I know that electricity costs have been progressively getting higher… but I thought that it didn’t affect me, because I’d never noticed any substantial jump in my electricity costs. Until this quarter, where one of my serviced accommodation properties hit costs of £523.52 for the quarter. I was blown away, thanks EDF, your charges…
I’m completely independent of location. I can work from anywhere and that comes with some huge bonuses… Check my Instagram, I like to post beautiful pics of where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing. This week I road tripped with my sister, Sophie and my pup Summer. We rented a car and drove…
These guaranteed rental income schemes are popping up everywhere… Whilst you may be dead against them, you may also come up against a situation where you are looking to buy a new BTL, you find the perfect property.

Typically, I make a good amount from my serviced accommodation… however I’ve just had a nightmare of a few weeks, so I thought I would share. I had a guest book to stay from Sunday 13th Jan – Saturday 9th March. The total income from the booking was £3,677.66. This included one clean. …

I’m 30 on Monday 18th March (have I already said it enough?!). It’s a big deal because I feel my 20’s were where I was learning to be me, and now I get to actually be me. I saw that Taylor Swift recently wrote the same titled piece for Elle. Whilst, I’m not a…
Finally, in my very very late 20’s… I mean a couple of days away from 30 and I’ve just started properly saving. I’ve said it on many occasions, that I am just terrible at saving. Chris, my Fiancé, on the other hand is freaking awesome at it. That boy could put 75% of…
When I come back to the UK, I LOVE picking up a good book… or a few. Mainly because they are so much cheaper to buy in the UK than the US. This week I just finished reading Sarah Knights’ Calm the F*ck Down. This is an aeroplane read… every time I fly to…
