If you're interested in this but find it a bit pricey (it's £80)  I signed up to their mailing list in anticipation and they've offered three separate 30% discount vouchers (roughly once per month). As far as I can tell the voucher applies to any course - though, as it happened, the moore one wasn't available when the discounts applied.

Really good description! My wife is doing this and it's brilliant.
I really hope it's filmed in his actial house rather than a studio.

If, like me, you've been 'umming' and 'ahhing' for a while over this, the time may have come to pull the trigger, as there's 40% off for Black Friday. You've got until the 28th.
