Did you hear it this morning!

It may have been one of my favourite Date or Ditch's this morning.  Darren picked Carolyne and at the end of the game they kept on talking all over each other!  It was awkwardly amazing!  She told him she has a spare ticket for a ride in her air balloon - if they get on tonight lets hope they get to go flying with each other.  Find out if they get on at 8 tomorrow morning.

I'm off to Marks and Spencers today to do a treasure hunt.  We have £1000 of vouchers to giveaway and if you find the gold stars then you can get a lucky dip in my bag and see how much you've won.  I'll be there from 12 - 2 in Meadowhall and the store has had a complete makeover so come and say hello and have a nosy.

He's a beardy, national treasure and loud lovey!

It's Brian Blessed and he was on our Celebrity Yes No Game this morning.  It took Big John 29 seconds to guess who it was this morning and then he talked and talked and talked ...  He's lovely though and put a big smile on our face!  If you missed him then make sure you tune in after 6 tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning we have the Spellings Test where some children from Heather Garth Primary in Bolton Upon Dearne will be spelling words for us.  Producer James and I then have to guess what words they're spelling and the scores at the moment are 1 - 0 to Producer James.  Got to beat him tomorrow ....

This morning it was a roll over for Big John's Big Payout and the number you have to guess is between £6 & £506.  Keep listening for your chance to win and we open the lines at about half past the hour.

Spraggan is through!

We are backing Lucy Spraggan all the way on the X Factor!  She's from Sheffield and she rocked her audition last night with a song she sang and wrote called 'Tea & Toast.'  She's being mentored by Tulisa and has jetted off to the Carribean to the judges houses phase.  Make sure you support her all the way and back our Sheffield lass to win.

Big John had the Google Ban over the weekend, any questions he would've looked up he had to jot down and ask you this morning.  For some reason he'd been thinking about TV licenses and what happens if you don't have one .....  So he asked whether TV Van detectors existed and we had a call from Jenny to say they did!  If you missed it listen againg tomorrow morning after 6.

It's between £6 and £506 the amount of cash we're looking for on Big John's Big Payout.  What's the first amount that pops in your head ?!  Give us a call at around half past and we'll tell you when we open the phone lines.  That money could be yours so keep listening for your chance to win.

Happy Friday!

Polly from Wybourn won £237 this morning on Big John's Big Payout!  She played early just after 6:30 this morning and won the cash.  I can tell you that the amount today is between £12 and £612 and if you want the cash guess throughout the day and if you get the right amount the money is yours!

Did you hear us catch up with Nick and Rachel this morning after their Date last night?  They played our dating competition and went out for a meal at the Hui Wei in Sheffield.  They got on well as friend's but don't fancy each other unfortunately but they've hooked up on Facebook and recommend Date or Ditch so at least they had a good time.  Fancy having a go?  www.hallamfm.co.uk/date

This morning on the Heat Update I was chatting about Alex Reid's cringeworthy video to Chantelle Houghton after their break up click here to see it.  Weird!



Big John has got the Google Ban this weekend.  Can you help him with his questions that he hasn't been able to look up on Monday please?  He'll be asking you at about 8. Ta!

Have a superb weekend!  Big love Janine xx

I'm sorry ...

This morning I confessed that I got caught speeding over the Snake Pass.  I genuinely thought it was 60 mph but it was 50.  So yesterday I went on a Speed Awareness course in Rotherham.  I actually learnt quite a lot and needless to say Big John hasn't let up on it all morning.  I should've kept my mouth shut.

Did you hear 30 something Date or Ditch this morning?  Nick picked Rachel from Doncaster and they're off on a date tonight.  They bonded over profiteroles, he asked Rach what her favourite pudding was and that's what brought them together on the radio.  Lets hope they bond over some nice food tonight at the Hui Wei Restaurant in Sheffield.  Find out how they got on tomorrow morning at 8.

Big John's Big Payout this morning is between £8 and £508 and if you can guess what amount of cash he has in the studio then it's yours.  We play just after half past the hour all day until 7pm.

See you in the morning - Janine xx

The Spellings Test is back!

Every Wednesday we have some little loves from our School of the Week spelling words for us.  This morning it was Bessacarr Primay School in Doncaster.  Producer James and I have to guess what they're spelling and he beat me this morning!  Gutted ... I have the rest of the school year to beat him though.

Tomorrow morning it's Date or Ditch and one lucky man will have three women fighting over him for a date.  He only has 60 seconds to choose one of them and then they're whisked off for a VIP night out and we catch up with them every Friday morning to find out if they got on and it's love!?  Fancy a go?  If you're single and over 18 just click here -  www.hallamfm.co.uk/date-or-ditch

Today Big John's Big Payout is a cash amount between £11 and £711.  If you guess correctly how much money we have then the cash is all yours!  Keep listening all day and call us just after half past to have a guess and grab the cash!

We'll see you in the morning!

Janine xx

He's a bloomin' lovely chap!

This morning we had Nick Hewer on the Celebrity Yes No Game.  Famous for helping Sir Alan Sugar on the Apprentice and now the host of Countdown.  He was a very charasmatic and funny man and not as stern as I thought he might be.  He was even telling us how good looking Rahel Riley is!  If you missed it you can hear him after 6 tomorrow morning.

If you want some free cash we're playing Big John's Big Payout every hour and this morning we can tell you the amount is between £50 & £750.  Listen at half past the hour for your chance to win.

The Spellings Test is back tomorrow with our School of the Week!  It's not how to spell it's what are they spelling?!  Some little ones will be on and Producer James and I will be trying to competing against each other to guess what their spelling.

If you're a massive fan of The Script Hallam FM are bringing them to South Yorkshire on March the 15th.  Tickets go on sale on friday morning at 9:30am and Danny O'Donaghue will be on Steve White's show this afternoon!

Have a good 'un and see you in the morning - Janine xx

Do you want a hot date?

We're playing Date or Ditch this Thursday.  Are you single, over 18 and fancy a free night out?  It's hard to meet someone when you're on a night out with your mates and don't have the confidence to approach someone.  Let us do the hard work and send you off on a VIP night out.  A couple of weeks ago we set Shaun & Natalie up and they changed their relationship status to 'in a relationship' last night on Facebook (with each other by the way!)

This morning my Google Ban question was about twins.  My best mate is pregnant - her brother and sister are twins, her Dad is a twin and her boyfriend is a twin. So is she likely to have twins?  If you missed the answer you can hear it tomorrow after 6am.

Big John's Big Payout continues today and we play all the way through to 7pm just after half past.  Listen throughout the day to narrow down the answers and win your share of the cash.  All I can tell you is today's amount is between £5 & £455.  Good luck!

It's the Celebrity Yes No Game tomorrow morning - which celeb will Big John be trying to guess at 8am.  Can you beat him to it?

See you tomorrow at 6 - Janine xx

Friday!

Harsh James and his date Stephanie went on their date last night to Nando's on Eccy Road.  Stephanie didn't fancy him because he didn't have enough meat on his bones and was too skinny.  She said they got on but she isn't going to talk to him again!

We have more money to giveaway on Big John's Big Payout and today we can tell you that amount is between £18 and £688.  The best and easiest way to win is by listening all day to narrow down all the answers.

I've got the Google Ban over the weekend so PLEASE help me with the questions that I've had in my head over the weekend.  I'll tell you what they are at 8 on Monday morning.

Me and the ladies that won the competition to come to St Leger Ladies day at Doncaster Races yesterday had an absolutel ball!  Thanks to everyone that looked after us yesterday and for giving us a day to remember.  It was a raucous day and we had a really good giggle.

Have a lovely weekend and we'll see you on Monday!

Ladies Day at Doncaster Races!

I don't know if you heard but Big John and Producer James have been making me a hat for ladies day to wear at the Races!  It's so hideous - they're trying to make a fool out of me because EVERYONE else will be looking glam...

Here is the hat:

Mortified.

This morning we played Date or Ditch and 'brutal' James picked Steph (line 3) and they're off out tonight to the new Nando's on Eccy Road in Sheffield.  Tune in tomorrow at 8am to find out if it's love or if he really is that picky.

Big John's Big Payout continue's throughout the day and it's your chance to win FREE money.  All you have to do is guess how much cash we have in the studio and it's all yours.  Listen between 6am & 7pm everyday and the more times you listen to the game the better your chances are of winning!

See you tomorrow morning - I can tell you my humiliating horse stories.

Lynn was an early bird and got herself that cash!

Lynn called in at 6:40 this morning to play Big John's Big Payout and won the cash!  She was listening all day yesterday and called early this morning and won £214 to spend on her holidays.  If you haven't heard the game we play every hour and you have to guess the amount we have in cash.  Today I can tell you it's between £7 & £707.  You can call when we open the phone lines on 0114 221 4444 and we play every hour at twenty to from 6am - 7pm.

This morning we were asking what endearing things your other half does for you that really get on your nerves!?  This started because my boyfriend wakes me up in the middle of the night when he's been out drinking to tell me that he loves me.  I pretend to be asleep and then he starts shaking me to try and wake me up.  I hate it!  We had some brilliant calls and if you missed them listen tomorrow after 6.

It's Date or Ditch tomorrow morning at 8 o clock!  Are you single, over 18 and fancy a fun VIP night out?  If you're up for it make sure you're listening at 8 and fill in one of these in the meantime www.hallamfm.co.uk/date

See you in the morning at 6.

Natalie won yesterday - can you win today?

Yesterday Natalie from Eckington won £422 for guessing the correct number on Big John's Big Payout.  It was between 100 and 600 and she managed to narrow it down and guess precisely the exact amount in £'s so the money all is hers.  Today the amount is between 20 and 900, Natalie's tip was to listen all day so you narrow the guesses down.

This morning Una from the Saturdays was on our Celebrity Yes No Game!  Big John was quick off the mark and guessed who she was in 15 seconds.  If you missed our chat with her about her gorgeous baby Aoife then make sure you listen after 6am tomorrow morning.

Hallamster will be back on tomorrow morning just after 7:30 so if you want a shout out for anyone just put your name and where you're from on our Facebook page in the morning www.facebook.com/hallamfm

Have a good 'un and we'll see you in the morning from 6.

Big John's Big Payout!

This morning was the first day of our new competition and we're giving away loads of cash.  This morning we told you to guess an amount in £'s and it has to be between £100 & £600.  Both Helen and Lyndsey called up to have a go but they didn't win.  All we can tell you is if it's higher or lower than that amount.  I reckon the best chance you have of winning is if you listen every time the competition is on and then you can narrow down the answer.  We play it at half past the hour so keep listening to Hallam FM for your chance to win that cash, if you guess the amount correctly then that cash is yours.

This morning on the Heat Update I was talking about Rihanna's new haircut.  Piers Morgan was tweeting her and being nasty about it saying she needs to grow it back.  To be fair I reckon she carries it off well.  Here's a photo of her if you haven't seen it.

Tomorrow morning it's the 'Celebrity Yes No Game' we'll have a celebrity on the phone or satelitte and Big John has to guess who it is but all they can answer with is yes or no.  We time him and everything so play along and see if you can guess who it is before him.

See you tomorrow at 6 - Janine xx

Fancy some SERIOUS cash?!

It's Big John's Big Payout this Monday and you could be winning serious amounts of cash!  Whatever you do make sure you're by the radio on Monday at 8 o'clock ...

This morning we spoke to Amanda who took her Auntie Eileen to see the recording of Loose Women.  They jumped in the mini bus and off they went.  They had a pitt stop to go to the loo and Amanda and her Auntie were in neighbouring cubicles.  Eileen shouted obscenities next to her and she started having a wee and she realised she'd left the seat down and it was going everywhere.  Then she ended up standing up weeing for some reason!?  So she had to sit on a plastic bag when she watched the show!  Amada and Eileen and 2 other friends have won ticekts to go to ladies day at Doncaster Racecourse next Thursday.  I'll be there and I can't wait!

Hallamster's Aii Test has finally been won!  It was Michael Mcintyre!  He might be a nut - M&M, He's got high mileage - from his roadshow tour and Did he have talent - he was a judge on Britain's Got Talent!  Well done to Helen in Millhouses, she's won all the tat out of Hallamster's cage.

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

See you on Monday Janine xxxxxx

24 hours to tell us your Bridget Jones clothing disaster

Did you hear Charlotte this morning?  I was laughing my head off this morning at her story and the way she told it.  She was at a wedding walking up the altar and her Uncle Mick - bloomin Uncle Mick - tripped her up.  Her bra strap got caught on a piece of cotton and her bra pinged open.  Her dress then ripped all the way up, her Bridget Jones big knickers (Spanx) were on show and her boobs were on the loose (her exact words!)  The poor girl, she was mortified!  But it has won her and her mates a trip to Doncaster for Ladies Day next Thursday.  If you've got a good story tell us now. http://www.hallamfm.co.uk/win/ladbrokes-st-leger/

The next clue is out for Hallamster's Aiiii test.  Who is the celebrity saying Aiii?  The clues are' he might be a nut, 'he's got high mileage' and 'did he have talent?'  It's going tomorrow morning I reckon after that last clue.  Make your guess at 7:30am and win Hallamster's tat.

We'll see you in the morning to sing the Friday song at you!

Janine xx

ps Big John said that my top was a bra this morning.  Here's the photo as evidence ...

Janet nearly died!

There was an absolutely shocking story this morning about clothing calamitys!  Poor Janet was borrowing some heated hair rollers and when she was jumping over her neighbours fence she got her Croc shoe stuck.  Her hair rollers went flying and so did Janet but she landed on top of them and broke 4 ribs.  She thought she was actually dying and had to crawl up her neighbours drive and she couldn't breathe!  They called the paramedics and she was carted off to hospital all dressed up but with damp soggy hair and broken ribs.  Needless to say she won this morning and will be taking 3 friends off to Doncaster Racecourse next Thursday for a free day out at Ladies Day.  I'll have to keep my eye on her as she's still fragile as it only happened in June!

Listen out for another clue tomorrow on Hallamster's Ultimate Aii test.  It's been driving South Yorkshire mad for ages!  A celebrity is saying Aiii and you have to guess who it is.  The first clue is 'he might be a nut' and the second clue is 'he has high mileage' listen out for the next clue just after 7:30 tomorrow morning!
It's a good night for TV tonight!  Dallas is on at 9 on Channel 5, Mrs Biggs starts on ITV and if you're a dog lover Top Dog Model starts on ITV2 at 8.  Jude from Retford and her dog Clicquot are on tonight!

See you at 6 tomorrow!

Button on your bonce!

This morning we heard from Margretta and she went to church with her family when she was little and she was wearing a hat and her sister pulled a thread from it.  Slowly but surely the hat began to unravel and all she was left with was a button on her head!  Her whole family were told to leave the Church by the Priest!  She came on the radio to tell us that story and she won a day at Doncaster Races at Ladies Day next week.  Have you had a fashion disaster where it's all gone wrong for you?  Tell us about it and you and three friends could be going next Thursday.

If I gave you £500 worth of vouchers to spend in Meadowhall, where would you go and what would you buy?  Just by anwering a simple qustion it could be yours!  You can spend it on whatever you like - it's guilt free!  Listen to Hallam FM throughout the day and you could be blowing the vouchers on anything you want!

See you in the morning.

Janine xx

It's not about the Price Tag!

Thanks for making us laugh this morning at your clothing disaster stories!  Laura told us this morning that she went to a work conference when she was only 18 and new to the job and she'd had some men glancing over at her and she thought she'd pulled!  They were just laughing at her because she had a £4 reduced tag hanging out of the back of her shirt!

Michaela topped that story though with her water slide story at Butlins.  She was wearing a tankini and didn't realised when she's got off the slide that her boob was out.  She walked all the way around the pool for ages while a life guard ooogled her.  She eventually saw the offending boob and put it away.  The lifeguard only turned out to be a red coat and turned up after dinner!  Gutted!

After a ten minute vote Michaela won the opportunity to come to Doncaster Ladies Day on September the 13th and have free food and drink and a fab day out!  Keep your stories coming in for your chance to win. http://www.hallamfm.co.uk/win/ladbrokes-st-leger/

See you in the morning!
