Time to find a date

Posted on August 9, 2022 by admin

Are you wondering if you have the guts to take a complete stranger to that awful 10 year school reunion that is looming? Wondering if it is worth it and if it beats the embarrassment of arriving on your own and sitting around hoping someone remembers you from all those years ago? Have all your mates already confirmed that they will be taking a date with them, leaving you feeling under-whelmed at the prospect and undecided as to whether you can face it?

But what if you ended up not going just because you were on your own for the night and ended up regretting it until the next reunion came around again, giving you a chance to redeem yourself? What if you miss out on a great opportunity to catch with people you haven’t seen in since before the pandemic all because you didn’t have the energy to pitch unhitched? What if you could take someone with you who was low-maintenance, with a great sense of humour, who was easy on the eyes and who understands that they would not be the focus of the evening? What if you could just rent a non-sexual date?

Why not! More people than you realise are already doing and have been doing it successfully for events such as weddings, work “do’s” and family parties. Not only are other people doing it, but there are hundreds of local women who are able to help you out for the night and, to make it even better, you can hand pick a non-sexual male friend yourself, to suit the needs of the event that you are going to.

Going home to gran who keeps asking about when you are planning to get married when all you want to do is focus on your career? Rent Karen… pretty, talented in the kitchen and loves picnics! Going to a business launch for the product you have been working on consistently 24/7 for the last 3 years, (which by the way is the reason you have no social life in the first place)? Time to shine … Rent Aleesha who lights up a room when she enters it, knows how to work a room and has a smile to light up the night. Best man at your mate from Uni’s wedding? Need a non-sexual friend who is independent and able to be social while you are busy with your best man duties but who will be there for the first dance? Rent Ann. Ann is a psychologist, a natural born socialite, from a large family of 7 siblings who knows exactly how family events can be!

Don’t stop living your life because you happen to not have a date at this stage of your life. No matter your age, whether you are male or female, looking for a male or female, there is someone from Dukes of Daisy who is happy to go along with you so that you can enjoy every occasion. When you rent a female date to keep you company there are no strings attached and its uncomplicated, agreed in advance so that you can relax and enjoy. What could be easier than that!

Unique charm and ambiance

Posted on August 5, 2022 by admin

the traditional diy marquee range

There is no doubt that hiring a marquee as an alternative to traditional venue hire, has become increasingly popular and serves as more than merely a place to for your guests to gather, offering a unique charm and ambiance which cannot be re-created in your usual brick and mortar venues. Any special occasion is made more memorable when you have a glamourous tent with all the trimmings to enhance the mood and make it an extra special event.

As industry renowned providers of marquees, we are often asked for Marquee hire advice, like best viable marquee sizes, what accessories or additions we have on offer, and about logistical issues such as how to heat a marquee, erect marquees and how to clean your marquee. Since marquees and their various components and uses are our lifeblood, we are always happy to assist our customers to find the perfect marquee for their various needs.

Good news is that whereas previously we only had supply of even length marquees (6x4m, 6x6m, 6x8m etc.) we have now extended our range and are able to supply “odd” length marquees in various sizes, which are listed on our website, thanks to our new 1m wide extension bays! While you are there, have a look at our stock of green marquees which offers a unique spin on the standard white marquee, while still offering the same quality as the best of range commercial grade marquees. Perfect for long-lasting sustained marquee hire.

DIY Marquees is invested in the longevity of their marquees for your use and so one of the most important tips that we can provide for marquee maintenance is ensuring that the marquee is kept as clean as possible and to avoid exposure to certain elements and substances. Cleaning of a marquee can take quite some time under normal circumstances, however if the marquee is exposed to certain situations, there is no choice but to put in the extra time to ensure that there is no long-term damage to the marquee. For example, if marquees are erected underneath trees, the fall-out from tree sap, or grim and dirt falling off the leaves which can be difficult to clean off, especially if it rains and the dust from the leaves transfers onto the marquee. While some stains can be removed from a simple wipe down, things like diesel and petrol can permanently stain PVC which is why exposure to substances such as these should be avoided at all costs. Another big issue is mould which can establish itself in the PVC itself if the marquee is packed away while still wet, so ensure that your marquee is stashed once fully dried to avoid long term problems.

Note that you are more likely to dirty the marquee in the process of dismantling or erecting it, than when it is standing erected. If you take care during these processes, the chances are likely that you might only have to clean the marquee once of twice in a season, which is, why we use high quality PCV and treat the marquees with lacquer to proactively ensure your marquee remains as low maintenance as possible.

Alleviating emotional blockages

Posted on August 2, 2022 by admin

Tantric Journey Module 1b courses

Start your tantric journey by first beginning to understand the connection between sacred sensuality and nature’s unique ability to provide healing to the body through balance and therapeutic body work. To do this, a person would need to develop first an intellectual understanding of sacred sensuality and then allow it to deepen into a heart-centred knowing that human beings are essentially born free and so too should they life free. A tantric journey begins when you begin to investigate the roots of tantra and the pioneering works of Mal Weerarantne which focusing on helping men and women to improve aspects of their lives and begin to live a life that resonates with them as they embark on the path to empowering themselves.

While Mal Weeraratne himself exudes passion for his life’s work, which is a practical and compassionate approach to healing the body-mind connection through sacred sensuality, the basis of his teachings stem from the ancient Indian healing arts associated with emotional release. So as the body can find a physical release through tantra, so too can it find an emotional release. Research shows that the release of negative emotions can occur when Sacred Spot massage is performed, releasing, renewing and cleansing the body. Despite the abundance of research by scientists and spiritual guru’s alike, the benefits of tantric healing and the art of tantra comes under the firing line of questions about how and why it is so effective. The efficacy and the healing ability has been experiencing and report by thousands who have come to the tantric journey in search of a more meaningful body-mind connection. Those who have experienced the emotional detox for themselves, attest to the powerful healing experiences they have felt first hand.

Mal Weeraratne explains that the body mind connection is the understanding of how the thoughts can affect the physical body at a cellular level. Thoughts can disrupt the body’s innate ability to produce hormones, chemicals and energy, which regulates a person’s health and well-being. Negative thoughts are particularly powerful in that can be responsible for disease in the body and mind. Engaging with tantric practices, facilitates the body with the releasing of the negative thoughts and emotions, bring the body back into balance as well as bring awareness to the mind of the powerful impact of positivity can have on the physical. In light of the sensitivity of the tantric journey and the power of the sacred sensuality, treatment with Mal Weeraratne is progressive. As the client and the practitioner become connected, first through talk therapy, followed later by body work such as mediation and massage, the client-practitioner relationship, based on respect and understanding, develops and builds to the point where an emotional release can be achieved. On-going therapy of this nature has been proven to sustain an improved outlook and safeguards against developing illness and disease of both body and mind. This, partnered with a healthy awareness of the emotional and physical aspects of sacred sensuality, has the capacity to strengthen physical and emotional relationships,  and reducing risk of disease associated with imbalances and blockages.

DIY Marquees | Marquee Hire Advice | 01306 876767

Posted on March 6, 2022 by admin

How to clean your marquee

The obvious answer is whenever it needs it so maybe a better question would be how often should you expect to clean a marquee.

A marquee is far more likely to get dirty when being erected/dismantled rather than when it is actually up. If you’re careful when erecting and especially when dismantling the marquee then you can usually get away with a thorough clean only once or twice a season.

There are however a few exceptions:

The dirtiest marquee I have ever had was one that was erected under some trees. When it rained all of the dust and grime was washed off the leaves down on to our lovely marquee. If you’ve got to put a marquee up under trees expect to clean it immediately afterwards.

Rain-skirts by their very nature will always get muddy in the rain, these should be given a wipe over on pretty much every job.

Traffic-film – eventually PVC can have a grey layer build up which is especially difficult to remove. It takes a long time for this to happen (a year or two normally) but at this stage it needs a thorough clean using a chemical. The material also needs irritating (gone over with a brush or similar) to get this off. Once thoroughly cleaned the PVC should be as good as new.

Tree sap is a nightmare to remove.

There are also some things that will never come out:

Petrol/Diesel can stain PVC. This will never come out so avoid them at all costs.

Ingrained mould – this affects many marquees especially those that are stored when still wet. PVC is made of many layers, if a marquee is put away wet or if cheap PVC is used then water can get inside the layers and create mould which will never come out. Incidentally this is one of the reasons we use better quality 500gsm PVC than available elsewhere, it takes far longer for the layers to break down in better quality PVC.

4m x 6m Green PVC Marquee

Some garden chemicals can stain – I was shown a marquee recently that had green stains around the rain skirt which seemed to have come from a chemical added to the lawn.

Better quality PVC always helps, we use a lacquer coated PVC as it is easier to clean and lasts longer than the cheap alternatives. Contact us for more Marquee hire advice
