Single bed frame shopping?

January 24th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in shopping

In my experience, most of the people that come in looking for a single bed frame are looking for something simple and are not really interested in choosing a bed frame that is elaborate.  After seeing the variety of designs and styles that are available, even in the smaller bed sizes, their opinion often begins to change.  Here are some of the options that are available in a single bed frame and how you can make the most of the smaller size of this bed, perhaps even gaining some additional storage space in your room at the same time.

Most people who are looking for a single bed frame are wanting to put it into a child’s room.  This is an excellent choice for a child, simply because most of the rooms tend to be smaller and they don’t need as much room as an adult.  Even one of the smaller mattresses, such as a single mattress however, is going to easily accommodate the child as they get older.  Most people don’t realize that a single bed frame is actually only about 5 inches shorter than a king size bed frame.  Many adults sleep in a single bed on a regular basis very comfortably.

There are some nice looking single bed frame options that are available and they will easily fit into almost any decor.  The metal bed frames that are on the market are some of the most preferred, simply because they come in a wide variety of colors and finishes.  There are even pink bed frames which are perfect for a girl’s room as well as some white and creme single bed frames that will fit in with almost any decor.  The railings on these beds are quite elaborate in many cases as well.

Of course, you don’t need to choose a metal single bed frame if that is not what you’re looking for.  There are many wooden frames that range anywhere from being very simplistic to being rather luxurious.  One of the more interesting things about some of these single bed frames is the fact that they contain drawers underneath them which can give you a considerable amount of storage space which you did not have available before.  These are perfect for tucking clothes out of the way or keeping a child’s room free from clutter by storing their toys neatly out of sight.

However, should you be requiring a bed for more than one person, a double bed frame and double mattress is a necessity, especially if your guests are couples used to sleeping in a double divan.

There is one thing that almost all homeowners have in common and that is that we are all looking for some kind of storage space from time to time.  Although we may have closets on the inside of our home, finding a way to keep track of all of the equipment that is needed to keep our garden may be another story, altogether.  For that reason, some people decide that they are going to put a garden shed into their yard that will not only keep everything in order, it will provide them enough space to gather new equipment as well.  Getting one of these garden sheds UK wide is really only as difficult as picking up the telephone.

They are also well built for outside use and include a special form of pressure treatment that is engineered to be able to stand up to any kind of moisture or weather.  As those of us who live in the UK now, moisture can often be a problem and the last thing we would want to have to do is to replace the garden shed on a regular basis.

Stop Bullying at School

September 17th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Education

1 in 4 children experience bullying at school. All schools have to have anti bullying policies in place and they are being strongly implemented in the majority of schools. So how can so many children still be suffering from bullying? Interestingly, 1 in 4 people  also experience bullying at work, where we are far less likely to find anti bullying policies. Something is wrong here. Our approach is not working.

Schools, as well as our workplaces, have a culture of bullying. It has become so normalised that often people are so used to seeing it happen, and it becomes so familiar to them, that they would not consider defining the behaviour as bullying. Instead it can be labelled as ‘being boisterous’, ‘boys will be boys’, ‘teasing’ or ‘having a bit of fun.’ It is essential that we always take a look from the victims’ perspective. If you are an adult, and someone you didn’t particularly like pinged your ear, you would likely get mightily upset. Yet when a child complains that someone pinged their ear, adults very often belittle the experience: ‘Just ignore them’ or ‘well ping his ear back then’. Would you really do either of these things as an adult?

Teaching is at the top of the list of professions that suffer from bullying. If teachers get bullied more than anyone else and there is a bullying culture among the staff then how can we expect them to stop bullying among the pupils. Are the bullying teachers really going to allow the anti bullying policies to be implemented? Let’s tackle the culture, change our definition of normality and do something unfamiliar: Stand up for change.

Buy Roberts Radios UK

May 17th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Gadgets

Harry Roberts and his associate Leslie Bidmead started their own company designing, manufacturing and selling “transportable audio receivers” in London UK in 1932. He steered a culture of innovation, excellence and service that was to ensure the success of the Roberts Radios brand for years to come. In just 3 years, the company was manufacturing 8 radios per week, a large number for the time.

Imaginative design coulped with unique manufacturing process meant that Roberts Radio captivated the World’s attention and Roberts Radio became a PLC (Private Limited Company) on 23rd April 1937.

It was in 1941 that Roberts Radio moved to new premises, the war time bombings had made it difficult for them to continue to work in their native London. After a move to Surrey, Harry Roberts, the company’s founder reveived pleasant news by way of a telephone call informing him of the news that he’d received his first Royal warrant. Her Majesty the Queen of England had purchased her very own Roberts Radio. It was the first of three Royal warrants for the company.

Innovation and development has resulted in the what we know now as the current spread of four distinct ranges combining traditional materials and skills with modern manufacturing process and cutting edge technology. The Roberts REVIVAL and also the CLASSIC ranges have hand made cabinets made from the finest wood from skilled craftsmen.

The LIFETIME collection offers high tech design within budget and the WORLD range of Roberts radios are sophisticated yet stylish receivers that allow you hear worldwide music, news and audio of interest, regardless of your present location.

New models in the range include the Roberts Robi the Roberts Sound 23 DAB CD System and the Roberts cath kidston radio. Also check out the HDMI Cables.

Office Chairs and Castors Choice

May 16th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Uncategorized

I was asked by a client if I could find an office furniture solution to a problem they were having in their home office after they had bought some office screens from us. The type of flooring was allowing their office chairs to scoot about the floor. They were looking at using chair mats, which are not cheap, or very easing to the eye. The best solution for all was to fit braking castors or rubberised tyred castors to the leather office chairs.

The braking office chair castors ensure when the user sits on the chair it does not move. The only draw back with that is if you need to move slightly over to another area of your office desk you need to take your weight off the seat.

The rubberised castor have more grip than your standard plastic castor, and allows movement whilst sitting on the chair. These are as you can imagine most useful in the home office environment, due to the different surfaces we have in our houses.

Four Steps to Finding the Ideal NLP Practitioner Course for You

April 26th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Education

A NLP Practitioner Course is a very powerful experience and can give you tools to expand every area of your life in some very serious ways. Whilst there are huge benefits NLP Training is a big investment of time, money and energy. There are a lot of NLP Training Courses in the market at varying prices, durations and skill levels of the trainers. Bearing this in mind it is worth spending the time to find the right course for you. Here are four things you should consider before choosing the ideal course for you.

1) Read around the subject and find out what you want to get from it.

Having a clear purpose and a knowledge of how the content of a course could serve that purpose will give you a lot of direction for finding the right course for you.

Do you want to enhance your professional skills, if so in what way and for what purpose? Are you interested in therapy either as a client or becoming a therapist? Are you interested in flirting and dating applications? Perhaps you are looking to restructure your business to make more profit and want to use NLP techniques to give your business that edge. You might be a sales professional, student, trainer, poker player or coach wanting to expand your skills.

2) Decide on your course criteria.

Courses range from having hundreds of delegates to just a dozen and sometimes even less. Large courses will give you lots of people to meet and share experiences with. Smaller courses will give you individual attention and content deliberately structured to suit you.

Type of courses range from weekends spread over several months and shorter intensive courses that range from five to ten days. Spread out course will give you the opportunity to take small bite sized slices at the material moving at a leisurely pace. The shorter courses are intensive and fully immerse you in the subject. A stronger depth of skill is obtained on intensive courses because of the momentum and intensity that can be reached. For example consider the difference between watching a film in one sitting against breaking it up into twenty minute segments and only watching one every day. The content is the same but the quality of experience is totally different.

Incidentally, price, location and time should not really be considered as criteria. If this is the most important learning experience that you will have in your life so far, would you want to make sure it was the right one? And would it be worthwhile waiting until you have the money, the time to travel for exactly the right experience?

3) Shortlist two or three courses and then research the NLP trainers.

Spend some time reading about the trainers and the content they cover against your needs and values. You will learn more from trainers that match your learning style, values and that you can build rapport with. Read some of the articles the trainers have written and ask yourself the question “would I be happy letting this person train me on an unconscious level?”, because that is a fundamental part of NLP Training.
Phone the trainers, have a discussion with them and ask them to demonstrate to you that they can train you in your specific applications for NLP. Any good NLP Trainer would be happy to give you something to take and use for your specific situation. This can give you a gauge on how well they will be able to train you on the course.

4) Match the content to your applications

It would be great having the right trainer but it still serves no purpose unless they were training you in something you wanted to be trained in. Take some of the ideas for how you want to use the material and see if you can match the course content to it.

When you talk to the trainer ask them to show you how the course content links with the applications you have in mind. Discuss your applications and see get their ideas of what results you can expect.

Ask for references and referral delegates so you can speak to. There is not a lot of point asking if they enjoyed the course and got something from it. This would be expected. The type of questions you might want to ask is how they are using the material, what results they are getting from it and how did the course match their expectations. You might also want to discuss your applications and how they see it linking with the course content.

An NLP Practitioner Course could be the single most powerful learning experience you have in your life. You will almost certainly be devoting a considerable amount of time, effort and money going on the course. For these reasons I think it is vital that you take the time to make sure you get on the best course for you.
