			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After much soul searching my wife and I have decided to divorce.  It hasn&#8217;t been an easy decision but we agree that it will be the best thing for both of us, and, in the long run, the children too.  There is so much to consider now that the decision has been made it was time to consult a family solicitor.  I have consulted <a href="http://www.familysolicitorshull.co.uk">www.familysolicitorshull.co.uk</a> and they have been fantastic.<span id="more-411"></span></p>
<p>They have helped me look at all the different aspects involved in getting divorced and have really simplified everything for me.  I know it is going to cost us money, but it will be an amicable process &#8211; I hope, and it will be the best thing to do in the long term.  I would certainly recommend seeking professional legal help as there is a lot to think about and it can be a very emotional time when you need a third party to help and guide you.</p>
<p>We have spoken to the children: which was by far the hardest part, and I am hopeful that we can make the divorce as painless as possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A new milkshake bar has just opened in our local town of Hull and my two children love it.  They have started going there with friends.  The only problem is that it is costing me a fortune, so I had the bright idea to start making milkshakes at home.  I have some great kitchen <a href="http://www.go-electrical.co.uk/small-appliances/blenders.html"><strong>blenders</strong></a> and they make the perfect milkshakes.<span id="more-407"></span></p>
<p>My children are very excited to have milkshakes at home and they have started asking for specific flavours.  It’s great because Mum and Dad get to try them too.  The downside is that their friends have now found out about a new milkshake bar and it’s back to costing me a fortune!</p>
<p>Still, at least I know they are getting plenty of milk inside them and we are having fun thinking of new flavours.  Thankfully I invested in some good quality kitchen <a href="http://www.go-electrical.co.uk/small-appliances/blenders.html"><strong>blenders</strong></a>.  They are certainly getting plenty of use.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have recently bought some new business premises in Hull.  They are somewhat run-down, which is why I got them for such a good price.  I have a vision for the premises, which should be amazing once complete.  However, I am no architect and I now need an architect to help me turn my vision into a reality.  A networking contact has put me in touch with <a href="http://www.charteredarchitectshull.co.uk">www.charteredarchitectshull.co.uk</a><span id="more-404"></span></p>
<p>I have looked at projects completed by <a href="http://www.charteredarchitectshull.co.uk">www.charteredarchitectshull.co.uk</a> and am very impressed.  The company has the right kind of approach to architecture for my vision and, after talking to the team, I have decided to give the work to them.  I am very excited about this project as it will create a great building that will enhance the area and also employment for local people.  I have big plans for my business and it&#8217;s great that things are starting to happen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We’re all guilty of either missing or being too late in cancelling an appointment with a <a href="http://www.city-visitor.com/hull/dentists.html" target="_blank">dentist in Hull</a> or <a href="http://www.city-visitor.com/hull/doctors.html" target="_blank">doctor in Hull</a>, but I do always try and make sure I give them a call to rearrange. It’s just manners, and the fact that you are wasting people’s time, never mind money.</p>
<p>That’s why it’s pretty shocking to find out the amount of cash East Yorkshire hospital appointment cancellations are costing the NHS.</p>
<p>An article in the <a href="http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk" target="_blank">Hull Daily Mail</a> claims that 60,000 people will have missed appointments by the coming March if trends continue, and that will equate to £6.5 million!</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/CALLS-SAVE-NHS-163-6-5m/article-2997809-detail/article.html" target="_blank">Hull and East Riding Hospital Trust</a> has to make savings of £94million anyway over the next 5 years.</p>
<p>The Trust has said that they do of course take into consideration that people cannot make it in at times, or have been unable to let them know for genuine reasons, but its unlikely that the majority of these missed appointments are down to such circumstances – certainly not 60,000 people.</p>
<p>Let’s all save us a little bit of money and make sure we’re on the ball in 2011.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s certainly a white winter. Schools across the country are closing their doors, leaving the country littered with children in bobble hats and snowman constructions on every street corner.</p>
<p>As is to be expected, they’re having the time of their lives treating passersby to a snowball or two and sliding down hills in dustbin lids. It really does make me wish I was back at school – or not at school as the case may be!</p>
<p>You only have to turn on the TV or open the newspaper to see that the country is in panic and the <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/336">winter weather </a>is causing chaos.</p>
<p>But when I read an article in the<a href="http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/BEATING-BIG-FREEZE/article-2950654-detail/article.html"> Hull Daily Mail </a>about the hard working people of <a href="http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/">Hull</a> I was very proud. Not to be defeated they are making every effort to ensure that the frosty conditions and a little bit of the white cold stuff doesn’t stop the world from moving round.</p>
<p>They kept things business as usual, despite the heavy snow, ensuring communities were looked after<strong>,</strong> <a href="http://www.city-visitor.com/hull/nursinghomes.html">Hull care homes </a>were tended to and <a href="http://www.city-visitor.com/hull/schools.html">Hull schools</a> were opened. They also cleared snow from roads and carried out shopping for elderly residents.</p>
<p>Even the <a href="http://www.city-visitor.com/hull/deliveryservices.html">Hull postmen</a> managed to brave the frost and deliver the post – not sure I’d be able to do that myself!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Hull chiropodists or podiatrists]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have to say, for us girls there’s nothing worse than wearing that gorgeous pair of heels, or sandals, only to show off unkempt feet.</p>
<p>I actually love a good pedicure and you can always keep your feet in tip top condition by taking a trip to a local <a href="http://www.city-visitor.com/hull/chiropodists.html">chiropodist or podiatrist in hull </a>– but when I read an article about this new craze of fish friendly foot care I was intrigued.</p>
<p>Obviously,  it’s hardy the most normal of sights to see on a typical visit, three ladies sat in a row with their feet each in a fish tank – but that’s what you should expect  if you were to visit ‘Fab Foot Spa’ in Hull.</p>
<p>Visitors dip their feet into two fish tanks, containing around 150 little swimmers, where they nibble away at all the hard skin for around 15 minutes.</p>
<p>The Hull Daily Mail news<a href="http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/news/Feet-nibbling-fish-reeling-customers/article-2902280-detail/article.html"> article</a> discusses how students from <a href="http://www2.hull.ac.uk/">Hull University</a> were the first to try out the new treatment and I must admit, they certainly look happy in the photo – although I hope you would with 300 fish tickling you feet….</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My electrical business was really taking off a while ago and the work we were getting in was far too much for me and my three colleagues.</p>
<p>I didn’t know any other electricians who would be able to put me in touch with people who could take on some more work and, to be honest, my company had built up such a good reputation I wanted to know I was getting good people for the job.</p>
<p><span id="more-381"></span></p>
<p>I went to <a href="http://www.technicaljobshull.co.uk/">www.technicaljobshull.co.uk</a> as my first port of call as I thought the company would be able to put me in touch with some good candidates, which they did.</p>
<p>I now have a team of ten and the business is expanding every day.</p>
<p>Using an agency like <a href="http://www.technicaljobshull.co.uk/">www.technicaljobshull.co.uk</a> takes the stress out of finding new employees as they match your needs to the skills of the people they have on their books looking for work.</p>
<p>It meant that I got staff who I knew I could trust and who I knew were skilled enough to take on the jobs that I needed them to do.</p>
<p>Now my company is thriving thanks to my new employees. I would definitely use <a href="http://www.technicaljobshull.co.uk/">www.technicaljobshull.co.uk</a> again to look for staff.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A girl’s wedding day is the biggest and most exciting day of their lives. Fact.</p>
<p>And possibly the most exciting part of the day is the dress. Well, the dress and the shoes and the veil and the jewellery and everything else which goes towards making the bride the most important part of the day.</p>
<p>When my boyfriend proposed six months ago I was the happiest girl in the world. My best friend and I immediately began scouring the internet and magazines looking for the perfect dress for both of us.</p>
<p><span id="more-379"></span></p>
<p>I was at work one day when my friend sent me with the link to <a href="http://www.bridalwearhull.co.uk/">www.bridalwearhull.co.uk</a> with the email title “This is it!” I was bursting with excitement.</p>
<p>The dress was perfect. On the picture it looked like just the right mix of fairytale princess and grown-up elegance. It was exactly what I’d been looking for.</p>
<p>We were practically bouncing down the streets of Hull when we went to look at the dress at <a href="http://www.bridalwearhull.co.uk/">www.bridalwearhull.co.uk</a> and we weren’t disappointed when we saw it. In fact, we both cried. We were inconsolable when I tried it on, and I knew my fiancé would love it as well, which made it all the better.</p>
<p>In a brilliant stroke of luck we also managed to find a bridesmaid dress for my friend in the same shop, and the colour of the sash matched the bit of colour on my dress perfectly.</p>
<p>I know we’ll both look beautiful on my wedding day.</p>
<p>I’ve already met the man of my dreams and will be marrying him in the dress of my dreams, hopefully my friend’s gorgeous outfit will help her bump into Mr Right on my big day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have never looked forward to completing the business accounts. I can&#8217;t say I have a brain for maths, so I have always tried to forget my most hated time when the tax returns must be dealt with. So I came to the decision to ask <a href="http://www.taxadvicehull.co.uk">Tax Advice Hull</a> to help me. Their tax advice and tax planning services will mean that I can forget about tax returns.<span id="more-372"></span></p>
<p>A friend of mine also realised that it must stop. With all the effort that she spends doing her tax accounts (not very well!), she could end the stress and get a qualified accountant to do the work instead. She said to me that she thought it seemed ridiculous that we had been doing the tax returns by our own fair hands when for years we could have had <a href="http://www.taxadvicechesterfield.co.uk">Tax Advice Chesterfield</a> doing the accounts for us!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not just us girls who struggle with their tax returns. My brother chose to get in touch with <a href="http://www.taxadvicelincoln.co.uk">Tax Advice Lincoln</a> for their help. He said he was at once reassured by the company&#8217;s excellent service and professionalism. He said that they treated his tax returns almost as if they were their own accounts, and he believed that he had made the best choice possible.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are at that time of year when arguments are starting in homes about the highly contentious issue of the central heating! More often than not there&#8217;s a camp wanting the heating on and a second group doing all they can to keep it off. One friend I have (a man) who installed a pretend thermostat and hid the real thermostat only to be changed by him! It&#8217;s often around this time of year that boilers start to falter. That&#8217;s when we require a reliable boiler repairs company. For me that&#8217;s <a href="http://www.boilerrepairshull.co.uk">Boiler Repairs in Hull</a>.<span id="more-363"></span></p>
<p>It is important for you to select a boiler repair company that can offer qualified boiler repair professionals. You may need boiler repairs or combi boiler spares. A friend had issues with their boiler and was ages selecting the best company for <a href="http://www.boilerrepairsguildford.co.uk">Boiler Repairs in Guildford</a>. It made sure they enjoyed the optimum service.</p>
<p>I was talking to a relative yesterday and they told me they were experiencing boiler problems. I was quick to suggest <a href="http://www.boilerrepairspreston.co.uk">Boiler Repairs in Preston</a>. Our boiler in now functioning and we are a very contented household now! The boiler repairs that were undertaken have resulted in our old boiler becoming super efficient. The husband is happy and I get to have the heating on so everyone wins!</p>
