  • Thanks mum of four :)

    I think this is what I will do with a caravan or motorhome. I am happy to move about a bit.
    So difficult to plan anything solid when I don't know where my work will be from one month to the next as I am freelance.
    Its quite exciting not knowing :D I'm a bit weird like that lol.

    So excited today as dd is coming home today :j off to get all her favourite foods from the supermarket.
  • If you already house sit could you not get a long term job in the area? That way you can be there for 6/12 months and see how it pans out.

    Thanks Andy.
    Yes it will definitely be a case of seeing how it all pans out.
    And I think your right. Eventually a few years down the line I think the people I work for will play a big part in where I end up.
  • Very interested to find this thread as I will be in a similar position in about 18 months when my daughter leaves for university. I wont be following her but as my 2 sons also live further south I will probably relocate to Cambridgeshire where I grew up and my brother and sister still live. This will place me between my sons. I dont know yet where my daughter will go.

    Following the drop in property prices, relationship ending and job (teaching) getting too stressful I have ended up with a low paid part-time job and no savings. I have a vw campervan which is too small to live in full time but is great fun at the moment :)

    I have been looking at this site http://www.helpx.net/hostlist.asp?host_region=301&network=3 for possible future work/places to stay. House sitting sounds like a good idea. Working on campsites in the UK and abroad too. Often work is in exchange for little pay but you get a free pitch.

    Good luck! :T
