Is stubborn, exercise-resistant cellulite damaging your confidence?
I
f you exercise and eat healthily but still suffer from cellulite you may feel as though you have tried everything – allow us to introduce you to lipomassage here in Milton Keynes. Perfect Contour uses 100% natural cellular stimulation techniques which would make a great addition to your regime. We offer Endermologie® which massages the connective tissue deep below the skin, and ultrasound for fat mobilisation. At Perfect Contour we specialise in scientifically proven non-surgical, non-invasive techniques to combat cellulite at the source (unlike some creams which merely plump out the skin to mask the appearance of cellulite) and with no recovery time, it will not hamper your workouts!
target areas onto the bodysuit so they can be clearly identified during all of your sessions. Our latest generation Endermologie® machine, with its patented treatment head, uses two adjustable rollers and mild suction (which, when rolled over the layer of fat, creates а symmetrical skin-fold). This action massages and stretches the connective tissues below the skin and controls deep tissue and fat mobilisation. You can also have completely tailored sessions which include lymphatic drainage and other health benefits – just ask your operative at your consultation. The duration of your treatment depends on the size of area to be treated. Your treatment is conducted twice а week to begin with, in order to maximise the results. And for the most effective results, it is recommended that you lead а healthy and active lifestyle.

The term cellulite is used to describe the collection of subcutaneous fat which causes a dimpling of the skin. Around 90% of women experience some form of cellulite according to published medical studies. Some people wrongly associate cellulite with obesity, but in fact it can also occur in trim women. Cellulite is indeed mostly found in women, due to biological differences below the skin and hormonal changes; it is commonly found in areas like the thighs, buttocks and tummy. As the Perfect Contour technique targets the skin, you wear a specialised bodysuit called Endermowear®. It has been specially designed for your comfort and privacy during sessions, as well as for hygiene purposes. What’s more, your practitioner can trace your

Cloudy2Clear Windows - Service with a smile!
I
t’s been a crazy few months for Cloudy2Clear Windows. The company which specialises in repairing windows which are steamed up, broken or damaged by replacing the panes - not the frames has grown rapidly as homeowners take advantage of their services. Managing Director Billy Harley feels that it’s all about service. ‘Our product is simple. If your double glazing is misted up we can replace the glass at a fraction of the cost of a new window, in any type of frame, and with a new 5 year guarantee. But it’s not just about saving people money, although that obviously helps. Many tradespeople have struggled since last year and I honestly feel that during the good times a minority perhaps didn’t focus on customer care as much as they should have done. We make sure we turn up when we say we will, do the job the
customer requires and leave their house as clean as a whistle. I often get comments back from customers on how they really didn’t expect that sort of service which, in a way, is very sad for the service industry as a whole. ’ Cloudy2Clear service the Milton Keynes, Bedford and Leighton Buzzard areas and Billy is finding that his approach is a major factor in his success. ‘The truth is that it’s not just the personal satisfaction that I get from doing a good job but also it makes good business sense. I get a huge amount of business from friends and family of people I’ve done work for, which just goes to show how much a little bit of effort is appreciated .’
So, if your windows are steamed up, broken or damaged give Billy a cal l for a free quotation on 0800 61 21 118 and he’ll be happy to help!

Positive living What is your training?
H
ow many of us wholly love the life we have and the work we do? How many of us can’t wait for each week to finish to be transported back into the weekend? How many of us wait longingly for pay day as pay back for work we have to do just to make ends meet – or because we over-compensate ourselves through purchases to feel better?
What is your training? Are you corporate through and through? Do you need to feel and see before you believe? Are you totally grounded in every way and much too sensible to believe in anything else? Put your beliefs down for a second and consider this… How would it feel to be in a job or career that you loved, that made your Soul sing, where you no longer felt dread for work or had to process other peoples baggage and/or ever changing whims, where what you did made a very real difference to life, to other people’s lives, to the way you felt about work and what your efforts produced? What if you could really serve? What if there was a way to achieve all of this – without the heavy price tag of extra time and effort… What if you knew absolutely that all choices and decisions you made from moment to moment were exactly right? If all worry and stress could be removed from your shoulders… if you could gain precious time back – to use and enjoy more for yourself – for creating and experiencing your own story? You must remember that for all you are to everyone and everything around you, this is your life too. You deserve to share all you are and will be with those who love, trust and need you the most… You deserve your happy ever after to be now… Why are you doing the work that you do? Did you choose it? Did you feel called to learn all you have – or like many, was it simply what you fell into doing because of what opened up for you at a time that you needed to work? Do you work wholly from necessity – or from Soul Calling? If you could be the person you most wanted to be – who would that be? What would that look and feel like? What if you could make it reality? What if you could spin all of this around and you could use and do what you knew to make you happy and make a greater difference holistically? What would you most like to alter or add your own knowledge to? From the time of your birth you’ve been painting a picture of your life and your journey through time. You’ve connected to others who have been doing the same. But what if life really held more? What if where you are now is not totally in line with what could be, in tune with the sum your lot? What if the best that could happen was still ahead? What if you could be who you wanted to be without the pull and pressures of what’s expected from society? Have you ever felt totally understood, loved or recognised for what and who deep inside you are really? What if all of this were indeed possible, if your relationships could be instantly improved, if all of your mistakes could be put to rest – and you could move forward with a totally clear slate, ready to begin ‘now’ again – but still honouring commitments and integrity and all that ‘being you’ stands for? What if all of these things were possible right now? What if you could build a good strong relationship with family, friends and the greater world that were not draining, expectant or co-dependent? What if you
8 mkflyers
could healthily encourage those around you to stand fully on their own feet to take the lead role in their own live affairs, so you no longer were the stick they constantly leant on? What if all you said and did was totally as was destined to be and you could know that undeniably, without doubt, to remove stress, worry and pressure from your systems? You are a remarkable being. You are powerful and have purpose and potential way beyond anything you recognise up-to-date. My written works will help you understand this. They will unlock what has perhaps until now been dormant and hidden yet has driven the core being that helped drive and shape the real you. Wanting more out of life is a good thing, but channelling that want in ways that serve only to hold you back – is not. What if today was the day your life actually started to work? What if the manifestation and magic of all you wished for began to actually appear and come true? What if the only person blocking the path to happiness, abundance and success now was you? Wouldn’t you like to know how – and to change it? Wouldn’t you like to turn the process around and get started? What if you were supposed to get to this point, to read these words on this page right here right now? What if this ‘IS’ the key to transport you to where your happiness truly lies, to where you should be in line with your own sense of fulfilment, peace, love and self-worth? How many more signals do you need to come across before you begin to see and grasp at these truths? All the books we’ve channelled are INSTANT DIVINE GUIDANCE downloaded especially to help you move forward, to put to use within the natural programming of your own life, much like a conversation between you and your Soul, to answer questions with higher knowledge before you even can think them… Life was never meant to be as hard as we’ve made it. Not all that we’re told is good for us. Not all is truth – for much is based more in fear and regret than higher progress. You are a good person. You are part of life. You deserve the very best that being here in this time frame can offer. Don’t fall into the trap of just treading water, of working to live and then living to work, of thinking that life is against you. It is not. It is crying out to work with you, to help you succeed, because in that success what you give back to it in terms of live energy and input transmitted, will be better, finer and more in tune with what it needs to help you.
Until next month, Be safe, well and happy… Be all you search outwardly for…

Geneva Motor Show Reviewed March 2014
T
his month we visited the Geneva Motor Show so thought we would share some of the fantastic new cars that were launched there this year.
This is still one of the biggest Motor Shows in the world and only a 2 hour flight from Luton, it’s a must for all motoring enthusiasts. It has been going since 1905 (so they know what they’re doing!!), and attracts over three
quarters of a million people over 11 days. This year saw world debuts of the Mercedes S-Class Coupe, C-class, Lamborghini Huracan, Audi TT, and Citroen C1, along with the face lifted Nissan Juke plus loads more. We like to attend this every year so we can advise our clients on model changes and so we know what’s hot and what’s not.

Controlling condensation and mould in the home
D
ampness caused by excessive condensation can lead to mould growth on walls and furniture, mildew on clothes and the rotting of wooden window frames … mould is unsightly, damages property and can be detrimental to health. First steps against mould growth. We need to treat the mould already present in your home, then deal with the basic problem of condensation to stop mould reappearing: There are FOUR main factors that cause condensation: 1. Too much moisture being produced in the home 2. Not enough ventilation 3. Cold surfaces 4. The temperature of your home You need to look at all of these factors to cure a condensation problem. Our everyday activities add extra moisture to the air inside our
homes. Even our breathing adds moisture. Apparently one person asleep adds half a pint of water to the air during the night. (We recommend that you do not stop breathing !!!) To give you some idea of as to how much extra water this could be in a day, here are a few examples: • A bath or a shower - 2 pints • Drying clothes indoors - 9 pints • Cooking and use of a kettle - 6 pints • Bottled gas heater (8 hours use) - 4 pints If you have a condensation and mould problem in your home, whether you are a home owner or a landlord, we are happy to advise and will provide a free estimate for any remedial work that may be required. Safe & Healthy Home s can mend a garden fence, replace a tap or shower, painting and decorating or change a light fitting and lot s more … whether it be a small job or the complete refurbishme nt of a void property … please call us for a fre e estimate.

MP’s Diary Mark Celebrates Historic Vote to Ban Khat MP Mark Lancaster has expressed his delight at a historic vote in Parliament to classify the plant known as Khat as a class C drug. Khat is a plant grown in Kenya and chewed mainly by the East African Community in the UK. It contains the banned substances Cathine and Cathinone and the UK is the only Western European country not to have banned the plant to date. The vote came despite opposition from Liberal Democrats on the committee who voted against a ban. Mark was a member of the Committee when the House of Commons voted to endorse the Home Secretary’s decision last July to ban the drug. Mark has been campaigning to reclassify the drug after receiving requests from his Somali constituents. They were concerned at the impact the drug was having on social cohesion and the family breakdown in Milton Keynes. Police enforcement will take the form of an initial caution followed by a £60 fine for drug users with stronger fines and risk of imprisonment for dealers. After the vote Mark said; “I am pleased that the Committee, with the exception of the Liberal Democrats, supported the Home Secretary’s decision to ban Khat. I know that this will be welcomed by many in the Somali community across the UK. We need to be sensitive as the ban is brought in and I look forward to engaging with the community and police as to how this can be best achieved.”

MP gets behind the wheel of the Volkswagen e-up! Mark Lancaster MP received a warm welcome from the team at Volkswagen Group UK in Blakelands, where he was also invited to test drive an e-up!, Volkswagen’s newly launched electric city car. Once at his destination, Mark commented that the e-up! was very comfortable, despite his 6’ frame and he was amazed at how quiet and responsive it was. The Government’s recent investment in plug–in points in Milton Keynes is a reflection of the increasing acceptance of electric vehicles, but the industry is fully aware that it will take time for the public’s confidence to grow in the new technology. The test drive took Mark to Volkswagen Group UK’s National Learning Centre in Wymbush, where every year over 740 apprentices attend 1-3 year training programmes to develop their skills in a number of roles from product advisors to service technicians. Mark said, “I am delighted that an international company such as Volkswagen Group has recognised Milton Keynes as a place to do business, providing employment for up to 2,000 local people and offering exceptional training facilities for its employees”.

Garden View
Climbing the walls...
S
ay ‘clematis’ and most people will think of the large, purple-flowered, “Jackmanii” or the rampant, bronze-leafed, pinkflowered montana rubens. I have nothing against either of these, but whenever I pass by a house and spot yet another one scrambling up a tatty trellis tacked to the wall, I have to fight the urge to knock on the front door and give what my husband refers to as my ‘clematis lecture’. Clematis is not known as the ‘Queen of Climbers’ for nothing. It can be utterly spectacular and should not be relegated to trellis. It can used for covering fences and arbours, old tree stumps, sheds and even in beds and borders. Choose wisely and you can have flowers from early spring until late autumn. The flowers of the texensis hybrids look like finely cut bells. “Etoile Rose” is a beautiful dark pink edged with paler pink and “Princess of Wales” is a beautiful rosy red. Both of these will scramble through
20 mkflyers

shrubs and flower all summer. They die back in winter so can be tidied up then. Viticella hybrids produce flowers which look like little pixie hats as they open. “Minuet” has purple and white flowers suspended on fine stems while “Purpurea Plena Elegans” produces double blooms which open into little purple rosettes. Clematis prefers its feet in the shade and its head in the sun. Make sure the plant’s roots are shaded: pieces of broken flagstone are ideal, or an old cracked upside-down terracotta pot with the bottom knocked out. When clematis is happy it will flower prolifically. Large-flowered clematis tend to produce a second flush in the autumn, but others like tangutica and orientalis wait to flower until then. Both of these are very vigorous and are great for covering unsightly sheds or old trees. Finally, if you have a sheltered spot against a wall try cirrhosa balearica. This is a beautiful, winter-flowering variety with ferny foliage and pale-green flowers spotted with crimson.
So there you have it... my clematis lecture in a nutshell. Branch ou t with your clematis this year, or you risk me knocking on your door to deliver my lectur e in person!

Small businesses will lead the way in 2014, says company whose tenants already employ 1000 people
M
Milton Keynes will boom in 2014, says the town’s largest serviced business premises provider, as the number of people employed in its units tops 1000 at the close of 2013.
Bucks Biz, with over 400,000 square feet of space and 150 tenants in Bletchley and Denbigh, says it is already planning more units to cope with the expected growth in demand and bringing forward plans to develop extra space at the huge Interchange House in Howard Way. “Our units currently provide work for around a thousand people and we have seen that figure rise steadily,” said Dominic Muscat, a director of the company that owns the business. “As Milton Keynes business booms, led by small businesses, we are already identifying potential new units that can be converted to provide the premises needed for small companies to thrive without hassle.”
Bucks Biz, with units all over Milton Keynes, is renowned for straight talking and dealing; not hiding costs and not charging for many of the little things that keep businesses ticking, but which can be annoying to the point of distraction. “We really believe that if our customers are happy, then they’ll be free to get on with their businesses, which in turn will expand,” added Dominic.

What on earth is Korfball?
M
ilton Keynes has a thriving korfball community, but most people won’t have a clue what it is!
Korfball is a bit like netball and bit like basketball - but better!* It’s played in mixed sex teams of 4 men and 4 women on a court similar sized to basketball. Korfball is played indoors during the winter and outdoors during the summer. The aim of the game is to work with your team-mates to get the ball through the hoop (Korf) Men can only mark men and women can only mark women and unlike netball, you can’t shoot if your defender is within touching distance of you – so you need to move quick! So now you know what korfball is, why not come down and give it a go? MK Lakers Korfball club are always looking for new and enthusiastic members, we train twice a week on a Monday and Wednesday and play league matches on a Sunday. It’s a superb way to get fit and meet lots of new people. As a newbie, you get your first two sessions for FREE and the next two pay as you go - after that, you can decide to join us for only £20 per month. Less than most gym fees and much more fun and sociable! *in our opinion!
