I don't want to stay with you You don't need a reason Well you got it like I paid a little bit more up front for the cancellation policy They don't get to keep any of it so it's still bad business. They end up with. So were you unsure about this as a destination when you booked? I was just no no, I just wanted Germination. want to keep o. Circumstances change, J Okay, so you're going to go and book the apartment. Now is the apartment serviced becausecause don't make your life harder when you're going from if you're going if you're to this sayre to sell it into her, right If you're going to sell in a five star hotel to a service department or to an apartment You need to say to her, it's coming with all the amenities because she doesn't all the trimmings, washing and but what you could say is this is better because it's got a laundry, so it can wash the kids cl. but you need to trick that. Yeah to be to be there. No, check it before you tell her that now' all's her ones in you know in the cupboard Okay Yeah. And is it service? Like will they come and do tails? I think once a week that's going be selling point for her. She thinks she's getting service all the time. The hotels every couple of days. The hotels not every day. I don't believe that Show me the booking. I don't believe that it's not. Yeahah. And look there's they got a hotel. There's no swim up bar but the hotel's got a swim up bar. but kids start A swim up Exactly. Hotel AA's got a swim up bar. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Yeah Yeah, but he's leaving that I know. it was just silly. I mean, chuck a couple of cans on the edge of the pool. H apartments' the same thing. same thing. You're not allowed cans in the swimming pool area Unless you're swiming far a drink bottle.. Now I think you need to be mindful that Loe doesn't want tona be doing washing and cleaning and all the things while she's on holiday. So just make sure it's got that. And that would be good telling po pointter. And there's shops underneath the apartment. Oh wow Shops Is there no shops near the hotel? No, like it's walking. You've gott to walk What I would do is a if you're getting an aartment instead of hotel hotel late. it's excell go on Walwor online and have everything you want orudered. it just arrives at the same time as you need do. Because the way I figure it, right? if we cancel the hotel and go to the cheaper accommodation Then we got all that money to use on activities and nice food and stuff But you have to use it because you will likely just say no to the rest of the. No no no. I would one hundred per. should give Lou the money in cash and then you can spend it like she's on mononopoly. Yeah. Okay. we must guys stay safe on your If you're in Victoria On your holidays schoolool holidays. drive carefully. And we will speak to you soon. to the snow planning on a little.
