House/Pet Sitting

seven-day-weekend

Hi Merrywidow!

The Spanish house will be available for rent, but it won't matter if no-one rents it, it has very few overheads and can just be locked up and left. A friend of mine here in the village will keep an eye on it for us.

It will also be on a Home Exchange holidays site (it is listed already) - no payment but holiday in someone else's house while they come to ours.

We don't know what seasons we will do yet. Spring and Autumn are nice here - Summer is too hot and Winter is too cold - BUT the winter is sunny so I expect we'll spend a month or two Spring, Autumn, Winter.

Hi SDW....I googled House Exchange and House sitting and it threw up stacks of leads. Need to dig deeper for payment etc. Might have to wait till I return from my ska-ting trip to O Grove. I do hope the weather there is sunny - I suffer from SAD and its beginning to feel like I never lost last year's dose.

Told you SDW - I kill a thread stone dead. Surely there are poeple out there who know a bit about House sitting and pet minding, or know someone who does - come on guys your help is needed. Amen. MW

Hi SDW - bought the Lady mag today but not read it yet. There must surely be something in there - more soon.

Hi Seven day weekend

Finally got around to reading the Lady mag, but the only thing was www.homesitters.co.uk - but it tells you most of what you need to know.
At your service....MW

Thanks for all that Merrywidow - sorry I didn´t see your posts before (we´ve had visitors).

And that looks a very helpful link - just reading it now!
