique, they also make fantastic gifts and are available to order online.

Helpers on the day included volunteer students from St Edmund’s Girls’ School, Salisbury. The girls helped by serving tea for the residents and decorating fairy cakes.

Located on the outskirts of Salisbury, Laverstock Care Centre is a purpose-built home that provides residential, specialist nursing and dementia care for up to 80 elderly ladies and gentlemen.

The home is run by the familyowned Caring Homes Group, which was founded in 1994 by mother and son team, Helena and Paul Jeffery.
