If it's only being rented at the weekends what do you do with all your "stuff"? You know like the tins of beans in the cupboard, the crap in the sideboard and the stuff in the wardrobes/drawers? Cos if I rented a place I'd expect not to have someone else's belongings everywhere.

Ohnonevermind · 31/08/2022 09:14

She’s emptying out the nursery and putting in a double bed in his room - so to have 3 double rooms to let to maximise her rental. Her son the business guru seems to have escaped these plans at present.

it shows her other multiple ‘streams of income’ must be as dry as the Sahara desert 🤣

BSintolerant · 31/08/2022 09:24

She could ask Yawn to paint a hunspirational sign (in Frenchic and gold leaf) for her kitchen to be placed just above the hob:

“Dance like nobody’s watching!”

Spongebobette · 31/08/2022 09:34

That will be hard to use as attraction marketing

PieonaBarm · 31/08/2022 09:50

Where's the smallest turret going to sleep then? Bet Yawn is wetting her pants with glee, there will be a veiled dig from her in the next few days

SnoogyWoo · 31/08/2022 10:09

This really shows how far they have fallen. If you had a successful business with a great income or scamversity was racking up the subscribers, there is no way in hell you would open your house up like this. This is purely because they have run out of cash and scamversity is failing already. This is the fastest way they can think of raising a few Bob but a very disruptive one.

You could see the stress in castles face.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 31/08/2022 10:40

For it to work in rescuing her fortunes, she'd need it to be fully booked out over just about every weekend of the year. That's never going to happen. If it did, having to lock away all your possessions every week and slope off in a camper van, come rain or shine, is not a great way to live. At least her parents will be the ones clearing up at the end of each weekend for her.
What will she describe the occupied lodge as to her 'guests'- the servants' quarters?

fromdownwest · 31/08/2022 10:41

Totally agree with the above. If one had multiple sources of 6 figure income, then you would retain the large family home (FOR YOUR PARENTS)

Buy a villa abroad, and a decent motor home.

Not let out your family home on an adhoc basism to cover basic living costs, because your business failed, and current one looks like its going the same way.

She is in free fall, and it is quite apparent in her mannerisms.

Also, GET RID OF THE CHARM ON YOUR PHONE! The clanking is worse than your lip smacking.

Also, in classic Castle style, she is a little late to the party.

  1. Staycations are on the downward trajectory
  2. Cost of living, will mean people will opt for Hotels, a family of 4 could stay in the Celtic Manor, or Castle Manor?
  3. Probably has not taken into account the costs associated. Insurances, fees, and if she is saying those numbersm then 40% off for tax and 19% for corp tax (if in her LTD company)
BSintolerant · 31/08/2022 10:51

I wonder how much it will cost for Castle to stay somewhere pleasant in her botmobile? She must’ve considered site fees, caravan club membership, insurance, and the cost of fuel. There again there’s always a lay-by just off a motorway - let’s hope she doesn’t park in a dogging hotspot!

Ohnonevermind · 31/08/2022 10:56

Has the Bank of mum and dad closed. Does Mr Castle have a job

I’m reminded so much of Persuasion. We must retrench. Let out the house and move somewhere cheaper

i just don’t see how the numbers stack up for air bnb at the weekends. I think the house will be on the market, the problem is she’s overspent ripping out nice stuff to replace with new shiny stuff so most of the profit from rising prices will have been sucked up by her reservations and her parents will have nowhere for their mobile home

her parents were convinced to sell up their lovely home and buy a mobile home (which wasn’t cheap) but now posters are saying she’s ‘got to put herself first’ - castle has never put herself anywhere else 🤣🤣🤣

Ohnonevermind · 31/08/2022 10:57

Castle has clearly burned through her parents spare cash.

fromdownwest · 31/08/2022 11:09

Ohnonevermind · 31/08/2022 10:57

Castle has clearly burned through her parents spare cash.

There is not other reason, a successful busines owner, would never consider letting their primary residence for some spare cash.
Things must be really tight to consider doing that.

What about when the boy is older, and has events, parties, sports etc. Ripped away from the local area every weekend, to live in a mobile home.

Does Mr Castle still have that printing clothing business, or does he have the resolve of his wife?

I have a friend who has multiple Air b'n'b's. She is very concerned about their fuel bills. They are prudent with their usage, however, they are concerned that the guests will not be so much. Heating on whenever, lights etc. Really going to eat into that profit margin, especially a house that size.

SnoogyWoo · 31/08/2022 11:10

Imagine the energy bills for that house come October.

Ohnonevermind · 31/08/2022 11:26

@fromdownwest

the house is under 2,000 sq feet so not huge, it looks bigger than it is though from the outside.

Its 20 years old so probably not insulated as well as a modem house which will drive up bills.

her parents will have a huge heating costs in the mobile home though

Ohnonevermind · 31/08/2022 11:28

castle can stay in the room over the garage and put the kids in with her parents 😜

her son is at the age of joining teams like soccer, rugby etc -what about all the games at the weekend and birthday parties for friends. As usual it hasn’t been thought through

Twentytwentyhindsight · 31/08/2022 11:30

I wonder if one of the 'entrepreneurial income streams that you can start right now' that will be revealed on Scamversity's freshers' week is selling your organs for donation?...

fromdownwest · 31/08/2022 11:43

The whole thing doesn't make sense, other thatn financially f*cked.

It's way too inconvienent to be for voluntary reasons.

To be fair, could not be happening to a nicer person. The amount of women, who have lost thousands to her MLM / coaching, it is nice to see the shoe on the other foot.

grumpytoddler1 · 31/08/2022 11:59

I have one of those horrible J.O.B.s. I can confirm that I do not have to rent out my own house to strangers on weekends in order to make ends meet.

WisteriaLodge · 31/08/2022 12:43

It's unbelievable that someone who had over £800,000 in bonus cheques in the space of two years is now resorting to letting her house on AirBnB, she could have bought somewhere really modest with that money and had a comfortable life with no money worries at all

I did stay in one AirBnB in Devon that was like the Marie Celeste. I felt like I was breaking and entering: laundry basket at the bottom the stairs full of clean laundry waiting to go up. Still wet washing up on the draining board etc. Perhaps that’s the approach Castle will take?

Yes, I can see it now. On entering Chez Castle I trip over a pile of planners still wet with her tears. The fridge is full of Aloe which is untouched and bottles of gin that are all nearly empty. Scattered across the hall are final demand bills. The walls are strewn with hunspirational quotes such as “Live Laugh Love” and “Scheme, Scam, Scum” all covered in dust and cobwebs. On the table are glossy magazines and brochures for expensive villas in the Sun. Under them is a well thumbed copy of Caravanning Weekly - special pullout guide to emptying your chemical toilet.

On the mantelpiece there is a card from Fierce which reads, “thanks Hun, the last of your parents money has really saved my bacon. I’ve pooled all the £39 payments and once I’ve deducted your stay in my property and the coaching I gave you, oh and the coaching Mr Fierce gave Mr Castle, plus the other costs of setting up here and the purchase of those two blazers and that camera operator, oh and the website, oh and I had to buy Ninja some dental floss and a book about how to talk to girls. The grand total means you only owe me eleven billionty pounds! Can I have it in used fivers? My mum will meet you at Newport M4 services to receive the cash so let me know if you want to put in a Tropic order and she will bring it (sorry, no discount)”.

I’ve got the off work so getting carried away again! But what have I missed that I would encounter during my Welsh AirBnB stay?

This is the woman that purchased a £1,500 spin bike and used it once. Magnify, this across her life, and you can see why she is where she is

Spongebobette · 31/08/2022 13:00

Yeah she’s not looking all that successful in her latest live
wearing that ridiculous American top and forcing a smile

and they are ‘giving away thousands’ in Freshers Week? Thousands of what?

(I laughted atvthe mention of ‘curriculum’ and ‘student portal’ and ‘orientation’.. She’s trying to use these terms to sound convincing 🤣)

It also doesn't seem very cohesive does it? Like two seperate businesses, randomly posting on a business page.

Maybe fierece is finding our how unreliable and workshy Castle actually is. Also, without her FL funnell, she becomes even less desirable as a business partner.

Spck · 31/08/2022 13:14

How do you know that JL bot has left FL?
