Jumping in memory of Richard Collins!

Sarah, Liz and Alexis are going to be doing a tandem parachute jump on the 13th June 2009.

Sadly Sarah and Liz lost their brother Richard, to bowel cancer last year and so they want to raise money for the Bobby Moore fund.

They have shown amazing bravery and courage in both talking about their brother/ friend and also by wanting to jump from 13,500ft in his memory.

So please find it in your heart to donate some money to the charity. click here

8 ways to stop you snoring

Are you struggling to get a bit of vital shut eye because of your other half's horrendous snoring habit? You are certainly not along. There are 15 million snorers in the UK, and research shows that 97% of their partners suffer from chronic sleep deprivation

Breathe better

If you find yourself having to breathe through your mouth because you can't through your nose, allergy or sinus issues could be to blame. Try using nasal strips to allow more air into the nose as well as a nasal spray to help clear congestion. Sleeping with a humidifier might also help relieve a stuffy nose and keep the throat moisturised. If nasal congestion isn't the reason for open mouthed snoring, adhesive strips are available to help keep the jaw closed during the night.

Find the cause

For some, snoring is due to the tongue obstructing the airway by falling into the back of the throat. The air tries to get past the tongue and into the lungs but causes the tongue or throat tissues to vibrate, making you snore.

Stop smoking and drinking before bed

We all know smoking and drinking leads to a whole load of health problems, but when indulged in right before bed they can also increase the chances of snoring. Drinking alcohol before bed acts as a muscle relaxant, causing the throat and air passage way to loosen up and become narrower. Smoking damages the natural lining of the throat which can also obstruct the airway, causing the not so delightful sound

Don't overeat

Eating a big meal before bed is not the best idea if you or your partner is prone to snoring. This can cause the food to sit in the stomach and put pressure on the diaphragm, making breathing more difficult and as a result, causing you to snore. In fact, researchers say being even just a few kilograms overweight can greatly increase the risk of snoring.

Lose the pillows

As much as we all love a good fluffy pillow or two, research shows that they can actually enhance snoring. While propping yourself up may be helpful for some, for others pillows put a kink in the neck that not only increases the chance of snoring, but can also make it louder.

Roll over

You are often more likely to snore and snore loudly if you sleep on your back. If you or your partner notice a decrease in the volume when you roll over onto the side or stomach, there is a simple trick you can do to quieten you down. It may sound odd and uncomfortable, but sewing a tennis ball to the back of your shirt might be the answer. The discomfort of rolling over onto the ball will keep you off your back.

Breathe in some steam

Taking a hot shower or using a vaporizer can help open the nasal passages. And since not getting enough oxygen is the main cause of snoring, aromatherapy might also help. Though it hasn't been proven, keeping an open jar of Marjoram oil by your bedside is also said to help

When all else fails...

Surgery should only be a last resort for the person who has tried everything. The goal of these procedures is to widen the airway by removing the tissue or excess soft palate in the back of the throat and/or the tonsils. There are four basic surgery's available used to help get of snoring once and for all: Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), laser-assisted uvuloplatoplasty (LAUP), Platal stiffening operations (CAPSO), and Radio-frequency ablation. Ask your GP for more information
