    Very interesting so far :)

    He's prompting them with some very good ideas to increase their income.

    It's a case of identifying your individual abilities/skills and maximising an opportunity of a main/additional income from it, whether it's using the basic skill as is or perhaps increasing it as necessary (and possible) :)

    It's a different situation for everyone.

    I thought it was a great programme. I've taken some ideas from it and will be trying them out asap. I know that it's simple to think about after the fact but smoking...you don't think that every time you buy a pack of 20 that's costing you a fiver. Perhaps two packets a week £10. A month is £40. Over the year that's £480. Think about that....
