With Christmas credit card bills and the deadline for filing tax returns both looming, it’s no surprise that the question of finance is high on everyone’s agenda as the end of January comes ever closer…

So what better time to get some advice from an expert on the subject?

If creating financial success and freedom is your goal for 2017, join the Girls Around Town on Sunday when Serena Humphrey explains how doing so is a process and a skill that can be learned by anyone.

So she’s on a mission to help them make the big shifts needed to get radical results in their business and create their own plan for financial freedom.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out what your financial blueprint is, how to change it if you need to and how to make this the year you take the first steps to financial fitness!

Top of the hat parade

You’ve heard the saying ‘If you want to get ahead, get a hat’, haven’t you? If only it were that easy…

Getting a hat is one thing but getting the RIGHT hat is a different matter altogether! Choosing the colour to match or complement your outfit might not be too difficult but that’s just the start. Does it suit the shape of your face – your hairstyle – or even your body shape?

If you need a bit of help here, you could go online and ask Google but be warned – you’ll get over 1.9 million results if you do! Or you could join the Girls Around Town and their guest Jenny Dickinson on Sunday morning, which rather appropriately just happens to be National Hat Day.

As a personal stylist based in Lincolnshire who’s worked as a product development technologist for two of the UK’s biggest and best-loved fashion retailers, Jenny knows all about matching people with outfits that flatter them. So who better to share a few pointers on how to make sure the hat you choose for that special occasion is the crowning glory you want it to be?

She’s even promised to bring along some of the hats she has available for hire so June, Tina and Sue can try them on for size. Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon on Sunday to hear what Jenny has to say – and look out for pictures on Facebook to see how, in the words of top milliner Piers Atkinson,  a little bit of expert advice can help you to

Enjoy the hat, and make sure the hat doesn’t wear you; you wear the hat!

Be still and sparkling in 2017

pretty-woman-1509959_1920There’ll be more hints and tips from Fiona this week, in her first health and wellbeing spot of 2017.

But don’t expect magic diets and exhausting workouts, that’s really not her style – instead she’ll be talking about how to be Still and Sparkling, whether or not you’re a fan of mineral water!

If you’re a regular listener, you may remember hearing Nikki Whittaker from the Newark Tuneless Choir on the show a few months ago. Nikki will be back in the studio on Sunday but this time she’ll be talking to the Girls Around Town about her day job…

And a vital one it is too, as a safeguarding and training manager for PANDAS, a national network that supports mums through post and perinatal depression.

Affecting more than 1 in ten women with children under a year old, PND is a frightening and lonely place to be. Even now, many women struggle with symptoms and do not access help that is available. Nikki works with the 150 PANDAS volunteers up and down the country – very often women who have been through PND themselves – so that they can support people in their local area.

She’s aiming to make sure more of us know more about this condition in 2017 – tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out what she has planned for the coming months.
