Hi everyone,
On the show today we heard from Gwendoline Alderton who is a local interior designer. Gwendoline pointed out that lots of people are updating that tired decor or even being adventurous and having an extension instead of buying or selling.
Some of the current trends in interior design include chandeliers and loud curtains! Apparently the 'in' colour for 2010 is turqoise and purple seems to be popular aswell.
If you don't want to spend lots of money on decorating or refurbishing your home, Gwendaline recommended a cheap trick which is to move things around in the home and maximise the space you have.
For more information on Gwendaline and her interior design services, visit www.ga-interiors.co.uk.

Interview with Michelle Hart from the Centre for Voluntary Services
Hi everyone,
We've just heard from Michelle at the Centre Voluntary Services in St Albans. Michelle comes into the studio each month to talk about the voluntary services in St Albans and update us on what's happening.
Michelle pointed out that in the recent snowy weather, many people haven't been able to get out. Organisations such as the Good Neighbours Scheme and Harpenden Helping Hand are examples of groups that you can get involved in to help those who are in need.
Michelle also mentioned that if you're looking to do something healthy this year you could join the Countryside Management Service - they're looking for people to lead health walks.
We were also told about the benefits on volunteering, particulary in this economic climate where some people are struggling to find work. Volunteering is a great way to try something different and a chance to for people to get some great experience.
For more information on voluntary positions available, contact the Centre for Voluntary Services in St Albans on 01727 852657 or you can go to www.cvsstalbans.org.uk or www.do-it.org.uk for more information.
