    Or just somewhere for Mr Hypno to sleep when he snores :confused:

    In fact, that could be a perfect solution - Mr Hyp in one annexe, kids in one of others......and the ironing pile in the third.

    ......and just me and my laptop in the big house :D

    that house looks fab - liked last weeks too but I think the holiday let thing would be right up your street!

    Well done on the council tax rebanding - I looked into it a while ago but because there had been an extension done on the house it was a no go as that probably explained the different values...

    Half term......what's that then :confused: It's just another working week :rolleyes:

    A thought re the holiday lets - I could do residential MSE courses......teaching people snowballs, scratchcards and free b!ngo..... with a bit of budget planning and SOA-making. I could do a "how to use a slowcooker" weekend......."how to feed your family for a week on a fiver" courses......:think:

    Whaddya reckon :confused:
