If you ever need a massage, then Donna at Relax Detox is your woman - she is absolutely amazing - and a regular 'life saver' for my poor neck and back which suffer terribly from too much 'mouse time' on the computer. Amanda is also fabulous for eyebrow shaping and tattooing.

The Skin Institute provide terrific facials, peels, pre-wedding preparation plus can assist with fillers and botox. Chocolate box pretty inside. Staff are very pleasant to deal with.

These guys know how to speak to you in plain simply language - not 'geekspeak'. They also know what they're doing - be it setting up systems, implementing new servers, troubleshooting website or PC problems.

Greg Goodman is an amazing dermatologist. He has a selection of excellent doctors on staff who provide botox and filler services. I have never had any side effects or bruising - they are incredibly good at what they do.

I have had several items upholstered by George at Accord - dining chairs and outdoor furniture cushions - he always does a wonderful job. Accord have also installed blinds for my home - again the service was great. Prices are very reasonable, timing is quick and communication is excellent.

The best range of books available, they have a terrific loyalty programme and fantastic staff - what more can you ask for!

I regularly deal with Marian at SMT for overseas travel - she has great recommendations for all kinds of accommodation (quirky, upmarket, unusual), always manages to find the best fares, and is exceedingly pleasant to deal with.

Great vets who really care about your animals. I've been using this veterinary practice for the past 13 years for my two cats. Waiting time can be a bit long for appointments - I often call before my appointment to see if the vet is running on time.

If you're after a yummy thin crust pizza, want to take your own wine, and receive excellent service, then A Mano is for you. Make sure you book because as you can imagine - it's often very busy.

I've had 2 facials and 3 massages at Uspa - all have been an excellent experience. The first facial I had, I floated out of the spa - I was so blissed out that I didn't realised I had left all my jewellery there until I'd been home half an hour! When I returned the lovely woman was standing at the door with everything packed into an envelope for me. Beautiful people, a stunning environment and excellent therapists.
