Well, a big thank you for entering our Win A Week In Champagne competition and an awful lot of you there were too
To make sure that the draw was entirely fair and unbiased I decided to ask a complete stranger to pick a number which I could then match up to the corresponding entry.
So I went to my local branch of NatWest bank and asked a cashier called Lisa to do the honours. She was delighted to do so and her only problem was that she hadn’t heard about the competition in time to enter.
Anyway she chose entry No. 10
And The Winner is Louisa Bird who will be off to Champagne in the coming few weeks, along with the friends or family she wants to take along.
Congratulations to Louisa !!
What Next? All Is Not Lost…
We promised something special to everyone who entered but didn’t win the competition.
Well, we were so amazed with the number of people who entered the competition that we got to asking ourselves what we could do for all of you champagne lovers who are dying to visit Champagne but who didn’t win the free week, so here’s what we came up with.
We will offer a huge 50% reduction off our standard tariffs for anyone who books a week at our lovely home between now and the end of March 2010
To take advantage of this superb offer bookings must be made, and the deposit paid, before November 21st.
If this offer sounds too good to miss then all you need to do is reply to the e-mail and we’ll send you the tariffs and all the information you need.
Champagne is great at any time of year but remember if you go before Christmas you can stock up on all your champagne (and wine too) and have a lot of fun selecting it – much more fun and a lot more stylish than going to the supermarket!
Please contact us as quickly as you can. We’re expecting a lot of people to take us up on this offer so, to get the dates you want, contact us NOW
Questions, Questions, Questions….
I can’t thank you enough for all the super champagne challenges you sent in. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sorting through all of them and producing a user-friendly guide that will give you all the answers you are looking for. I’ll tell you more about it as soon as it’s ready.
In the meantime you can share all the secrets of champagne that I learned when I lived there, by grabbing a copy of my e-book “The Insider’s Guide to Champagne” for £19.97, less than the price of a good bottle of champagne, by going to www.madaboutbubbly.com
That’s all for now and we look forward to hearing from all of you who want to visit Champagne

While taking delivery of a Marks & Spencers online clothes shop, I was reminded how sometimes tiny little things can make you feel happy, grateful and wealthy. These are just a few of the things that have made me feel good this week.
- A pile of 10 x soft new M&S t-shirts to wear (piles of new socks are great too!)
- Being able to pay to book in immediately for emergency physio/acupuncture to relieve your cricked neck pain
- Wearing your favourite perfume all day, every day
- Getting a book recommendation from Michael at Triumphant Events, and buying that immediately, plus a Michael Masterson you want to read
- Buying a whole new set of GOLD and pearl beaded bed bed linen on a whim, plus a bedside table – room truly looking fit for a princess now! I know, I’m giving away my inner chav here but it was 15% off all bed linen at Dunelm Mills (love that place!).
On the speaking / live appearances front, Ambar Hamid’s Wealth Thing seminar was been moved to the weekend I’m in Paris with Sister Sarah, visiting Sister Heather who is rehearsing for Carmen at the Paris Opera House (Bastille) – she’s posting great “behind the scenes” pics from the set.
I got a Tweet from one of my Ecademy Blackstar maties to say his wife is on the same production and did I want to meet up for a coffee, as he’s out there on baby patrol? Twitter really is great!
It’s our Money Gym Let’s Talk Money day this weekend which is sold out and which I’m looking forward to a lot.
I’m having dinner with my old friends from Spain, Rona & Adrian, the night before the workshop. You may remember I talk about them in my book a lot, and we are swapping a three week stay in their beautiful house in Casares for a website to help them promote it for rental, now they are back in England.
You can see where me, Sarah & the kids are going to be spending August at http://www.HolidayRentalCasaresSpain.com. When I dreamed of becoming financially free, it was travel I wanted most a la Tim Ferris’s “4 Hour Work Week” and I’m doing a fair old job of it the next couple of months. Paris, Greece then Spain – lovely!
I’m still working on the website for Casares, but it’s coming along nicely. Wait till I add little videos of the place and surrounding areas – those bluey-green weeks won’t stay unbooked for long!
We have firmed up the dates for the September start of the next Silver Elite programme
The current pilot of the programme is getting rave reviews and if I just had a bit more time I could get them on the bloomin’ page! The main thrust seems to be that you can join Silver and get all the information, but in order to actually take action, you need to feel accountable and that only happens in a group or 1:2:1 coaching environment. If you like the sound of that for September, you can secure your place at a £500 discount if you are already a Silver member.
Our vision for The Money Gym has never been clearer and we are planning all sorts of exciting developments for 2010. For 2009, We are racing against time to get all our projects finished so that I can start on renewing my current book then writing the next one. It’s fun, it’s fast and it’s furious but the good news is, as ever, that we do the work once and the products are there for the foreseeable future.
It’s the main Beach Dreams weekend coming up, with two days of live bands, organic food, cider in the tent and lots of enjoyment all round. Phoebe has SOMEHOW talked me into letting her put up a 12-man tent in the garden and cramming a load of teenagers into it for the night. Well, I would rather they were here and safe, than hanging about the tent / beach on Saturday night. It does mean a bit of a dash from London after our workshop but hey, it’ll be a laugh!
In the meantime, I’m reading “How To Get Rich” by Felix Dennis and it’s jolly good! One of Britain’s wealthiest self made entrepreneurs, it’s described by the Independent On Sunday as “startlingly frank and very funny” and so it is.
Have fun, we always do (bad neck notwithstanding!)
Nicola
