Patsy Cline - Patsy Cline

Advantages: Interesting in places, informative, an easy read
Disadvantages: Some bits are dull and repetitive

...I love reading autobiographies and was interested in discovering more about Patsy Palmer, so I borrowed All of Me from the library. Patsy is most known for her role as Bianca in EastEnders - you remember, the one with really long red hair who was married to Ricky? Yes, that's the one. The book is 310 pages long and tells Patsy's story from childhood through to the end of 2006. She is now thirty-five years old, married with three children. Her daughter shares the same name as one of my daughters - Emilia - which is one reason I am interested in her. She is also close to my age. Patsy Palmer isn't my favourite actress by any means, but I enjoyed her role in EastEnders and liked what I saw of her in the recent programmes of The Verdict, where she was a juror in a close-to-reality court case. I read the book in just a few days, as... Read review

Advantages: It works. It was fun to follow along with the two presenters and the rountine's weren't simple.
Disadvantages: It can get boring if you are doing it regualrly.

...Patsy Palmer was an inspiration for me. A mother of 3 and now 37 she has a lovely little figure. I'm sure it's not just the Ibiza workout but her personality makes the workout fun. I was never a fan of Eastenders but desperate to loose weight I wanted to try something. Her amusing side kick, Louie Spencer brings a whole new idea to exercise. He has worked with the spice girls and together with Patsy they have 5 fat burning routines plus a chillout session, lasting 45 minutes. I found the dance routines relatively simple and they are explained very well with easy to follow instructions. The odd tip like "pick up your shopping bags" and "reach for the Gucci shoes" bought several smiles to my face when I really needed them. I did the DVD every twice a week and felt great after each time. I felt like I had completed a good work out but it... Read review

Advantages: A good laugh, good exercise, no perfect models.
Disadvantages: Some tricky moves.

...I bought Patsy Palmer's club workout for the bargain price of £10 from Woolworths. What possessed me? Well, the only other exercise video I have done was one of Cindy Crawfords. Maybe it's just me, but it's not my idea of fun to be sweating in my front room whilst watching perfect Cindy looking gorgeous, never faltering, located on a beach, or at the foot of a mountain. Oi, Cindy, nooooooo! How inadequate do you want to make us feel? Some people may say that looking at the beautiful ones inspires us, but it makes me want to give up and not waste my time trying! Anyway, onto Patsy. I've always found her down to earth (she married a taxi driver, not a film star) and a good actress (Rickeeeeee!!!!!). The video promised me a routine that's "a real laugh to do", and "real chart music". Sounds good. I love clubbing, dancing and chart... Read review
