The final 2 years when my new partner was in the picture she just couldn’t get used to having strangers in her space and in the kitchen wanting to talk or sit down and have dinner together.

Now that's some Aussie vernacular I had forgotten, much like "man that cars in good nick".On a visit in 2012 we had some USA friends in Adelaide out for dinner & when the waiter asked how her meal was she simply said "I'm stuffed", he smiled & walked away.

Worst case scenario you and your wife get free drinks and dinner. 

Kind of like if you searched for a video on how to make spaghetti and meatballs, you are going to get 100s of different ways to make the same dish and if you want to actually eat dinner you'll have to just pick one and make it.

Use the shop as the game room so people can split into different spaces, kids can make noise while parents prep dinner or watch a movie, etc. 

I'm open for coffee or dinner and would love to learn from from any feedback/suggestions provided! 

I am looking to set up a lunch, dinner or drinks with other investors in the area. 

I received a boxed dinner (turkey sandwich), a 212-page softcover book "Flipping Your Way to Real Estate Profits" by Scott and Amie Yancey, and two free audio CDs: "Flipping Your Way to Real Estate Profits" and a "Bonus Disk" : with two sections: (i) 2 Crazy Secrets and (ii) Scott and Amie Yancey-Commonly Asked Questions & Answers."

Plus, when you take inevitable trips to check in on the properties you can at least have dinner with someone instead of eating by yourself at whatever places are within walking distances of the Hyatt.  

When we moved to Arizona that dropped to Zero percent, nada, nothing, 0% That savings is a lot of dinners out at some very fine restaurants, plus it isn't grey and raining all the time ;-)
