With the predictable absence of guidance from the government, what is your understanding of the latest restrictions?

We have guests in this week, but presumably we have to ask them to leave by Wednesday?

Has anyone seen any official guidance for England yet? https://www.gov.uk/guidance/covid-19-advice-for-accommodation-providers Hasn't been updated since 5th June, and so relates to only accommodating key workers, not protocols on re-opening. We're also adopting the policy of keeping a week empty bet...

Hi Dotty,
This looks like the same thing, but with the Euro plug:

May be cheaper elsewhere, but it looks as though they do exist...

A bit of a thread resurrection! I've had the same problem with the safe-t-lights, and have now found the ones linked to on eBay, in Robert Dyas for £9.99. http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/pifco-led-pir-light-rd57 For those with safe-t-lights, they differ in the following ways: Good: There are no 'fins' o...

Blimey! I use TMC (Tax Management for Clergy) - and no I'm not a vicar... They charge a fixed price (was £138 in the first year for tax returns for my wife and I), then £164 for subsequent years.

Funny old year here too. Not much at the start of Jan, then several at the end of January and February (I'm guessing just after pay day each month).
Then only one booking in April up until yesterday, followed by four in one day yesterday, one for 2014.

Thanks for that - today's You & Yours. In summary, an owner's listing on OD was phished, fraudsters modified the email address, and started handling the rental enquiries and taking payments. The renter lost over £8,000. They had been mailed by OD as soon as the scam was uncovered (prior to payin...
