It's Big Cook Little Cook!

So Big John has had a lot of fun there 'outing' me and my boyfriend.  It is in fact Big Cook Little Cook.  So I'm going to answer any questions you may have at this point.  He is good at cooking but I did teach him, he isn't as tidy in real life as he is on the show.  I have made him do the tea towel dance, he doesn't wear an apron around the house and the main question is what is 'Big Cook Little Cook?'  It's a cooking tv show for kids that has appeared on Cbeebies and BBC 2.  Here is a link to it if you want to be nosey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNKfTrrJVJI



Tomorrow we have our last family ticket to give away for Dancing on Ice.  Can you help Hallamster with his homework question?

Danielle and Lewis go on their date tonight for Date or Ditch.  Will it be real lurrrvvvvveeeeeee?  Find out tomorrow at 8.

AND don't forget to register now on our webiste to have the ULTIMATE pampering experience with Eton.  £1,000 to spend at Eton, a new hair do, your make up done and a photo shoot!  Me and you will be going on a proper girly day.

See you at 6.

But seriously who is it ... !?

It's a rollover for the stragest competition I've ever heard of 'Which TV presenter is Janine going out with?' It's not Dick from Dick or Dom, it's not Steve Backshaw and it's not Mark from Sam and Mark.  Please somebody guess it and put me out of my misery .....

Round 2 Which kids TV presenter is Janine going out with by BigJohnHallamFM

Tomorrow we all get very giddy just before 8 o clock as it's Date or Ditch!!!!  One woman gets to choose from 3 men all trying their best to please her with only 60 seconds between the three of them.  if she still hasn't spoken to man number three but has ditched the first and the second man then she HAS to go on a date with man number 3.

Listen out tomorrow for how you and me could be going on a £1,000 shopping spree at Eton.  We'll also doll you up with a brand new haircut, your make up done AND a photo shoot.

See you in the morning from 6.

So who is it?

I honestly don't see why anyone would want to know who my boyfriend is but that's the game we played this morning!  He's a kids tv presenter and all I'm allowed to tell you is that it isn't Stephen Mulhern, Sam from Sam & Mark or the Chuckle brothers!  Listen after 8 tomorrow morning for another game - there's some goodies in it for you if you get the right guess.

Which KIDS TV presenter is Janine Dating by BigJohnHallamFM

Tomorrow morning we'll have the Spelling Test with our school of the week is Darfield Upperwood Primary School in Barnsley.  Guess along at 8 o clock and see if you can help Producer James & I out.

Ladies how do you fancy me and you going for a shopping trip and spending £1,000 at Eton?!  They have some amazing designer names like Mulberry, Vivienne Westood & See by Chloe.  Then we'll go to the salon and get your hair done.  All you have to do to win is register your details on our website and we'll be choosing a deserving winner next week.

The crew are re-united!

Big John, Producer James & Hallamster are back from their Easter break and I think Hallamster has put a bit of weight on - too many Easter Eggs.

Tomorrow morning we will have a celebrity on the line at 8 o clock and Big John has to guess who it is on our 'Celebrity Yes No Game!' 

http://soundcloud.com/bigjohnhallamfm/tuesday-6-10am-big-john by BigJohnHallamFM

Ladies are you always putting the kids before you?  When was the last time you actually treated yourself?  We've got together with Eton and we want to spoil you with a £1000 makeover.  I'll be coming with you to help you choose and then we'll go to the hair salon and get you even more pampered!

Don't forget to help Hallamster with his homework in the morning.  If you get it right you could be going to Dancing on Ice next Thursday night at the Motorpoint Arena!

See you in morning.

We passed but he beat me!!!!

So we both scored the same amount of points on our driving test but Big John beat me (only by a smidgen obviously!)  I was gutted but at leats now I can drive the company cars, I was so pleased I left the show early and took one around the block!  Thanks to Lookers for lending us a car and to Bill Plant for lending us Rob to observe our 'amazing' driving skills.

After the Easter School holidays we have an amazing competition with Eton.  One lucky listener will get a make over and I'll be coming shopping with you for the day.  They'll also be chances to win designer handbags.

Woooooo hoooooo 4 points!

So yesterday Big John beat me by a point and luckily today I beat him by one with my reverse park!  So currently we're on 9 points each and tomorrow we find out who beat who in the driving test!  I feel so nervous when we're getting the results and this morning I yelped with excitement.

Date or Ditch this morning was slightly different.  We had Matt from Donny on from Take Me Out on ITV.  he chose Laura and they're off on their date tonight.  Listen at 8 tomorrow morning to find out how they got on.

Hallamster's back in the morning with tickets to see the Chuckle Brothers in Rotherham at two tomorrow afternoon.

See you tomorrow at 6.

Tuesday, 3 April 2012

To me to you ...

This morning we had the Chuckle Brothers on!  I LOVED watching them when I was little.  Win tickets to see them in Rotherham all this week with Hallamster just after 7:30.

I tried not to show it this morning but I'm absolutely gutted that John beat me by a point in his 3 point turn.  I was looking in the mirrors I promise!  Oh well, hopefully he'll drop a point tomorrow.  If I don't beat him then I won't be allowed to use the company cars :(.

Putting the GREAT into Wednesday by BigJohnHallamFM

It's a special edition of Date or Ditch tomorrow!  Matt from Doncaster was on Take Me Out the past 2 Saturdays and he'll be choosing from three gorgeous girls tomorrow morning at 8 - don't miss it!!

Driving Test Results - gulp!

So this morning we found out we're being given our driving test results slowly and painfully day by day.  If I'm honest I'm a bit annoyed because John and I scored the same amout of points for our emergency stop even though his phone was ringing grrrr.  So find I'll find out tomorrow how many points I got for one of our other manoeuvres last week - eeek.

Driving Test - The latest. by BigJohnHallamFM

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.

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

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.

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

Friday, 23 March 2012

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

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

Tuesday, 13 March 2012

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 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

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 ..

I feel like I can relax now ...

The past twenty four hours all I have done is think ... But I finally came to the decision that I couldn't deal with my conscience if I accepted a car for free for a year. So as a result of that we can give South Yorkshire some free fuel - YIPPEEEEE! My Mum has always come up trumps when it comes to making the right decision so que sera.

She's a Saint! by BigJohnHallamFM

Silence is golden ...

They were trying to make me talk about my chat with the boss. I can't do it, I don't want to and I've been told to keep quiet ... That's pretty hard for me most of the time!

Janine's comment on her 'telling off' from the boss... by BigJohnHallamFM

Did you hear my little sister (one of the twins) this morning? She told us the ridiculous story of how she sung to the whole road with the tannoy whilst working in the petrol station. There are photos on our Facebook page. Here she is too if you want to put a face to the voice!

It's F F F F FRIDAY!

This is my favourite day for a number of reasons.

1: Saturdays and Sundays we get a nice lie in.
2: It's a time for catching up with friends and family.

Big John has been paying your bills all month and tomorrow he will be paying a rent or mortgage bill! Seriously it could be yours as long as you have registered it on www.hallamfm.co.uk/bills. MAKE SURE YOU'RE LISTENING AT 8.

If there's one thing you do today.... by BigJohnHallamFM

It's the Celebrity 'Yes, No Game' tomorrow morning. Big John will have somebody on satellite and he has to guess which celebrity is on the end of the line by asking questions they can only say 'yes' or 'no' to.

See you tomorrow at 6!

I've got that Friday Feeling!

What a morning. It turns out that Nancy left Lee's house at 7:30 ish this morning following their date on 'Date or Ditch!' We couldn't quite believe what we were hearing. Lee sounded pretty chuffed about it! Witt woo - a little bit steamy for a Friday morning.

I lied - I'm sorry. In True or Toss I said I'd been on Jim'll Fix It to get my Scottie Dog Magazine published and it was a big fat lie.

Dawn Green didn't call in time to get her bill paid by Big John this morning - boooo. The rules change next week - listen to this:



Have a lovely weekend!

See you at 6 on Monday. Janine x

Thursday, 26 January 2012

We want to pay your bills and there's more ways to do it!

Did you hear 'date or ditch' this morning? Nancy picked Lee - has was on line 6 and apparently he likes everything. Dog food, wool and acrylics!! They're on their date tonight and we'll be catching up with them at 8 o clock to see if the love blossomed?

Big John has been paying your bills all week and there's another way to get involved...

Your Friday start.... by BigJohnHallamFM

See you tomorrow morning for Friday antics!

Thank you!

We're thanking you for listening every morning on Big John at breakfast every day at 8am and this morning it was 'thank you' to Mark Price! His bill was £210 for his Car Tax.

Yes please. by BigJohnHallamFM

Are you single? Do you fancy a giggle and a free night out? If you do make sure you're listening to Date or Ditch tomorrow when 10 men are fighting over the affection of one woman. You never know you could meet 'the one!'

See you at 6,

Tuesday, 24 January 2012

Me lying, him telling the truth? Who's saying what and when?

Join us tomorrow morning for another round of True or Toss! Please have a listen if you're wondering what on earth I'm on about ....

Toss by BigJohnHallamFM

Big John paid Liz's bill this morning at 8 o clock - she was a happy bunny! Whatever you do make sure you're listening tomorrow morning at 8 in case it's YOUR name and YOUR bill!

It's the spelling test tomorrow and I'm hoping to beat James. Last week my tactic was staying quiet (I found it quite tough!)

See you at 6,

Happy Mondays!

Mel Dobson rang us within ten minutes and Big John paid her car bill. It was over £200 and she was in bed and rang within seconds - good times!

Tomorrow it's the 'Celebrity Yes No Game' and apparently we're going to have a HUGE film star on. I've been trying to guess all day today - what if it's Brad Pitt?! *swoon* Find out tomorrow at 8 who it is.

Friday, 20 January 2012

It's Friiidddaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!

This is what happens if you forget to listen to Hallam FM at 8am.

Gutted!

A Big John @ Breakfast Bite by BigJohnHallamFM

Also this week I confessed that I'd been to a Hallam Fm gig with Brian Harvey from East 17.

Hallamster reached 2000 Twitter followers (and didn’t explode – he thought he would) at least 50 people must've wanted him to as they immediately followed him when he told them not to!

and Big John guessed that Jeff Brazier was the celebrity on his phone.

Next week:

Big John is paying YOUR bills. And if he does that – What will you do with the money you’d put on one side? Spend it on YOU. But on what?

BUT you MUST listen at 8am.

Have a lovely weekend!

You don’t want to leave it too late do you? Imagine Big John reading your name out at 8am and then missing the 10 minutes deadline for him to pay your bill – Not nice.

Good reason for needing money... by BigJohnHallamFM

This morning we found out that I used to live with an International Ice Skater in the house where 'Agadoo' was written - Lyric Cottage in 'Getting to know you!' Both John and James got it wrong as they thought it was false.

Ben in Rawmarsh asked us 'what are the rules' when his flatmate's cat pooed on the kitchen floor. He couldn't face cleaning it up as he thought he'd be sick. The majority of South Yorkshire said leave it - it's not your cat - yuck!

See you tomorrow and don't forget to register your bills now!!!

This morning we tried to pretend we weren't hungover after festive drinks yesterday. Think we just about got away with it and nobody knew shhhhhhhh. We caught up with Michelle to see how she's getting on being a mummy. She brought baby Kenny in to see us and he's beautiful!

Quickly throw away your mistletoe! At 8am Thursday morning – COULD be your last chance to find love before Christmas… And Big John wants to make that happen… Could you find love in just 20 seconds? Or would you “ditch” and move on to someone else… DON’T MISS THIS!

Naked?!

It's a busy week on the lead up to Christmas. We're giving the chance to win £1000 every day on Big John at breakfast at 8am. There's still chance for you to win Hallamster's CD 'Famous' all you have to do is listen out for the tune he's trying to play on his Hamster wheel.

Oh and apparently I'm going to be naked. I might do it just to freak Big John and Producer James out - it would definitely put them off their breakfast - fact!

See you tomorrow morning from 6.

Michelle's had a baby!!!!!

It's been an emotional week on Big John at Breakfast. Michelle Mary Mustard gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and we got to chat to her while she was having 'contraptions.' Little Kenny was born at 11:11 am and weighs 7lbs 2. Have a listen to her when we called her this week while she was in labour!

We we're challenged to gatecrash Sleeping Beauty at the Lyceum Theatre on Thursday and just about got away with it.

And Big John united two people in South Yorkshire for date or ditch. Have a listen and see how they got on!

Wednesday on Big John at breakfast

This morning Carrie got in touch with us about her Peanut Butter issue! Someone at work has been nicking it out of the fridge - the cheek! You suggested that you spike it with chilli, Producer James put a note in his butter saying 'theif' when it happened to him and Janine suggested she put a camcorder in a chicken and hide it in the fridge!

We gave some tickets away for the Owl's game this weekend too.

Make sure you listen tomorrow morning to 'Date or Ditch' to find out which lucky couple will go on a date on Friday night!

Tuesday on Big John at Breakfast

Michelle's waters have broken! We spoke to her this morning while she was having 'contraptions' and we're hoping her little boy/girl arrives today.

On What are the Rules Carrie put to us her dilemma about seeing her neighbours on the toliet out of the bedroom window. The best suggestion we had in was 'take a photo of them and put in on a Moonpig Card and send it them for Christmas!'

Big John has to gatecrash the Sleeping Beauty Panto at the Lyceum this Thursday night- and 200 staff at local company A4E in Sheffield will contribute a huge pile of gifts to the Christmas Cash For Kids Appeal… So he just needs some make up and tights then. Janine has offered to lend him hers and told him not to stretch them (fat chance!)

Michelle's BIG NEWS by BigJohnHallamFM

Monday, 12 December 2011

This morning on Big John at Breakfast

Did you catch the breakfast show this morning? What are the rules this morning was about ladies using the gents toilets. Gary from Crookes was annoyed about it! Producer James doesn't mind as he's in the cubicle anyway (even for a wee!) and Janine said that there's always a massive queue for the ladies so if we don't look at their bits and bobs it should be ok!?

We're you listening at 8 o clock when Jess and Matthew told us all about their date from date or ditch? She said he was lovely and he said there was lots of food ...

And in the Heat Update we found out that Gary Barlow is refusing to be a judge next year unless they get rid of Louis Walsh after all of his bitching and sniping 'ooooooooh!'


True Love??? by BigJohnHallamFM
