Thankyou Frenchlady. I am one of the WASPI's too, so was expecting to be retired now :( and my body is still signaling the need for a break. I will still be working online. I only accepted this one booking for 2018, but the time it has freed up already has been wonderful and the income after all the...

I have my very last guests here at the moment and I'm giving up chambres d'hôtes. It has been fun, but time to move on.

I am fussy about ironing but did find it exhausting at busy times. Then I discovered an ESAT blanchisserie not too far away. The quality is superb and very cheap. A quick search shows a couple in the Dordogne. I suppose it depends on whether the quality is the same as here and how far away they are ...

Very quickly on my searches I want to know if you are in the right area, whether your property is suitable for me and how much it will co...

I showed it to my husband and we've decided that if we won the lottery we would buy it in a heartbeat.

I'm amazed that there has been so little interest.

Who will be letting them into the cottage? I would make it very clear that if they turn up with the dog they won't be given the keys. I hate that kind of emotional blackmail, I can ignore your rules but you have to be nice to me because it is Christmas.

The course is a requirement for everyone who wants to start a small business. It is being challenged because it deters people from setting up small businesses. I haven't done it (it wasn't necessary when I registered) but have heard many people complain that most of the content was irrelevant.

Website has been pirated, help!

It isn't my website. I've been on holiday and ate at a great little restaurant that also lets rooms. When I asked them about it they said "please don't go to our website, it has been pirated and we don't know how to get it back". I had a look when I got home and I got a malware warning. Th...

Going back to the original post, if you use quality toilet rolls, they are thicker and have more sheets unlike the cheaper ones where the rolls seem to be loosely wound and contain very little paper, so the number you use is definitely relative to that. When I saw the title of this post I assumed th...

It also tells you how to declare your income from them, if you fit that criteria. http://www.creagite.fr/guide-du-createur/status-pour-tenir-un-etablissement However as you are already in the clutch...
