ello & welcome to the July’s edition of the mkflyers.
As you are all aware it is not Stuart this month doing our words page as he & his wife Kim were greeted with the most precious gift of all this month the birth of their gorgeous daughter Lucy Oliphant who was born 29th May 2014 @ 17:49 weighing a very healthy 8lb 7oz. Stuart has taken a few weeks off to spend with Kim Harry & Lucy so I have had the pleasure of taking the limelight this month. What a month we have had at mkflyers, I was given the chance to test out HotPod Yoga based in Newport Pagnell this class was amazing check out my review on page 36. I would like to personally thank all our new clients this month but I do not have enough space so please check the pages to find out more. If you have any events in Milton Keynes please let us know so we can add to our ‘what’s on’ page on the website.
Check out www.mkflyers.co.uk/whats-on to see what’s going on in July and the coming months. In the center of the flyers we have a pull-out where businesses have sponsored a beach ball for our chosen charity this year - The Air Ambulance. Thank you to all our sponsors from everyone at mkflyers I would also like to congratulate our competition winner this month Sharon Henshaw who won a £50 Dri Wash valeting voucher.

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!

The New Citroen DS3 Cabrio Reviewed 03/08/13
Citroen DS3 Goes Topless I have to say at first I wasn’t sure about this car as it’s like a half convertible but it did grow on me.
The DS3 has been a massive success for Citroen. They have really gone after the Mini and Audi A1 market, and with its great looks and drive, there’s no surprise they have shifted 36,000 of them in the UK alone. So it is only natural they have now come out with a Cabrio model - there is currently only a 1.6 petrol version but they are releasing a diesel later on in the year. I tested the 1.6 THP 155 in a D-sport model and it was a good spec with a very nippy engine. The main negative is that when the roof is down full, you can’t see behind you, but the positives definitely out way the bad; like you can sit 3 people in the back (which is unusual on a soft top) and the boot is great when the roof is up, so ideal for the school runs if you can live with putting the seat up every time someone gets in the back as its only comes in a 3dr. You can still personalise your DS3 with different coloured roofs and mirrors to the car, and you can
even get purple leather if you’re that way inclined! The drive is very smooth and quiet, and with a great stereo with bluetooth, & lots of gloss and stainless steel, the inside feels like a real quality car. It even has a button in the car you can press and call Citroen if you have a problem with the car or you have broken down and it will connect you directly to Citroens help line!! The diesel will be the one to look out for as the petrol version is a bit thirsty and if you can, stretch to the D-sport + that comes with nice little extras like leather as standard. MPH = 47.9 Combined Top speed =132 0-60 =8.2 CO2=137 On the road price £19,136 (Lease price £199+vat over 2 years with 6 payments up front based on 10k miles a year)

MP’s Diary Bucks Biz = Expansion & Growth An invitation for me visit Bucks Biz in Newport Pagnell was yet another clear message that economic growth in Milton Keynes is going from strength to strength. Bucks Biz is a family business operating over three sites in MK; Bletchley Business Campus, Denbigh Business Park and Interchange House, Newport Pagnell. The 110 serviced business units at Interchange House span 100,000 sq. ft. and were bought by CJ Muscat Properties in 2010. Since then they have invested £6m to upgrade the building which includes a hair salon gym and café. Bucks Biz houses companies who provide employment to more than 200 people and has seen their tenant’s individual growth spiral upward ahead of national averages. On the whole 60% of their business is new business start-ups, with unique opportunities to customise their space within the building giving their customers flexibility now and in the future. My tour was led by Joe Muscat owner of Muscat Properties and Jay Raj, Director of Clock Property. Clock Property were established in March 2014 and are a firm of commercial property consultants, surveyors & agents who are also based in Milton Keynes. The business provides professional services ranging from sales, leasing and acquisitions of office, industrial and retail properties. For me, Bucks Biz clearly have a winning formula, their continuing expansion is encouraging and it is a strong positive message to MK businesses that the economy is now on the rise.

Beaver Scout Colony took up the challenge and created a spectacular sensory garden at Middleton Primary School. At the end of the 6 week project, with the designs and materials being generously sponsored by Dobbies, all six plots were filled with wild flowers to attract butterflies, insects, bees and a variety of other wildlife to what was otherwise an urban area. Andy said, “I wanted to give our young people an opportunity to experience an outdoor activity and for them to champion all the amazing opportunities and adventures we offer in the Scouting movement.” Arriving at the opening ceremony, I was very impressed with the transformation and I congratulate the Beavers Group. The sensory garden is an inspirational project which will add to the children’s enjoyment and enhance their education. Do you have a couple of hours to spare to support Andy? Without volunteers, his waiting list of young “eager Beavers” will just keep growing.

ould you like to turn your kitchen scraps into high-quality, extrarich compost and plant food?
You would? Well invest in a wormery and before long you’ll be knee-deep in vermicompost and leachate (that’s worm poo and liquid food to the uninitiated!) I’m a fairly recent wormery convert. I had it in my head that they were smelly, difficult things to keep but I was wrong. A wormery is basically a tiered box-system which contains specialist composting worms who just love to munch on kitchen waste. The worms work their way up through the levels leaving compost in their wake. As each tray is fully composted it can be removed, dug into the garden or used to plant containers, then replaced

at the top of the stack and refilled with waste. There are two types of worms: Dendrobaena worms and and Tiger worms. Both are epigeic worms, which means they live on the surface of the soil or in the top ten inches of the top-soil under the litter layer. There’s little to choose between them. Both are native to this country and harmless to other species. Both can survive from 3-27 degrees Celsius and can double their population every 4-5 months. Dendrobaena worms are larger though and possibly more suited to the wet and slightly acidic conditions of a wormery. Being larger they may also be better at aerating the compost. There are different sizes of composter, from mini-composters to suit a single person to larger ones which can deal with the waste produced by a whole family.
Oh, and kids love worm eries... it’ll become a real talki ng point!

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.

HotPod Yoga Review by Kelly Thompson
G
et ready for the ‘hottest’ session in town. Once you have tried this I know you are going to want more…. I guarantee you!
I was given the pleasure by Emma Brinsden the owner & instructor of HotPod Yoya Milton Keynes, a heated pop-up inflatable studio based in Newport Pagnell. This is a very intensive, balanced physical workout storing calm and clarity to the mind in cocoonlike pods. In 37 degrees heat this warms the muscles and aids flexibility as well as making the heat work harder. All this and purifying sweat help to ensure maximum benefit from your effort. I am not going to lie, this was the hardest worked out I have done as the sweat just drips off you!

Emma is a fantastic teacher who helped with my balance as I have only attended a yoga session once before. It is all in your breathing, Emma tells you everything you need to do & when. She is so gentle & calm I really did just get lost in my thoughts & after a while got used to the heat. At the time of the class I didn’t hurt much, it was not until the following day when I literally had to roll out of bed when I noticed my stomach muscles were very tender, as well as my neck, arms & legs (but bearable). Like they say ‘No pain, no gain’! I will definitely be going back to these classes; I feel in my mind fantastic & actually really good about myself - I really do feel like I could take on whatever life throws at me.
