Advantages: easy to use, weight just falls off and body tones Disadvantages: takes ages to assemble
...Those of you with Sky TV have probably come across Tony Little on the Best Direct shopping channel. Quite simply, the guy is mental. He is short, with long curly hair and he is extremely fit. If you watch him for too long he will drive you insane. He is surrounded by gorgeous models showing you how easy this can be! The adverts also feature "real" people who have gone from fat to thin and unfit to fit!
We watched his adverts several times and then decided to go for it and buy a Gazelle. We bought the Gazelle Freestyle Elite as it takes a heavier weightload and also has power pistons with 3 settings for different levels of endurance. Myself and my partner are both around 20 stone and did not wish to take a risk on the smaller model as the Gazelle Freestyle XL only takes up to 18 stone. The frame on that model is not so sturdy...

Advantages: Ready when you are, no embarrasment of the gym Disadvantages: Bit heavy to move about, may need motivation, annoying video
...I've tried going to the gym...and I failed. I could never seem to find the motivation to go and when I was there I found excuses to leave. During my 9 or-so months membership at the gym I did enjoy using the Cross Trainer machine and wished I had one of my own. My sister having turned 30, and being just over a year older than me, has decided that its time to get fit and has invested in a Cross Trainer. Not to be outdone I thought I would do the same.
I happened across the shopping channels one day and saw Tony Little advertising his Gazelle Freestyle and shouting (literally) about how great it is. I had to admit that it did look easy, but then these things always do!!
So off I went in search of a Gazelle. I was loathed to spend the £15 P&P charge from the TV shop so I had a look on Ebay and was pleased to find that the same...

Advantages: convenient size, good brightness, extremely durable, water & shock resistant Disadvantages: more expensive than comparable inferior models
...Most people who know me well are aware of my obsession with torches and flasks. There’s probably some deep and meaningful psychological reason for this but what causes it I don’t know. The results are an incapability to walk past a display without browsing, which frequently ends up with me buying. There is no doubt that in the event of an electrical failure I cold illuminate my street and keep its residents supplied with hot drinks!
I have a lot of torches including little key ring ones, credit card style, forehead lamps to he more standard, traditional torch. I’ve got wind up, rechargeable, kinetically charged and battery powered ones and from this choice I’ve selected the MagLite Solitaire Key Ring Flashlight. MagLite are one of my favourite brands as they are so well made, so nicely presented ad somehow so sexy- yeah I know...

This is a review of the single cordless phone - BT Freestyle 3200. You can buy this as a twin pack, trio or quad but I only needed the single phone to replace my old BT Synergy cordless phone.

I am not really a gadgets person if I am honest, the simpler the better for me. I am not going to sit down and read a manual to find out how something works. I like to plug it in, press an on button and away we go.
I was in desperate need of a new... more
