Make your party complete with a photobooth
So, the venue is booked, the food is sorted and the disco is organised. What else is there to sort for your party – which is bound to be the party of the year. You’ve got balloons, bubbles, sparkly bits for the tables and all the guests have RSVP’d. The only thing you really need to add now, if you really want your party to go with a bang, is a photo booth.

Benefits and Employment Allowance – Find out what you are entitled to.
We constantly hear about Benefit Britain, and how the amount of benefits claimed are now a major drain on the country and the economy, but there are actually many people who do not claim a penny of what they are entitled to. For many people, particularly those who were previously entitled to incapacity benefit, the idea of claiming at all is frightening, from the copious amount of paperwork that you are required to fill in, to just not knowing if you are entitled to anything, and therefore sticking your head in the sand. In addition, for those on low incomes, but still working, the question is always ‘am I really…

My most recent silver acquisition is a beautiful and delicate piece that was actually picked up on Amazon. The Mini Stars beaded charm bracelet is…

Reviewed – Dead Sheep at the Birmingham Rep
“Being savaged by Geoffrey Howe is like being savaged by a dead sheep.” – Denis Healey One of the greatest political stories of modern times is that of how the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, was ultimately brought down by her most loyal acolyte, Geoffrey Howe. The man who had been described by playwright Jonathan Maitland as Thatcher’s ‘political soulmate’ became her Brutus, her assassin with a resignation address that opened the floodgates to the growing dissent that had already been rumbling in the Conservative government. ‘Dead Sheep’, which opened at the Birmingham Rep last night, looks into the intrigue, the key political characters of the time, and also the premise…
