I've been an avid reader for a long time. When I started school and we were finally given the privilege of borrowing books from the school library, I didn't really know where to begin. So I started at one end of the library and worked my way around to the other, picking anything that looked interesting. From mythology to sports, and Sue Barton to Winnie The Pooh; I loved it all. Thus, I developed a rather eclectic taste in books. My first public library card opened yet another door to a wider range of books. At university, I'd wander through the stacks of the main library on the pretext of studying with my boyfriend - never mind that I should have been in the Health Sciences library! The only time I took a brief hiatus from reading was when my children were very young. And even then, that wasn't entirely true. Instead of reading for myself, I read to them and with them. I also read all the latest baby development books I could get my hands on. Now, I love to browse bookstores and used book sales. My shelves are overflowing, but there's always room for one more book. You'll still find me poking my nose into libraries and over people's shoulders to see what they're reading.

Rural Dorset offers the perfect 'getaway' break into the countryside, together with a range of outdoor leisure pursuits, from gentle country walks and fishing to cycling, horse riding and golf.

Take your pick from the choice available: rambles along the scenic and gently meandering Stour and Avon Valley Ways, the open chalk downland byways of the Cranborne Chase, the numerous footpaths and viewpoints of the Blackmore Vale, or the majestic woodlands on the fringes of the New Forest.
With such glorious scenery and open countryside, horse riding is a popular pastime and a wide range of establishments cater for all abilities. There are also many opportunities for fly or coarse fishing in high quality streams and rivers or one of many well-stocked lakes.
A number of excellent local courses offer visiting golfers a “pay and play option”; Moors Valley, for example, has 18 picturesque holes set amongst lakes and woodland. Moors Valley Country Park also offers a number of delightful off-road cycle routes to explore, with bike hire available. Plenty of other, more challenging on-road cycling is available on the North Dorset Cycleway.
So take the bait and enjoy a “leisurely” break in East Dorset!

Tackling pester power
Pester power is just a fancy description of when children and young people are desperate for the new fad and want mum and dad to pay out for - often pretty expensive - toys, clothes and trainers and don’t stop asking until they get it.

Companies have realised how powerful children and young people are as consumers. Many marketing and advertising campaigns aggressively target children and young people. Every season, especially Christmas, new toys and gadgets come onto the market and many children and young people want to get their hands on it.

Although it doesn’t feel like it at times, you as the parent are the most valuable resource for your child and any creative time you spend together is worth more than anything you buy. Even if you work, which leaves you with less time, think ‘quality time’ and do something you both enjoy.

It can feel good to spoil your child with expensive gifts but cost is a great consideration for most parents, as is keeping limitations on how much you treat your children, so how do you manage your child’s demands and expectations?.

Be assured that other parents are struggling with pester power too. You certainly are not the only one who can't afford everything on the wish list!

Dear Agony Aunt

 

I am hoping you can help me. My husband and I split up 6 months ago and up until now he has been paying the mortgage on our house which I still live in.  Last week he told me that he can no longer pay for me to live here and I cannot afford to keep the mortgage on on my own.  I should tell you that we live in the UK.


 
I am really worried because it is close to Christmas and as you must know people aren't looking to buy houses much at this time of year.  If neither of us can pay the mortgage then chances are we could get repossessed and the house sold for much less than what it is worth. 
I know the house will sell for a good price but what are we going to do because no one is buying houses at the moment and we really need someone to buy our house quickly?  Do you know if there is any way we can get a quick sale of our home?

I wish there was someone out there who could offer us a quick cash sale, we could get our debts paid off, I could find myself a nice little flat to rent nearer to my place of work, and things would be so much simpler. Going through a divorce is bad enough, without losing all the hard earned cash we have tied up in our property.


If we sell our house quickly we can both move on with our lives. Our split was fairly amicable but I can see things turning nasty if we have too many money worries, the last thing we want is huge solicitor's bills, legal fees, etc.
I have tried the Estate Agents locally and it just seems there are more houses than buyers at the moment and also they want some extortionate house selling fees!  I thought about advertising the property privately but I am worried about strangers coming around the house and realising I am living here on my own.
I feel like I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment.  If only someone could wave a magic wand and make all these worries go away, any advice would be much appreciated.

Stress is a natural part of life. The expressions are familiar to us, “I’m stressed out,”  “I’m under too much stress,” or “Work is one big stress.”

Stress is hard to define because it means different things to different people; however, it’s clear that most stress is a negative feeling rather than a positive feeling.

Stress can be both physical and mental.

You may feel physical stress which is the result of too much to do, not enough sleep, a poor diet or the effects of an illness. Stress can also be mental: when you worry about money, a loved one’s illness, retirement, or experience an emotionally devastating event, such as the death of a spouse or being fired from work.

However, much of our stress comes from less dramatic everyday responsibilities. Obligations and pressures which are both physical and mental are not always obvious to us. In response to these daily strains your body automatically increases blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, metabolism, and blood flow to you muscles. This response, is intended to help your body react quickly and effectively to a high-pressure situation.

However, when you are constantly reacting to stressful situations without making adjustments to counter the effects, you will feel stress which can threaten your health and well-being.

It is essential to understand that external events, no matter how you perceive those events which may cause stress. Stress often accompanies the feeling of “being out of control.”
