I absolutely dread doing the company accounts. I don’t have a good grasp of numbers, so I have always tried to ignore my least favourite time when the tax returns have to be done So I concluded that I would ask Tax Advice Grimsby for their help. The accountancy firm’s tax advice and tax planning services means I can finally forget about tax returns. Read the rest of this entry »
My husband suffers from a rare medical condition and has found it very difficult to find travel insurance in the past to cover him.
We had stayed in Britain since his condition had been diagnosed, and we hadn’t even strayed very far away from Hull where we live.
But he really wanted to be there when our granddaughter got married in Cyprus in May. Read the rest of this entry »
When my husband and I finally retired, we decided to plan a long-haul trip to South America to celebrate.
We had always dreamed of travelling there, but family and work commitments had always stopped us going before then.
The only thing I was worried about was the travel insurance as my husband had a few mild health problems. I knew that the premiums shot up when you were older and any medical condition could mean even more costly travel insurance. Read the rest of this entry »
I work at a small Co-Op in Hull. It’s really close to where I live and I have met some great friends there. Last week I had a nasty fall at work. The floor had been mopped but no signs had been put up. I walked down an aisle to help a customer when I slipped and banged my head on the side of a shelf. I thought it would be okay but the next day I had a horrific black eye and bruised face. My friend suggested that I look up Personal Injury in Hull on the internet. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve been working as a model for an online fashion retailer in Hull for six months now. Since being young, modelling has always been a passion of mine and finally getting to pursue it is a dream come true.
My friends and family weren’t convinced about modelling and the somewhat stigma that sometimes surrounds it. But, I’m a firm believer that in this day and age if an opportunity arises, you have to grab it with both hands. So here I am!
Next week is my first working visit to London promoting the latest swimwear collection for our new summer collection. I’m so excited to go but a little nervous about the concept of standing practically naked in front of a bunch of people I hardly know!
So, I felt that a little TLC and a confidence boost were in order and decided to get booked in for a Brazilian Wax in London. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s come to that time of the year when arguments begin in the homes about the contentious issue the heating! There’s often a camp wanting to have the heating on and a second camp campaigning to save money. One friend I have (male, of course) who fitted a thermostat that was pretend and hid the actual thermostat where only he had access! It’s often around now that boilers start breaking down. This is when we require a reliable boiler repairs company. For this house that’s Boiler Repairs in Grimsby. Read the rest of this entry »
When the children went to university, we finally decided to transform the playroom or family room as we called it into a lovely grown-up conservatory.
I wanted a room in the house where we could relax with a drink at the end of the day, looking out into my partner’s beautiful garden.
I was so desperate to replace the old lino. I’d heard about travertine tiles and thought they’d make the perfect flooring.
We quickly searched the internet for brushed travertine tiles and tumbled travertine tiles which would give a nice rough antique look to the floor. We also found French pattern travertine, which would give us a really nice, seemingly random-looking pattern. Read the rest of this entry »
I have ran a few bars within the Yorkshire regions now for some time. I love the lively night scenes and the buzz from providing on trend, varied entertainment.
I am however becoming increasingly concerned at the number of crimes being committed within the bar and club scene. Just in the past month alone, the number of alcohol related incidents in my bar have increased by fifty per cent. Read the rest of this entry »
The rise of CCTV Security Systems in Hull and other cities across the UK has seen a definite increase over the past few years.
You may have seen the controversy in the media surrounding CCTV Security Systems and their benefits but whether Big Brother style or not, the cameras certainly play a significant role in reducing crime on the streets. Read the rest of this entry »
So Humber Business Week is back in town, which kicks off Monday 7 June 2010.
Over 7,000 came to Business Week last year – not bad, not bad.
Two events have caught my eye for 2010;
