Thursday 31st May

Afternoon all,

Welcome to our Summer time, it's finally arrived and it's gorgeous so it's been worth the wait - opps sorry I spoke too soon it seems to have left us and been replaced with dark clouds and heavy rain!!!

So several hot topics of discussion this week;

1) My Fat Fetish; any one watch this???  Quite an eye opener we all thought, would you really let yourself get like that and become immobile??

2) Secret Eaters; fascinating how some people dont know why they are putting weight on/not losing any because they think they're not eating anything???  The cameras don't lie, they are eating chocolate bars, burgers, kebabs, drinking wine and beer (calorific drinks) and no exercise???  Really!

3) Red roses; these were received in the office today if anyone has any news who they are from please let us know, very exciting!

4) James' pupil Justyna Szabwoska has passed her test today - congratulations!

5) Video; Please check out the fabulous link below, compiled by Adam Walker himself (only took a week!).

6) Jubliee Celebrations; what's everyone doing, where they going, who they're seeing.....what are you up to, let us know?!  Hopefully the weather will get better and it'll BBQs ago, go!

7) Promotions; Pop along to see our lovely promotions people, Sally and Max in Bromley tomorrow and Max and Jay in Bexleyheath on Saturday to enquiry about driving lessons.

8) Car for sale; ideal little first time runner registered 2010, Nissan Micra, Latte coloured @ £3,900

Tuesday 14th May 2012!

So Happy returns from the weekend, oh and what a lovely weekend it was what with the sun out shinning nearly the whole time!!!
And as per usual with the English weather it hasn't lasted more that a couple of days and it's such a same as the Queen, yes you read right, the Queen is visiting Bromley tomorrow Tuesday 15th May 2012.

Well if she had of been passing the office todya she would have been extremely jealous as look at the doughnuts we have been given today - AMAZING!!!!  Thanks Steve!


Well, to be honest not much has happened today, apart from us stufing our faces (actually I should say that Millie hasn't as she can't eat these goodies as she's wheat intolerant, oh shame - more for us then!).

I have been beavering away booking promotions and ensuring that all paperwork is up to date.


Speak soon!

So what's been happening in the wonderful world of Walkers this week so far...........

Well Karen is still away on holiday, she picked a good time to go as the weather's been rubbish and seems as though it'll continue to be like this for a while.  Martin Walker joined us on Monday evening and was picked up by his lovely wife Rivi who braved the torrential rain/hail stones at silly o'clock - that's love for you!
He has come over to help with promotions; yesterday and today he was in Bromley (so if you see him go for a chat or have a wave) distributing leaflets and giving out information/tips and hints for driving.

Tomorrow, Friday he will be in Edmonton Green, on the concourse by Lidl accompanied with Sally, so any questions you have in regards to driving/theory/practical tests go long and ask them.

COMPETITION
In the aim of trying to increase bookings and generating new pupils for everyone we have decided to run a competition with prizes for both instructors and pupils.  It is open to all pupils who pass their test:
Between 01/05/2012 – 31/07/2012

WINNING PUPIL WILL RECEIVE A £50 BLUEWATER VOUCHER AND A DOUBLE MOTORWAY LESSON

the

INSTRUCTOR OF THE WINNING PUPIL WILL RECEIVE A £50 BLUEWATER VOUCHER

So; to qualify for the competition your passed pupil will need to have their picture taken with their certificate next to your Walkers instructing car and then post the picture on the Walkers Facebook page with their full name and number of minors.

The competition is running from May 1st until July 31st and all pupils that participate will be entered into the draw, with the draw taking place on 1st August.

Instructors can enter as many pupils as they like, so the more passes you get the more chance of winning the prize.
Here's a couple of the first passed pupils; Warren Joseph, Nikhil's pupil passed on Tuesday and Denis's pupil Monique Dawson passed today; CONGRATULATIONS, get posting your certificate!!

I think that's all for the time being but watch this space for more info..........

Friday 27th April

Afternoon All,

So hopefully you haven't drowned during the torrential downpour we have been having recently???!!  Looks as though it has cheered up a bit this afternoon, fingers crossed it stays for the weekend.

Right, well lets fill you in in what's been happening in the Walkers office.......Karen our office manager has jetted off to the Maldives (very nice and we are not at all jealous being stuck in the office/reality!) for her XX birthday (this information cannot be disclosed publicly for fear of in big trouble on her return).  Apparently they are sipping champagne and eating lobster on a secluded beach, who wants to be doing that???

In Karen's absence Rivi has "jetted" over from Israel to help out/cause mayhem (but on the plus side she has bought gifts and rocky road chocolate bites from M&S). 

Congratulations to the following pupils for passing their practical tests;


Aaron Rankin
April Bevington
Miranda Bristow

We are going to run a competition next month for passed pupils so watch this space to find out more details.....

There are also an additional couple of cars for sale;

Nissan Micras - I will upload details next week.....

Happy weekend x

Wednesday 11th April

OMG Easter has been and gone, too quickly in my opinion, and with not enough chocolate I only received two eggs which is pretty poor considering everyone who knows me knows I am a chocolate monster......no comment needed.

Adam returned from Brussels with chocolate presents for us girls, where mine were devoured in about 5 minutes and Angie still has hers left can you believe it????


Karen's luxury holiday to the Maldives is approaching, (our Office Manager) she's off next Friday!!!!  We are extremely jealous, especially since the weather seems to have turned for the worse over here.

Word of the day courtesy of Susan (she's on form ) Equilibrium; 'The equilibrium of the office has returned since Adam has come back from holiday.'

Also I was a hero for the day calling the emergency services, 999 for an accident that occurred outside the office, thankfully it wasn't anything serious but I do think I deserve a Blue Peter's badge; who remembers them???

We would also like to welcome Ella (daughter of Rivi, sister of Adam) who has come over to help Sally out on the promotions, but she has also been a bit of a SKIVVY (poor thing) to Adam doing odd jobs that he basically doesn't won't (have time) to do.


Concentrating very hard at cutting paper???!!
Thanks for your help Ella! x

Thursday 29th March

The three amigos in today, Karen, Susan and me, opps and not forgetting Adam but he's a boy so doesn't count!

How hot is it, well not very as I am still sitting in the office in a cardi whilst the others are sweating it out and arguing with me about having the fan on.  I think it's the Antarctic in me, I obviously got so cold when I was there and never adjusted, either that or I'm cold blooded which I don't like the sound of too much!

Anyway, moving on..........Paul Ghattack's pupils Nick Kempton and William Evans have passed their manual test - yippee!  Well done to both and happy driving, just in time for the summer.

On another note, not driving related topic we have decided to have a word of the day, yesterday's from Susan and an excellent one - oscillating.  Today's is lurgy and is in honour of Adam, our manager as he didn't know what it meant but then he is half foreign so we forgave him.

Please forward any words you think are worthy of 'word of the day' and we will post.

Well, that's about it folks, after eating 500 odd calories in the form of white chocolate buttons I am off home to have a Pimms (p.s not driving).

Have a wonderful, sunshine filled weekend! Walkers x
