I felt like using sign language when A-M told me we couldn't get the decorator in.

What sort of training do you need to be a hypnotherapist? this is something I would be interested in doing.
Good luck too you both for the future

I'm not sure if I am allowed to mention my husband's website address so would suggest that instead you do a search for NLP in Coventry which will bring up Local results. We are based in Eastern Green.0

Thanks for the link. Some of the comments on there were interesting - especially the person who reckoned that it wasn't worth paying off your mortgage early because of inflation! :wall:

Very entertaining programme. We hope to get our mortgage paid by Sept 2008, so hoping the series will provide lots of inspiration. Wouldn't be brave enough to appear on TV though.
Good on you Sean and Anne-Marie, and wishing you lots of luck.0 -

Blimey, thanks for pointing that out, some of the comments on there are scary...........
"There is a very good argument to say DO NOT PAY OFF THE MORTGAGE anyway - (time value of money) In other words with sensible interest rates and regular reviews of deals paying off the mortgage is uneconomic.
If it is assumed that there is an inflation rate of 2.5% for 25 years then the £85,000 would be only around £46,000, add that to the time valued interest payments you are going to be well up on the deal. Do the mathemathics!"
Does anyone have ANY idea what he is going on about?????0 -
Well, if one didn't pay any interest on a mortgage then he'd be correct because each unit of money will be worth less in the future. However, since no mortgage rate is below inflation then the interest payments outweight any inflation effect.Happy chappy0

Maybe he should stick to critical analysis of Big Brother? :T0 -
Anne Marie and Sean,
I just wanted to say I admire you for having the courage to go on the programme, you seem like a very enterprising couple willing to give anything a try and maximise your talents.
Anne Marie- well done you girl, I also run a slimming group with a well-known company (not yours though) and one of the things I disagreed with the presenter on was that you should leave the company and set up your own group. With weight-loss clubs there are a number of very well established clubs with strong brands and I really can't see that many more would fit in the market. It was all well and good for him to say you could almost double your profits if you went alone, but what's to say customers would prefer the diet plan you come up with etc? And there's a lot of value in an established brand. Are you still with Weightcare?
Best of luck to you both,
SarahYesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams0
