Hi Sunlover, I have been going to group personal training sessions (small group sessions of no more than 4 people) as a more affordable alternative to personal training at ESPH for almost a year now and in that time have been trained by most of the trainers there, Max, Rodrigo, Alexei, Gigi and Nanette. I think they are all great but they all train in different ways and it really depends what you are looking for. It may be sensible to try out some of the classes some of the trainers also take (which you should be able to go to for free if you area member) so you can see who you think you would get on with! PM me if you want to ask any more questions

Call the council, environmental services have a "graffiti removal squad"

Thames Galleries are very good.

REN Flash Rinse 1 minute facial is very good at leaving you looking fresh faced. They sell REN products at Dr Boo on Northcross Road or there is free delivery on their website until Sunday.

We used www.casa-catering.com last summer and they were fantastic

It really only means that they are happy that the house is worth what you are borrowing despite the damp, and in fact some lenders have given up making retentions at all (Santander/Abbey is an example)

I suffered from rosacae about 15 years ago, and skin care products have moved on at lot since then! One thing I found that helped was giving up dairy products. Doctor was very dismissive of it as no research to show it worked but it worked for me, so it might be worth a shot!

Thanks for your reply Lee. We actually have someone coming to look at it tomorrow but it's very useful to have an idea of what the problem could be.

Can anyone recommend someone who could diagnose and fix an underfloor heating (wet system) problem? The heating only seems to be working in one half of the room.

Can anyone recommend someone to do a very small welding job (part of a mirror stand has snapped and the mirror will not now stand upright)

I am not aware of any local solicitors who can do this as I think this can only be done by the Foreign Office - I think you can send the document off to them by post and get it done for about ?30 (or if you are in a rush they have a "premium service" in London for about double that)- a notary may be able to send it off for you (but would obviously add their own fee to the cost charged by the FCO)Actually have just checked on the FCO website and they have a leaflet https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/legalisation-office-guidance-leaflet

I think Hirsts sells fresh yeast as well

Suleyman took it over, if you do a search on here you should find his number

We have used The Sash Guy on a couple of occasions and were very happy with the work he did.

She probably thought you might want to advertise the Goose is Out on something that they will be preparing for the surgery (e.g an appointment card)- we get calls from people selling advertising space all the time - they just research the local area for businesses that they can "hit on" and your name and/or number must have come up!

Get a bus (or cab) to Victoria Coach Station and then get the National Express Coach to Stansted - they go every 15 minutes or so! I have a colleague who does this quite often (and does not trust the train due to previous experiences of cancellations!)

Andy and Richard have just completed work on the interior of my husband's new warehouse/studio. They have done an excellent job painting the whole of the interior and constructing storage units. They are personable, reliable and professional and were reasonably priced. I would recommend them.

If you are National Trust members Dyrham Park is only about a mile away from Junction 18 on the M4 (down the A46 towards Bath) which has a great picnic and play area and loads of room to run around and let off steam!

I think Netquest on Pellat Road can do this

Sainsburys clothes section is closed at the moment so save yourself a journey!

If the price of a property changes then the lenders do need to be informed - if the change in price does not push the mortgage over their accepted loan to value ratio then they would probably not change the amount that they were lending you but they are likely to issue a new mortgage offer showing the reduced price. No solicitor would agree to proceed with a reduced purchase price without telling the lender! Abbey would normally get a reduced offer out to you within a week. The other way round it is to get an allowance from the seller to cover the cost of the works (i.e you pay over less on completion but the purchase price on the documents remains the same) but this would also need to be declared to the lender and unfortunately, in my experience, Abbey normally refuse to agree to allowances so in your case you would need to try to get a price reduction if the Seller was willing to negotiate.

We need someone who has a chain saw to cut up some oak sleepers into "bricks" for us - any recommendations?

If you are turning the garage into residential accommodation, and if this involves changing the external appearance of the garage (e.g putting windows where the door was) then, yes, you would need estate approval. If your alterations are internal only ( e.g from the outside it would still look like a garage) then you would not.

Try ultrasun, no perfum, preservatives etc, great for sensitive and sun sensitive skin, not sure about eczema because we did not suffer that problem. It is not cheap but it is a once a day application so a bottle lasts a while. Qvc occasionally have good deals on it, you can get it at John Lewis and locally Dr Boo used to stock, not sure whether they still do. Was great for my daughter who was very sun sensitive.

A particularly aggressive duster seller has just called round. There was a very nasty verbal altercation between my husband and him. I have reported it on the police non-emergency number and they are circulating his description but just beware if you live in the area and perhaps think twice before opening the door!
