Thanks dave, I thought maybe I was wrong! I think you could saw the three clean ones, (tbh, not sure how you'd get into them, because they are so massive, it would be sawing like a chipmunck, but there you go, definitely possible, but probably not time effective for us with everything else that always needs to be done,

but I don't really want the rest sitting around for a few years to get rain cleaned like a battalion!

Offer them to the next community bonfire?

That's definitely an idea.:) But it would be next year :eek: I'm still hoping these suckers might come out before then. Also, getting them there......I'd have to ask some farmers very nicely I guess.

The think is they probably COULD get a fortune for your place after some hefty capital expenditure. . It might well be the plan thinking about it. I budget my capital expenditure and my cash flow budget pretty independently (and then there are more than one set of those because domestic and other) ( the crisis of what to do next is partly because I'm frozen because I need to make a capital investment into the stabling not a business one and capital cash is ...well...not available in personal budget but is sitting in the business budget but for stupid reasons of tax we cannot build stables from business income because we own it as a home not own it as a buisness...its all very confusing....but its how tax works ....) but I HAVE to spend the business cash really , but don't have anything big enough to spend it on, only things that are too small or too big!




So it might be in the same way the ll are, they have enough capital to make it worth doing up to increase the cash flow, but not to invest it for the same cash flow ......

exactly ! thats perfectly possible....:o

BUT they would need a deep pot... my friend who "does up" says it would need minimum £100,000 to bring to any level .
elec £25k, sewerage £12k, roof £10k just for starters....

but they apear not to have a bean.. i know some projects they got grants for have yet to be done /started ....

quick fix money ideas [shows events] fell on thier butt cos no permissions... they seem to be badly advised as to how to make the estate work for them..

Why so much for electricity? Because of generator?

I think she's right though, that sort of investment would make your place the most amazing home, the kind of uber retreat for rich people.

Personally I love it alfie style.

Bloody typical of the way this country is run! Fark the poor and let the rich off tax so they can make yet more money out of the poor. :mad: (LiR, I don't include you in there - we all work the tax as best we can, we have to! Though at present it isn't a thing for me as a non Income Tax payer)

I don't get enuff (state pension plus a tiny amount dividend off shares left by my Dad) to pay income tax, but spend over £300 a year to pay accountant to prove it! :eek: Don't begrudge my accountant, he was very kind to Mum in last year or so of her life, and he got into trouble about that with his managers. He has been very helpful this year too over stuff can't go into here (limit to sharing for my privacy online). Though it prob added a few bob to my bill! :rotfl:

Actually, I think its quite the opposite in many cases. If we're were paying LESS tax, able to invest more in our business more easily we'd be away, full time employing and and I'd live like some one richer but also be employing more...so everyone would do directly better. By having to be tax efficient (not very well might I add:o) we're all the time delaying employing someone full time and having the business run ing properly which would make more money for every one.


DH is in the income bracket that has no personal allowances, so we pay more in tax than most (because he earns more than most...but he works like a cockroach for it...then comes home and works here).

As 'high income bracket' peoe I am sure Alfie will tell you, there is not much evidence of it here....its all well used, because high income often goes with high (not by choice) expenditure.

Eg, my husbands employers have a mandatory amount his secretary must be gifted by him for Christmas. Its more than we will gift everyone else all combined at Christmas :eek:

That is ridiculous! Is that legal? Surely your husband should be able to choose what to give to his secretary based on how well she does job and so on, and if not his employers should be doing the gifting if they insist on that amount whatever it is.

I only ever worked as a lab tech, best present got when in hospital lab was a bottle of (boring as opposed to good) sherry from the consultant in charge, and that only happened one year as he retired and we never got anything after that.
