Rent/board wanted

Johnny from Hornby

Hello everyone. My name's Johnny and I'm looking for a place to call home from late-August onwards. I'm leaving my current abode on August 7, doing a house-sitting gig for the next fortnight after that, and then looking to move in somewhere on August 23 (Wednesday) or the following weekend (August 26 & 27) at the latest. I work in Rolleston, so a location either there or in nearby Templeton or Hornby would be preferable - but I'll consider anything. I'm looking for a boarding/flatmate situation, internet facilities a must, and long-term please; let's face it, moving sucks. I'm 49, pleasant, child and pet-friendly, clean and tidy, always pay rent in advance and am extremely respectful of other people's 'space' and property. Work-wise I'm employed in the harness racing industry and have been for over three decades - marketing stallions, managing syndicates, writing articles, and designing and maintaining websites. Life is busy, but I like it like that. Hobbies include playing pool and poker. I don't have a lot of household furniture by choice, but own the basic necessities like a bed, dresser, and a couple of other nice things. It'd be great if the room you're trying to fill is large(ish), and/or if you had a little bit of space in your garage for me to store a couple of boxes, an armchair and a small table. I'm domesticated, so I don't need anyone to do my washing or cook my meals thanks; I buy my own food, make my lunch every morning, and then clean up afterwards every time - it'll be like I'm not even there. If I sound like the sort of guy who'd be 'right at home' in your home, please send me a text on 021 883 713 and I'll get back in touch with you as soon as possible. I've still got a few weeks to find a place, but I'd like to get it organised. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. Cheers for reading, Johnny.
