Default I need my carbs balanced...

My friends been saying he'll balance the carbs on the sv for ages, and he's still not done it and i'm now at the point i am fed up and just want it done. He was meant to be doing it for me as i am currently unemployed and can't really afford it but.

So, anyway, can someone recommend me where to go to get it done, either colchester or billericay. (and how much is it going to cost me?)

Thankyou

I've no idea where you could get it done around there, but fancy a trip down London way and I'll lend you the kit to do it yourself.

Cheers Mark.

not required, I don't do the work anymore, but have done many hundreds of times, so you won't screw anything up.
