Really hungry? Go to the Exchange. Have had dinner here, twice in the past month, during the week. The food is delicious, the serves huge and value for the dollar is way better than most other places. I'll be going back, regularly.

My hair is notoriously difficult to cut, it refuses to respond to styling and its very wiry. Add to that, I rarely go for a cut when it is needed, mostly just when I think of it. Stephanie, the owner at Fusion, is a most excellent cutter, and an exceptionally nice young woman as well. She never bats an eyelid when I come in looking like the wreck of the Hesperus, she just gets on with the job. No fuss. I've been very happy with her, and I'm sure the other lasses are just as good, they certainly seem to all be equally competent.

I did Herbalife years ago, found it effective in getting the weight off. Other health benefit was that I've never had a migraine since using it. However, as you say, its about wealth, not health, and once I stopped, all the weight and then some, piled back on, and I never made any money out of it at all. Its a rort.

I had occasion to ring Barry when I was having a problem getting my gas heating connected to the bayonet mount. He was willing and able to visit the same afternoon, but instead, made a suggestion which enabled me to do the fix myself. I'll be calling him when its time to get my bathroom done.
