The BIG Buzz!

It's Cash For Kids day today!!!!  We need to raise as much money as we possibly can to reach our £30,000.  Lots of brave peopl across South Yorkshire are shaving their heads to raise loads of money and X Factor's Matt Cardle was on Hallam FM this morning shaving heads.

The heat is on.  John and I took our driving test yesterday and it was very nerve wracking.  The thing that put me off the most was seeing John and James laughing at me through the rear view mirror!

How can I be expected to remember how to drive properly by BigJohnHallamFM

Over the weekend it's me that has the google ban.  So help me out on Monday if you can as no doubt I'll have lots of questions for you!

Have a lovely weekend.

The challenge in ON!!!!!

So today we (myself and John) are out on a Driving Test.  I'm determined to prove that I'm not a bad driver.  I'm currently banned from driving company cars so I'm gonna show him what I'm made off.  Don't tell him but I am pretty nervous.

This is not fair. by BigJohnHallamFM

Tomorrow is the last day to raise loads of money for CLIC Sargent with our Cash for Kids charity!  We need to raise £30,000 so more children with cancer can be helped.  We'll be out shaving peoples heads tomorrow for 'The Big Buzz!'

And find out what happened with our Date or Ditch couple Emma and Michael at 8.

See you tomorrow from 6am.

It's nearly time for Date or Ditch!

Tomorrow morning join us for Date or Ditch at 8am!  One lucky lady will have three men fighting for her affection.  She'll be kicking two of them to the curb to choose one man to take her out on a date tomorrow night.  She might be your type guys so make sure you listen tomorrow.

This morning I got MORE abuse about my driving.  Honestly you'd think I caused a ten car pile up!  I only scuffed some alloys ...  Thanks to Sarah for calling and backing my corner.

We've got £30,000 to raise for CLIC Sargent by the end of the week.  Thank you so much if you've already donated and are getting involved in the fundraising.  Our total raised so far this morning was £6984.  The Big Buzz is happening this Friday where people across South Yorkshire are shaving their heads or being creative with their hair to raise as much money as possible.  Listen out for more details.

See you in the morning!

Matt Cardle has been on the phone!

Matt was also touched by CLIC Sargent as a child and has been speaking to us ...

Matt Cardle has heard our appeal! by BigJohnHallamFM

The Big Buzz will be happening this Friday.  Can you get creative with your hair to raise money for CLIC Sargent?

Fancing a spelling test?  Tomorrow morning we have our school of the week doing some fantastic spellings - guess along with me and producer James and see if you can beat us.

Only a couple of days until Date or Ditch!!  if you fancy playing register now at www.hallamfm.co.uk/date

See you in the morning from 6.

CLIC Sargent

This morning we met a little star called Elijah and we're trying to raise £30,000 for CLIC Sargent http://www.hallamfm.co.uk/cashforkidsday  It's such a great cause and if you can donate anything whatsoever we'd be really grateful.

Thanks for your calls making me feel better about scraping the alloys last week.  Rebecca racked up £1600 worth of damage in a multi storey car park wrecking her company car, Ash was furiously trying to get an extra Mars Bar out of the vendors at work and broke the machine and you're not going to believe what happened to Natasha ....

What have you damaged at work by BigJohnHallamFM

Tomorrow morning we have another round of our 'Celebrity Yes No Game.'  See if you can play along tomorrow at 8 and see if you can guess who it is before Big John.

Thanks for all your donations so far.


Janine xxxx

It's Friday!

Dear Lookers Sheffield,

I'm writing to apologise for my wreckless driving and scuffing the alloys.  Firstly I want to say that the first time I did it I wasn't entirely to blame.  Someone had parked it really badly and that's why it happened.  The second time it happened whilst parking the car was my fault but Big John did make me angry so I wasn't concentrating properly.  I promise it won't happen again ...

Sorry.

ps have a nice weekend everyone and here's the evidence

Date or Ditch ...

This morning Hayley chose man number 3 to go on her date tonight to Loch Fyne Restaurant.  She wasn't a big fan of builders so line number 2 got ditched and Luckily for her line number 3 (John) works in IT.  Find out tomorrow at 8 o clock how they got on?!

We tried to help our wedding winners Lindsy and Owen with tips on how to make your marriage last longer this morning.  This will make you want to puke .....

This will make you feel sick. Press PLAY! by BigJohnHallamFM

This morning we're off to Darnall to deliver yummy butties from Beres to Ford Windows in our new Hallam car from Lookers.  Do think they'd mind if I nick a bacon with red sauce?

It's the Spellings test tomorrow after 8.  Guess along while you're listening to see if you can beat Producer James and I.  No doubt you'll be better than us!

See you in the morning from 6.

'I Think I Wanna Marry You!'

Were you listening this morning at 8!?  It was very tense John, James and I felt very nervous and tense as one couple won their £25,000 dream wedding.  Well done to Lindsy & Owen - they raised over £17,000 for our 'Cash for Kids' charity.  This is the moment they'd found out they won ...


The winning moment.... by BigJohnHallamFM


Well done to the other 3 couples Cliff & Tina, Debs & Chris and Dane & Rachel.  Together they raised just under £50,000. 

Tomorrow morning it's time for my favourite - Date or Ditch!  One lucky lady will be choosing one of three men that verbally battle it out to win her affection.  She only has 60 seconds to choose 'the one' and if she ditches the first two men then she has to go on a date with man number three.  Make sure you're listening at 8.  If you're single and want to get involved go to www.hallamfm.co.uk/date

See you in the morning from 6.

Ahh Peter Simon!

We love Peter Simon and I got him on the show to chat to Big John this morning.  I know him from my old shopping channel days.  Everyone has been taking the mick out of me this morning for a hideous incident I had with a guitar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcHrMeuv87s  If you missed us talking to Peter you can hear it after 6 am tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow it's one lucky couple will win Hallam FM's Dream Wedding worth a massive £25,000.  Make sure you listen after 7 tomorrow morning to find out who wins.  Thanks to the Crown and Rutland Hotels - Doncaster and Sheffield's luxury wedding venues.


Weds 8am - The Big one! £25K! by BigJohnHallamFM

Fancy some free butties delivered to your workplace?  Thanks to our new show sponsors 'Lookers' Team Hallam will be delivering yummy butties from Beres Pork Sandwich shop (they're my favourite by the way I'm addicted to them - the crackling on them just finishes them off mmmmmm!) 

See you at 6!

Janine x

My secret is out ...

Sam from Intake has blown my cover and sent Big John a link to YouTube where a viewer had got lots of clips off of me into a short video from when I worked on Shopping Telly.  John knew but he didn't know the video existed - thanks Sam!

Janine - A shopping TV presenter! by BigJohnHallamFM

Thanks for all your calls helping Big John out on his Google ban.  He wasn't allowed to use it over the weekend and his questions involved birds, teeth and spit!  If you missed it you can hear it again tomorrow morning after 6am.

Tomorrow it's time for the 'Celebrity Yes No Game' and I've set this weeks up.  See how long it takes John to guess it and see if you can beat him while you're listening.

See you in the morning!

It's the weekend!

Friday is finally here and it's time to enjoy our weekend *aaahhhhhhhh*  If you're a Mum Happy Mothers Day for Sunday.  I'll be at Crystal Peaks Shopping centre this Mother's Day between 12 & 2.  Come and join me and Mums can win prizes from McDonald's, The Body Shop, max Speilmann, Blockbuster, Costa Coffee, That's Entertainment, Clinton Cards, Domo, Northridge, Superdrug and Glitz and Glam.  Team Hallam will be there on Saturday and Sunday and Mums can play the Claw Crane Game to win treats, vouchers, gifts and more!

This morning on the show we caught up with our Date or Ditch couple Claire and Jay.  The good news is they got on really well and the bad news is I don't think it's love.  They had a good time and Claire was hungover so it must of been a laugh.  Here they are on their date and he bought her flowers - aaahhhh.  Lovely Jay! 

Ah, true love.... by BigJohnHallamFM

Next week I'm going to share something with you that I've been keeping a secret shhhhhhh.

Have a lovely weekend!

Janine's Fashion Week

It's nearing the end of my fashion week and I rocked a black and gold sequin number today!  I'm sure they'll be another random outfit tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow it's Friday!!!! I can almost taste that ice cold beer..... by BigJohnHallamFM

And the new iPad is released here in South Yorkshire and you could win one tomorrow morning when you wake up!

Claire from Handsworth goes on her date tonight and we'll find out if there's a new romance blossoming!!  I've got a good feeling about this one ...

See you in the morning at 6 xxx

One more sleep till Date or Ditch!

Have you heard it before?  There's 3 men battling it out for the attention of one lady hoping to win a date with her.  BUT there's a twist - she only has 60 seconds to speak to all three men and if she ditches the 1st and the 2nd man then she has to go on a date with man number 3 - even if she hasn't spoken to him!  Make sure you listen tomorrow morning at 8.

This was my outfit today.  It's probably a Marmite love it or hate it number ...

Our 5 couples are very tired and still battling out to win a wedding worth £25,000.  We spoke to Cliff and Tina this morning and poor Cliff has lost a filling but hasn't got anytime to go to the dentist to get it fixed!  Stick some chewing gum in it mate.

Ps Big John loves you ....

I love you. by BigJohnHallamFM

Well, wasn't she lovely ....

This morning we spoke to Karen Brady - The Apprentice is back next week - yippee! Big John managed to guess who she was in 67 seconds, that's not too shabby.

This was my outfit today, Big John has been revealing my attire and 'commentating' on them. Where's Gok Wan when you need him? The 5 couples are still battling it out to win a wedding worth £25,000. Who are you backing? Check out the 5 brides page for all the information on our couples. 25 Thousand Pound Wedding by BigJohnHallamFM See you in the morning for the spellings test at 8am! Janine x ps what should I wear tomorrow?!

Monday - already!!

All this week we'll be catching up with the 5 couples from 5 brides 1 wedding.  A week today we'll reveal who's won a wedding worth a massive £25,000!  Keep an eye on our Facebook page for funny photos as you see our brides in wedding dresses.

Tomorrow at 8 listen out for our 'Celebrity Yes No Game'  Big John has to guess which celebrity is on the phone but they can only answer yes or no.  Guess along and see if you can beat him (you probably can!)

Who is she by BigJohnHallamFM
This morning Big John sprung it on me that they'll be taking a photo of me and putting it on the website to see what I'm wearing.  To be fair my jacket didn't really match my outfit but it is early when I get dressed and to be fair that's why I'm on the radio - so you can't see me.  You're lucky I wasn't in my pj's!  So I'm under pressure for tomorrow's outfit. See you in the morning! Janine x

The weekend has landed!

Did you hear the dcatch up this morning follwoing Date or Ditch yesterday?  I think Trish has the hots for Mark but they didn't exchange numbers before they jumped in the taxi!
This weekend it's me who has the Google ban - what am I gonna do with myself?!  Find out crops up over the weekend that I need to know and can't look up on Monday.

It's a good question by BigJohnHallamFM
This morning we met our five brides competing in our 5 Brides 1 Wedding competition.  All next week they'll be battling out to win a wedding worth £25,000!!  If you missed it meet them here http://www.hallamfm.co.uk/5brides1wedding-meetthecouples/

It was Date or Ditch this morning on Big John @ Breakfast and the lovely Trish bagged herself a man - and she was hilarious! We'll catch up with her tomorrow morning at 8 to see how she got on.

When you wake up... by BigJohnHallamFM

I'm looking forward to meeting all the couples from 5 brides 1 wedding tomorrow morning. The couples will be battling it out next week to win a wedding worth a MASSIVE £25,000!

It's NEW Date or Ditch by BigJohnHallamFM

Hasta manana Janine x

Spellings test time!

This morning we had a spelling test, myself and James. Big John sprung it on us as a nasty surprise. I'm not going to lie, I was a bit gutted as James was awarded half a point unfairly. I'm not a sore loser - honest! Tomorrow morning we'll have some lovely little ones trying to spell (their considerably younger than us!) Guess along tomorrow morning at what they're trying to spell.

We had Alexandra Burke on the show this morning. She was lovely and full of life!! If you missed it listen out for the Heat Update with Ed after 3. I think she wanted a piece of Big John too ..

Alexandra Burke frisky on Big John @ Breakfast by BigJohnHallamFM

See you in the morning!

Janine x

So the week begins ....

Tomorrow morning Alexandra Burke will be joining us for breakfast. It'll be nice to have another girl in the studio :). She'll be telling us about her new single with Eric Morillo 'Elephant.'

Tuesday Morning = Alexandra Burke @ Breakfast by BigJohnHallamFM

Did you listen this morning? Big John had a Google ban over the weekend and he wanted to know how to make me a Saint! We had a Bishop on the show and he told us how we could do it. Like everyone I've got a few skeletons in the cupboard so I'm not sure how easy it would be?

See you in the morning from 6.

Free Fuel Friday!

This morning South Yorkshire have been frantically bagging themselves free fuel from various locations. It's happening throughout the day so make sure you're listening to get the locations and get yourself a free fill!

This will be good. by BigJohnHallamFM

This is random but I thought I'd share it with you because I'm excited. I'm getting HD eyebrows done today. I never have anything done in the salon normally but today is the day. I'll let you know how I get on!

I hope you have a lovely weekend whatever you're up to and we will all see you bright and breezy on Monday morning from 6am!

Free Fuel Friday!

One more sleep until it's here Free Fuel Friday is happening tomorrow in South Yorkshire. To get your fill (sorry cheesy joke) make sure you're listening tomorrow morning to Big John at breakfast and we'll let you know the first location! We are going to be hijacking petrol stations - woooo!
