WITH Easter upon us, how are you plan­ ning on spending the holiday with your family? iVillage.co.uk, the UK's leading website for women, offers the following tips to make the weekend special. Remember the good old-fashioned


Easter egg hunt? Families cana get back in the habit of spending time together with this simple and fun activity. If your family likes hard-boiled eggs,

then do the old-fashioned thing and boil eggs two nights before Easter, decorate the eggs on Saturday for the egg hunt on Sunday. Then after the hunt, there are treats to be enjoyed (or used in salads throughout the week). If they don't like hard-boiled eggs, plastic eggs (that can be filled with treats) can be found at stores. Or use chocolate eggs instead. Be sure to mark one egg as the "prize" egg. Whether you have one child or more,


this activity can be done with neighbours. Simply team up with your neighbours to decide whose garden you will use for the egg hunt or what local park is the best for hiding your eggs in case you don't have a garden (plus the park offers more places to hide eggs). Think of the best places in the garden or park for hiding eggs (really scout out

Instead of prizes, you could also offer


various "coupons" for the kids (especially good for plastic eggs) such as "this coupon allows you to stay up one hour past your bedtime on Friday" or "this coupon allows you one free toy under £5". It you have the extra cash to spend, hide coins in plas­ tic eggs. On the day of the hunt, have one par­


ent in charge of hiding the eggs while the other keeps the children occupied. If hiding eggs in the park, this parent


will need to stay on-site and guard the eggs from nature's hungry predators (squirrels). Once all the hiding places are con­


firmed, right clues to where the eggs are (you will need to make this as easy or as difficult as you want depending on the children's ages). Clues for the next egg can either be hidden where the egg is, or


the location to make the hunt as fun as can be).


Be sure to have a fun prize on hand lor . but also runner-up prizes. , , -

you could read out clues as you go. If you don't want to fuss with clues, this step can be completely left out, just have it a free- for-all hunt. If rain is forecast for Easter, have the


hunt in the house. You can also spend your free time with


the family making an Easter bonnet. This is great for children up to the age of 10. What you need: • A2 paper or a broadsheet newspaper O Yellow and green tissue paper • Selection of coloured papers and


cards (or pages from magazines) • PVAglue • Scissors What to do: Making the hat: 1. Take two sheets of A2 paper or four


double pages of a broadsheet newspaper and divide into pairs 2. Lay the pairs across each other in a


cross shape S.Place the centre of the paper cross


onto the head of the person whom the hat is for and press it down over their head 4. Ask your model to place their hands


on their head underneath the paper (to ensure the hat is not too tight), while you run masking tape around the outside - several times - to form the crown of the hat 5. Remove hat from head and trim brim


to desired size. Decorating the hat: 1. Using PVA glue, stick yellow tissue


paper to the outside of the hat and under­ side of the brim. Leave to dry 2. For a grass effect, cut strips of green

Parking charges aimed at making fines fairer


(WR.NGES are on the way wliich could see motorists pay less if they receive a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). New, national rules intro­


duced under the Traffic Man­ agement Act mean that Park- Wise - the county and district council run parking enforce­ ment scheme - will have new rates which aim to reflect the severity of the parking infringe­ ment more appropriately and are fairer for the motorist. For example; anyone over­


staying their Pay and Display time would pay a lower rate of £50 or £25 if paid within 14 days, whereas a motorist parked on double yellow lines would face a £70 charge or £35 if p£ud within 14 days. Exam­ ples of other contraventions which would incur a higher charge are parking in a bus stop or in a loa ding bay during restricted hours. Lower charges would be


applied where a motorist does not park correctly within the bay markings or for parking for longer than permitt^. County Coun. Matthew


Tomlinson, cabinet member for environment and transporta­ tion, said: “The new rules mean th a t infringements will be treated differently. “While the charge for more


serious contraventions has gone up slightly, those that are less serious in terms of keeping the


highways safe and free flowing, have gone down.


“However, people should


remember that these changes will not affect them a t all if they continue to park responsi­ bly.” Under the new Act, which


comes into force on March 31st, parking attendants will be known as civil enforcement offi­ cers (CEOs) and 4vill have new powers enabling them to issue a PCN through the post to motorists who drive off while the note is being issued. Pre\dously CEOs have been


put in danger as drivers try to escape without accepting their PCN, disregarding the safety of the person issuing it. 9 A decision was taken to


scrap the county’s controversial ParkWise scheme after project­ ed figures showed tliat it would be almost £lm. in the red at the end of the five-year contract with national parking firm NCP, which runs it, in 2009. A spokesman said this week


that it is still unclear whaf will happen at the end of the cur­ rent contract in September next year. A comprehensive financial audit is being under­ taken and the results are not anticipated until the summer. Regardless of what happens,


it was stressed that there will still be parking enforcement throughout the county after 2009.

Funeral Planning


Although many people have had the foresight to take out life insurance, what they have not done is to check exactly what that policy will provide. Funeral costs are rising at an alarming rate and not all life insurance policies are adequate. The consequence of this is that surviving relatives can be left with a debt.


An Age Concern Funeral Plan guarantees to freeze funeral directors costs at today’s prices. There is also an inflation linked contribution towards such things as cremation and burial fees. With a choice of plans available and various payment options you can find an arrangement to suit you.


Age Concern Lancashire Open: Mon, Tue, Thurs, Fii lOam - 3pm " ‘

When the time comes a single phone call from a friend or relative will set the plan in motion and ease the burden of responsibility from those left behind.
