Interesting to see this has come back, any reason why it went off for a while BigTech?

I haven't done a swap but I know it is a great idea.

I'm so glad this topic is now on mumsnet! We live in a detached house in a nice part of Birmingham. We're always looking for new places to go in the UK during the school holidays. There's five of us so "normal" holidays can be expensive and tricky to sort.

We've also got friends up north that we don't see often enough...

should have said we are looking for a house in central London..!

We're just on the outskirts of Brussels - 4 beds, very good transport links to the city centre / Antwerp / Leuven.

We might be interested in a swap to the UK next Easter - London, Cotswolds, Shropshire, Powys (sister lives there) or somewhere scenic?

I have a lovely detached 4 bed house in Ireland. Right on the beach. Would anyone like to do a longterm swap? Would consider Europe, Canada, America or Australia.

Never house-swapped before - wondering how this works...

We (me, DP and DS 9 months) live in the British Virgin Islands in a 2 bedroom cottage - would someone from the UK literally just swap houses with us for a couple of weeks or whatever? Sounds brilliant!!

I have 3 dogs. Do people ever dog-swap too?

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
