Argh!!! I broke my laptop

About 3 weeks ago I tripped over my power cable to my laptop and it hasn't quite been the same since.

I've had to keep a book rested underneath the point where the power cable goes in just to keep it charging and since the battery doesn't really hold a charge anymore it keeps cutting out.

Last week when I was at my personal training session my personal trainer Steve suggested I use a company in Chingford called CCS. They offer a no fix no fee service and don't charge for diagnosis unlike most places.

I got on the train at Liverpool street and in 20 minutes I was in Chingford. An engineer was available to look at my laptop straight away. I was amazed at the speed and proficiency with which he took it apart. He showed me the broken part and got a replacement DC jack from stock.

The whole process took only half an hour and I was only charged £50. PC world had quoted me over £200!

Now my laptop works a treat!

Thankyou Chingford Computer Services

My New Personal Trainer

After seeing some great results at the boot camp I've decided to push the boat out and get a personal trainer. I was so impressed with the boot camps that I have signed up for 1 personal training session per week for the next 10 weeks and got a great discount for block booking.

At my first session with my personal trainer we discussed my aims (weight loss & toning up). We drafted a plan that covers not only my gym sessions but also some helpful diet tips.

I go to the gym maybe three times a week - but only meet with my personal trainer every thursday. The rest of the time I just stick to the plan and work out by myself.

My personal trainer meets me at my gym (fitness first in Liverpool Street) and the session lasts for an hour.

I love it and can feel the benefits already after only two weeks.

I thoroughly encourage anyone who is looking to get healthy to hire a personal trainer and the guys at Walker Bros Fitness could not be more helpful, they really know their stuff.

Sunny London Boot Camp

So I start the second week of the Walker Bros Fitness London city boot camp at Liverpool Street. Great fun and the weathers been beautiful!! The boys sure like the kettle balls, we've had a few sessions with them so far;  I really like the TRX sessions too. I'm starting to see the results - I've lost 4pounds after the first week and have toned up :0)

Bring on the second week :))) xx
