As the days pass you feel better and belter. So good in fact, you can't be bothered to make much of an effort to actually do anything. Relaxing and indulging yourself come first, second and third on your list of priorities. It's more than tempting to talk others into helping you out so you can take things easy. Trouble is, there are strings attached to any offers of help and you could end up owing a lot of favours.

You could easily end up stressed out if you don't use your energy purposefully and productively. All that tension is making you feel edgy and pressurised so the best v/ay to deal with it is to take some physical exercise; Once you've looked after your body, you'll find that you feel much better and it becomes easier to cope with a cash or career issue that crops up at the end of the week.


Relationships could get stretched to breaking point this week because you are likely to be feeling emotionally raw and vulnerable. It's time to shake off your past and break any ties that are shackling you to negative notions you need to forget about and leave behind. With some perspective, you can throw off the obsession you have with what others think about you and you can stop being so hard on yourself.

• ^Cancer__ Because you're worrying about your finances you're not in the best of moods this week. Everyone seems to have a claim on the little cash you have and you're not feeling particularly generous at present. It isn't that you don't care, but rather that you're worried about landing yourself vrith major money problems later. Be firm when someone comes up with a heart-rending story asking for your help.

You're determined no-one else should tell you what to do and you cling fiercely to your independence. The idea of being stuck In a rut worries you witless, and you're liable to follow your slightest impulse simply to stop boredom setting in. Those around you see you as moody, and although they love to have you around, you won't be at the centre of things as people sense you're not at your most reliable just now.

Radio Lancashire listeners may remember starring on the station’s cookery programme in the late 1980s, said: “I t’s exciting to work in a field that I retrained in and I am really enjoying it at Samles- bury. “The ambience of this hall lends an authenticity to the salerooms.”

Show declared a blooming success by Scott Smith .


ORGANISERS of Mellor Garden Club’s annual show have declared it a blooming success. The well-organised show,


which is now in its 16th year, was held at the Vil­ lage Hall in Mellor Lane, and attracted dozens of people. However, according to


Mrs Millie Clarkson, club" secretary, the overall num­ ber of entries being judged in the six categories was down on previous years. She believes th a t this


was most likely due to the temperamental English weather throughout the summer months - especial­ ly the harsh wind and heavy rain on the days prior to the event. Nevertheless, she said


th a t there was a “very high standard of quality” for all of the entries this year, but particularly so in


the children’s section. “There was a friendly


atmosphere among the vis­ itors, who were all enjoy­ ing the exhibits and meet­ ing other people from the village,” she added. One reason for the


unprecedented large turnout of children could perhaps have been th a t Mrs Christine Taylor, headteacher at St Mary’s Primary School, Mellor, was presenting the tro ­ phies. The category proved


very successful with an impressive 14 entran ts bringing a touch of floral colour with their fascinat­ ing exhibits. Results:- Best flower:
