Default Temporary accommodation needed

Hi everyone,

You were a brilliant help the last time, so here's hoping for some guidance again!!
Husband working in DMC needs temporary accom one month on, one month off for 3-6 months. The place he's staying was only for a month and he needs somewhere until I come out after the summer.
Any ideas? It dosen't make sense to rent on his own when he won't be there half the time, so maybe there is someone out there who can see the advantages to both. He's in Dubai at the moment but will be gone in a few days until around middle of March and can meet you anytime.

Here's hoping...

He might try his luck on the notice boards at Spinneys down on Al Wasl Road or Park n' Shop'. Those place usually have shared rental accom adverts posted virtually all the time.

I am sure there will be someone on here that cud offer another alternative. Hope that helps u out.

Thanks Face, much appreciated. Hopefully someone may come up with something. It would be great because they could meet eachother before he leaves for his month off!!

Cheers

Thanks Perfumdiva, but no, he's not working b/b with anyone, that would have been ideal.

Hhmmmmmmmmmmm'

Bummer, looks like he will have to shell out for rent, either for an apartment or a room in a villa/apartment, although it seems a huge waste

Shall ask my brother if he knows of anything, he is in Dubai at the moment

That would be brilliant thanks. He is house-trained - I've had him a long time (we have 3 boys). He's very easy going, watches football, hits a few golf balls, the usual....

Sounds like the one I have at home here LOL

Although to be honest, I have 2 boys, and my husband is way more messier than the kids, even the dog (who is also a male)..

This one is quite tidy Perfumdiva - like I said, I've had him a long time LOL.

I can't wait to come out myself after the summer, we'll buy somewhere at that stage but I want to be involved in the decision. Until then... we have this short term dilemma.

Thanks for your input

Unfortunately true

Boarding school brat, I guess too many years of being made to be tidy in a dorm room LOL

Poor boy has to rebel somewhere

Still love him to bits, even after 16 1/2 married years of untidyness
