Kyham PS Day Shelter

Advantages: Easy to use, you can get on with other things while wearing it
Disadvantages: Pricey

...Apparantly Posh Spice does 200 sit-ups a day...has she not heard of the Slendertone Flex?? I am a fairly energetic young lady, with a clothes size of 14 on top and 12 from the waist down....makes buying dresses a nightmare, but heh that's another story. So while not possessing a big tummy I am prone to the horrid "folds" effect around my waist. A tight top may look nice when I am standing up tall, but when I then sit down and everything accordions together it tends to ruin the effect. And although all of us are prone to folds when we sit down (apart from the 11 supermodels amongst us in the world) I tend to be fairly paranoid about it and sit with my arms firmly crossed so as to lessen the appearance of the folds (though lending myself a rather stern, non-approachable demeanour I presume!). After visiting my fiance's folks last... Read review

Advantages: Such a simple idea - nothing to remember or buy batteries for
Disadvantages: Setting clearances of magnets is fiddly

The other, whilst at the same school, was to read the ads on my CTC (Cycle Touring Club) magazine to espy the Reelight SL 120 lighting system on the back cover.

Advantages: cheap, beautiful countryside
Disadvantages: groups are too large (although I did go on Bank holiday)

I assured him that the centre was approved by leading equine safety organizations and so off we went on the Saturday of the last Bank Holiday weekend. Three friends of ours had joined us on a well needed long weekend escapade from stressful London. We were a group of five; 3 experienced riders, 2 novices, but we were joined by a large group of touring South Africans, all trying riding for the first or second time. Maryanne and Sian were our ‘tour leaders and sorted out riding hats for those without, then a brief instruction was given to the beginners on the very basics of getting on and holding the reins etc, before we were matched up with our mounts for the day.
