Turns out that sort of similar things do exist already though, but rather than fully swapping lives people just swap houses for a while – usually for career reasons where it’s simpler and easier for some one to be living in a different place than having to commute and if you can find two people looking to do the same thing then it makes sense for them to swap rather than each having to pay out to rent somewhere.

One such site is Christian Home Exchange. So what can they do? Well ChristianHomeExchange.com aims to help pastors who are planning a study leave to arrange an affordable clergy sabbatical by simply swapping residence with some one else in the same boat as them – it really is a clever idea that suits every one involved and I am surprised that more people don’t do it, not just clergy men and women but in other careers as well.

Although there might be some trust issues with people in other industries I guess, I can see why pastors would have no issue because lets be honest how could you find a more trustworthy profession? I know if I was going to leave my house in someone else’s capable hands a pastor would be the top of my list

Oh well, I guess I will have to continue on with my search.

Of course it has it’s hassles, it’s a lot to organise and don’t even get me started on what a pain it can be dealing with certain companies along the way.

A few years ago when we moved we were without internet access for almost two months thanks to a series of screw ups from our new provider.

At least setting up our new Directv has always been pretty straight forward, the Internet I can just about survive without – but I would wither and die without my Direct TV – fact!

I love unpacking every thing and deciding where it’s going to go and decorating etc, I would move once per year if it wasn’t so expensive!

We are pretty settled where we are now though so unless something major changes I won’t be searching for Direct TV in Florida any time soon.

Well, no actually — I am always the one that decides on our decor and furniture…it’s a dangerous game him doing it.

His boss was selling it off cheap because they have another baby on the way so need to clear out the spare room and turn it into a nursery. Husband to be thought that it was such a good deal for a big expensive bed that it was worth the risk that I wouldn’t like it.

I suppose he’s right really, though he should know I generally don’t like divan beds. But I guess money is the most important thing when you are struggling in this economy as we are — not what it looks like. Plus it is super comfortable and easy to sleep on as it was a really expensive and high quality purchase originally.

Though if I did have my way I would have wanted a nice brown or black leather one — I just think they look so sexy and modern, whereas divans look old fashioned to me. Time4Sleep.co.uk have loads of leather beds that tickle my fancy and at really great prices too.

Oh well, nothing I can do about it now.
