Save “Crimbo limbo!”

It’s finally happened, Christmas has begun.
Our homes are enlightened with magic and fun!

Santa delighted our girls and our boys.
The whole world is fizzing with chocolate and toys.

We’ve time to reflect now on what we’ve achieved,
The day was successful, our tots all “believed.”

So now to relax and just soak up the joy.
Kick back with our families and simply enjoy.

But one thing each year drives me utterly crazy,
Whilst sat on my sofa intent to be lazy.

I’ve barely cracked open my Christmassy chocs,
And finally settled in front of the box,

When adverts for “Weight watchers” clog up my screen.
Insisting that NOW is the time to be lean!?

The feast and the treats that we’ve saved for all year.
Should promptly be banished now Boxing Day’s here?

It’s been one whole day and so true to tradition,
The big shops are off on a new business mission.

Already it’s changed, no more twinkles in sight.
Town centres have switched to a bleak red and white.

The retailers (tense now that gifts have been bought.)
All itch to unleash the next spending onslaught.

The bosses and fat cats will not be content.
Until all of our new Christmas money’s been spent.

Poor Santa has only just parked up his sleigh,
And SALES are all set now to steal Boxing day.

The lunch has been eaten, the reindeer have gone,
But why such a rush for us all to move on?

We’re all in a frenzy to purchase again,
A kitchen, a wardrobe a “diet” (again!)

I feel for the shop staff dragged back in the game.
I find the whole “SALE” thing a bit of a shame.

The commercial machine will continue to churn.
But now as a parent I’m starting to learn.

Let’s stay in the moment, not rush to forget it.
The magic will last for as long as we let it.

The children don’t know that the SALES have begun,
Let’s just let them play and join in with their fun.

Let’s toast to a season of love and good cheer.
And let Christmas be Christmas at least ’til New Year.

Wishing you all a very merry Crimbo Limbo xx

  1. I couldn’t agree more. The last thing I’d want to do on Boxing Day is go shopping. It should be a time to enjoy family time and embrace the tradition of stuffing your face all over again. Unfortunately we live in a fast and materialistic world. Enjoy your chilled Boxing Day and stuff your face with cake and all manner of things my lovely xxxx gem xxxx

    1. Thank you lovely! I’m pleased I’m not the only one who feels like this. Don’t get me wrong I love a bargain and I wouldn’t blame anyone for hitting the shops today. I just think it’s such a shame that there is so little time to relax and actually enjoy Christmas time together. The sales just seem to get rammed down our throats earlier and earlier each year? Anyway rant over. There is a huge box of chocolates and a Christmas film with the tots and the hubby calling! Hope you have a magical time with your gorgeous boys. Christmas hugs. Dawn xxx

  2. Agreed. I had a shower this morning, put on some clean pjs and ate some cocolates and pringles. That’s pretty much my boxing day lol. Just about to have dinner and open a bottle of prosecco. No shopping here, sales or not. Who can be bothered after all the christmas shopping anyway? Now is the time to sit back and relax.

    1. Absolutely the only thing to do. It is still Christmas until Jan 2nd in my opinion. Crack open another box of chocs and relax in the twinkly lights while you still can. No blues until January… Then I’ll join you! 🙂

      Thanks for reading. Loved your post on the post Christmas blues too x

        1. Great idea. I end up doing that every year too. Usually something a bit twinkly like a twig /fairy light feature thingy. Makes it feel a bit less bare when they come down, but now my house kind of looks like a grotto all year round :-/ haha x

          1. I always had this idea of keeping a tree up all year and decorating it with whatever holiday fell in that month. And if there wasn’t a holiday then decorate it according to the season. My husband didn’t seem as excited as I was about that lol.

  3. I’ve come to you via #justanotherlinky today 🙂 Mr Lighty was saying exactly this yesterday, he said “why can’t Boxing Day just be Boxing Day and the sales start after that?!” . Having said that, I have managed to persuade him that we need to go to Next today to kit out Baby Lighty for next winter, ha!! Xxx

  4. Terrific rhyme and excellent message. I find it especially disheartening here in the Southern Hemisphere when we should be out enjoying the weather. This year Boxing Day was a brilliant summer’s day and the shops were jam packed with people shopping at retailers who have sales on every weekend anyway. I’m not judging though, I must admit to popping in for a look (and deciding against spending 30 minute in line for something I didn’t truly want anyway). My sister works for a big retailer and had to stay after closing on Christmas eve so there’d be no remnants of Christmas decorations come Boxing Day morning!

    1. Thank you lovely! I feel so sorry for your sister and all the other retail staff having to work late to strip the place of all signs of Christmas on Christmas eve? It just seems such a shame when they could be at home with their families. Why can’t Boxing day still be Christmassy? As you say, there are sales running all the time now anyway. I’m not judging anyone for taking part as I’m the first person to love a bargain, but I just think it’s a shame that the retailers can’t come together and all agree to just let Christmas be Christmas and start the January sales… In January? Anyway. What do I know? 😉 Hope you’ve had a fabulous Christmas and wishing you a very happy New Year. Dawn x

  5. Great post again!
    My partner loves going boxing day shopping haha but we couldn’t go this year due to floods so we went the day after. We only bought a microwave and a few clothes for the girls!
    xx Thanks for linking up with #justanotherlinky

    1. Thank you hon. I can see the appeal as who doesn’t love a good bargain? I was just far too busy being lazy and stuffing my face on Boxing day :0) Hope the floods have calmed near you now now. Thank you very much for having me at #justanotherlinky xx

  6. Agreed. I’m all shopped out after Christmas. The last thing I want to do is add more stuff to the pile of stuff we still need to find a place for after Christmas. One year, before baby, we did our Christmas after the holidays, so we were able to capitalize on all of the sales. That was a great year for the pocketbook.

    1. That’s such a brilliant idea! I bet it saved you a fortune? I’m all for a bargain don’t get me wrong, I just don’t see the need for shops to be opening at 6am on Boxing Day. Christmas always just seems to be over as soon as you wash the dinner plates now. Thanks for commenting Stephanie. Hope you’re having a great Christmastime x

  7. haha that’s why I don’t watch TV much too many adverts telling me what I need! I don’t want to think about diets, no thank you! I agree let’s be in the moment and enjoy a rest xx Fabulous post! #dreamteam

    1. Cheers to that lovely! I must admit we’ve hardly watched any TV this year and so I’ve not had the joy sucked out of me with a stealth diet add right in the middle of the a Christmas special this time. You’re right, this is the way forward – Stay in and avoid all TV. That way it can stay magical for as long as we like! Hope you’re having a fab time and all the very best for the New Year to you and yours xx

  8. Agreed! I’ve had a bit of an internet black-out over the last few days, stunned by how much junk mail I received! I’ve spent all my money on Christmas anyway, good luck retailers trying to get more cash out of me! #DreamTeam xx

  9. Oh this is just brilliant. Well done! I had to chuckle as having eaten next to nothing yesterday (thanks kids for sharing the hideous cold germs – sharing in this case is not caring) I got a flipping Slimmers World leaflet through my front door. As for the sales, avoiding them like the plague. #DreamTeam x

    1. Oh no! Hope you’re feeling better now Lisa? I’m with you though – who wants to think about dieting on Boxing Day? Come back to me on 2nd Jan and I might be a bit more receptive but until that point I shall be inhaling mince pies thank you very much! 😉 Thanks lovely. Hope you have a great New Year x

  10. ‘Christmas Limbo’ – yes, you clever lady! Wonderfully articulated. I love this time between Christmas and New Year and am quite happy to just hang in limbo and enjoy it. Happy New Year! More of your fabulous rhymes in 2017 please 🙂 Alison x #DreamTeam

    1. I love it too Alison. I just hate the January marketing campaigns sneaking in before I’ve even finished my turkey! I’m hanging there with you. 😉 Thanks so much and I hope you have a brill 2017 which I shall very much enjoy reading all about. ? x

  11. I try to avoid most stores when I know the hordes are out…. but my boys INSISTED we HAD to get to Gamestop so they could buy some new controllers and games to go with their new console. It was torture!

  12. I haven’t left the house yet since Christmas Day! We try and keep it going until The Boy goes back to school. He’s allowed to leave all his presents out, watch more tv, play more and stay up a bit later, and we eat what we want. Then he goes back to school, I tidy up and we put the decorations away next week.

    I must confess to having ordered a washing machine on Christmas eve in the sales, but mine completely died, so it was a necessity. And I may hit the shops tomorrow, because I have a day on my own, and I do quite enjoy it. But I wouldn’t dream of going out on boxing day, or starting any kind of diet, well, ever, but I wont stop eating the Christmas treats until they have gone. If that happens to be February because I accidentally buy a lot more when I hit the shops, that’s fine! #dreamteam

  13. So true, what you’ve written or actually rhymed;) great poem on the reality of our society…It’s sad that the world is powered by shopping and selling and buying…As you said, it doesn’t let us stay in the moment unless we make it happen! And we can! So, lay back, enjoy family time, eat, drink and have fun. We do it! and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!!;) #DreamTeam

    1. I love that! I refuse to let the marketing powers insist that it’s over the minute the gifts have been opened. That’s not what Christmas is about for me. Hope you’re still enjoying a lovely Christmastime – and thank you x

  14. very true, I wish we could just have one day to not think about sales and the next thing. Just enjoy the moment, just like at times everything constantly moving, gives us a break from wanting the numbers and sales X #dreamteams

    1. Absolutely! It’s the one time of year where I think we all should be allowed to just stop a while and relax and enjoy what we’ve prepared for. It must be no Christmas at all for those retail staff back at work at 6am Boxing Day. Thank you x

  15. This is so true. I can’t stand the boxing day deals and this need to purchase more and more things we do not need. I haven’t done much, besides spend time with my family since Christmas day and i’m happy with that #dreamteam

    1. I think that sounds perfect to me Michelle. Fair play to having sales and to those that enjoy them, but if all the shops came together and launched them a few days later it would just give us all (not least the staff!) a well deserved rest. Hope you enjoy the rest of Christmastime and your New Year x

  16. Spot on, as usual, Dawn! We stay away from the shops in the days after Christmas as much as possible, despite the sales . We prefer spending time with family. I find the sales shopping frenzy all a bit disturbing tbh. I know I’ll miss some bargains but I’d rather leave things till they settle down a bit. #dreamteam

    1. My thoughts exactly Jane. If there’s something I need then I might have a browse online at some point in Jan but I just don’t find any joy in jostling through a packed shop at Christmas wading through half price Christmas jumpers. For me it’s like doing a house clearance sale while the person still lives there. It’s still Christmas! It’s so depressing seeing everything we’d paid full price for less than 48 hours before, now slapped with red and white stickers and wanted off the shelves. Family time is the way for me too! x

  17. We popped into town to exchange my ring as hubby got it too small and I was amazed at the amount of people in town. I only went because I was desperate to wear it otherwise I’d have waited a few days. It’s amazing the amount of people who fall for the Boxing Day sales malarkey. At least do it online in your pjs with chocolates by your side haha #dreamteam

    1. I’m with you! Online in your PJs is the only way to do it. I just wish that all the retailers would come together and agree to just hold off for a couple of days? I know it’ll never happen of course but what next? Sales starting at 6am Xmas morning? Bleughh! Hope you enjoyed your choccies. Happy New Year x

  18. Happy Christmas lovely! Sorry this is a bit late but love your festive poem – still marvel at your rhymes, you clever lady. Thanks for co-hosting #dreamteam with Annette and I, so excited to have you with us! xx

The Time According To Toddlers.

A Toddler is a tricky beast at things concerning time.
Their lack of punctuality is basically a crime.

The concept of “a hurry” will fall mostly on deaf ears.
And waiting for five minutes will feel more like twenty years.

In general our small people don’t grasp time or what it’s for.
So when it comes to time-zones it appears they just have four:

1) NOW!

This one relates to all the things A Toddler might require.
Juice, a snack, a wee, their current choice of pacifier.

The “Now!” demand can be invoked at any given hour.
But mostly when we’re on the loo or trying to have a shower.

They’re not cut out for patience, it’s beyond their inclination.
Comply IMMEDIATELY or risk toddler detonation!

2) In A Bit…

This time zone is appointed to all things that grown-ups ask.
And any pleading parent who attempts to do a task.

The “late” thing has no consequence. They couldn’t give a sh*t.
All items from our wish list shall be dealt with “In A Bit…

3) …It’s Taking Ages!

So this one covers all the things that grown-ups want to do.
Brushing hair, washing up, or fastening a shoe.

This sweeping state of boredom is applied as an outcry.
Accompanied by rolling eyes, dropped shoulders and a sigh.

This one gets nicely emphasised with loud defiant shouts.
Freely applied to many things.
Usually sprouts.

  • * * * * *

So now that I’ve considered it and grasped The Toddler Clock,
I think I kind of get it having stopped and taken stock:

The source of my frustration when my offspring won’t comply?
The silent muttered F-Bombs as I watch the time tick by?

The shrieking, planking toddler who has no desire to wait?
The fact that as a parent I’m now permanently late!?

I’ve done my research carefully, and where it all goes wrong,
Is just that toddlers operate on “Parent Time Plus One“.

NOW! = In A Bit…

So when I’m in a hurry and I’m racing for the door,
And Little Legs refuses and just rolls upon the floor,

It’s not that he’s ignoring me and couldn’t give a sh*t.
It’s just that in his head he translates “NOW!” as “In A Bit…

“Put your shoes on!”
“Hurry up!”
Get dressed!”
“Get out of bed!”

Are swiftly re-prioritised in every toddler’s head.

In A Bit = It’s Taking Ages!

When they want to play and Mummy’s busy doing highly important things blogging on her phone.
A grown-ups “In A Bit…” goes straight to  “…Taking Ages” zone.

Our pleading “Just a Minute!”, “In a moment!”, “Won’t be long!”
Is lost in “…Taking Ages” and that’s where is all goes wrong!

It’s Taking Ages = NEVER!

I’ve learned that from experience, no good can come from nagging.
Like “Hurry up then slow-coach!” when a little one is flagging.

You think they’re going slowly and it’s going to take forever?
Just say “It’s Taking Ages!” and they’ll switch it straight to “NEVER!

That grotty looking leaf that so entranced your tiny tot?
All vain attempts to rush them will just root them to the spot!

Which leaves us with this chestnut in the parent laws of sod.
The one that makes us do the swears and mutter things to God.

All the things forbidden and whatever we obstruct,
Must promptly be attempted on a race to self-destruct!

“DON’T!” and “DO NOT EVER!” are the greatest toddler sports,
And taken as an urgent invitation in their thoughts.

  • * * * * *

So there I was assuming that this parent thing was rough?
Accepting that communication can at times be tough!

But all I need to do to fix these feral tots of mine,
Is teach the little cherubs how to tell the sodding time!

  1. Ahahahaha! I’m in stitches! (there’ something there with ‘a stitch in time’…?) At the moment, for Amelia, everything in the past is “yesterday”… “Mummy, when it was my birthday yesterday..” a month ago, “Mummy, when we went to the farm yesterday” 4 months ago. “Mummy when baby Ava visited yesterday…” 3 weeks ago! I give up! #DreamTeam

  2. What I’m currently dealing with is “Bedtime Now” = “Play with toys until I pass out two hours later”, but I guess that’s at least semi-predictable. 🙂 #dreamteam

  3. This is spot on!! I’m so glad my eldest can tell the time and has some concept of time and dates rather than the constant “when’s my birthday?” “how many sleeps til holiday?” “is it time yet? “How about now?” Aggghhh…and I get to do it all again with Pops! Thanks for hosting #dreamteam x

  4. Quite glad that Baby Lighty can’t grasp any of these concepts just yet…at least when he’s ignoring me at the moment I can tell myself that he just doesn’t understand yet!! Thank you so much for hosting #DreamTeam 🙂 xxx

  5. So funny! I wish mine would learn about time. I drives me nuts to be late. The little one has taught me a lot of patience though… and after a long day of NEVER… there is always wine. #dreamteam

  6. In stitches over this and crying at the same time. Oh how long must I wait for the hole in my heart to be whole and our family to grow. #dreamteam

  7. Oh, this is so true. The Popple wants everything ‘NOW’ and when I tell her she can have it soon or in a bit, she just says ‘No?’. Of course, there’s no sense of urgency when we’re trying to get out of the house to nursery in the morning…#DreamTeam

  8. Teenagers have a similar sense of time. “Are you ready?” “Almost”. “How almost is almost? Very almost or not at all …”

  9. Haha! Yes! It’s exactly like that. Always. I wonder if we can beat them in their game by preempting their next moves. I find that promising a Trolls sing-along tends to turn Now! into exactly that. Thank you for hosting the #DreamTeam with me 🙂 xxx

  10. Hahahaha ah you crack me up – I’d love to be sat in your head while you come up with these fantastic rhymes (although I don’t think that would be comfortable for either of us!) #dreamteam

  11. This is just brilliant, though is it scary to say I was nodding my head in recognition at these being phrases my teens still use…In a bit certainly has a whole other meaning to them!! Less planking on the floor though thankfully! #dreamteam

  12. Brilliant! I just wish they grew out of it. My four year old needs a rocket up him most mornings! So frustrating! #dreamteam

  13. Classic! I was totally living this dream today as I foolishly decided to walk with both girls to vote, via the allotment and the chippy… as someone who is always dashing here there and everywhere their dilly dallying drives me NUTS!
    Thanks for sharing with #coolmumclub

    1. Oh dear Lord!? Via such exciting venues as these? It’s a wonder you got there at all? I try to go via the route of least entertainment. Any leaves, sticks, caterpillars etc are to be avoided like the plague for fear of scientific levels of inspection and associated questions that will ensue! ? Thanks for hosting lovely! x

  14. Haha bless em they really know how to drive us bananas on the time front don’t they. It’s like we are both aliens to each other! Thanks for linking up to #coolmumclub with this lovely xoxo

  15. Brilliant and thank you for explaining the Parent Time Plus One concept to me that totally now makes sense! My kids have absolutely no concept of time and getting ready for school and pre-school in the morning drives me crazy! #CoolMumClub xx

  16. Haha. I’m laughing so hard at this! The shouts of “Now mama” happen a lot in our house!

    Also. Our 15 year old has only just learnt how to tell the time… so only another 10 years or so and you’ll get your sanity back 😉

Wander around Mainz’s Old Town and marvel at its old-world buildings’ Gothic architecture. Mainz is marvelous. When your afternoon begins in vibrant Rüdesheim, you won’t know where to start.

Perched high above on a cliff the brilliant Cochem Castle, or Reichsburg Cochem, brings German history and culture to life and provides panoramic views of the Moselle and Cochem below. Amidst Cochem’s rolling hills, sits the community of Ediger-Eller. Enchanting in its own right, Ediger-Eller shares many of its neighboring towns German characteristics and charm. Embark on an exclusive exploration of the town where you’ll be joined by the mayor of Ediger-Eller for a tasting of scrumptious local Rieslings.

Your osteopath referring to other health professionals

As a primary healthcare professional your osteopath, in addition to their osteopathic skills, have been trained to undertake detailed medical histories and a comprehensive range of clinical examinations in an effort to diagnose the cause of your symptoms.

It is due to this extensive training that they are able to determine if you may need to be referred on for further tests to determine an accurate diagnosis, or if your condition may require the intervention of another health professional.

rivermead osteopaths chelmsford

When this happens your osteopath can write to your GP outlining their findings and requesting further investigations or referral to an appropriate consultant.
In addition to referring to your GP, many osteopaths know their local medical community well, so are well placed to recommend treatment from other health professionals who are able to treat specific conditions, or even another osteopath with specialist knowledge of the condition.

Before your osteopath makes any referral, they will discuss with you their diagnosis and explain why they feel you need help from someone else.Logo: General Osteopathic Council If you are happy to be referred they will ask your permission to write to the person they are referring you to with details of your case notes and any other information from their examination that they feel might help the clinician to treat you most effectively. This may help you to get better or faster treatment because the next person to see you won’t be starting from scratch and will have the benefit of another expert’s insight into your condition. If you prefer, you can ask for a copy of your notes to take to your GP or another doctor.

If you are referred, do keep your osteopath informed about your ongoing treatment, and feel free to continue to consult him or her about any other aches and pains you’re experiencing

Advice for back pain sufferers

New research finds that many back-pain patients aren’t receiving the care they need

The Lancet have published a series of papers on low back pain, calling on medical professionals worldwide to stop offering ineffective and potentially harmful treatments to patients. The research states that people with low back pain are being harmed, not helped, with an over-reliance on scans, surgeries and opioid prescriptions to treat a problem that could be more effectively addressed with self-management and less-invasive physical and psychological therapies.

Low back pain is the leading cause of disability in the world, effecting more than 540 million people.  Disability caused by low back pain has risen by more than 50% since 1990. In the UK, guidelines recommend a combination of physical exercise and advice and support for low back pain patients.

Robin Lansman, spokesperson for the Institute of Osteopathy said, ‘The Lancet papers show rising levels of disability across the world, associated with lower back pain. The authors emphasise that, in many cases, people receive interventions that can actually worsen their condition.’

‘In the UK, low back pain is a burden on both the individual and our health care system which is why the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) have produced extensive guidance. The guidance recommends manual therapy as part of an overall package of care for those with low back pain. They also recommend, exercise and self-management and psychological support which osteopaths routinely provide.’

He added ‘The most common reason for a patient to visit an osteopath is for low back pain, it accounts for around 36% of our patient workload. Osteopaths pride themselves on offering individualised care which is tailored to the most appropriate pathway for the patient’

Bone Health

A natural change with ageing is a loss of bone density. It is important to do what you can to keep your bones as strong as possible to avoid potential fractures, and the possible knock-on effects and recovery from these.

So there is an expected loss of bone density as we age, but a loss of bone density can occur as a result of some illnesses and taking some medications. There is also a sharp change in hormones around the female menopause. This can make ladies more susceptible to a reduced bone density, however reduced bone density is not just a female issue.

You may be referred for DXA scanning if your GP feels you may have these changes. A slight reduction in bone density may be referred to as osteopenia, a more marked reduction may be diagnosed as osteoporosis. Depending on your particular situation and history. Treatment may look at lifestyle factors; for example diet and exercise. Supplementation and/or other prescribed medications may also be advised.

The ideal scenario would be to try and counter these changes with more conservative approaches in order to try and prevent further issue later down the line. The best time to do this is in childhood, this is the time you build-up your skeletal mass. Think of it as a “bone bank” that you borrow from for the rest of your life.

So we need to be guiding the young people in our lives regarding diet and exercise (see below) as well as possible to give them the best “bone bank” possible.

Another crucial period of time in a female’s life, is the year running up to her menopause. But how do we know when this will be? We don’t. We may have a rough idea what could be likely if we know what our mother’s age of menopause was. We know the approximate age it’s likely to happen at. But this is an unknown. So it’s important to make taking care of your bones a part of your lifestyle.

 The following factors are important to counter an excessive loss of bone density:

  • Weight-bearing exercise, such as walking, skipping and jogging. Do what feels appropriate for you. Also resistance exercises help. So try a little weight lifting. Just using a little resistance would help e.g. baked bean cans for upper body weights. You don’t have to train to an Olympic standard!
  • Making sure you have the appropriate amounts of calcium, vitamin D and magnesium (see below). This may need to be through a combination of diet and supplementation. Keep a food diary for a couple of typical weeks for you to try and gauge what, if anything is required. These are not the only vitamins and minerals essential to bone health. A consultation with a nutritional therapist might be necessary.
  • If you know you have suffered an illness, possibly an eating disorder or a digestive issue that may effect the uptake of nutrients. Be aware that you could be at slightly more risk and discuss this with your GP.
  • Be mindful that some medications can predispose to a reduction in bone density, especially if they have needed to be taken over a long period. For example steroid treatment, and some epilepsy medications.

These are the current recommendations for supplementation.

  • Calcium – for all adults, aged 19-64 years of age 700mg/day.
  • Magnesium – for men aged 19-64 years of age, 300mg a day. For ladies of the same age range, 270mg a day.
  • Vitamin D (be aware that it can be difficult to get the required amounts of vitamin D from your diet. Vitamin D is largely synthesised in our bodies via a reaction through sunlight on our skin. This is not possible all year around.) 5 years of age to adult = 10mcg a day. This is possibly only necessary over the autumn and winter months.

 The following foods are examples of sources of the above:

Whitebait 100g is 870mg/Ca

Cheddar/Edam cheese 50g is 350mg/Ca

Canned Sardines 70g is 350mg/Ca

Raw spinach 100g is 170mg/Ca

A large orange is 70mg/Ca

20 shelled almonds is 50mg/Ca

Pumpkin seeds 35g is 184mg/Mg

Taco shell 100g is 104mg/Mg

Muesli 95g is 90mg/Mg

Boiled brown rice 100g is 88mg/Mg

30 Peanuts is 70mg/Mg

2 slices brown bread is 40mg/Mg

2 fillets cooked mackerel (about 110g) is 21micrograms/vit D

Tinned salmon 100g is 12.5 micrograms/vit D

Tinned tuna 100g is 5 micrograms/vit D

1 egg (60g) is 1 microgram/vit D

All Bran 45g is 0.8 microgram/vit D

1/2 pint semi-skimmed milk is 0.03 micrograms/vit D

Stay Well

I am lucky enough to be writing this blog post from my sun-bed on the beach in Montenegro. It’s beautiful, relaxing and hot – I’m sweating like a waterfall!

Rivermead Osteopaths has been really busy this year, which has been fantastic. I enjoy my job as an osteopath, but this recharge of my batteries before my to return to the clinic is great for me, and should allow me to be as helpful as I can be to you.

Taking the time-out, I’m reminded that good musculoskeletal health isn’t all about manual therapy and exercises. Although obviously, I’m still a firm believer in this side of things!

I’m thinking of the day-to-day stuff that I know helps me, but I haven’t been doing recently. Busy lifestyles can make these things go out the window far too easily.

Now I don’t want to sound too preachy. Life is life and all the best laid plans….Shit happens from time to time and messes with your good intentions. But here are 3 positive suggestions to make a difference to your day-to-day, and I am committing to these now with you.

So here are a few things that have “gone missing” for me. I’m an early bird so this suits me, but maybe just getting up 10/15/20 minutes earlier each day could give you a little extra time to fit this in. They not only help our muscles and joints, but also our inner workings, physically and emotionally.

MEDITATION. For me, 10 minutes a day (but it could be longer) has helped me relax, remain calm, and most notably improved my focus. There is also evidence to support it’s use in people who suffer chronic pain. (You don’t need to be standing on rocks at the edge of a lake, although that would be lovely.)

BEING GRATEFUL. Its easy to dwell on whats wrong and forget about the positive stuff. Being grateful can help improve focus and allow acceptance. Which can sometimes again, be a good tool in people who experience chronic pain. Taking time each day to do this, may be even writing it down could be useful.

GETTING ORGANISED AND MAKING MY FOOD FROM SCRATCH. The difference I feel in my well-being for consuming non-processed food is exponential. Just upping my veggie intake made a huge difference to me. Maybe have a cook-up day and freeze meals ahead of time so you always have something healthy ready to go?

If you need any guidance with any of these suggestions, then please ask in the clinic.

Just so you know. I will be starting some nutrition training at the end of this month. So soon, I can help you more with the food stuff. Stay well.

Fancy A Few Tips on Your Hips for Summer Activities?

Wimbledon has started, running through to the 16th where Andy Murray will once again hope to be in with a chance of claiming a hat trick of Wimbledon wins under his belt – despite a troublesome hip injury putting a threat to his chances of Wimbledon glory once again.

Murray said he was feeling “good” after practising three times on Friday June 30th, as he recovers from a hip injury which saw him pull out of his final Wimbledon warm-up match.

Murray, 30, has been suffering from his hip problem due to possible twisting and flexing of the hip on a relatively constant basis during his career, intense training from a young age making him become one of the world’s best – does unfortunately take it’s toll with injuries to the body.

Whatever your desired activity or sport you may enjoy, the most important factor is listening to your body – especially if you are of the older generation. It can be hard to accept that some activities may pass you by because of a certain injury hampering your favourite hobby. But don’t give up at the first hurdle, this should be a very last resort!

It’s not uncommon for amateur/younger tennis players to be affected by these types of hip problems either, but the good news is you can manage your injuries to a certain degree if one of your hobbies happens to be a game of Tennis down your local club.

Trying out different surfaces such as clay/grass/concrete (depending on the courts on offer at your preferred playing spot) can also be helpful, this can help avoid muscles imbalances that might develop if you were to stay on one surface.

Keeping active, performing exercises and stretching out before and after your matches as well as some much needed rest can help massively with your recovery – eradicating a possible flare-up of pain or discomfort and strengthening the muscles around your injury as a result.

If the problem persists after two or three weeks it might be time to seek the help of a professional. Here at Rivermead Osteopaths, we can help with your pain – 14 million people in the UK alone suffer from various types of pain throughout their body and we’re here to try and put that right.

We’ll be keeping a beady eye on the events of Wimbledon over the coming weeks backing Andy Murray all the way! Our man started his title defence on centre court on Monday and we hope there is no recurrence of his injury – otherwise he’ll have to pop by and pay us a visit at Rivermead Osteopaths!

An osteopath may be the answer to your prayers – Call 01245 280636 today to see if your problem can be helped by osteopath Claire Thomas – alternatively you can email us via

Persistent Pain

We all feel pain from time to time. When someone injures themselves, specific nerves recognise this as pain, which in turn triggers the body’s repair mechanism. As the problem resolves, the pain tends to improve and usually disappears within 3-6 months. This type of pain could be argued to be beneficial: if it hurts, you are likely to try and avoid doing whatever it is that has caused the pain in the future, so you are less likely to injure yourself in that way again.

Occasionally the pain continues even after tissue healing has finished. When pain continues after this point, it becomes known as persistent (or is sometimes referred to as chronic) pain. This type of pain is not beneficial and is a result of the nerves becoming over-sensitised, which means that a painful response will be triggered much more easily than normal. This can be unpleasant, but doesn’t necessarily mean that you are doing yourself any harm simply by moving. You could think of this as a sensitive car alarm that goes off in error when someone walks past.

Persistent pain is very common and effects over 14 million people in the UK alone. It often does not respond to conventional medical interventions and needs a different kind of approach, but there are many things that you can do to manage your pain yourself with the support of your osteopath, your family and loved-ones. Keeping active, performing exercises and stretches can help, learning to pace your activities so that you don’t trigger a flare-up of your pain as well as setting goals and priorities are all very important and can help you to maintain a fulfilling lifestyle.

For more information on how to manage your persistent pain, speak to your osteopath or visit

Osteopathy for Work

The health and safety executive estimate that in 2013/14 there were 526,000 cases of work related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) – about 42% of all work related illnesses MSDs are the second biggest cause of absence from work, effecting over 1m people at a cost to the economy (estimated in 2007) of £7bn.

 If you are self-employed, taking time off work with musculoskeletal problem can have a devastating effect on you and your family’s financial security, so getting back to work as quickly as possible is essential. That can seem impossible when you’re in pain and unable to complete your usual daily activities, but movement really helps.

The Work Foundation recommend that you work with your employers and healthcare professionals if effected by MSDs to find ways of returning to work as soon as possible using a combination of treatment, lifestyle changes and adjustment to working conditions. They also suggest that early intervention is key to recovery, hastening your return to a normal, healthy lifestyle and limiting the negative psychological effects of an extended period of sick leave.

How our osteopaths can help;

  • Fast access – our osteopaths are usually able to see you within a couple of days of seeking an appointment. As osteopaths are primary healthcare professionals you don’t need to be referred by a GP unless you are seeking NHS funded treatment or your health insurance provider insists that you see a GP first.
  • Treatment and advice – once they have assessed your condition an osteopath will usually begin treatment straight away. They can also provide advice on how to avoid making the condition worse or re-injuring yourself.
  • Inexpensive treatment – Many MSDs can be treated by osteopaths over a few visits.
  • Fit notes – A fit note provides your employer with advice on what they can do to help an employee return safely to work. This may include adjustments to working conditions, such as reduced hours, a different work station set up, or recommending avoiding activities that may prevent or slow recovery, heavy lifting for example. Osteopaths are able to issue fit notes which will give employers this expert advice.
  • Onward referral – With your permission, osteopaths are able to share information about your health with other healthcare professionals, such as your GP. If your condition requires the intervention of another expert, an osteopath can provide a letter of referral detailing the diagnosis and any treatment that they have been able to provide, which may help you more rapidly get the help you need to return to health.

Back Pain and Children

Like adults, children can suffer from back pain as a result of a variety of lifestyle activities. And like adults, there are number of things that parents and carers can do to prevent issues arising.

If your child does complain of back pain, it is important to seek advice from a qualified professional, such as an osteopath. An osteopath will help to establish the cause of the problem and will provide advice on treatment, or refer you for further examinations if required.

Good school bags

Children are often required to carry bags full of books, PE kits, musical instruments and other equipment to and from school. Parents should try to limit the weight of school bags as much as possible and invest in a good quality back pack that the child should wear across both shoulders, ideally with a strap across the chest to keep the load close to their body. Packing the bag with the heaviest items (such as laptops and heavy books) closest to child’s body, will also make carrying more comfortable and less likely to strain the muscles of the back.

Limit screen time

Looking down to use smart phones, tablets and laptops for an extended period can pull the back and neck into an unnatural posture, resulting in pain. Placing limits on the time spent using devices and encouraging regular breaks may help to avoid problems. If your child has to use a laptop for homework, consider purchasing a support that elevates the screen to a height that allows him or her to sit up straight to look at it.

Regular exercise

A sedentary lifestyle is known to contribute to the risk of developing back pain, as well as contributing to obesity. Regular physical activity helps to keep the core muscles that support the spine strong and maintain flexibility, which will help to avoid back pain. Encourage lots of active play, walking, running, swimming, cycling, etc. To keep your child fit and healthy.

The right bed and pillow

Good quality sleep is vital for both physical and mental development. Make sure that your child has a good sized comfortable bed with a firm mattress and a pillow that supports their head without lifting it too high.

Osteopathic Treatment for your child’s back pain

Your child’s back pain may benefit from osteopathic treatment. Using gentle manual therapy, an osteopath will help to resolve any stresses and strains that are affecting their body and relieve their pain. They can also provide lifestyle advice that may help to prevent the problem from coming back.

Ouch! What to do when you sustain an injury

Sprains and strains to muscles and joints happen to all of us and for most they are a painful, but temporary reminder to be a little more careful. Prompt action can help your body to heal faster and may prevent further injury or prolonged pain.

Strained or ‘pulled’ muscles often happen when we over exert untrained muscles, train without properly warming up or try to go beyond a joint’s natural flexibility. Sometimes we feel the pain straight away, however some injuries might not cause pain until later on. What can you do?

Remember RICE (Relative rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation), using these can help to relieve the pain and start the healing process.

Relative rest: The first thing to do if you feel pain is to reduce the offending activity – pain is usually your body’s way of telling you that there is something wrong that needs your attention. It can be normal to feel a little sore after exercises for a day or two, but if it is more than this, pushing through the pain is rarely beneficial.

However, movement stimulates the healing process so stay as mobile as you comfortably can. Try to keep the joint moving through a comfortable range of motion, without forcing it to the point of pain. This will help to encourage blood flow and keep your joint flexible whilst it heals. This is particularly relevant for back pain as gentle exercise, such as walking, can help. You should slowly build your activity levels up as soon as your symptoms begin to resolve and as soon as you are able.

Ice: Cooling the area using an ice pack can help to reduce swelling and pain. Wrap a thin tea towel around the area so as to avoid direct skin contact and then apply the pack to the injured area for 10 – 15 minutes. You should repeat this several times per day for the first 72 hours. This will help to control inflammation, making it easier for your body to get blood and nutrients to the area and resolve the injured tissues.

Compression: Gently applying a compression dressing may help to temporarily support the injured joint and reduce swelling, though remove this immediately if there are signs that this is reducing the circulation to the area (numbness, pins and needles, the skin turning white or blue etc).

Elevation: If the injury is in the lower limb (knee or ankle), elevating the area a little can make it easier for your body drain fluids that might accumulate around the area, causing swelling. For example, if you’ve hurt your knee, sitting down with the knee raised on a low foot stool may ease your pain.

Seek medical attention. If you have pain that can’t be controlled with over the counter painkillers, can’t put weight on the injured limb, experience paralysis or loss of sensation or the swelling is very bad seek help from your local A&E department, urgent care centre or telephone 111 for advice.

Look out for your feet

Feet take the weight of our whole body, so over time it’s not hard to imagine how problems can crop up. Problems with feet can easily turn into problems elsewhere – ankle, knee, hip and spine problems can result from a foot injury, altered gait or weight bearing position.

Despite us all recognising the obvious strain our feet go through, it’s often the case we ignore them, or don’t think enough about looking after them. Statistics from the Royal College of Podiatry found 9 out of 10 people suffer with some sort of foot problem, with 1 in 5 reporting foot pain often or constantly.

As an osteopath I can help with foot pain, when it’s the result of a mechanical problem. People who suffer with their mobility, poor eyesight, or conditions such as diabetes that can result in poor foot health, should consider having their feet regularly checked and cared for by a podiatrist/chiropodist.

Try this exercise. It helps keep the joint mobile that can cause a problem with bunions, a common issue that can be painful and cause problems fitting into shoes. Practice it on both feet doing 10 repetitions each day. Stop if it causes pain, but it might take a little while to grasp it, especially if your feet are stiff. CLICK ON BUNION EXERCISE TO VIEW!

Bunion Exercise

The following are some general footcare tips:

  • Wash your feet daily in warm soapy water.

  • Dry your feet well, especially between your toes. This is where infections may develop.

  • Change your socks often to avoid foot odour.

  • If you get dry feet moisturise them. You can also use a foot file or pumice stone to remove dry skin. Note that sometimes a dry, harder area is evidence of a change in the way you bear weight through the foot. Think about seeing someone like myself if you have had an injury, or problems with pain.

  • Cut your toenails carefully. Cut straight across, never at angles to avoid in-growing toenails.

  • Be careful with your footwear. If you need to wear high heels at work or to go out. Travel to and from the office or party in sensible shoes and change in and out of them.

  • Sensible shoes should support your foot, fit well and be comfortable. Having a small broad-based heel, perhaps up to 3/4″ is better than having a completely flat heel.

  • Try and avoid wearing flip-flops for too long a period of time. They offer no support and can result in pain.

Tony gets his freedom

Published Wednesday, 13th August 2014
New York stadium
New York stadium

The Chairman of Rotherham's promotion-winning football team will gain the Freedom of the Borough this week.

At 11 am on Friday, August 15, Tony Stewart will be admitted as an Honorary Freeman of the Borough in recognition of his eminent service to the sport of football and his long and friendly association with the Rotherham Borough.

At a special ceremony being held at Rotherham Town Hall, the Mayor of Rotherham, Cllr John Foden, will present Tony with an illuminated address bearing the Coat of Arms commemorating his enrolment. He will also receive a pendant and will be asked to sign the Roll of Honorary Freemen.

Tony is to be granted the award after members of Rotherham Borough Council approved a motion moved by the Leader, Cllr Roger Stone, at a council meeting in July.

Cllr Stone said that Rotherham was a town on the up and part of that journey has been mirrored by the amazing achievements of its football club.

He added: "It is true to say that none of this success would be happening without the innovation, determination and sheer hard work that Tony has put into this club. I am sure that every Millers fan will join with me in agreeing that Tony has raised this club to an exceptional standard."

Cllr Stone first approached the chairman of ASD Lighting Plc in early 2008. This was followed by six years of determination, dedication, controversy, vision and belief which has resulted in not only the homecoming of Rotherham United to the New York Stadium but also back-to-back promotions to the Championship League.

Rotherham United Football Club now employs over 100 people and brings a wealth of  benefits to the community and will contribute further wealth to the local economy with the future development of the remainder of the site.

Tony is the first to acknowledge that he could not have achieved all of this without the help and support of his directors and managers at both ASD Lighting and the football club.

The result is not bad for someone who as a youngster had a keen interest in athletics rather than football. Born in Sheffield and brought up in High Green with a twin brother and four other siblings, Mr. Stewart was a Yorkshire Champion for running the mile.

After leaving High Green School he undertook an apprenticeship as an electrician before starting his own electrical contracting business in 1972 employing 25 staff.

A decade later he saw a gap in the market for the manufacture of what was then security-related electrical equipment. Applied Security Design Ltd., now known as ASD Lighting Plc, became the first company in the world to integrate a passive infrared unit in a light fitting. Today the company employs over 200 staff and supplies innovative lighting solutions worldwide.

Tony has been married to Joan for 43 years. The couple have one son Richard, daughter-in-law Sam, and three grandchildren -  Olivia, Isabelle and Thomas.

If he has any spare time, Tony loves to fit in a round of golf and watch football.

There are now 15 Freemen of Rotherham along with the ship's company of HMS Rotherham and The Yorkshire Regiment, who have both also been conferred with the honour.

You are welcome to send a photographer to this event, which takes place at 11 am on Friday, August 15, at Rotherham Town Hall. But please note photographs will be taken at the end of the ceremony.

Movie Info

Brandy Burre had a recurring role on HBO's The Wire when she gave up her career to start a family. When she decides to reclaim her life as an actor, the domestic world she's carefully created crumbles around her. Using elements of melodrama and cinema verité, ACTRESS is both a present tense portrait of a dying relationship and an exploration of a complicated woman, performing the role of herself, in a complex-yet-familiar story. It's a film about starring in the movie of your life. This is what happens when we break the rules.(C) Official Site

At one point her agent tells her she needs a demo reel to get work in LA; watching her drop tears for the camera as her home life disintegrates, I had to wonder whether this was it.

Feb 26, 2015 | Full Review…

Combining artifice with vérité documentary style, [Greene] underscores the inextricability of real life and make-believe, of genuine behavior and self-conscious performance.

Feb 5, 2015 | Full Review…

Robert Greene's extraordinary collaboration with actress Brandy Burre is a playful, provocative examination of self-performance.

One of the greatest documentaries I've ever seen.

Nov 7, 2014 | Full Review…

A good portion of the cinema verite proceedings, ranging from endless glimpses of her domestic life to footage of her performing an original song in a Greenwich Village cabaret, prove less than arresting.

Movie Info

TYREL follows Tyler, who joins his friend on a trip to the Catskills for a weekend birthday party with several people he doesn't know. As soon as they get there, it's clear that (1) he's the only black guy, and (2) it's going to be a weekend of heavy drinking. Although Tyler is welcomed, he can't help but feel uneasy in "Whitesville." The combination of all the testosterone and alcohol starts to get out of hand, and Tyler's precarious situation starts to feel like a nightmare.

Critic Reviews for Tyrel

All Critics (19) | Top Critics (7)

[Mitchell] lets you feel every humiliation and subsequent redemption while he's trapped in this dynamic.

Nov 5, 2018 | Full Review…
Top Critic

It's a stingingly intimate portrait of a fly-in-the-buttermilk scenario laced with testosterone and too much Irish coffee.

Feb 20, 2018 | Full Review…

Tyrel observes how wounds can fester, doing damage long after unaffected parties would have assumed everything was fine.

Jan 30, 2018 | Full Review…

Like paranoid Tyler himself, we go to that worst-case scenario and Silva has a blast emphasizing every bit of microaggressive whiteness on display, from their constant flow of spiked Irish coffees to a hit parade of whiny R.E.M. songs.

Jan 24, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A film with a very off-the-cuff energy designed to make people uneasy but that doesn't amount to nearly enough in the end.

Jan 23, 2018 | Full Review…

Tyrel is one of Silva's] less-adventurous offerings, but it still fits neatly into a career steeped in innovative explorations of human behavior

H.E. Mango Fall 2011 campaign featuring Gerard Pique

Gerard Pique is young, sensational, dynamic and one of the most popular footballers ever. He is everything that embodies the H.E. Mango man. The Spanish brand features the Spaniard, FC Barcelona player in their latest Fall/Winter 2011 campaign, and the result is spectacular. The gorgeous man looks charming in the charismatic designs of the label which include casual pieces with formal touches. Pique models leather jackets, elegant suits, trenches and knit wear along with monk-strap shoes. Shakira's boyfriend and a very appealing man, Gerard sure is perfect for this campaign. The behind-the-scenes video also has me drooling!

Creationists attempt to stop God being pushed out from the US

Some Christians in the US are afraid the nation is turning its back on God. To confront this, one creationist in Louisiana is striving to take the Bible from the church and into the classroom.

Dave Prentice is not your average scientist. While he may be an established teacher of biology, physics and chemistry – there is one scientific theory he does not accept and that is evolution.

“I certainly believe that there is an intelligent designer behind the universe that is responsible for the existence of human beings,” claims Dave Prentice, creationist.

Prentice lives in Louisiana, deep in the so-called Bible Belt, where according to a recent study about half of the people there believe that every single word of the bible is true.

Prentice says “I would say that the probability is very high for creation and low for evolution, but I cannot prove creation and I also could not prove evolution.”

Prentice teaches his class at a church in Kenner at night, but he wants to move creationism beyond the church and into American public schools where he teaches during the day. He says it is a looming problem that no one wants to talk about.

Studies show that the more educated a person is, the less likely they are to believe in creationism and that is why Prentice wants it to be taught in the classroom.

Dave Prentice believes that “For academic integrity and honesty we are pretending that there is only one possible explanation for everything. We are ruling out anything outside of nature, which I do not think is intellectually honest.”

Even though it is legal to do so, most do not teach it. The scientist is convinced the elite are non-believers and do not want anything to do with religion.

“The elite are firmly committed atheists, so they are not willing to present anything that might oppose evolution,” maintains Prentice.

Such a stance is not good enough for some churchgoers.

“Everyone is getting really touchy about anything that has to do with Christianity. They are afraid it is going to offend people,” says Wendy Normand, churchgoer.

“There are so many unbelievers today – people veering away from God,” grieves fellow churchgoer Dereck Mansion.

They are worried the United States is heading in the wrong direction.

“America has shifted – it is no longer a Christian nation. It is now a post-Christian nation,” concludes Dave Prentice, adding, “God is responsible for this country existing, and if we push him out I think he is going to remove his hand of protection on us.”

Science and Payload Options for Animal and Plant Research Accommodations Aboard the Early Space Station 860953

NASA has completed a series of technology, system analysis, conceptual design and programmatics studies of accommodations for animal and plant research aboard the Space Station. Mission and science requirements are reviewed together with the special subsystems and trade studies which were accomplished as the basis for configuration and layout analyses. Conceptual designs are presented of the laboratory accommodations recommended by the contractors from their parallel, competitive studies. Development cost estimates and schedules are reviewed.
Resources to develop the Initial Operational Capability (IOC) Station Animal and Plant Research Facility and the Growth Station Animal and Plant Vivarium and Laboratory may be limited. Moreover, accommodations for animal and plant research may be minimal in the IOC Station. An approach is described for developing Initial Research Capability (IRC) Minilabs for animal and plant studies which in appropriate combination and sequence can meet the requirements of an evolving research program, in available accommodations and within foreseeable budget constraints.
