There's absolutely no correlation at all.

There seems to be very little activity here on the 'Old World' overseas markets such as Spain, France, Italy and Greece, whereas there is a huge amount of interest in the emerging markets such as Egypt, Brazil, Morocco and Dubai.

This, to me, is just more proof that all of us on TotallyProperty are ahead of the curve and, where we lead, others will follow!

I was on the phone to Hurghada yesterday and it was raining!!! The first time in eight or nine years apparently.

Still, now thats out of the way we should be safe for another eight or nine.

Her Royal Highness has agreed to accompany me to Hurghada on the understanding that:

(a) I don't work her into the ground
(b) I buy her membership at a nice health club
(c) I get her access to a nice private beach so that she can spend much of her time lazing around drinking Margarita's untroubled by riff-raff.

For the 'nice health club' part of the deal, I've heard good things about the Marriott. Has anyone any experience of it?

Anyone know of a nice private beach that it's possible to buy a membership for?

Anyone know how much cash it's going to cost me a month to keep Madam happy?

When we were in Sharm last Easter we had thunder, lightning and rain. Bit scary when the lightning came as we were in the pool!!

Say GBP15,000 if you want it to top European standards and you give it to a responsible company who will micro-manage the whole process from start to finish.

Hi Nick
The way things are looking you won't have to worry; you can keep her busy with our clients all day every day!

Her clients, not ours!

I need to find her a nice beach with Wifi, then she can work and sunbathe at the same time!

If anyone is 'in town' between now and the 8th Feb. my mobile number is (002) 0161 714337. (I know, I know it looks like a Manchester number but believe me thats where the similarity ends!)

Thanks for the info, what is included in "everything"? I was thinking of aluminium d/g, fitted kitchen, electrics, plumbing, bathrooms, tiling, plaster work, painting etc ready to move in the furniture and white goods.
