Hearty gameday choices include blue cheese dip, fried camembert with paprika and parsley, halloumi chips with dukkah, chicken, spring onion and vintage cheddar pizza and smoked cheese and chilli nachos.
So stop off at the chiller section of the supermarket to stock up on quality Mainland cheeses to help craft and create some delicious snacks. Then no matter how your team plays, your friends will go home happy.

A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.

One of those officers is a Secretary, a word that seems to frighten a lot of people as soon as they hear / read it - so please read on!
Really, while we have an official position called Secretary, which, if you wanted to apply, would love to give someone, what we REALLY need, whether you join the Committee or not, is someone / a couple of people to give an hour or so a week to take care of office routine things that involve the internet, using a computer, and the like. Being able to type is pretty useful ! It never involves sales or door knocking or anything of that ilk.
We are totally flexible about the time of day the work gets done, and can operate through all the Clouds there are !! Our office tasks can be broken into discrete task-parcels easily, and we would more more than happy to have you do a set parcel, and find others to do the rest eg we have a Minute Secretary, and hope to have one again. If this could be you, then do let us know, no one is confirmed in the position.
If you are at all looking for somewhere to contribute a little bit of time, perhaps find out a lot of interesting stuff that may help with your own plans for retirement, and meet some awesome volunteers already doing their bit, we'd love to hear from you. You can check us out on our website, and private message me if you wish for more information, or email gpr.miriamruberl@gmail.com

Benefits of Tumeric For Skin: Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, turmeric can work wonders on many skin conditions. It can also help reduce redness from blemishes and calm skin conditions like eczema and rosacea. Turmeric is excellent for acne because it is a natural antiseptic and helps to keep bacteria from spreading.
For Hair: Fungal infections can also cause hair loss. Curcumin, an active ingredient contained in the rhizome of turmeric has anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antioxidant, antiseptic and antibacterial properties that helps treat many conditions of the scalp.
I have long grey hair which can easily go dry if I use the wrong thing so I am a good guinea pig for my hair shampoo bars. Using this soap I'm amazed. No conditioner, no sign of dry ends, and my hair feels amazing.
Probably my new favourite!

1. Customers keep coming back
2. Animals don't lie
Pain Gel has many uses. It has now been around for well over a decade, and sells as fast as we can make it. I am confident it could be helping more people if they a) knew about it and b) realise they can easily give it a try. (Free samples are available when putting an order in, in our online store)

Pain Gel has:
* Peppermint for anti-inflammatory
* Herbs for Healing
* Works on joint and muscle pain, period pain, sciatica etc.
* Continued use can heal nerve damage (numbness)
* Aloe Vera Gel Base
* A little goes a long way
I have lost track of how many times animals I have helped using Pain Gel - ie birds (chickens, budgies) Can't put leg down, leg/foot hot, and because of pain, not eating. Within minutes of applying just a little on the leg/foot, you see improvement and often they start eating again.
For people - one example are my own knees!
For months they were swollen, I couldn't kneel, I was diagnosed with bursitis. After months of accupunture, and still no improvement, I started putting Pain Gel on once or twice a day, and I am happy to report, I can now see my knees again, and I can kneel! I can't promise miracles, but I do know it has helped many people, otherwise I would not still be making it!
120g $30.00

I had a small car accident with another car at Countdown, Fenton Street last Sunday (26/6)... There were quite a few on-lookers at the time of the accident, so I would greatly appreciate if any witnesses could come forward.
My Insurance Company (AA) would like to investigate further, as it may not 'actually' have been my fault (even though I was backing at the time).
I have a red Mazda and I personally believe the blue Subaru didn't see me as I was backing out and drove straight into the back of my car. They didn't stop immediately (as I did) either, as there are marks all along their passenger side (as you can see in the photos).
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who can help.
Many thanks
