Due to the recession lots of us don’t have that much money left over to spend. But thanks to the new craze of ‘swishing’ that shouldn’t be a problem.
Swishing is the new way to swap your old clothes and accessories for a whole lot of new ones. Galaxy are supporting this campaign by holding a swishing party of their own.
They’ll be at Crystal, 23-32 Carver Street Sheffield on Thursday 30th April with the Hirsty’s Daily Dose cast. The swishing kicks off at 7.30pm and is for over 18s only. To get tickets go to http://www.galaxyyorkshire.co.uk/come-to-our-party-5306.
If you don’t fancy that then why not hold your own swishing party. All you need to do is get a few friends together and ask them to bring about 5 garments round with them and get swishing.
It’s a great way to save money, and also makes a great night in. If there are any clothes left over you could always give them to a charity. You’ll be getting a new outfit and helping someone.
Hannah McCann a former swisher said “Due to everyone been skint lately, swishing is a great way to get a new outfit. Not only that but it’s a good laugh and a great night out. Any thing that was left over we bagged up and gave to Oxfam.”

Mumps - Students Beware!
Thursday 2 April 2009
0
Sheffield University has been hit with an outbreak of mumps. An email has been sent out to all students warning them of the virus which is being spread from students still attending University with the common disease.
The email stated that the University is ‘currently experiencing an outbreak of mumps in the student population. At the end of February the total number of cases notified was 28. By the end of Monday, March 30th, the number of cases had risen to 75 with more cases presenting yesterday.
For all those that do not know what mumps is: Mumps is a viral infection of the parotid salivary glands. Mumps is caused by a contagious virus, which is transmitted through the air from the coughs and sneezes of infected people.
It takes 14 and 21 days for the symptoms of mumps to develop, after coming into contact with someone who has the virus. Mumps is normally a mild illness, but in a minority of cases there can be severe complications, such as deafness, infertility and meningitis.
Students at the University have been urged ‘to have an MMR booster if they had not already had 2 MMR vaccinations’. Those that have caught the virus are told to stay at home to prevent the epidemic from spreading.
Beware students, the disease can cause infertility and also the guys painful testicular swelling!
