NuBeginnings

I replaced the glass in one of my stoves in the UK after over zealously trying to put a big log in. Cost of glass £50 which I thought was a rip of. But @150 in France now that takes the pee !

Thank you for the advise I will give you a call if I have any further questions and will definitely take her out on the road. May ask if I can loan her for a week or two so I can trial her. We have a miniature pony to keep her company. I love the Andalusians such a noble bread good looks and a fantastic gate ;-) The price seems very reasonable. There is a large equestrian school near by so I may carry on my education there. I have always wanted to learn dressage.

Some advise needed. Having had the pleasure of stabling someone else's horses for the last year. I am thinking about taking the plunge my self. I have found a horse that I am interested in buying 6 year old Andalusian mare, ( I have always wanted to own a Andalusian as I grew up in Spain and fell in love with the breed) Having never owned a horse just ridden since a child, my buying knowledge is limited so I am going to take a fellow equestrian owner with me. If I decide to buy I will ask for the vet to carry out a health cheque. Any other advice ? Here is a picture of the mare price €1600 she is has basic schooling.

[quote user="Chancer"]Congratulations Nubeginnings, you have all worked very very hard and deserve every bit of success [:D] I am now 26kg lighter than I was 9 months ago, lighter and fitter than I was in my teens, it has taken close to 4 decades to finally crack it. I started running during les vacances as all the keep fit classes stopped, I had not ran since school 37 years before and I was always the last then, 5 weeks after starting from zero I ran a semi marathon in just over 2 hours. May the future remain bright for you [:D] [/quote] Thats rather a broad assumption. Given that we have had a few clients that are members of various French forums I will have to disagree with you. As you can see from Chancers post he has in fact stayed with us twice.

At last the Tatler on line version is out ;-) Very pleased even if they have put our UK website address. http://www.tatler.com/guides/spa-guides/2012/search?MainCategory=Work%20It%2c%20Baby&LocationName=Nubeginnings

I never saw season 1 but downloaded the whole of season 2 for a friend in Australia ended up watching the lot and like it ;-) Now for those that like something different The walking dead is mustard ! Well worth searching for on a torrent site.

It was the first property I brought when I was 20 so its rather sentilmental ! But putting that to the side it represents an excellent rental investment generating nearly 3.5k a month. The only issue is the freeholder, but I am hopeful he may sell of one of his flats this year as its been empty for 6 months and he has just renovated it. The managing agent has indicated he may sell if he does the % ownership slips out of his fat little fingers and I shall take pleasure in ripping the building from his clutches via leasehold enfranchisement.

No rental value makes no sense to sell. If I am lucky the freeholder may sell one of his flats this year. If he does that by by freeholder hello enfranchisement and we rip the freehold from the greedy git !

Quillan Out of 6 flats 3 are owned by the freeholder all the lessees pay the service charges demanded. However forcing the freeholder is an expensive uphill struggle.

Leasehold law sucks for the most part. I have been trying to force this particular freeholder via his managing agents to manage the building properly. Its not huge, small mantion block 6 flats above two shops so not complicated. This year I have been pushing for the communal halls ti be refurbished. The response was the freeholder will only stretch to a freshen up, but if you want a better job pay for it your self !

For those of you that own lease hold property in the U.K. Here is a tale of caution. For a number of years I had been battling with the management company shoddy work and service charges never seemed to be correct. I took the bull by the horns and challenged the service charges in the LVT. The freeholders solicitors sent over all the accounts after going over the accounts they showed a 4k over charge in a six year period just on my service charges. I had been paying to manage his flats and to maintain them!!!!!! So the 4k was returned but it cost me over 2k in legal fees to get that back, could not get the fees back as the LVT don't have a provision to rule on costs. Matter settled just before the hearing. In my mind it was fraud, but I have been advised its just poor accountancy. The freeholder is work more than 50million ! Leasehold law desperately needs to change.

Bulls are fearsom creatures, I have been lucky enough to have dived with most of the big sharks. But they are killing machines and we enter in to their environment and take that risk. I personal avoid swimming at all costs as I know whats below me. It is truly sad when any one gets bitten eaten or dies by any creature. However you go in to the jungle or swim in the sea you take that risk. its never the shark or the lions fault etc and the needless knee jerk reaction to Kill kill kill truly frustrates me.

Some advise needed. I am looking for a boutique hotel or Chambres d Hotes in Limoges. Its for a December birthday present so needs to be 5* or ill never here the last of it ;-)

A fish head.

For those of you that dive here is a short clip you may enjoy I filmed whist on holiday. Chancer it beats splashing about in a quarry !

There is a long thread on Sarls here http://www.laymyhat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16118

Obesity is an epidemic that has been ignored for far to long. As a professional working in weight loss,it sadness me to see the amount of junk people eat. The consequences of obesity can lead to type 2 diabetes heart problems but to name a few. As Chances said nothing worse than a youngster in a short skirt crop top and having a muffin top showing please cover up ;-)

[quote user="NickP"]I'm not a Gite owner but a consumer who uses Trip adviser all the time. Like all reviews you have to read between the lines, it doesn't take the brains of Einstein to decipher some reviews, and you make your decision on a gite/hotel/restaurant by common sense. I'm sure that it is galling that sometimes owners get a customer who is a complete and utter pratt, but if you run a good business and offer value for money you have nothing to worry about. I find it strange that Euro slates TA reviews and the admits that he reacts to %'s on Ebay. Come on Euro you wouldn't want us to think of you as a NIMBY would you?[/quote] I have to agree with NickP, could not have said it better ;-)

Nice ;-) I also loved the Ryan air one.

Ahhh its all clear now !
