Annex/Airbnb is up and running!

Hi!

Well....we did it! Our first guest arrived yesterday! I had to work solidly to get it finished - including weekends with Andy helping!  It didn't seem like we had much to finish but we did! lol.

Jane is our first guest and her husband is quite ill at the local hospital, so I hope he's going to be okay!  So the things that went not so well....I had just finished showing her around and we walked back to her car and some bloke cycled into the driveway - looking very dodgy and nervous when he saw us standing there.  He looked quite like a bloke we saw before (and nick-named Kev, after he looked like a dodgy bloke selling phones etc.)....so I am hoping that didn't make her feel unsafe.  Then I remembered that we had borrowed all the coat hangers when Bev stayed last week....then this morning I remembered we had also borrowed the clothes rack...and to top it off she messaged me this morning saying that the loo seat had broken!

She is aware that she is our first guest so hopefully she will cut us some slack and give us a good review!

Its a milestone getting the annex finished! We have bits and bobs to improve on - we want to sort out a different entrance to the annex - sort out the garden....paint a few more things...but we'll get there and then hopefully it wont be too much work maintaining it.

I actually hired a cleaner!  She works hard and moves all our stuff about lol....but it makes my life easier - I just can't cope working on the house and cleaning it all...

Here is a link to our airbnb....

The living room has been changed a little since the pictures were taken - the TV is now on the wall and there is a wall fire too....

So, my plan was to have a day off today and rest my very painful foot - but now I need to go buy a loo seat and fix it!

So in the last few weeks we have had Joanne and family visit, and bev & Tony visited too (not all at the same time).  It was the first time Bev has visited and we haven't been as close as we once were for a while too, so it was awesome that she made the effort to come and visit.

Anyway - better go and buy a loo seat!
