Have you noticed how many petrol stations have

closed down over the past few years and become hand car

wash centres?

I drove into one recently to fill up my car with fuel and realised something was wrong when I found the pumps had been removed and a bunch of guys arrived with buckets and sponges to start cleaning my car. When I explained that I wanted to “fill up” with fuel, I was told that the pumps had been closed for months!

Many of these closed down filling stations are in town centres where other filling stations are available around the corner, but some of them are in remote places where you could run out of fuel.

Research from Britannia Rescue showed that there are many remote spots in the UK with no petrol stations at all. Some of these spots are popular with day trippers, where motorist who run out of fuel and face a long walk to the nearest station. With petrol costing so much now drivers are going out with little

petrol in their tanks and running on empty without knowing the location of the nearest pump - not a good idea if your favourite garage has closed. Running on empty can also potentially damage your engine.

Amazingly many drivers are also wasting fuel by shopping around in their cars looking for the cheapest fuel. I’ve often been told to drive to a petrol station miles away as the fuel is 2p a litre cheaper even though it would cost me far more in fuel to get there and back.

So if you are one of those drivers that regularly run on empty thinking there will be a garage handy when you run dry then take a can of fuel with you. You might find that garage that you filled up in last time with not be there now!

If you suffer from diabetes or know someone who does, you will know the range of feelings and emotions that is experienced when you

are diagnosed with this very difficult and hidden disease. Most people with diabetes look after themselves as well as they can and take on board all the good advice that professionals like Diabetic Care Nurses give at routine appointments. But some people struggle with the level of self care that is required in order to minimise the impact that this disease can have.

Having diabetes means a lifestyle change that is bound up with the very thing that sustains us – FOOD. It can cause us to feel angry and frustrated whilst in our quieter moments we might feel fearful of the future and the implications of this disease. Or we might just go into denial about the changes that are required of us – a change in our diet, perhaps having to lose weight alongside building in regular gentle exercise and keeping to a rigid medication routine be it tablets or insulin injections.

We are often under pressure from our family, through their own concern for us, to look after ourselves better. The Team looking after ourselves at our GP surgery will also be setting us goals and trying to encourage us to maintain safe blood levels. If we fall below these levels we are often

met with more advice, changes in medication, more blood tests. When these work and we manage to regain and sustain safe blood levels we are praised but more importantly we feel in control of our health for a short time. If this slips again we feel despairing or a failure and this can cause us to feel low and out of control, fearful of the future whilst we try and get on with our daily life.

Research has shown that at least ¼ of all people with diabetes suffer from depression at any one time. The depression is not helped by accompanying fluctuating sugar levels because these fluctuating levels can cause mood changes as we need a relatively stable blood sugar level to maintain our mood levels.

Have you just been diagnosed with ✦✦

diabetes?

Have you been living with diabetes and ✦✦

sometimes feel alone and isolated emotionally?

Do you have a family member who is diabetic ✦✦

and you feel that you or both of you could do with some emotional support to manage diabetes in a way that does not impact so much on your life?

Were you or someone you know diagnosed ✦✦

with diabetes in childhood and developed problems with managing it as you become a teenager or young adult with all the restrictions that diabetes can place on your quality of life as a young person?

Do you or someone you know have the ✦✦

added complication of an eating disorder that has grown out of manipulating insulin in a way that has become harmful to you?

Do you sometimes feel like rebelling or going ✦✦

into a period of denial against all these restrictions?

Are you worried that you have trouble ✦✦

controlling your diabetes and despite the best professional help from your diabetic care team you still feel that it is somehow your fault that you find it difficult to follow advice?

Paramedic Michelle Evans, 30, from Southybourne is going the extra mile by running the London Marathon in April for local charity Compass Counselling, despite her demanding job and the fact that she is due to get married soon.

Michelle works at the ambulance station in Bournemouth for South West Ambulance Service NHS Trust. Despite her busy schedule she hopes to raise £4,000 for the Lymington-based charity, which provides affordable counselling for people who are unhappy, depressed or anxious and need a safe place to talk.

Michelle often works nights and irregular hours, but is training for the marathon with the help of New Forest Runners. She completed the New Forest Half Marathon in 2010 and is also taking part in local running events in preparation for ‘the big one’ on April 22nd.

“The thought of running 26.2 miles is a bit scary, but I’m determined,” said Michelle. “I’’ve been out training with

New Forest Runners three times a week and I sometimes run along the beach to work.

“In my job I come across a surprising number of people who need to talk, but who have no-one to confide in. We increasingly come across people with post traumatic stress disorder or who are stressed or have emotional issues. We all carry our problems around with us but talking about them can be a good outlet. Compass Counselling can help people over the long term and offers confidential and impartial support, so it provides a really useful service. I am pleased to be able to support Compass through running the marathon this year.”

Michelle, who started running to get fit, is getting married to her fiancé Rob Walker in June. Rob also works for the ambulance service and is based in Christchurch.

Anyone who is able to Donate to help Michelle meet her target can do so via the Virgin Money Giving

site – see http://uk.virginmoneygiving.c o m / f u n d r a i s e r - w e b / f u n d r a i s e r /showFundraiserPage.action?userUrl=MichelleforCompassCounselling&faId=175979&isTeam=false.

Compass Counselling is a self-funding charity offering affordable counselling by trained and supervised professional counsellors, with fees based on ability to pay. It is an accredited service of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and of the Westminster Pastoral Foundation network of counselling centres.

The charity is based at Compass House, Gosport Street, Lymington, SO41 9BB, telephone number 01590-674011, website www.compasscounselling.co.uk.

Totton Gazette

We’re coming out of winter and the days are starting to get longer. Thoughts are turning to booking that Summer getaway or even of long sunny Easter days, when we seem to get the best of our weather! The prospect of sitting on the beach in a faraway spot or on the English coast looks highly possible. Soon, it will be time to pack away the big woolly jumpers and get out the summer clothing and beachwear!

If you haven’t already booked a holiday, then planning and looking forward to the annual summer holiday, or any holiday, is a great incentive for getting in shape and there’s lots of time to work on that beach body. An area that troubles a lot of people at the prospect of a beach holiday, is the ‘legs, bums and tums’ area! The thought of having to expose tummy flesh or thighs on the beach or at the poolside causes many people, women especially, to stay under wraps and not to join in with their family, who are having fun splashing about. However, the starting point of any beach holiday workout plan always starts with making dietary changes!

For rapid, yet safe and healthy results, drink lots of water in preference to all other kinds of drinks, replace sugary foods with fruits of all varieties, buy more fish and chicken and grill or steam it (using light seasoning, small amount of olive oil, lemon juice or spices for flavour), try whole beans and pulses, have

eggs a couple of times per week and eat as much salad and vegetables as possible. Limit pasta, bread and potatoes where possible, or halve your portions. Above all, don’t starve! This doesn’t work and is counter-productive.

There’s plenty of time to work on that tummy area with a well-planned abdominal workout and on the lower body in general with good toning exercises, such as squats and lunges, and push-ups for the upper body. There are lots of good ‘legs, bums and tums’ classes, which can be ideal for showing the correct technique and providing inspiration and motivation.

For those who prefer to work out at home, push-ups, lunges and squats bring great results and there are countless number of abdominal exercises that can be changed and adapted in endless ways. A good abdominal programme will include all of the different muscles and it is vital to do so, as working the muscles equally will prevent imbalances in strength and suppleness, which could lead to problems. It is also important to know your abdominal/lower back strength, because working out at the wrong level can lead to injury and no one wants to pull a muscle! It is not usually the exercise that causes the injury, it is performing the exercise incorrectly or at the wrong level that leads either to problems, no result or to giving up.

For those people, who have had any kind of abdominal surgery, any back problems at all, or any other condition affecting the abdominal region, they should firstly see their doctor to check that they can start an abdominal programme and to get clearance and any restrictions or contra-indications. This also applies to pre- and post-natal women. There are many exercises that can be performed for nearly everyone’s situation, but it is important to get a correct diagnosis so that the right programme is followed tailored to that individual. It is especially important for those people with special conditions to get the advice of an exercise professional.

But remember, no amount of sit-ups and crunchies can remove extra abdominal fat and get you ready for the beach holiday– that will only happen with a reduction in calories consumed or an increase in calorie expenditure. What exercise will do is give you a good, strong firm body and the bonus of the many health benefits that come with it!

Surinder Bellamy is a personal trainer and life and performance coach based near Wellow and also covering Salisbury, Romsey and Totton areas. For fitness, weight-loss, nutrition, stress, pre/post natal, lifestyle/behavioural and wedding/holiday goals, she can be contacted by telephone on 01725-511795 or 07763-823699.

A Contemporary RomanceHe was wearing a grey hoodie, and a dab of ‘ Eau de Skate’

He chose a wicked restaurant for our brilliant first date, He ordered two huge hamburgers, with relish and some fries,

And across that plastic table I gazed deep into his eyes When I saw his ‘HATE’ tattoo, I knew I’d found my perfect heaven,

And I got to know him well, from half past ten until eleven. We had to leave quite quickly as his lovely pit bull Clyde,

Was frightening all the customers; and snarling, just outside, He took me for a lovely walk just by the local tip

And there over the council bins, I dropped my bag of chips, We have a brand new baby now, a lovely little boy,

I’ve dressed him in a hoodie and I’m going to name him Troy I know his Dad still loves me but my best mate’s not convinced,

She’s told me I should ask him… but I haven’t seen him since.©Jan Jack 2011

DiaryofaFitnessCentre

Each month we give you a fly on the wall view of day to day events in our award winning centre just outside Romsey!

MondayWe’re still really buzzing here at the centre. Loads of members have worked through Christmas and the New Year to carry on with their fitness goals which is great. The beginning of the week sees the first of our Yoga and Pilates classes in our studio, and Circuits in the evening at Lockerley Village Hall. Phew - busy but great fun!

TuesdayLots of our members join us because they can take long holidays and not have to waste money on unused weeks while they’re away. Some buy the super flexible session packages which are valid for a year. Members are returning from travels to Tanzania, Australia, New Zealand and even the base camp of Mount Everest!!

WednesdayBusiness as usual today with class participants and gym members making the centre really busy.

ThursdayOur new team member joins us and is getting used to the way we work – now that we are a multi-award -winning centre it’s important for us to keep up our customer service commitment and our new member is doing brilliantly!

Fridayit’s great to see our Physiotherapist back at work with us – she recently had a knee op and had to practice what she preaches by following her own rehabilitation instructions!!!

Ok, we’re finally coming back down to earth! We’ve already started having enquiries about joining the centre which is so nice.

More of a “normal” diary next month – see you all then.

Very superstitious...” goes the well known Stevie wonder hit – we certainly are, but why? Most of us have some sort of unusual superstition, whether it’s a pair

of lucky socks, avoiding walking under a ladder or what the bride wears at a wedding (something old, something new, etc.). I remember as a child avoiding the cracks in the pavements, so as not to induce some terrible fate. Even the most belligerent

will cross their fingers when they play their weekly lottery numbers, even if there is no sane argument to say it will make a blind bit of difference!

We each have our own collection of superstitions that we observe, applying to various aspects of our daily life – some are historical, some are logical, some are simply ridiculous! Certain superstitions require us to recite a verse, as in the case of seeing magpies - “one for sorrow, two for joy....” Others require a specific action such as touching wood to avoid tempting fate or tossing salt over your left shoulder. A broken mirror could bring seven years bad

luck and we all have to be extra careful when Friday the 13th comes around. All quite bizarre when you really think about it!

But where do they come from and why do we do them? According to the dictionary they are an irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear. They certainly don’t really fit with the Cynicism of the modern world and probably exist halfway between religion and witchcraft! Some studies show that the more lucky you believe yourself to be, the more lucky you will become – so perhaps superstitions work in this way and all we are really doing is subconsciously trying to create our own good fortune by avoiding bad luck!

There is certainly no scientific reason for observing all these strange rituals, but one thing is for sure, when it comes to the lottery is it really worth the risk of not becoming an instant millionaire just for the sake of wearing a pair of lucky red socks, gesturing to magpies, avoiding any black cats or ladders, throwing condiments over your shoulder and hanging horseshoes a certain way? Well, I’ll keep my fingers crossed and let you know if it works!

Bartley have recently agreed to be the proud sponsor of Salisbury based drivers, Stuart Waite (in the 2012 Production BMW Championship) and Stephen Brown (in the 2012 BMW Compact Cup).

Both drivers have always had a keen interest in cars and racing since their teens and both have a history of successful go karting racing. Although 2012 will be the first season of professional racing for Stephen, it’s the 3rd season for Stuart who had several podium finishes last season and finished 4th overall.

Bartley opened in 1997 and has expanded greatly since then. They now benefit from a busy team of 6. The BMW qualified technicians have almost 60 years experience of working with BMWs and BMW Minis. Bartley now operate from 3 fully equipped workshops, featuring BMW diagnostic tools and the latest 4 wheel laser alignment equipment on the Rushington Business Park in Totton, Southampton.

This means that Bartley are in an ideal position to assist both Stuart and Stephen on a technical level as well as sponsorship.

Look BARTLEY INDEPENDENT BMW SPECIALISTS up on Facebook, as well as their website throughout the season for regular updates, photos, results and special offers!

Bartley offer a while you wait service. There is a café on site – why not have a cuppa and a bite to eat as they take care of your car.

If you need to be on the road, Bartley offer courtesy vehicles at no extra charge.

Bartley are situated in Totton. Just a 5 minute drive from junction 2 or 3 of the M27 and benefit by being on the A35.

Shopping List -

Method -Firstly, grease and line with parchment two 21cm (8”) sponge tins. Into a large mixer bowl, sift in the cocoa powder, flour and baking powder. Using another bowl (heat-proof glass or stainless steel) melt the chocolate and butter together over a pan of hot, but not boiling water. Using a food processor, puree the cooked beetroot and then whisk in the beaten eggs. Now add the chocolate/butter mix and the beetroot/egg mix to the mixer bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a mixer, beat the combined mixtures together thoroughly on a slow speed. Then pour the mixture, half & half into each tin. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180˚C (160˚C fan)/Gas Mark 4 until when a knife

inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cakes to stand in the tins for 10 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool. To make the filling, beat together the mascarpone, butter and icing sugar. Spread on top of one of the cakes and place the other cake on top so that the filling is in the middle. Finally, make the ganache to go on top. In a pan, bring the cream to just boiling and remove from the heat. Add the chopped chocolate and beat in vigorously until well combined and smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then spread on top of the cake. Leave to set. Decorate with some white chocolate shavings or a decoration of your choice.

A Mothers Day treat perhaps?
