Is your house or office out of control? Do you have drawers or cupboards you dread opening? Or wish your paperwork was neatly filed and easily accessible?

If you’ve been accumulating clutter over the years and don’t know where to start when it comes to getting things organised, help is at hand from next week’s guest…

Gail Scattergood – aka The Space Angel – joins the Girls Around Town on the show to explain how she creates order out of chaos in her clients’ homes and work places.

Find out how employing a professional organiser can help you develop an effective working environment or give you the peace of mind that comes from living in a comfortable home that suits your lifestyle.

As one of her clients, Nadine Cooper will be in the studio too, explaining what prompted her own decision to involve Gail in a garage makeover earlier this year. How did it go? What did she learn from the process? And crucially, it is still spick and span or is the dreaded clutter beginning to creep back in again?

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday for the answers to these questions and more – and there’ll be information from Nadine too about the new Tuneless Choir launching in Newark later this month.

autumn

Although it seemed to be a long time coming, with a little luck there’ll still be chance to enjoy a few more days – or even weeks – of summer before the season of mellow mists and fruitfulness brings its own unique delights.

But the Girls Around Town are already looking ahead to autumn and, on this week’s show, Fiona be offering some timely hints and tips on how to get the most out of the new season.

Find out how to make the switch from summer salads to autumn fruit and vegetables – get the lowdown on healthy habits for youngsters starting a new school term –  and, if you fancy spoiling yourself, Fiona’s got that covered too (from top to toe!) with suggestions for a few treats for face and feet.

Tune in on listen online between 10am and 12 noon for a mellow Sunday morning with June and Fiona…

Counting down to cake week

bake off

Just a few hours to go until it’s time to get ready, set, bake!

Twelve new contestants will be donning their aprons, rolling up their sleeves and doing their best to impress the judges as The Great British Bake Off 2016 gets underway.

And with the focus on cakes tonight, it’s no surprise that June, Tina and Sue will be joining millions of viewers across the country glued to the TV to find out what this year’s amateur bakers will be facing.

Whose buns will come out on top? Will there be any soggy bottoms? And above all, will there be chocolate?!

Rumour has it that things don’t go too well for some of the contestants, with four of them forced to ditch their cakes and start their recipes from scratch in the showstopper challenge. It sounds as though there may be a few tears and tantrums in the Bake Off tent tonight…

On their own show this Sunday, the Girls Around Town will be turning the spotlight on the phenomenon that is GBBO. They’ll be making some early predictions about favourites for this year’s title and looking at some of the reasons why a massive 15 million viewers tuned in to see Nadiya Hussain take the 2015 title last October. What’s the betting Mr Hollywood features on their list?!

Join them on air or listen online between 10am and 12 noon – and why not take part in the debate by adding your own thoughts and comments to the GAT Facebook page?
