Channel 4 is making a new, prime-time, 4 part series about
multi-generational households. They’re looking for large groups
of families and/or friends who are planning to pool resources in order
to buy, and live in, a dream property.
The idea is that things such as childcare, finances, working life
and leisure time all become easier if they are shared. It also means
people can live in an amazing house that they would otherwise not
be able to afford on their own.
Are you thinking of buying a dream house with your extended family
or a big group of friends that you would otherwise not be able to
afford?
Have you already found a place to buy? Or are you still looking?
If this sounds like you, and you would like to hear more about a
major new Channel 4 TV series that gives assistance to people like
you, then please get in touch now...

 Their
paingone
pen is a best seller - it's used to relieve pain. There are
certain restrictions so you should read these before you buy it.
As always anyone with pain problems should speak to their GP first.
This pen is held on the point of pain and you click the top 30-40
times. This relieves the pain. It's a strange sensation that some
people feel more intensely than others. For most people it's not
a painful sensation. It works using TNS. It creates a specific electronic
frequency through the nerve pathways to the brain which stimulates
endorphins. Endorphins are the body's natural pain relievers and
so it reduces the pain.
I've tried this and it's interesting. I was a little sceptical but
it seems to work. It takes only 30 seconds to use and can be carried
around with you. If you'd like a break from painkillers then this
might be suitable for you. Read the instructions carefully though.
You can use it through thin clothing which is useful if you have
a knee pain and don't want to take off your tights!

Events:
50Plus Around the World -
Tens
of thousands of Italian pensioners have converged on Rome for a national
rally, organised by unions to protest against the rising cost of living.
Budget 2005 What's in it for pensioners? |
From
the budget article on BBC - Pensioners will also receive a £200
winter fuel payment while the over-80s will get £300 - the
same as this winter.
More reasons to change energy supplier - this fuel payment being
the same as this years means because of inflation you're getting
less! Given that lots of companies have increased gas and electricity
prices this year means there is more incentive to switch to a supplier
who charges less for fuel so that you get better value for your
fuel payment money.
All pensioners in England are to be given free bus passes for off-peak
local services from next year.
The chancellor has increased the Pension Credit - a top-up income
for the UK's poorest pensioners.
