Butter, cream, avoid sugar at all costs.
I can't see me keeping it up for ever, after all I am programmed to drink beer and eat pizza

So how exactly so you manage to fit in cake then? Everyone knows that's an essential food group.

We buy repossessions and do a quick job on them then rent them out to people who lets say would struggle to pass a credit check .

It's pretty high risk with the continuity of rent but we have a pretty robust method of collection . We have 6 at the moment but ideally would like 10.

Obviously i don't have much to do with the day to day crap as my two pals take care of that . We're thinking about converting them into flats specific for people who need full time care .

There's a massive premium on that if we can get the license . You're looking at 1200 - 1500 GBP per month per unit .

You're a bit of a charitable Charlie aren't you?

Fair play.

Mate , there's nowt charitable renting your houses out to smackheads and low lifes that's for sure but you've got to look for a better yield to make a decent return . Turning up for rent mob handed at 6am is no pretty sight either .

I need to get out of this game at some point mate , i still enjoy what i do but i'm accustomed to a certain lifestyle now and if i want to carry that on when i depart then i need assets that are returning me some cash .

Obviously it will not make me rich but it will keep my Mrs in Louboutin shoes

THat's what it's all about.

I'd like to have a few properties, paid off by retirement age which will give me income steadily and capital when needed, if desperate.

That, or pray for smart kids so I get a decent retirement home. Little ****ers will NOT work in recruitment.

My Mrs is into property and has 6 houses so far. They're between 2 and 5 bed and full of students!

Make me feel a bit lame not having any property.... or not tied down, I can't decide which!

I have cut all that out anyway, I am on all lean meat, all fruit and veggies but trying to avoid carb laden stuff out. Basic meat and veg/salad diet. Nothing refined.

You do know that fruit is mega high in sugar?

Bahtatboy

And you don't really need it. Low-GI veg, ie nothing starchy, is good.

I had falafel for lunch.

First lunch in a bloody long time that involved no meat. I don't think I eat a meal that doesn't contain meat (I don't eat brekkie - I know, I know).
