'Most people worry about what they eat between Christmas and New Years, when they should actually worry about what they eat between New Years and Christmas'.


The new years festivities are over. The liver is back to functioning at normal levels, the champagne glasses neatly stored in the kitchen cupboards and the rolls of streamers tucked away until the next cause for celebration erects itself. As we drift back into routine and a working week, we are so frequently hit with the question of new years resolutions that small bruises are starting to form. It is the ultimate in smalltalk, post-festiveseason. My question is, are new years resolutions really necessary? They provide us with a sense of hope and potential, filling our hearts with the future possibility of true happiness, love and success. We tell our colleagues, our friends, our family; 'This is the year I [quit smoking/stop drinking/lose weight/find a better job/find a better boyfriend/find God/dye my hair green etc.]', but come mid-January, I see only the pressure of these goals we get from ourselves, our friends, our family and our colleagues coming down on us when asked 'So have you [quit smoking/met sobriety/stopped eating cake for breakfast/quit your job/dumped him/been to church/found a stylist] yet?'. Do you feel pressured? Have you started on your goals yet? I say ditch the new years resolutions and focus on a balanced all-year round approach to achieving your goals.http://www.postalgold.info/

    • Nadia did a great job tidying up my very very overgrown yard. (See the before and after photos). I live in New Zealand and my tenants said a neighbour has been complaining about the out of control ivy. Nadia was easy to contact so over WhatsApp, managed to liaise between me and my tenants. Her quote was reasonable for the amount of work that needed doing, and the end result is great! She sent photos throughout so I could track progress. Would highly recommend her to others. 
    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky. 
    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
