Lay My Hat

Hahahahahaha. That's weird - I asked for updates on certain subjects and of course they're not time limited. My piece of idiocy.

Then your original question puzzles me a little. What were you hoping to find out?

It works for us, massively, but we have 12 properties and pay £4,500ish per year.

Hi Brokenbane, Our 3 bed sleeps up to 7 as we have a pull out full size trundle bed, that does push the cost up a little as there is setup time and more bedding. I think our cleaners work pretty hard for the money. The cost of living in the west country is probably a lot less than the Cotswolds. Ye...

I've just taken a look at the 2 bed property. You do have a lot out on display that would need to be dusted (possibly even using a ladder). So your costs, plus the fact that you advertise as "luxury" should be higher that some. However, 10.5 hours is more than a standard working day. Are ...

No garden. And yes, I will be popping in now. %?*^&**!!!!

Just to clarify, does your 3 bedroom sleep 6?

Our cleaners are taking 10.5 hours for 3 double bedrooms!

Oh my God!

Does that include changing beds? How much furniture and knick-knacks do you have?

So when you say it's sometimes 1 person, sometimes 3, does that mean that 1 person works for 3 times the hours? How many hours total then for both cottages?

Are those costs ex VAT or including VAT?

2-3 hours 1 person? How many bedrooms would that be?

We have a feeling we may be paying too much for this. Can anyone give us an idea of what a 'normal' hourly wage should be?

And roughly what percentage of gross revenue should we normally expect to be spending on cleaning and laundry annually?

Not if they only bought a majority stake in answer to your first point, and as regards your second, if they judged it in their commercial interests to keep it quiet they could with such a small purchase. They couldn't keep it quiet for very long. The company only has 2 shares, so to get a majority ...

Now it may be that their hands are tied (or rather their mouths gagged) by their new owners, but that hardly begets confidence either... They can't legally do that if the deal's gone through and they'd be no point. Purchasers will want their investors to know if they've bought another company as pr...
