I joined curves a month ago after I became uncomfortable at a male/female gym. The all female environment makes me comfortable working out and the fact that I get my workout done in 30 minutes is great. It's also cheaper than the other gym I was going to.
Approximate cost: $60 per month
My sister forced me to get a french manicure two days before my wedding and I had no booking. Camille managed to fit me in at the last minute and her price was really reasonable for the service - probably the best in town price-wise.
Over all they made the process of buying a car quite easy. They did all of the leg-work and had the best prices for the quality of the cars on the yard in town. I'd definitely go back if I ever needed to buy another car. Their car sales service was the best I've experienced
The best fish and chips in town! For a small take-away shop these guys really make an effort. I'm pretty picky about fish and chips, but they have a great way of cooking the chips and the fish is (most of the time) tasty. I have been disapointed by the Barramunid though and reverted to Flake again after trying it.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
Sometimes they put too much salt on, but it helps if you specify that you want "very little" salt and then they get it just about right.
Approximate cost: $7.50
I know a bit about cars, being the daughter of a mechanic myself, however have found that most mechanics still try to pull the wool over your eyes. Col Spooner did not do this. He explains things well and if you ask him to fix something fixes that and does not come back with a list of other things that "need" repairing. He finishes his work in a timely manner and the cost is on par with the other mechanics in town if not cheaper.
I walked into Dave Stevens crash Repairers and was not sure what to expect. I had never crashed a car before. They assisted me in filling out the insurance claim forms and when I got a letter saying the repairs were approved they booked me in the next week.
I had heard rumours that he rarely got work done on time, while others said he always had their vehicles ready on time (This person does not crash his car a lot, but does assist in managing a fleet of company vehicles, and the staff are very hard on their vehicles).
My car was ready on time and had been washed, polished and tidied and vacummed. I was very impressed.
Squash brook has a brand new cardio room with a range of cardio equipment including x-trainers, treadmills, bikes, steppers, rowers and upper body ergo machines. They run regular fitness Les Mills classes including Pump and have a large weights room with a lot of various weight machines. They also have a pool sauna and spa and run Aquafit classes.
They make the best pizzas! They are loaded with toppings and have a yummy soft base. Try the House Special. The service is as you would expect from a takeaway pizza place. I am constantly surprised by the variety of meals availible to. They have Pasta's and Marinated Ribs, the only downfall is that their wedges are often soft as they are sealed in a box and sometimes the pizzas can be a greasy.
Approximate cost: $6.75
These ladies know what customer service is. They have spend a lot of time with me planning my wedding and I had my hair trail done here with my Maid of Honour. They really listened to what I wanted however they were also very good at pointing out if they thought that my hair would not hold for the whole day in a particular style (due to the weight of my hair). The cost was very reasonable for the amount of time they spent with us.
I will be visiting again.
I've had facials in the past and felt really uncomfortable, but Maddy and the girls put me at ease as soon as I walked in the door. They were so professional and friendly throughout that I booked in for a second facial a few weeks later.
