Comments on: House swap shop http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/house-swap-shop/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:52:18 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Drunk Mummy http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/house-swap-shop/#comment-398 Drunk Mummy Mon, 11 Jun 2007 21:50:27 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/house-swap-shop/#comment-398 That's fascinating - great post! I think I would be a nervous wreck about the kids breaking other people's stuff though. That’s fascinating - great post!

Sounds like a good idea. From what they said and yours and Ursula's experiences the positives far outweigh the negatives. Something to consider for the future methinks.

I do recommend trying this wonderfully enriching vacation alternative! My family and I just came back from a home exchange in Italy. The swap was not for a house but for a medieval tower in Tuscany. We did not have to deal with mice but with a bat! (For more details about the trip see my blog at www.jewettstreet.com.) Home exchange has become such a passion for me that I very recently launched my own home exchange network. I would like to invite you to join - membership is free for a limited amount of time (no strings attached). For more information go to www.jewettstreet.com. Also, for a member from New Zealand I seek a home exchange in Essex in September and October 2007. If you know of anybody interested in such an offer let them know about us. Thank you.

I don't think I could have people in my house <i>touching my things </i>... I only ever clean skirting boards when I am moving house! I think you’re very brave.

I only ever clean skirting boards when I am moving house!

Right, that's out, then. And it sounded such fun, apart from the rabbit. You have to CLEAN the SKIRTING BOARDS? Right, that’s out, then. And it sounded such fun, apart from the rabbit.
