  • Hello lovely people :)

    I hope you are all fine and well this sunny Sunday morning. The Air BnB booking went very well, they were lovely people and really liked their room and the house. Hopefully we will get a good review from them and some more bookings :)

    I didn't make an OP yesterday but have made one just now of £100, and updated my signature accordingly. I am going to finish this cuppa then do my menu plan for the week to keep food spends to a minimum.

    Keep on keeping on lovely folks xxx :):):)

    Glad the airbnb booking went well! Positive reviews should help a lot with getting more bookings. :)

  • Hello friends,

    How are we all today? I am full of a really grotty head-cold and feel pretty pants. Fortunately we have childcare sorted for today so I can take it easy - I have some work to do but I only plan on working until 11am them a day in bed beckons. I also seem to have a mild sickness bug which isn't helping :eek:

    Our guests left us a lovely review on Air BnB so I'm really pleased. I have just paid a £200 OP and updated my signature. I am so determined we will smash this challenge, it is taking up a lot of headspace thinking about it, in a way I will be relieved when it's done as then I can just stash the money in our savings until the new year when our 10% allowance re-starts. I am so so proud of what we have achieved this year, but I need to give it one last push to 14th November :):):)

    Well I'm going to drag my snuffly self to the post office, have lovely days all xx

  • We have another Air BnB booking :j this time for two nights later this week for a chap who is working in the area. From his messages he seems lovely and has good reviews. Yippee!

    Right, off to list a couple of bits on the local Facebook selling group X :)

    Once you get a couple more reviews maybe you can start creeping the price up?

  • Yes that's the plan JL, to increase by £2 per night if we get another good review.

    Feeling pretty ropey, time for a :coffee: xx

    Snap :(.

    Great news on the AirBNB - DD is making a lot from it :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
