\nLONDON, UK (November 19, 2020) \u2013 As much of the UK settles into its second national lockdown, ourscreen\u2019s Virtual Cinema is partnering with M&M’s to keep the social side of cinema alive with M&M’s Movie Moments, offering 5,000 fans the chance to see films \u2018together\u2019.<\/p>\n

Refusing to be deterred by closed screens and social distancing, Virtual Cinema allows fans to virtually enjoy the social experience together, in real time, from the comfort of home.<\/p>\n

Now the platform is partnering with their first lead brand partner, M&M’s, for M&M’s Movie Moments, bringing a special presentation of two films to the unique platform with 5,000 tickets up for grabs courtesy of M&M\u2019s, redeemable at virtual.ourscreen.com with the code MIKE-HOTEL-FOXTROT.<\/p>\n

M&M\u2019s Senior Brand Manager Ryan Pardo-Roques said \u201cThis was a fantastic opportunity to strengthen M&M\u2019s association with streaming and adapt our strategy to be relevant during lockdown when new behaviours are emerging and industry rules are being rewritten. We worked with ourscreen to offer unique value to M&M\u2019s customers whilst they are unable to meet up in person and go to the cinema together. We believe any moment can be brightened up with humour and we hope this campaign will create moments of shared joy which customers can experience together in the virtual world and also enjoy some M&M’s while they watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

ISLANDS: THE HOT TOPIC OF THE KITCHEN WORLD<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Planning your perfect kitchen is a huge task and finding out what design suits your family\u2019s lifestyle is very important. An addition of an island in large, spacious kitchens is becoming increasingly popular in customer\u2019s design plans, as they completely transform your kitchen\u2019s layout and provide added benefits such as; more storage space, extra seating and an additional food preparation worktop. Check out Magnet\u2019s guide to the kitchen islands that are setting the trend this season.<\/p>\n

FREE-STANDING<\/p>\n

A free-standing island is a classic, timeless design. It is accessible from any angle, so you can host family games nights, load up with cocktails for a couples\u2019 night in or keep it free to create a more open spaced feel. A free-standing island is perfect for quality family time, as it enables plenty of room to bond with your nearest and dearest.<\/p>\n

An addition of an island in your design plans offers the opportunity for it to be turned into a breakfast bar or dining table, like the example shown in the Tatton Graphite range. This provides you with the space for the whole family to congregate around and catch up after a long day.<\/p>\n

A POP OF COLOUR<\/p>\n

A contrast of colour in the home has never been more on-trend. Taking the brave step to inject colour into your kitchen can be a challenge, especially when adding it to the focal point of the room. Make a bold statement with an intense colour island against a nude tone wall, your kitchen\u2019s centerpiece will be sure to stand out. The Dunham kitchen in particular catches your eye with its Pass the Merlot island paired with Truffle Oil cabinets, complimenting each other beautifully.<\/p>\n

You can either go brave with bright colours or stick to a more subtle change, designing the island to be a touch lighter or darker than the rest of the kitchen\u2019s units. The Tribeca kitchen demonstrates this perfectly, with a Graphite Grey island coupled with Dove Grey cabinets. With so many colours and tones to pick from, you can easily find the combination that fits your sense of style with Magnet\u2019s range of both brave and subtle colours. Head to Magnet\u2019s Virtual Kitchen Design Service and you can see for yourself how easy it is to create a colour palette to suit your family home.<\/p>\n

SUBTLE AND SEAMLESS<\/p>\n

To create a subtle and seamless feel, incorporating a handleless design will give your island a cool and contemporary touch. The inclusion of cupboards and drawers that have integrated handles will create an aesthetically pleasing island that will help open up your kitchen and make the room feel more spacious.<\/p>\n

Magnet\u2019s Integra Dunham kitchen island is designed with a streamlined, smooth matte painted finish, adding a modernised touch to the traditional shaker style kitchen. The clutter-free, striking design combines functionality with fashion, turning your kitchen design into a modern marvel.<\/p>\n

A TECH TRIUMPH<\/p>\n

A sleek, modern kitchen island is an ideal place to incorporate smart designs and appliances, allowing you to create your own tech hub.<\/p>\n

Due to the current climate, more people are working from home and kitchen islands have been turned into an office space. An addition of hidden power sockets is a clutter-free solution to ensure your tech devices are always charged up and ready to go without a wire in sight. Magnet\u2019s Integra LED Profile is a lovely finishing touch to your island. Incorporating these profile lights add a contemporary, modern feel to the kitchen and highlight the centre hub of the home.<\/p>\n

An inclusion of a kitchen island offers you the practicality and valuable extra storage and worktop space that is sought after by many families. During these cold, dark nights there\u2019s nothing better than coming home to your family and relaxing at the end of the day in a warm and welcoming kitchen. Magnet offers a wide range of designs and options that will guarantee your taste, lifestyle and needs are met. An island ties a kitchen together and is a place where everybody gathers, truly making the kitchen the heart and hub of an everyday home.<\/p>\n

Creating a YouTube Channel, TheMaskedJayDee, for my son helps with my anxiety for his future. My husband and I are older parents, and JayDee is our only child; seeing what happens, in the end, wasn\u2019t an option for me. When my son, JayDee, would play video games online, he would mimic his favorite gamers. I thought maybe there\u2019s something there that I can help him develop. After asking him if having his channel just like his favorites and entertaining kids would be something, he would want? After an exciting yes from him, I moved forward doing endless hours of research on how-to videos and planned accordingly. Setting up social media platforms for both him and myself, YouTube, Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedIn, and attaining subscribers and followers. Next, I worked on branding and image by using his avatar from Roblox\u2019s gaming platform for his life image to ensure his privacy. Having the right equipment for great videos and posting great content consistently is virtual. The most challenging task is reaching out to companies for a brand ambassador, influencer, partnership contracts, etc., you name it, I pitched it. The sky\u2019s the limit in this online gaming business; in just a few weeks, my son will have his very own video game, called \u201cTime Vehicles.\u201d When everything is all said and done, TheMaskedJayDee will have a well-established business that includes his YouTube channel, social media pages, a brand, contracts with significant company\u2019s, TheMaskedJayDee merch, and video games, and much, much more. This Christmas gift for JayDee makes his future unstoppable!<\/p>\n

How to build confidence in your home improvement project<\/p>\n

Home improvement has seen a huge rise throughout the pandemic. The increased amount of time people are spending at home, improving mental health and wanting their home to look nice for Christmas are all contributing factors to the 12.8 million people planning to do improvement work at home in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

In the run up to Christmas, 46% of Brits plan to undertake home improvements and 54% of them are planning to do the work themselves, with a whopping 61% admitting that they are not competent to do the job! That\u2019s according to figures released today from research undertaken by the financial services comparison company, GoCompare.<\/p>\n

At the start of the second lockdown, Housing Minister, Robert Jenrick, confirmed that tradespeople would still be able enter customers\u2019 homes to carry out work. However, in yet another example of confusion around the COVID-19 restrictions, the research reveals that 13% of those wanting to work on their homes believed that they couldn\u2019t have tradespeople in their home and 23% didn\u2019t want them in their home at all.<\/p>\n

With so many risks associated with undertaking works in the home, what else do you need to consider when using a tradesperson?<\/p>\n

Top tips for taking on tradespeople<\/p>\n

1) Get at least 3 firm quotes, not just rough estimates. Ignore any that are very different to other quotes.<\/p>\n

2) Ask friends and family for recommendations of companies who have already done work for them. If you don\u2019t know anyone who can make a recommendation, ask traders for details of customers willing to show you their work. TrustMark can provide a list of recommended traders in your area, each of whom in turn is registered with a professional trade association. TrustMark say they are the Government Endorsed Quality Scheme and if something goes wrong with a trader \u2013 and their process doesn\u2019t put it right – you will be able to use the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman for free. Check out reviews. Be careful and cynical of reviews on Facebook, particularly on the builder\u2019s own page. Scams abound on many sites. So, check carefully before making a decision!<\/p>\n

3) All professional builders should willingly agree to a written contract which includes an agreed staged payment plan. In addition to the contract, continuous communication throughout the project is the best way to avoid problems arising. Many traders are signed up to reputable trade associations which help them to get their paperwork in order, but remember, what comes naturally to a lawyer doesn\u2019t necessarily to a trader.<\/p>\n

4) Beware of websites that just offer to help you to find tradespeople. Often traders pay to be listed on these websites which generate leads for them, sometimes without the trader being vetted or required to abide by an Ombudsman or Alternative Dispute Resolution Service. If the website only helps you to spend your cash but doesn\u2019t help you put things right if they go wrong, avoid it and look for one that will help you at both ends of the project.<\/p>\n

5) In addition to providing lots of advice and information on services, Which? operates the Which? Trusted Traders scheme. Unlike a lead generation site, this carries out checks and requires traders to abide by a comprehensive code of conduct, all of which is underpinned by the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman which can independently investigate complaints if things do go wrong.<\/p>\n

6) Be wary of any builder who can start straight away! Any builder worth their salt will be busy!<\/p>\n

7) Check to see if the builder has public liability or employer\u2019s insurance which will give you peace of mind. Consider a building warranty that either they or you can take out to give you further peace of mind.<\/p>\n

8) Take photos before, during and after the work.<\/p>\n

9) For some larger projects, both parties can agree that an independent expert will value the work and payments can then be made at various stages during the project.<\/p>\n

10) If you\u2019re using a home improvement retailer to fit a bedroom, bathroom or kitchen, check that they are a member of the Furniture and Home Improvement Ombudsman before you buy. If they are registered, you\u2019ll benefit from free and independent dispute resolution if things go wrong.<\/p>\n

What if things go wrong?<\/p>\n

Helen Dewdney, The Complaining Cow, a consumer champion, has these tips:<\/p>\n

1) Try to resolve the matter in person or over the \u2018phone before formally writing if you have a complaint.<\/p>\n

2) Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you are entitled to goods of satisfactory quality, that last a reasonable length of time and services (such as fitting) to be carried out with reasonable skill and care.<\/p>\n

3) Give the trader an opportunity to remedy the work. If they refuse to do this or they fail to do it satisfactorily, then you can take the matter further. Ensure that you state that you retain your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, so that you are still able to claim if necessary afterwards when you write to complain.<\/p>\n

4) If the trader does not respond or does not remedy the faulty work, proceed with getting an independent report and 3 quotes. Get the work done and write to the trader requesting this amount, attaching the paperwork. You could attach a quote before the work is done to give the trader one last chance, if you wish.<\/p>\n

5) The Defective Premises Act 1972 relates to work undertaken by builders, developers, surveyors and architects. \u201cDefective\u201d, in legal terms, means work causing the property to be unfit for habitation as a result of design, workmanship or materials. Improvement, small jobs and refurbishments are not covered by this Act, so use the Consumer Rights Act 2015 instead.<\/p>\n

6) If the trader is a member of a trade association, you can contact it and see if you are able to use their dispute resolution scheme.<\/p>\n

Kevin Grix, Chief Executive and Chief Ombudsman at the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman, says:<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes even the most straightforward home improvement projects go wrong \u2013 and when they do the consequences for everyone involved can be dire. The temporary loss of amenities such as plumbing and electricity caused by a problem are often just the tip of the iceberg. Often when jobs go badly, traders and their customers find themselves in a stand-off, with work left incomplete and arguments over payments escalating.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are few more emotive disputes than those that involve the home. Dewdney says that good builders and tradespeople are not just adept with their tools \u2013 they also have processes in place to look after their customers. \u201cFor extra peace of mind, select those who demonstrate a commitment to standards and putting things right if they go wrong. Look for the ones who are registered with an endorsement website and with an Ombudsman.\u201d<\/p>\n
