CAN YOU REALLY AFFORD NOT TO HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER?

“ Just want to thank you

again for everything you

did. You were amazing and completely took the stress

“

out of the day for us...

Nick and Sara, London

After a steady decline in the number of UK marriages over the past forty years it appears that weddings are on the up again. Brides are getting married later with the average bride now in her 30’s. So how many UK brides choose to hire a Wedding Planner? Experts have estimated that over 23,000 UK brides would consider hiring a wedding planner and 70% of those who didn’t wished that they had. Even scarier, the majority of couples getting married in the last couple of years actually overspent. Who wants to start out in married life with debt hanging over them?

So can you really afford not to hire a Wedding Planner?

WEWP Make-up A5 Card.pdf

There is an illusion that wedding planners are expensive and they’re only used by the rich and famous. This is simply not the case. Wedding planners can save you valuable time and money with their expert knowledge, priceless advice and preferential supplier rates. It’s our job to make sure you get the best possible wedding from your set budget and that you never overspend.

For most couples, your wedding day is one of the most important and largest events in your life. It takes many hours to plan, between 250 and 300 hours, with the last 8 weeks taking up the most time. Planning your wedding should be a fun and enjoyable process, don’t let it take over your life. Your wedding planner is not only there to assist you with the obvious, ‘the planning’, but she’s also there to remove the stress, guide you in the right direction, bring back the fun and excitement as well as being there on your actual wedding day. Did you know only 1 in 5 wedding dresses actually get to the ceremony undamaged? You’ll be glad of our emergency wedding kit if that happens to you. Who’s going to fix your hair after the hairdresser has left?

The list is endless.

To save time, money and stress over your wedding, talk to Warwickshire Wedding Planner today.

EVER THOUGHT OF HAVING

A CONSERVATORY? Extend your Summer with an ‘outdoor’ room...

Versatile and affordable, conservatories are an excellent choice for homeowners requiring more space, or wanting to extend the garden into their home. They give a light an airy room to the house, which allows the sense of being in the garden - shielding us from the elements, and ‘extending’ the summer months. Perfect for sun rooms, but equally useful as a dining room, breakfast room, family den, study or even kitchen. One of the real advantages of conservatories over any other type of extension, is that they let in the light and warmth from the garden whilst at the same time providing shelter from the elements.

For most, they have become a desirable part of modern-day living. In fact, over a quarter of a million were built in 2006.

For many people they are an affordable, ideal way of acquiring more living space without having to move house.

In many instances planning permission is not needed and, provided they are well-built, they are almost guaranteed to add value to your property.

Conservatories have traditionally been built on the back of properties, leading out to the garden, although it is

possible to have them on the side or even the front. Since they are designed to feel part of the garden they are almost exclusively built on ground floor level, although there is no real reason (apart from planning implications) why they cannot be built on an upper level, depending on the design of your house.

Different aspects bring with them different advantages and disadvantages, and careful consideration should be given to the direction of your proposed conservatory at the planning stage.

East-facing - This will get the sun in the morning so is ideal for a breakfast room. It will not overheat in the middle of the day or evening.

West-facing - This will get the sun from late afternoon onwards and provides good conditions for many plants.

North-facing - This will get angled sun at the start and end of the day and, although it will not overheat in the summer, it could be bitterly cold in the winter. Unless you are using the conservatory solely as a summer sun-room, give careful consideration to how you are going to heat it.

South-facing - This is excellent for catching the sun but will be unbearably hot in the summer with the sun overhead at the hottest time of the day. Give careful thought to ventilation and blinds.

ACUPUNCTURE & PAIN Pain is the body’s way of telling us something is wrong, therefore just treating the pain without dealing with the underlying cause would be irresponsible. However, there are often cases where the cause is being, or already has been, dealt with (the fire is out but the alarm is still going off!). In such cases it is appropriate to alleviate the pain as much as possible.

Acupuncture is a proven method for delivering drug-free pain control (either alongside conventional treatment or as a remedy in its own right). NICE – the National Institute for Clinical Excellence – recommends that acupuncture be made available on the NHS for chronic lower back pain, due to evidence-based research demonstrating that acupuncture is one of the most effective therapies for back pain.

Whilst lower back pain is arguably the most common form of pain acupuncturists are

approached to deal with, we are asked to help people with a whole range of types of

pain.

Here’s a cross-section of what I’ve helped with over the last few months:

• Lower back pain with chronic muscle spasm (caused by incorrect workplace sitting posture, lifting

• Neck pain – again workstation posture was to blame.

• Knee pain – osteoarthritis (acupuncture can’t fix that but it can reduce the pain).

• Wrist pain – post-trauma recovery after skate-boarding accident.

• Sciatic pain

• Migraine – patient was taking prescription drugs to control them, but become pregnant so could no

young children out of the car, horse riding accident - not all the same person I might add!).

longer take them.

• Neuritis following a bout of herpes zoster.

The list goes on, but I hope this gives you an idea of what acupuncture can do to help those in pain. As a colleague of mine says “suffering is optional” – so your choice, make the call and see if acupuncture can help you.

The Healing Works ACUPUNCTURE is a healing system that treats the whole person, body and mind, not just your symptoms.

Acupuncture works; it has been researched, developed and refined over centuries and is used as a primary health care system in the East.

It is used to safely treat a wide range of common health problems, both physical and emotional, and, due to its success, has steadily been gaining acceptance and recognition in the West.

To see how acupuncture can help you, feel free to call me or e-mail, there’s no obligation.

“FOREX” THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET FOREX put simply is the mechanism by which exchange rates between different currencies is determined. Trading this market has traditionally been the forte of large institutions and banks. However, the emergence of fast and reliable internet connections has brought this market to the small private investor, giving the possibilities of massive gains. If managed correctly, this can be a highly profitable and tax free form of investment.

Access to this market is through a free proprietary software solution (called “Meta Trader 4”) offered by most brokers, or by an online internet based solution which varies between brokers. Accounts are easily opened and funded, with all UK brokers managed by the FSA. In it’s simplest form, a trade can be placed based on whether you think the exchange rate price for a certain currency (Great British Pound vs United States Dollar for example) will rise or fall. If the price rises or falls in line with your prediction, you can close the trade for a profit. In the tax-free form of trading, no actual currency is exchanged for your trade, with the broker hedging or offsetting your trade with other traders. Money

can be made on both rising and falling markets, and there are over 100 different exchange rates which can be traded, in addition to countless other markets like the FTSE100, German DAX, Gold price, etc..

Countless “Get Rich Quick” automated and semi-automated systems are available to purchase for trading the forex markets, virtually all of which however are not worth the paper they are written on. However, with adequate training, this market can prove to be one of the most exciting and fast paced markets available to trade. Trading can be carried out 24 hours per day, 5 days per week. It can provide a good additional income, a good alternative to bank savings accounts or even for some experienced trades - A main income!

The FOREX market dwarfs other markets, trading over US$4 trillion per day (which is 50 times the turnover of the New York Stock Exchange).

Introduce yourself to FOREX today with FOREX Capital, Training, Seminars and systems development.

LEARN CURRENCY TRADING FROM SCRATCH We will teach you how, on a one-to-one basis, so that you really know what you are doing

Simple Guide

TO CAR INSURANCE AND YOUNG AND LEARNER DRIVER SCHEMES If you wish a learner driver to drive your car you must advise your insurer immediately even if you have an ‘any driver’ policy.

Many insurers will not insure learner drivers and some are not keen when a young driver has actually passed their test! This could mean you have to cancel your existing policy and take out a new one with another insurer, generally at great cost to you!

Reynolds Insurance Services are pleased to offer a new scheme for learner drivers which allows your existing policy to remain in force and unaffected whilst your son or daughter learns to drive and practice in your car. We are able to offer a short period policy on a monthly basis from under £90 per month in the learner driver’s name insuring your car comprehensively. This covers any car valued at under £20,000 wwith an Insurance Rating of 16 or less on the old scale or 42 or less on the new scale. If there is a claim while the learner driver is in charge of your car this does not affect your No Claims Discount/Bonus.

Young drivers unfortunately have to pay a substantial amount for their car insurance but there are always schemes available which help in trying to reduce these costs such as black box technology which monitors the driving of the young driver and determines the risk profile of the driver.

You may well think that all car insurances are the same but you would be wrong.

It is becoming increasingly more difficult to compare like for like quotations and policies from the many different insurance companies in the market. Whether you use the internet, telephone or a broker many companies differ with the amount of excess they apply in the event of a claim, whether they automatically provide a courtesy car in the event of a claim, possible restrictions on travelling abroad and the service they provide, this last point is very important if you have a problem to discuss or needing help with a claim or making changes to your policy.

A local broker is best placed to provide a local service both by phone and in person whilst remaining competitive.

To keep costs down some insurance companies may quote you with a high excess in the event of a claim which could easily be missed as many people are drawn initially to the premium only.

The excess is the amount you have to pay in the event of a claim and the insurance company is responsible for the balance of the costs. Most companies will have an automatic compulsory excess and you can reduce your premium further by increasing this with a voluntary excess.

No Claims Discount/Bonus is a reward for not claiming during your policy year.

In addition if you have claimed and your insurance company were then able to reclaim their costs from the other party you are usually able to get your excess refunded in this instance also. If you are unfortunate to be the victim of an uninsured driver you will usually lose some of your discount despite the fact

it was not your fault! Sometimes if there is a disagreement between the drivers involved in an accident you will lose some of your discount if your insurance company can not obtain agreement with the other party. Many insurance companies offer an initial no claims discount/bonus and once you have obtained the maximum discount/bonus you should consider protecting this. In the event of a claim where your insurance company hasn’t been able to reclaim the costs, protected bonus means you retain your entire bonus subject to the number of claims in a specified period.

If your car insurance policy includes cover for you driving any other cars please note that regardless of the type of cover you have on your own policy this is usually restricted to 3rd party cover only whilst driving someone else’s car. The other person’s car that you are driving must always be insured!

Please also note that it is very important to confirm to your broker or insurer how you use your car – meaning is it used only for personal use and travelling to and from a permanent place of work or will it be used for business or will it be used sometimes to go to a meeting or another location of work? It is easier for a broker to explain the correct level of cover you require after asking questions which could save many thousands of pounds if you otherwise could have had a policy made void due to incorrect information supplied to the insurer.
