I really need a break but don't think I can afford a holiday so does anyone need a housesitter this summer/autumn (or any time)? I am good with cats, and plants, a home watch co-ordinator so security conscious, and am a key holder to several houses locally so could supply references. I am clean and careful with other people's property, but could do with a change of scene and a rest from the daily grind. I have my own transport. Feel free to mail me direct if you think we could help each other out. |

Have you thought about a house-swop for a week or so, if it's just a change of scene that you need? It would be up to you how much you spent exploring the new area, or just enjoying the change. |

Have you thought about doing some sort of voluntary work for a couple of weeks - i.e. helping on an archaelogical dig or on a conservation project? |

Thanks for your responses - I can't houseswap as I want to go off and leave my other half behind - need a break from him and all his son's problems that I have had to help sort out. I can't do conservation work etc much as I would like to as I am suffering from fibromyalgia and osteo arthritis - just need to potter, rest and be on my own. Wouldn't mind particularly where altho prefer somewhere quietish if poss with a garden to sit out in or potter in doing deadheading and watering, but as I would have to drive myself there not more than 300 miles from Norfolk I think. Don't want much, do I? |

It's a pity we haven't met as I need a housesitter for early September. Semi detached 200metres from the sea, four cats to look after for one week. Cleveleys. Julie xxx |

Are you any good with geriatrics? I told Mary I needed a good-looking nurse and she said 'OK - if I can have a toy boy'. len |

Len, I'm very nearly a geriatric myself which is why I don't do dog sitting - not up to long walks anymore.LOL. Tell Mary she can have my toyboy for what he is worth, then I wouldn't have to leave here, he could. Mind you I would probably get done under the trade descriptions act - he is seven years younger than me, but always the first to fall asleep in the chair!! Not quite the toyboy image everyone thinks of! |

nudging this in case anyone else is having concerns over going on hols and leaving animals behind, or worried about security of their home - I am still available to help out. |

It's a pity you live on the other side of the world because we live in a small town & you could just chill out here. If you do go away make sure your other half waters the petunias as we can't have me dying can we (private Joke) I know how you feel as my other half is driving me crazy as well. Hope you get time away. Love Cilla xxxxx |

Cilla - wish I could just pop down - I am sure we would have a laugh. Don't worry about the petunia - I would write a HUGE message so he had no excuse not to water it. lol |
