Amelle Berrabah completes a 4,000m charity parachute jump with the Red devils

Pop star Amelle Berrrabah of Sugababes fame has taken a giant step for charity and jumped out of a plane in support of Cancer Research. 

The star joined the Red Devils at Netheravon airfield in Wiltshire for the jump and said: "I panicked a bit at the exit door, but Nathan my instructor was so good. All these guys are amazing, they make you feel really calm."

Well done, Amelle!

When someone shows you kindness, pay it forward and spread the love!

It takes so little effort to be kind to someone. Whether you hold open an elevator door or just flash someone a genuine smile, these simple selfless acts can go a long way to make a big difference to others' lives. 

A few weeks ago, I got on a bus to work, only to discover that my oyster card had run out and I had no change in my wallet. The bus driver told me to get off the bus (clearly, he wasn't in a kind mood) and I was faced with being very late for work. But just as I was about to step off the bus, a random stranger tapped me on the shoulder and handed me the £2 I needed to board the bus. 

I will never forgot that very simple random act of kindness - it made my day! And a week later, I did the very same thing for another lady who had lost her bus pass and was about to be thrown off the bus by the driver (what's with London bus drivers?). She beamed at me with so much gratitude that it was as though I might've just saved her life. 

Kindness makes a big difference! And now researchers at Harvard have proved it. Prof Nicholas Christakis has created a social networking game that demonstrates how kindness is paid forward. 

"We don't often see our generosity cascading through social networks to affect the lives of dozens or hundreds of people," Prof Christakis tells London's Metro. "It's very exciting to see it spread."

Christakis's also team found in a separate study that cooperative behaviour
spreads to three degrees of separation - from friend to friend to
friend. So if you are well-connected or have lots of mates, your compassionate acts could resonate even further
through the network, and you are also more likely to benefit from other
people's kindness.

As Oprah says: "Pay it forward!" and see your kindness spread...

A recent survey reveals that Britons aren't getting enough sleep

I love my sleep and always aim to get at least the recommended 8 hours a night. If I don't, the older I get, the harder it is to function throughout the day.

And it seems I'm not the only one! A new survey by retailer QVC has revealed that the average British person sleeps for just six hours and seven minutes per
night - and blames their lack of sleep for poor diet, bad moods and lack of concentration at work.

To make sure I get plenty of shut-eye, I have a little check-list of things I like to do if I'm feeling a little stressed or worried I might not sleep well. Try having a warm bath before bed (add a few drops of Organic Blue's new Realaxing Bath and Massage Oil), or a glass of hot milk. I also like to keep a lavender bag under my pillow or burn some lavender essential oil in an oil burner before bed (just make sure you blow out the candle before falling asleep!)

I also have a selection of meditation CDs that are great for helping you unwind and drop off into a deep, dream-filled sleep.

Also, if you want to monitor your sleep habits to see where you can improve, a friend of mine has just told me about a great iPhone App which, when you sleep with it by your head at night, shows you a graph of your sleep patterns. It's called Sleep Cycle and costs just 59p to download on to your iPhone.

And with all these things to try, you ought be worn out in no time! 

I'm off for a nap… zzzzzzzzzzzz

This new organic beauty range is heaven scent!

If - like me - you like having relaxing baths in the winter time, then you'll love new Organic Blue's Relaxing Bath and Massage Oil (£7.95 for 100ml).

This divine-smelling oil with soothing lavender and cedarwood, is enriched with vitamin and mineral-rich organic oils, softening Sunflower oil, balancing Jojoba oil and emollient Coconut oil.

Perfect for moisturising and softening winter-dry skin, the healing power of essential oils will also have you switching off from daily stress.

I tried it last night and had the best night's sleep I've had in weeks.

What are you waiting for? Light some candles, pop on some gentle music, switch off the phone and pour two capfuls of Organic Blue's Relaxing Bath and Massage oil into a warm bath - and drift off in your own bubble of bliss…

Here at Prediction, we love a good cat video

We've just discovered the hilarious Simon's Cat on YouTube and he's got the entire office in stitches.

Obviously, it's a very productive Friday morning here in the Prediction office ;-) But can you blame us when this little guy is just so entertaining, we can't tear ourselves away!?

Have a look for yourself - we dare you not to crack up as you watch Simon's Cat test his owner's patience in all manner of daily trials and tribulations in cat-life - from trying to come inside, obscuring the view of the TV and trying to wake his owner up to feed him, Simon's Cat comes up with more and more ingenius ways to get attention.

And, frustratingly for Simon, he's just so darn cute that he always gets his way! That's probably why he has a YouTube following of well over a million, his own book and even his very own iPhone app (yes, we downloaded it right away and you can now hear his adorable little purrs and meows in every corner of the office!)

Aw… can we keep him?

The new Bach floral scents are the perfect tonic to help you shake off the winter blues

With the past few days being sunny and just a teensy bit warmer, I've come over all gooey and happy at the hint of spring in the air!

And to help raise my vibration and put a little extra spring in my step, I've been using the brand new perfumes from Les Fleurs de Bach.

Containing the healing benefits of Bach Flower Essences, the fresh and flowery Présence(s) de Bach - with top notes of Vervain and Clematis, heart notes of Wild Rose and
Honeysuckle and base notes of Pine, Oak and Crab Apple - promotes feelings of harmony, while the woody and spicy Vivacité(s) de Bach - with top notes of Gorse and Centaury, heart notes of White Chestnut, Olive,
Hornbeam and base notes of Larch and Mustard - boosts your energy levels.

And they come in gorgeous little bottles, too, so they're a great gift for mum for Mothers' Day on the 14th March (£44.50 for 50ml) or even just as a treat for yourself. I'm getting both!

Fish fall from the sky in a remote town in Australia

I was talking to my mum on the phone the other day about the strange weather they've been having at home in Australia - rain and floods one minute and hail the next, followed by drought and bushfires. And then I read that one Aussie town in particular has had the weirdest weather ever.

The residents of Lajamanu - a desert town in Australia's Northern Territory - couldn't believe their eyes when hundreds of white fish began falling from the sky.

‘I haven't lost my marbles,' local resident Christine Balmer told London's Metro. ‘Hundreds and hundreds of fish
landed in the town. Locals were picking them up off the ground
everywhere.

‘These fish were alive when they hit the ground,' she
added. ‘Thank God it didn't rain crocodiles.'

The fish were actually spangled perch, which are common in the north of Oz, but the nearest river is 326 miles away from Lajamanu. According to meteorologists conditions were perfect for a tornado in the region, which could have
sucked the fish up to 50,000ft into the air from lakes hundreds of
miles away and dropped them on the town.

Well, it's a good enough excuse for me - c'mon, throw another fish on the barbie!

I had a bad feeling about travelling on a London bus right before it crashed

Last week I had a spooky psychic premonition just after I boarded the bus to work.

As I took my seat, I suddenly had a bad feeling about being on the bus. It's hard to describe, but I can only suggest that my intuition must've kicked in because as we approached Monument station at around 11am, the driver lost control of the vehicle.

The bus crashed right through the railings of the staircase leading down into the London Underground - and the bus was left teetering precariously over the sheer drop into the stairwell. 

Prior to the crash - as I received my intuitive warning - I had said a prayer of protection for everyone aboard the bus and for myself and, thankfully, despite the excessive damage, we all walked away with minor injuries.

Here's a picture of the scene taken on the evening of the crash.

It was nothing short of a miracle that no one was seriously hurt or killed - or, indeed, that no one happened to be walking up
the stairs out of the tube station at that busy time of morning. People in the station below said it sounded like a bomb went off above them.

The incident has given me even more faith that we have angels watching over us and when we ask for their help, they do deliver.

Aussie singer takes her star status literally with her latest Star Wars-esque outfit

God bless, Kylie Minogue. After we saw her dressed as a magician's apprentice last week, with yet another nod to the mystical and magical, she's now stepped out in a pair of C3PO-inspired leggings, complete with what looks like her very own solar panels!

Perhaps she's trying to promote her 'Solo' career even more now that she has a new album coming out this year. 

Well, let's face it, if anyone can pull it off, it's Ms Minogue… she's one of the coolest stars around!
