First of all I have to say that it hurt – a lot more than I was expecting.  Having said that the results are pretty amazing and my girlfriend is thrilled with the results.  Personally I am not too sure about all this male grooming stuff, but if it keeps her happy then that's all that matters.  I may take a bit of stick from my mates about it, but I guess that's only to be expected.  I would do the same.

My girlfriend is now suggesting we go to a spa or salon together for treatments.  I am not sure I am up for that yet.  She has found a good place for Reiki massage called www.reikimassagebirmingham.co.uk

Now I have not had a complete personality transplant and while I was happy to go along with a bit of male waxing, I am not convinced about doing much more.  I don't feel the need to have all these 'fluffy' treatments.  I am sure my girlfriend will keep trying to convince me otherwise, but we will see who wins out in the end.

The event was in Edinburgh, so I had a flight to catch. I have been using www.airporttransferlittlehampton.co.uk for years for all of my airport transfers because they always provide a reliable and professional service. I felt very glamorous going on a plane to the dinner. The charity dinner was wonderful and I’m so glad that I made the effort to go up to Scotland for it. When I arrived back at the airport, the airport transfer company were waiting to take me back home, it made my life so much easier.

Last month I went to www.reformerpilatesfulham.co.uk to try a new form of Pilates where you use a machine to help you get the optimum exercise. I have to admit that I was a bit dubious to start with, but after my first session was over I knew that this was something that I had to try again. The machines really push you so that you get the optimum stretch. I was aching very badly the next day, but it was worth it.

I’ve now been for three classes and I absolutely love it. The reformer machine helps you to hold the poses and really gives you an intense workout. I feel like I can already see results, it’s fantastic!

My facial was so relaxing I fell asleep! The creams they used felt great on my skin and I even purchased some myself to use at home. I left feeling completely relaxed and my skin felt lovely and smooth, my friends commented on my face the next day saying I had a healthy glow. I will definitely be going to World Of Beauty By Katy again, I have already booked myself in for a massage next week, it's a great excuse to get out of the house and I return calm and stress free.

I can’t wait for the wedding, and I think that I’m going to enjoy myself even more now that I am relaxed and prepared for the big day. I wonder if the bride is getting as many beauty treatments as I am!

 I have started going to weight loss Daventry and the results have been amazing.  I am already starting to lose weight and feel much healthier and happier in myself.  I have a programme that is tailored to my individual needs and that sets realistic and achievable targets.  I am confident that I will reach my desired weight in time for a family wedding in October: I will be able to fit into a dress that I bought before my accident, which is a real achievement for me.

I have had a difficult year, but I am now feeling far more positive about the future.  It is such a relief to feel better, at last.

It was my wife who noticed it first, as I was acting so unlike myself. She said I should try www.stressmanagementhitchin.co.uk to see if they could show me how to calm down a little and manage my stress a bit better.

When I went for my first session last week they basically just asked me a lot of questions about my life and my family and my past. It was quite helpful just being able to talk to someone impartial about everything.

I realised in that first session with www.stressmanagementhitchin.co.uk that everything must just have been getting on top of me. I had no real problems at home, work was fine, I didn’t have any more money worries than the average person. It must have been a culmination of little things, as opposed to one trigger in particular.

The woman I spoke to has told me that it may take a few weeks just to make sure I know how to manage my stress and begin to deal with things in a calmer way, but that’s fine. So long as I come out of it like I used to be, I don’t mind how long it takes.

However, after much badgering I passed on the details for my own hairdressers, as I’ve always been very pleased with the results I’ve had when I’ve been there. Hopefully http://www.hairsalonroyston.co.uk/ would not let my friend down either!

I was bizarrely quite nervous once she’d rung up and booked the appointment. It felt like the pressure was on! I made her promise to call me as soon as she got out of the salon to let me know how it had gone.

I have no shame in admitting I was a nervous wreck waiting for the call!

It turned out I had nothing to worry about at all. She was really happy with her new do, and she invited me out for a drink to say thank you for the recommendation, and show off her new hair I suppose!

I was so pleased that my hairdressers had done such a good job for her, that I won’t hesitate to recommend http://www.hairsalonroyston.co.uk/ to anyone again!

It was my wife who suggested I went for acupuncture in the end. I think she was so sick of my whining that she was looking for any port in a storm. She booked me an appointment at www.acupuncturetherapyhertford.co.uk.

I was fairly dubious to begin with. As far as I was concerned acupuncture was one of those new age mumbo-jumbo treatments which was highly unlikely to have any impact where paracetamol had failed, but I went along to please her.

When I arrived at www.acupuncturetherapyhertford.co.uk I asked the man to go through everything with me very slowly and clearly.

He told me that acupuncture worked by encouraging the body’s energies to flow freely and therefore removing whatever is there causing pain and discomfort.

I wasn’t comvinced, but after all these years of crippling headaches I was willing to give it a go.

I felt like a bit of an idiot lying on the table with needles in my head, but I have to admit that afterwards I did feel a bit of relief.

I don’t know how it worked, but it did seem to make it better, so I’ve signed up for a few more sessions now.

I had a couple of days off work before the wedding to help her sort things out in the run up to the big day and I thought it would be the perfect chance to get a new wedding do. The problem was that I lived in Manchester and she lived in Cheshunt, so I didn’t know any hairdressers in the area.

The internet was the answer. I searcher for stylists in Cheshunt and www.hairdresserscheshunt.co.uk came up.

The salon looked lovely. I wanted to find somewhere not too trendy as, although I wanted a change, I didn’t want something totally off the wall.

When I called up to book an appointment the staff were really friendly and happy to listen to me moan on about my hair dilemma. I went along two days before the wedding with the slight fear and trepidation which goes along with a trip to the salon, but the staff at www.hairdresserscheshunt.co.uk calmed my nerves and they were very helpful in pointing out styles that would suit me.

I walked out with a short dark brown bob. I looked and felt a million dollars. Best of all, I looked lovely next to my gorgeous sister on her wedding day. I chose the photo where my hair looked best to put up in my living room.
