Lay My Hat

C'mon guys- really this is a first time poster who posts their comments totally within the boundaries set. There was no personal attack just an opinion....rein in the aggression! On the subject we all should know our baseline costs per week-its not difficult- and charge accordingly. Personally I've ...

Thanks Helen- I am determined this time though not to get sucked in! Its so addictive this forum and full of lovely interesting people that I was very guilty of drifting from adding value and getting involved in discussions that I really had no place to be in (my opinion!) So complete added value fr...

I have been absent for a long time and thought firstly of doing a PM however I think that maybe it is benefical to post. I opted out for a while incidently because I felt there were just too many playground bullies and I just was not enjoying contributing! Anyway as to this posting I feel that I am ...

Sorry another remark re euro to £ - are you stupid! Guests will book at 1.73 (2000) and even 1.4(2005) will they book at 1 for 1 NO!!!

I'm back cos I cannot believe what I am hearin- just came in from the hot tub covered in snow to remarks that the equalilty to the £ to the euro doesn't matter- hello planet earth!! not only are your bookings quite rightly going to be affected by the demise of the low cost european airline(s), the £...

TP - photos with date stamps don't work- you can set digital cameras to whatever date you want(as I was told by my recent guests from hell!). I would go for the highest deposit possible(total about turn caused by recent guests) £500 is not too much with a property like Beanies- the more the better I...

Very good indeed Party, never heard of it but how lovely!

Beanie, lovely chalet and very clever website! Its my guess that your guests will not accept that they left the chalet in an unacceptable way. Write them a letter identifying all the shortfalls with receipts for the extra work if possible and a cheque with whatever is left of their deposit - conside...

I did at the time understand my accountants reasoning- and suppose still do- even though I don't like it! Drive is ours and we use it everyday (when the helicopter is out of commission anyway :wink: ) and we did improve it a tad when we redid it- rolls royce style gravel!- and therefore its an enhan...

Yes he is charted and yes I have legal cover but to be honest this has got me thinking about all sorts of other areas that he said were not allowable which amount to serious money and not just a couple of thousand. - one example we had to resurface our drive and car parking area just because of the ...

OK I'm lost John - thought it was Bury St Edmund but its not really a village and doesn't rhyme with Oxen.

Another clue please....and good luck!

I really like it, presumably you may get a lot of Singaporeans and the sq ft details, air con pictures etc will be important to them. The only point that I would make is that it does look a bit unfinished with no bedside tables,lamps or bedding but Fab views of the towers. I was surprised to see you...

Mmmm(mouth stuffed with hat!)

A partial victory...accountant agrees that "some" set up costs could be allowed but its 3 years ago and although possible in theory to change returns not really worth it in his opinion! Should have found this site 3 years ago...

My accountant and I are having words tommorrow - and yes I had to copy my first rental agreement to him and nothing was allowed before that! Tax rebate here we come! And to think I always trusted accountants to know best!

Assuming the property was available for occupation in Jan, then you have something to sell from Jan. Yes of course when the property is ready your business can have deemed to have began what I was disputing was the advertising date as the date of business commencement as you can advertise obviously...
