Interest Rates rise and more people won’t own a home!

Is it true? Are we heading for a second credit crunch? Are interest rates going to spiral out of control? Are Britons likely to be forced to rent in future as a shortage of housing supply pushes home ownership out of many people's reach? Well quite frankly I have stopped caring because no matter the state of the economy we still need to eat…and enjoy ourselves! Summer has arrived and it feels good. It is now time to put all of these concerns behind us and get on with enjoying the finer things in life!

A great way of enjoying this new found optimism is to eat out at a nice restaurant – and only pay 50% of the food bill. Restaurant discounts enable you - and whoever you bring with you - to enjoy the whole dining out experience for a fraction of the cost.

So now that we’re at that time of year were everyone dashes to sit outside why not be one of them – and secretly laugh inwardly at the people at the next table who are paying full price..

It’s been a horrible few years and the supermarkets have helped us through with their ‘dining experience at home’ deals. Now let’s move ourselves into a full economic recovery and enjoy the dining experience in a restaurant……. for 50% off the food bill!

To find out more about which restaurants in your local area (and other areas you wish to dine in) are offering discounts of up to 50%, head on over to www. realtimeseating.com and sign up.

Eat out in style this very evening!

Becoming a Skinny me

ARGHHHHH! I just found that my Spring/Summer wardrobe does not fit me anymore!

Yes, I am frustrated, but it is a normal occurrence with the post hibernation period. The Germans even have a word for it that I am not even going to attempt to spell, but it means "winter fat".

But who am I kidding, now that I am a decade older and have more kids than I can handle, shaping up is no small feat… not to mention that I work primarily with food and restaurants, I love food and when I am not busy "working". I am just plain lazy. Yes, that is right, I admit I am very lazy and I hate the whole gym thing.

However there is light at the end of the tunnel for all of us hopeless "chubby" souls out there. A while back I stumbled across a new "fitness" programme called Zumba and just yesterday (10/5/10) Metro newspaper did a two page spread about it. It is great fun and it does get the pounds going, however you still have to do your bit. No magic tricks there.

The best of all is that I already lost a few pounds, improved my stamina and don`t have to go on a diet, meaning that I can still go out and enjoy my "work"; eating my way through the best local restaurants in London.

So for a skinnier, happier you, follow two simple steps

1 - Get into Zumba Party

2 - Get eating at your local restaurant with up to 50% off, sign up now www.realtimeseating.com

As Beto Perez (creator of Zumba) said " Zumba is like Woodstock - without the drugs but with more sex!" and we all know that before sex there is always dining - his words not mine.
