Anyone need a housesitter at Xmas?

[alieh]

My brother-in-law, sister-in-law and their three kids are contemplating a visit at Xmas, which will strain the capacity of our house to the limits. I wondered if anyone might be going away at Xmas and appreciate someone staying to watch the house, water plants, feed pets, etc?

The family is almost freakishly clean and tidy, the kids are very well behaved (age 14, 12, 10), and they would be spending most of their time sightseeing in London, so spending very little time in the house. They rented a house from a friend previously who said that the house was much cleaner when they got back than when they left it!

Their plans are still tentative at this stage, but if it seemed that a housesitting opportunity was available, it might help make their decision. If this might be of interest, send me a PM.
