Advantages: Getting my priorities right
Disadvantages: Only 10 things

...on my drive with a half hearted 'for sale' sign in the back window. Then my son discovered that his smart looking Rover was not so smart under the bonnet...Dilemma solved ..No 2 son is now driving around in Henry and it looks as though it will happily see him through until he finishes University in summer 2007y..Then what will I do?? I somehow dont think he'll be listed on Ebay Item Number 2 saved from the internet hammer: My son's collection of Transformer Annuals... Why...Well when he was little and not 6'4" tall he sat for hours on my knee reading them with me and as a little 5 year old he could read words like evil decepticon - heroic autobot, and even transformers(a rather long word for a five year old)..So really I have to credit these books for getting my son reading...only to be put off later by a very narrow minded teacher...

Advantages: Hopefully you will see improvements
Disadvantages: An expensive dance workout DVD

...exercises, so my Wiimote sits far away. Afterall, you do need a ridiculous amount of space to play Wii Fit. That's why it's lucky it is a family product and you can get away with having it in your living room. There is no way you could ever play Wii Fit in your bedroom. There are upcoming releases that use the balance board, so it will be interesting to see if these are also able to aid weight loss because that's what Nintendo video games appear to be becoming all about. I like it, but I don't love it.... Read review

Advantages: healthy - plenty of vitamins
Disadvantages: relatively expensive - not suitable for lactose intolerant or people with wheat allergy

...Special K is available in "original", "Red berries" and "Black berries" - sold as purple berries in Britain - flavours - I usually go for the Black Berries variety. The plain variety is of course cheaper - usually it retails for EUR 2.99 (ca. GBP 2.10) and the Berries varieties for EUR 3.29 (GBP 2.35), however, there are sometime reductions - EUR 2.49 (GBP 1.80) and EUR 2.79 (GBP 2.00) respectively. Their current promotion here is for slimming in summer, and there is a promotion on for the "Special K BodyManager" - available for 2 coupons (1 per 300g pack) and EUR 5.70 (GBP 4.00) - which was enticing as I wanted a pedometer to see how much I walk each day... I do sometimes feel that for a cereal that promotes healthy eating it seems too sugary sweet. Maybe the sweetness is a clear ploy to get you not to put sugar on the stuff - not part... Read review

Advantages: Without doubt, the best equipped gym in the area
Disadvantages: Can be overcrowded the changing rooms are a mess

...more. All of these are inlcuded in the monthly membership, so if you want to take part you can just sign in at reception and join in. For parents, there's a creche and nursery on site, and if you're peckish there's a cafe that sells healthy food and drink for reasonable prices. Upstairs is Tranquillity, a health spa, where for an extra fee you can get massages, manicures and a whole host of treatments. I even get my hair cut there! Sunbeds cost a bit extra two. There are three high-intensity sunbeds for serious tanners like me! One of these is a stand-up sunbed and the other two are good quality lie-down beds with integrated facial tanners. One session on a sunbed costs GBP 7.00, or you can buy a course of 6 sessions for GBP 36.00 although they frequently do deals on sunbed courses where you pay just GBP 28.00. If you are interested...

Advantages: EXERCISE IN YOUR OWN HOME
Disadvantages: IF YOU ARE FAIRLY FIT MIGHT BE BORING TO BEGIN WITH

..., Tesco's, Asda, Dixons, Woolworths……….and anywhere else that you might be able to buy the game. All to no avail. The product was "out of stock". The young man at Currys was quite helpful. He said that his head office had stopped sending the Wii Fit game to the stores and was now only selling on-line as they were in short supply. Now, short supply for a game that had been hyped up out of (what I considered to be all proportion) - surely such a major corporation as Nintendo had the foresight to produce at least 10% more than they thought they would sell? Apparently not - a Wii Fit seemed to be as impossible to get hold of as a greased pig. Now working in the logistics industry as I do, I heard all the rumours about container loads of these games languishing quay-side in an effort to keep interest in the "Rare" Wii Fit high. Don't know... Read review

Advantages: Who can resist chocolate?!
Disadvantages: *Warning* This review may cause cravings!

...These 'Everything from A-Z' things kinda suck don't they? I can only use one letter once - i can't use C again *sob sob* for what was going to be Chocolate so it's Y instead for Yummy Chocolate! A second installment to my wacky idea of asking a few Ciao members what they like to eat and why but instead of crisp flavours i have decided to base it upon your favourite chocolate bars. There isn't one person on this planet that i know that doesn't like chocolate with the exception of a few people - it can be sooo addictive at times depending on what it is. As before i have asked everyone, 'What is your favourite chocolate bar at the moment and can you give me a large description why?' Straight away i could see quite a few people like the same chocolate bar but with so many brands and varieties a few of you all like the same one... Read review

Advantages: Great exercise, very sociable, nice instructors, well priced
Disadvantages: Hard work

...in a side ways motion. This continued with different instructions being shouted, for about 10 minutes. This was the warm up. After that, the instructor shouted, " right, blues over to X, reds to Y and Greens to Z" The group parted and each ran over to their instructor for that part of the class. From what I remember of that first evening my first class consisted of a heck of a lot of press ups, I didn't know that there was more than one sort of press up before that evening but there are at least 10. For one part of the class the instructor had us reds form a circle, and each person had to suggest a sort of press up for all of the rest of the class to do. For example robin hood press ups are when you go into the normal press up position, but instead of just coming down to the ground and up again, each time you go down... Read review
