Mums Finance

One thing we, as a hotel, ensure we never ever run out of is that one important necessity of life - toilet paper. We go through mountains of the stuff - well - our guests do anyway and when you count the number of guests who assume it is fine to take a full roll with them when they leave you can realise just how much the costs run up.

Funny the souvenirs that people go for…

There are also other supplies we stock up on for lifes little emergencies; when you run a hotel you find that one is always around the corner - drama seems to follow some people around. We always keep a supply of disposable nappies in various sizes and this came about as we travel around ourselves. We have found ourselves without a nappy for one of the kids when they were babies - I once even improvised with an old t-shirt for my son when he was nine months old….

We see a large number of elderly travellers too so keeping a pack of those incontinence supplies in the form of pants have come in useful a couple of times. You should see our store room - with the first aid kits and all these things it is starting to resemble a pharmacy!
