Right now Im having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.

7 simple steps to take

control of your money

Financial column with Simon utton, rom the Hadlow Edwards Partnership

Now is the time t take cntrl f

yur mney (instead f letting itcntrl yu),

Heres a summary to help you improve your personalnances.1. rack every penny you spend. Tis is the best way

to become conscious o how money actually comes andgoes in your lie as opposed to how you think it does. Tisstep makes the biggest impact. It doesnt matter how youtrack your spending. Te most important thing is to doit. Whichever method you choose, stick with it. Make it ahabit. Dont udge the numbers.2. Develop a budget. Ater youve tracked your spendingor a ew weeks, use the data to develop a budget. Budget-ing is one thing that sets the wealthy apart rom the rest ous 55% o millionaires keep a budget.*Tis provides aroadmap or your money.3. Start an emergency und / get out o debtFor years too many o us have spent everything weve

earned. Tis works OK until something goes wrong andsomething always goes wrong whether its the car or the

washing machine. ypically weve nanced such emergen-cies with credit cards. So open a savings account and add20 - 50 to your account every time you get paid. Ateryouve saved 1000, then you can attack your debt.I you are struggling under a heavy debt make it a priority

to repay this burden. It eels antastic to have that weight ofyour shoulders. I you have the mental discipline, youll savemoney by paying down your high-interest debt rst.4. Spend less than you earn. I youve started on step 3

then your on the way to achieving this goal. Tis is the un-damental money skill. Its common sense, yet many people

never learn do it. Only by spending less than you earn canyou hope to build wealthEven i you do nothing else in this list, spending less than

you earn can put you ahead o your peers.5. Start planning or the uture. Tis is your chance to

dream a little. Tink what youd really like to achieve,abulous holiday, more hobbies etc. Use your new oundnancial discipline to start unding or a better uture. ake

advantage o tax ree savings and investments and put somemoney away or the medium term. Money makes money.6. Seek the help o a nancial planner. Knowledge is

power. Personal nance doesnt have to be a mystery butsupport rom an Adviser can help you achieve more arquicker. Tey can help you structure your nances or yourneeds, get a better balance and save you money. Being incontrol and having someone guide you has to be the bestcombination to nancial wealth and health.7. Final words. aking control o your nances can be

intimidating but it doesnt have to be that way. Designate

one specic date as your personal money day. Use this timeto get the basics right and review it with your adviser. Youllnot only save money but youll save masses o time and

worry.Best wishes or a more prosperous worry ree uture!I you dont have an ongoing relationship with a nancial

adviser then now is the time to start building that relation-ship. Why not spend an hour with us (at no cost or obliga-tion). We would be delighted to hear rom you.

Many of ou m hve see recet egtive publicit surroudig ver smll umber

of veterir prctices i the UK. While this will turll rise cocers d questios

for the cliets of those fetured, these prctices re i ti miorit.

Nevertheless, at Churchview we recognise that our own clients may want reassurance about

the topics highlighted and we welcome the opportunity to discuss any questions that you may

have at any time.One of the key issues raised regularly within the veterinary industry is the potential exploita-

tion of insured patients. In the current economic climate where money is tight, it has never been

more important to consider the benets of pet insurance particularly as with todays advances in

veterinary medicine, we as vets can often do more for your pet than ever before.

Sometimes, however this can be expensive, particularly if your pet requires long term, or spe-

cialist treatment. Unfortunately, some veterinary practices may have seen this as an opportunity

to over treat animals, sometimes running expensive diagnostic tests just because an animal

is insured. We would like to reassure you that at Churchview vets, we offer the same options of

tests/treatments for all of our clients, regardless of whether they are insured or not.

Diagnostic testing is an area fraught with difculties in decision making. Not least because often

the only way to nd out the value of a test is to carry it out. Of course if

we knew the result in advance there would be no point in doing the test!

So, naturally, clients who are insured have more nancial freedom to

pursue further investigations, however we would never knowingly carry

out any unnecessary treatment or tests and always involve our clients in the decision making process.

Our vets will always discuss the options with you so that you are fully aware of the possible lines of treatment and costs

so that you can make a considered decision, based on your own nancial constraints.

Another area of concern raised through the media is that of untrained staff carrying out procedures on animals. This will

naturally cause alarm bells to ring with clients and again at Churchview we can reassure you that we pride ourselves on

our well trained and experienced veterinary and nursing teams.

As in every area of health care, both human and veterinary, we are governed very strictly to ensure that our staff are only

carrying out tasks which they are trained and competent in. While our Veterinary Nurses are legally allowed to carry out a

small number of surgical procedures, all of our surgery at Churchview is only carried out by fully trained & qualied vets.Nurses will naturally play an active role in the care of your pet while it is under our care and you can feel assured that they

are experienced and competent in all pre and post surgical procedures and carry these out on a daily basis.

At Churchview, we aim to exceed our customers expectations and this is often substantiated

by the number of thank you cards and letters that we receive. I hope that this has put your mind

at rest, however if you do have any questions or concerns, please let us know, so that we can

address them for you. At Churchview Vets, we have an open door policy and are happy for

clients to ask any questions that they may have.

Mostyn House School 1854 - 2010

Following closure of Mostyn House School at the end of the 2009/10academic year the Grenfell family has appointed RPS Planning toassist in discussions with the local planning authority regarding thefuture of the School site.

The family is keenly aware of the sensitivities arising from the conser-vation area location and the historic character of the buildings. They

want to identify a viable, long-term solution that recognises these im-portant characteristics and contributes positively to the character andappeal of Parkgate.

Alongside the advice of the Council the views and opinions of the lo-cal community will form an important part of this process. The firstpublic consultation event in relation to this will take place in theschool in early September; details will be announced during August.

Prior to this, comments may be posted to Mostyn House, Parkgate,Neston, CH64 6SG or e-mailed to [email protected].
