understand the degree of misrepresentation taking place about the economy if we are to be able to plan for our futures.

It is doubtful things will begin to improve for some before 2020 and most will undergo enormous adjustments to lifestyle and expectations that will impact their whole life. I am of the opinion this was all entirely avoidable and I believe history will show that people with my view were correct to criticise what is happening. If we are to offer any hope to future generations we must learn to ask better questions and demand a better life for all.

Robocop This remake of the 1987 film of the same name has been a long time coming after a series of delays and change of writers and directors. As they plan to reboot the entire series of films, fans of the original won’t have to worry about a change in plot.

Set in the year 2028, multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the centre of all robot technology. Overseas, their robots have been used for years by foreign militaries, making the company billions. Now they want to bring their technology home and they see the perfect opportunity to test it out when a corruption fighting Detroit policeman Alex Murphy (The Killing's Joel Kinnaman) is

They envision a RoboCop in every city and thus more money for them and their shareholders. But what they fail to realise is that there is still a man inside the machine, pursuing justice.

On the outside it looks like it is more of a reboot than a remake, keeping the formula that proved popular in the 80’s classic.

The design of the RoboCop is the same, albeit slightly modernised and the famous one-liner ‘Dead or alive, you’re coming with me’.

‘Divorce doesn’t have to end up in a battle’ Divorce solicitors are often inundated in the early part of year with people who have decided that it is time to separate, but not everyone is looking for revenge.

Many people are simply looking to end an unhappy marriage with a fair separation, without acrimony and as stress free as possible, whereby they can both agree what will happen to the kids, the house and the money – without going to court, and remaining on speaking terms if possible! Is that too much to ask?

No it isn’t. Court is not the only route to getting a divorce and Graysons WE’s award winning family team can offer a range of alternatives that will suit anyone wanting to avoid the hostility and recriminations of the court room battle.

Collaborative law is an increasingly popular way to approach family disputes in the UK. The process involves a couple signing an agreement that commits them to resolving their issues without going to court at 4-way meetings, where the couple work as a team with their independently chosen and specially trained collaborative lawyers, constructively

focusing on issues that are most important to them – typically this is children and finances. The process is client-led and tailored to meet their specific requirements, and solutions can be far more creative than in the restraints of the court room. Generally, the divorcing couple will take the lead in the discussions and the solicitors are there to support them. Sandra Russell, family partner at Graysons WE, is a trained collaborative solicitor who is well known in the region for her success in helping couples end their relationship in this positive, forward focused, collaborative way.

Partner and head of the family department, Michelle Cooper, has a formidable reputation in the area, and further afield, for helping couples to settle their disputes via round table meetings, which, whilst similar to collaborative law, are not subject to the couple signing an agreement which prevents litigation.

In round table meetings, an agenda is set which can lead to a divorce agreement without the need to see a judge. These meetings tend to be led by the lawyers, are generally more positional, yet can be as formal or relaxed as each couple want.

If couples are committed to these non-litigious routes to resolving

family disputes, both can be less aggressive, less stressful, and often significantly cheaper than the more traditional contentious route, but the major benefit is on the family.

Working in this way can reduce anger and the loss of self-esteem, which often occurs when relationships break down, and help to keep a level of friendship and dignity that can only be good for the divorcing couple and their family.

So for those looking to continue their lives in control of their own, and their children’s, interests, whilst retaining some level of respect for their ex, Graysons WE can offer the most effective solution with its non-contentious routes to divorce.

For more information, please contact Graysons WE’s family department on 01246 511695, divorce-enquiries@graysons.co.uk www.graysons.co.uk. We are one of the largest family teams in the region, with a wide range of expertise in all areas of family law, and high rate of client satisfaction in non-contentious divorce.

Local Slimming Success Story For years I’d always been the chunky one, I felt very self conscious and had very low self esteem. I found that I ate food for and then consequently felt unhappy with myself for eating so much which lead me to eat even more. A very sad but common never ending vicious circle! Whenever I went out socialising I would be the one sat on the side watching, wishing I had the confidence to get up and join in.

On the beach during our family holidays I would just sit and watch my daughter playing in the sand and in the sea, I felt so angry with myself for not getting up and joining in, but I just felt so embarrassed about my body.

I yo-yo dieted for many years but never really stuck to anything, losing the odd pound here and then just end up giving up and bouncing back to old habits. A couple of my friends joined Slimming World and were losing weight quite easily and they suggested that I give it a try. I wasn’t sure at first because I thought it would just be another diet plan that I would end up not sticking too, but, in October 2009 I took the plunge and decided to join up. I followed the Extra Easy plan and really enjoyed it, losing 1 and 1/2 stone. After a few months I

thought I could do it myself and didn’t need to go to meetings anymore so I stopped going.

Unfortunately, I still hadn’t got the self motivation to keep focused so the weight went back on. Several months later I decided to have another go so I re-joined, but I still wasn’t in the right frame of mind and just played about at it, so again, I gave up! A year later, after another family holiday sat on the beach hiding I decided enough was enough!! I decided to take control of myself, found my motivation and vowed to myself that I would never give up again! So on my return from the holiday I re-joined Slimming World. I have now been a member since August 2011, losing an amazing 5 stone 8lbs and have been at target since June of this year. I follow the Extra Easy plan as it allows you to eat such a wide variety of foods, one of my favourite meals is chicken tikka masala and rice. I attend Mandy Tyson’s Thursday 5.30pm

group, at The Village Hall, Hillstown.

I always make sure I stay for the Image Therapy sessions, it helps to keep me motivated by listening to other members journeys. You find inspiration and a huge amount of encouragement.

We are all very supportive of each other - one big happy family!

Before I joined Slimming World and losing my weight, I found I didn’t have much energy, just walking up a slight incline left me breathless and walking just 10 minutes was more than enough. Now I can walk for miles and take on any hill or even mountain! Making the decision to walk back through Slimming Worlds doors has been the best thing I have ever done for myself, as they say 3rd time lucky!

Don’t give up and why not give Slimming World a go!!

Chesterfield Praised by Shadow Business Minister Chuka Umunna MP Invest in Chesterfield message taken to Westminster Chesterfield’s marketing campaign, Destination Chesterfield, has been highlighted by the Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna MP ‘as a good example of the public and private sector working together and taking responsibility to attract investment and promote their town.’

recently, Chesterfield was announced as the only town north of the Watford Gap to be in the top 10 of best performing centres with the least vacant shops.

Chesterfield is also home to one of the largest Regeneration and Renewal schemes, the 16 hectare £340 million Waterside development. It is ranked at number 47 in the top 100 list of the UK's largest regeneration projects and is already being hailed as an exciting example of best practice regeneration, taking a largely vacant area centre and creating a vibrant new environment of buildings and open spaces. Work on the site commences in early 2014.

The praise came at an exclusive Invest in Chesterfield event which was hosted by Chesterfield MP Toby Perkins in Westminster recently. The event, which was organised by Destination Chesterfield, was designed to showcase the town to potential investors and property developers, highlighting the town’s Toby added: “Our event in opportunities and future growth Parliament was a great success and potential. showcased these opportunities to business leaders from across the Toby Perkins MP commented: UK. Crucially, it also demonstrates “Chesterfield is a fantastic the political support for Destination destination for business Chesterfield, with other local MPs, investment. Our town centre in the Council and Shadow Business particular has so much to offer Secretary Chuka Umunna, all in businesses. Retail occupancy has attendance to support the event.” actually risen during the recession and has one of the lowest vacancy Funding for Destination Chesterfield rates in the country. This is supported both by large high street has been secured from the European Regional Development names like Debenhams, TK Maxx Fund (ERDF), Chesterfield Borough and Hobby Craft, but also be a thriving traditional market square – Council and the local business community until December 2015, one of the largest in the country – ensuring the marketing campaign’s and an historic Market Hall which on-going success. has just received a £4million refurbishment.”

New Year, New Start?

Or perhaps a new business?

Resolutions to diet, get fit or drink less are regular favourites at this time of year. For some, though, the plans may be a bit more ambitious – perhaps it’s time to start a new business. People often dream about working for themselves and, whether they are in a job, not working at present, or just ambitious to achieve more, at some point they may decide “Now is the time to go for it!”.

Questions and concerns can hold people back. Questions like “What do I need to do, legally, to start a business?”, “Is my idea good enough to make money?”, “How do I keep accounts and handle tax?” and “What are the risks?” need considering. Some people are put off by worries about tax, bookkeeping, laws and regulations. In reality, though, for most types of business, these matters are straight forward and easily handled. The real challenge for any new business is in looking at customers, sales, costs and profit.

A discussion with a business coach can help to focus on the key issues. One of the first things I do with anyone who comes for advice on a new business idea is to sketch out a rough plan of how much money the business could make. To do that we need to know what products or services the business is

going to sell, and how much would be charged for each. We then need to take a view on how many sales they would expect to make each day, week or month. That can be quite hard to do and sometimes it helps to look at different scenarios: what we reasonably think would be achievable, versus what we think the absolute worst case might be. Then we need to look at the costs of running the business, how much would be spent on buying in supplies, on paying for overheads, on marketing the business – and how much that leaves at the end for the business owner to live off.

Some types of business are cheaper to set up and run than others. If you need premises from which to run the business, if you need to employ staff, or if you have to spend a lot on stock, you will have to generate a lot more income to break even than someone without those costs. A domestic cleaner, or a gardener for example will have lower running costs and most of what they earn as income will stick with them as profit.

For every new business, though, the key is in understanding the potential market. Who might my customers be, how will I make them aware of what I have to offer, and how will I persuade them to buy from me? New businesses do not

need to be complex or innovative to succeed, but they do need to be carefully planned and well executed.

If you have an idea that you want to talk through, give me a call.
