-Hello and welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-It feels like winter today.

-Well, forget about the weather and

-curl up with us and our first guest.

-The fireman, Wil Bowen

-chats about safety in our homes.

-Welcome to the programme.

-This is what else we've got for you.

-We view the latest collections

-on the high street with Huw Fash.

-Dr Ann also discusses endometriosis

-that affects one in every ten women.

-Gweirydd addresses the changes ahead

-on the cusp of a new financial year.

-Ieuan answers gardening questions

-from Bethlehem Chapel in Pwll-Trap.

-We'll sort out your finances

-and gardens before 3.00pm today.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-Our first guest of the afternoon is

-the fire station manager, Wil Bowen.

-Wil is here to highlight the

-importance of safety in the home.

-Before this, let's discuss

-the issue of mountain fires.

-Wild fires have already started.

-They cause a big problem for us.

-Farmers put some of their land

-on fire...

-..to encourage new grass.

-However, some young people

-put areas on fire...

-..that are near towns.

-Our services are out to stop

-these fires...

-..and it takes our time away

-from other serious fires.

-It can take hours to stop a fire.

-I was trying to stop one over the

-weekend and it took eight hours.

-It takes far more time to stop

-people who really need us...

-..due to these problems.

-Farmers and landowners

-start these fires.

-Yes, farmers also start these fires.

-The fires can go out of control.

-The wind can cause this.

-We work with farmers

-to try and stop fires like this.

-Young people are usually to blame

-in areas within towns.

-We can't be on every mountain

-to stop these.

-People in the community

-knows what go on.

-If you know anything,

-please let the police know.

-Let's move on to safety

-in the home.

-What keeps us safe in the house?

-The most important thing

-is to have a working fire alarm.

-These are less that 5 in stores.

-We ask that you have one

-on every floor of your home.

-Every station will go out

-and assist you in the home.

-They will also put

-your fire alarms up for you.

-We can support you to guarantee

-that you won't have a fire.

-Fire alarms won't prevent a fire...

-..but will help to make

-you aware and save your lives.

-The standard alarms working on

-batteries is the cheapest option.

-Alarms usually last ten years.

-There is no excuse

-not to have them.

-Half of fires in home are caused

-by cooking accidents.

-It only takes a few minutes for you

-to turn your attention.

-You have to stay with the cooking.

-Turn the hob down

-if your phone goes or if someone...

-..is at the door.

-What should you do

-if a fire breaks out?

-Stay where you are and call 999.

-Don't attempt to tackle the fire

-and leave it to the professionals.

-Keep your head and get everyone out

-as quickly as possible.

-Do not waste time looking

-for valuables.

-Thank you for joining us.

-Let's head over to Huw

-in the fashion corner.

-What have you got for us today, Huw?

-Spring has arrived.

-Today, I've got different materials.

-When the new collections arrive

-in the stores...

-..it is nice to have

-the different materials...

-..that differ from

-the winter materials.

-Sian is our first model.

-I'm playing with two textures

-in this outfit.

-The blouse and the jacket are made

-of two different materials.

-The jacket draws your attention.

-Sian did the button up

-on the jacket...

-..and it did spoil the look.

-They are using a lot of

-man-made fabrics in the stores now.

-Most of them are breathable.

-You don't have to worry

-when wearing man made fibres...

-..as they will keep you warm.

-Sian's outfit is from Next.

-The blouse is 26.

-It's 40 for the jacket.

-The jacket is in Next tailoring.

-Some people wouldn't think

-of using it...

-..as they would think

-of tailoring for work.

-I spotted the blouse yesterday.

-I wanted to match items with it.

-The jacket is from Next Tailoring.

-Check the label as it might be able

-to go into the washing machine.

-If Sian turns around, you can see

-that we've had to be careful...

-..as the blouse is see-through.

-Depending on your age, you might

-have to place a cami top underneath.

-Our next model is Sophie.

-I've gone for shiny items here.

-There's a lot of shiny satin.

-You would expect to see these items

-closer to Christmas.

-These are in stores for the summer.

-We don't have a lot of sun...

-..and I believe that the designers

-are trying to add shine...

-..to our lives.

-The ethnic look is great.

-The pattern on the blouse

-is wonderful.

-I've teamed the job

-and jacket with jeans.

-The shiny bag is great.

-Metallic shoes are very popular.

-We're talking about shoes that

-look like those of Miss Marple.

-It makes the outfit looks great.

-There's something 1970s

-about this look.

-Christine is our final model.

-There was a suede jacket in H&M.

-This is in the new collection.

-It's 39.99 for the jacket.

-The material looks great

-and it has wonderful detail.

-If Christine opens the jacket,

-you can see the blouse.

-Again, this is made from

-man-made material.

-These will cling to the body.

-You have to be careful

-with what you wear underneath it.

-I've teamed it

-with cropped trousers.

-The flat shoes are everywhere

-on the high street.

-After the break,

-Dr Ann discusses endometriosis.

-Gwenllian McAteer is a sufferer

-and shares her personal story.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-As usual on Thursday Dr Ann is here

-and today we discuss endometriosis.

-The condition affects

-one in every ten women.

-I've never heard of it

-so what exactly is it?

-Not many people have heard

-about this condition.

-It can be incredibly painful.

-In women...

-..there are problems

-in the lining of the cervix...

-..and it can be serious.

-You have cysts...

-..that should be

-in the cervix outside.

-It depends where

-the endometriosis is.

-You would see small pieces

-of what looks like chocolate...

-..and they swell

-and cause incredible pain.

-If it affects the cervix, it can be

-very painful to go to the toilet.

-It can also cause you

-to be infertile.

-Let's hear how this condition

-has affected Gwenllian McAteer.

-It took 14 years for me to be

-diagnosed with endometriosis.

-I'd never heard of the condition.

-There was a lack of information and

-the problem remains the same today.

-There are several symptoms

-caused by endometriosis...

-..and the main one is pain which

-many experience during a period.

-But I experience it 24 hours a day.

-I rely on medication

-to function normally...

-..to hold down a job,

-be a mother and partner.

-I was given morphine for over a year

-and it has a negative impact on me.

-I don't recall my child's birthday

-or moving home and I couldn't teach.

-I've suffered from it for years,

-but a specialist in Liverpool...

-..told me I was fortunate to

-have conceived my two daughters.

-I'm so grateful for them

-and count my lucky stars.

-On top of the pain it can affect

-your mental and emotional state.

-Sometimes, I find it difficult to

-accept it as a chronic condition.

-After five treatments in over three

-years, it still hasn't got better.

-Chronic fatigue is a problem.

-You feel you've only had a hour of

-sleep despite sleeping all night.

-You can experience sharp pains

-when going to the toilet.

-It's a battle to complete

-normal tasks such as hoovering.

-When I'm ironing, I can't stand

-for more than ten minutes.

-I couldn't be a proper mother

-when I was suffering greatly.

-I couldn't have coped without

-my mother and mother-in-law.

-Seek medical advice if you suspect

-you're suffering from endometriosis.

-I recommend that you contact Fair

-Treatment for the Women of Wales.

-They've got a website

-and a Facebook page.

-They provide advice and support

-for women who need a diagnosis.

-I want to live my life

-without depending on medication.

-I want to be in less pain,

-be a mother and continue to work.

-I'm looking at other treatments.

-But for now I'm living one day

-at a time and trying to enjoy.

-Thank you to Gwenllian

-for sharing her story with us.

-It's important to raise awareness

-of this.

-It took Gwenllian 14 years

-to get diagnosed.

-It has improved

-over the last few years.

-The main symptom is pain

-during your period.

-It takes over two years

-for women to realize...

-..that they have pains

-at different times.

-The medical treatment

-would be to reduce oestrogen.

-Oestrogen makes the cyst swell.

-If you want children,

-the only thing you can do...

-..is have an operation

-to get rid of the endometriosis.

-It can be a long process.

-It will return after two years.

-You will need more treatment.

-You need to be diagnosed early.

-I'm so glad Gwenllian

-has two children.

-Help is available.

-After the break...

-..Gweirydd will discuss debts and

-changes in the new financial year.

-Our gardening expert, Ieuan

-also answers questions of members...

-..of Bethlehem Chapel,

-Pwll-Trap near St Clears.

-We'll see you in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

-We welcome our financial expert,

-Gweirydd ap Gwyndaf.

-A week remains until the end

-of this year's financial year.

-Before we turn our attention to the

-next year, we take a look at debts.

-A lot of people who are in debt are

-having problems paying them off.

-Debt is becoming a problem.

-It's been rising since 2006.

-The government has also been cutting

-their spending.

-This has had an impact.

-Many companies have taken advantage

-on those who took out debts.

-There's more pressure on people

-to pay back their debts.

-What would you advise those in debt?

-There's also a problem with debt

-collectors at your door.

-Speak to the debt companies and some

-charities like Step Change.

-Don't bury your heads

-in the sand over it.

-The new tax year

-starts on 6 April 2017.

-Here are some of the changes you

-should be aware of from 6 April.

-The ISA annual maximum allowance

-is increasing...

-..from 15,240 to 20,000

-in the next tax year.

-This is part of a trend.

-They want to combine it

-with pensions.

-Interest rates aren't high

-at the moment.

-Continue to pay into an ISA as the

-rates could grow in a few years.

-If you have a cash ISA and a stocks

-and shares ISA...

-..how much can you have in both?

-You can have a cash

-or stocks and shares ISA.

-It depends which way you want to

-invest your money.

-Many people don't want

-to take risks.

-ISA's aren't as popular

-as they used to be.

-People aged between 18 and 40 can

-save for their first home...

-..and retirement

-using the new Lifetime ISA.

-You can save up to 4,000

-per year in cash.

-You invest it over a longer term

-into stock market...

-..and receive a 25% bonus

-from the government.

-There are conditions

-on how you utilize this money.

-You either keep for retirement

-or buy a house out of the savings.

-4,000 is a lot of money.

-It's worth doing this if you are

-saving for a home...

-..or you haven't saved enough

-pension for retirement.

-You invest it over a longer term

-into stock market...

-..and receive a 25% bonus

-from the government.

-Could my parents do this for my son?

-You have to be over 18

-to open a LISA.

-You can save for your children.

-Parents can give the money to their

-children who want to buy a house...

-..and they can invest it in a LISA.

-Inheritance Tax is set to rise.

-At the moment,

-the threshold is 325,000.

-A new limit is set to be introduced

-in April 2017...

-...which will allow each individual

-to pass on estates...

-..valued up to 500,000 tax-free.

-There will be an extra 175,000

-inheritance tax allowance...

-..for those who leave their homes

-to their children or grandchildren.

-This will rise over a period of

-three years.

-It's very difficult

-to do any gardening in bad weather.

-Therefore, Ieuan has been busy

-answering members questions...

-..from Bethlehem Chapel,

-Pwll-Trap near St Clears.

-Do you recommend cutting heather

-after it has finished blooming?

-There's nothing wrong with giving

-the plant a light trim.

-At the same time, you can rid the

-thin stems that have overgrown...

-..in order to keep the compact shape

-of the plant.

-But don't do any harsh trimming down

-towards these bare stem areas...

-..as it won't grow back from here.

-Be careful when you give it a light

-trim with a scissors...

-..and leave enough stems

-that carry the green leaves.

-When is the best time to cut the

-lawn for the first time in spring?

-That depends on the weather through

-the winter and beginning of spring.

-If it's been a hard winter and cold

-spring, with not much growth...

-..then you can delay the first cut

-until the end of April.

-You don't want frost after doing it,

-as it'll ruin the lawn.

-This year, we've had mild weather

-and we've experienced some growth...

-..and you need to cut it now.

-Once you do the first cut, it will

-encourage the grass to grow faster.

-You'll have to continue to cut it

-regularly after the first cut.

-I don't have a greenhouse,

-what tomatoes grow best outdoors?

-When we experience good summer

-weather, you can grow any type.

-The one that comes to mind

-is the tomato Red Alert.

-It ripens early and

-is popular to grow outdoors.

-Other types have been bred including

-Fantasio and Crimson Crush...

-..which are believed to withstand

-the disease, blight.

-I'd advise you to try those for a

-successful increase in growth.

-What is best to do with Astilbes

-in the autumn?

-Dispose of the old leaves

-when they turn yellow in November...

-..and trim the stems that carried

-the flowers down to two inches.

-You don't want to cut it any smaller

-or you might damage the new buds.

-Many are avid gardeners,

-but are too shy to ask questions.

-It is certainly worth seeing some

-of the gardens.

-I've enjoyed myself and have learnt

-a lot from the answers I received.

-Very informative,

-and we're never too old to learn.

-There's won't be a snail or mole

-in any of the gardens from now on.

-Don't forget to contact us if you've

-got a gardening question for Ieuan.

-The details are on the screen.

-Don't forget to join

-Rhodri on Heno tonight.

-We hear of the worldwide success

-of a Ceredigion goat milk company.

-There's an exclusive announcement

-about the Eisteddfod concerts.

-Soprano, Elin Manahan Thomas, is in

-the studio so tune in at 7.00pm.

-Join us after the break for Huw Fash

-and more high street fashion.

-Ieuan assisting our viewers.

-Get in touch with us if you want

-a makeover from Huw and the team.

-Next Monday, our makeover team

-will be in Lampeter.

-We like going out to do makeovers.

-We don't know who is the recipient.

-What have you got for us now, Huw?

-We've got more spring collections

-and various fabrics in the shops.

-Sian is our first model to return.

-There's silk, jersey and chiffon

-in this blouse.

-There are three different fabrics

-that work well together.

-It's 29.50 for the Per Una blouse.

-It's a statement piece too.

-It will work well with blue or white

-jeans in the summer.

-It will be easy to roll up and pack

-in your suitcase and is lightweight.

-The trousers are also tailored.

-We've matched the look

-with a white bag.

-I like the details on the trousers.

-I like the detailing

-on the trousers.

-I was wondering where they were!

-Our next model is Sophie.

-I haven't showcased embroidery

-for a while.

-A few weeks ago, one of models wore

-a summer dress.

-Sophie's outfit is from Red Herring.

-It was similar to the pattern on

-this outfit.

-This print has followed me

-everywhere.

-Floral is popular at the moment.

-The khaki colour works well here.

-You can also team it

-with blue jeans.

-The blouse is pretty and

-comes in two layers.

-The camisole comes with it.

-You can also match it with

-three-quarter trousers...

-..or a floaty dress.

-You don't have to copy this look

-and mix it up with other garments.

-The prices are reasonable.

-There's always a sale coming up in

-the shops too!

-Look out for them.

-Our final model is Christine.

-The fabric isn't as interesting.

-I like the coloured panels.

-Christine is wearing an outfit

-from Principles.

-Principles is a label

-within Debenhams.

-The dress is 79.

-They have used a fabric

-in three colours and pleated it.

-A lot of work has been poured into

-this outfit.

-You can remove the jacket

-and wear a fascinator with it.

-You can also go casual.

-That's it from us today,

-but we return tomorrow at 2.00pm.

-Our Gossip Girls have their say

-and Lowri reviews the latest films.

-You can also win 100 or more

-in our Mwy Neu Lai quiz.
