I'd echo the sentiments above. I discovered Dave through the forum several years ago and only recently took the decision to get in touch with him. I only wish I'd done it sooner. Some info about me: I’m 45 years old, have two children and I live in Peckham. I started working with Dave back in April, doing a couple of sessions a week. I wanted to work with a trainer as I’ve neglected my health and fitness a bit over the past few years. I work in a busy job, often from home so it’s easy to become complacent and gradually slip into bad habits. Over the years I’ve gone in and out of exercise routines - playing football (which I struggle to do regularly), running, aerobics/online workouts, but nothing has ever really stuck. Working with Dave has been transformational - he’s really good at pushing me whilst still keeping it fun. I don’t respond to being yelled at, which is why I’d never really pursued gym sessions in the past, but Dave is very calm and explains the various exercises really clearly. Knowing why I’m doing something really helps me stay motivated. I’d recommend Dave to anyone interested in improving their strength and fitness - his advice around nutrition has helped me make some easy changes that are having results. I’ve lost a few kilos, stopped drinking alcohol during the week and feel better about myself.

Hello, Just wanted to leave a recommendation if anyone out there does a search for Handyman recommendations. Vincent, on the number below, has just completed some work at our house and he was brilliant: friendly, prompt, competent, tidy, and the work is great. His number is: 07931-737 773 Thanks, Chloe

Hello, This is a short-notice request to see if anyone out there has a van we could borrow to help us move some trestle tables for our Big Lunch Party this Sunday! We need to collect them at 8am on Sunday morning, and return them the same day (after 5pm), exact time to be confirmed. I realise that it's a pretty long shot-to say the least-but if anyone out there has a van that they wouldn't mind us using (we'd need to find out about insurance cover etc obviously!), we'd be really grateful! PM me if you think you might be able to help us out Thanks very much! Chloe

I'd recommend Richard as well - reliable, polite and competitively priced.

Hello again, That's brilliant, thanks to all who have replied with thoughts and advice. It's given me a little more confidence to keep thinking about this idea! I'll probably be back again with some more interest-gauging queries, till then, thank you! C x

Hello, I haven't posted anything on here before but I am hoping to gauge interest in a small, home business that I am thinking of starting. It is simply homemade baby/toddler meals, 5 portions delivered frozen to local parents of young children. I'm imagining that it would be about ?15 for a week's worth of meals. I am sure that there are already individuals who provide this service, but I am wondering if there is a market for more. And also what thoughts would be on completely organic, or just meat/fish organic etc etc... Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.
