Lay My Hat

saves cleaning the house...

Guys... thank you all - a chum called round the other evening... wanted to have a pee... so when we said no - upstairs or hedge he said leave it with me... and fixed it - the 'relief' :lol: :lol: Seriously we have it all tiled in and looks the part - I'd never do it like this for a rental... lesson ...

Just had some Russian Beer... 1st for us

Thank you all... it's really hard now as we are waiting for the man to come and pick her up - maybe Monday...

It's certainly brought it home to me for folk that have lost a horse or donkey etc. at least Clochette can be picked up and be put in the lorry when it comes.

We had a house sitter while we popped to UK - when we came back one of the goats seemed a bit lifeless - I just put it down to her being 'fed up' as he had given them 3 times their portions of mele... last night she was very miserable so I walked her round the field a few times and kept trying to he...

Oh for the old days....

thank you all - not only is the loo up the spout... the internet connection keeps dropping!

It looks like a terminal case of flush fatigue... hopefully the plumber coming on Monday can do the deed...

Mols how right you are don't hide your gubbins!!!

Broken loo... this time thankfully at home! For you clever people that manage to repair loo's... we have a wall mounted that the inner gubbins have disengaged so doesn't flush... can't buy parts off the shelf (5 week wait if you order... doesn't bear thinking about... bit more than crossing your leg...

Yes ,martinique is still French & € . Very Happy There is no currency issues. But if you are coming from the States or UK there are currency changes... the Caribbean is US/UK/Europe orientated ... the Dutch Islands which I would think have € too... Not everyone wants to change flights... we wen...

Near Upminster ... no it was really very nice hotel Le Rougemont Manor I think it was ... swimming pool, gym all the works - all the la di dah decorations ... I just giggled when we got into our room with everything all laid out, towels folded etc and then the loo seat looked like one of ours after ...

Just got back from a visit to UK - this time round didn't stay with friends or relatives - checked into hotels... oh boy do I feel reassured that 1, we are offering exceptional value & 2, we are hitting high standards! We stayed in all sorts to include a 4 star inside the M25 in Essex... very ni...

Isn't Martinque still French & € ?

We are thinking that if we go on a Caribbean holiday this year we would do a French Island so no currency issues?

You have to look at all the links re flights etc. what attracts who.

I've done mine... only one problem is I don't fully understand the Americanisms for all the URL links... I can't get the Homeaway holiday rentals one to work.... I know I'm a duffer but which part am I meant to copy & past?

I'm reluctant as it didn't make that much for us... even with the WW2 history here - I'm not sure with € so strong - I think I'd rather concentrate on more continental markets i.e. in the € zone... they don't seem to have any other suggestions though!

MG - I lay in my superking last night giggling at the thought of everyone lying across the bed... then I measured we are 6'6" wide and 7' long ... I'm thinking of stringing a basket ball goal between the posts :wink: Seriously I haven't found bedding a problem at all... but I do keep teh holida...
