If u are what we are looking for - and as i said before we must meet and discuss etc - but meantime I have been discussing the possibility of maybe one of u working with me and ur partner maybe with my english friend or even both of u working part time for both of us!I am actually prone to employing males whereas my friend opts for females! My whole team is male except for the cleaner and Jackie who actually replaces me on 2 shifts a week. Mohamed who does evenings 5 days a week is picking up his day job from 15th april so i have a vacancy there!
Wanted to ask u if u speak French or arabic?

Meant to mention I was a rep too - for airtours,my travel and panaorama before I went into business ! I didn't laugh about ur homemade pies cos i used to do the same and sell them at my beach bar before!yes they were popular too!
Anyway u must be busy now tieing up ur loose ends look forward to meeting soon

I've got an option on a 1 bed studio in yas hammamet for 500 - i think you'd spend the differece between 350 and 500 in taxis if u rented in barraket essahel - yas better place to be and more secure! Friend of mine has taxi an can bring u fromtunis for 60 dinars - let me know if i should book him and if so ur arrival time etc best regds

Barraket essahel is approx 5 mins by taxi to yasmine but if u were walking it would take a good 40 mins or so! Barraket essahel is a bit rough n scruffy and houses all the people who work in tourism in hammamet n yasmine areas. Rental costs defo cheaper but then u have the added expense of transport and security wise yasmine far superior!500 dinars is approx 250 pounds.will be back on to discuss what my contacts have come up with!

when renting usually u pay a month rent plus a months rent caution which is refundable when u leave apart as u found it!llots of different arrangements tho - depends what suits u best!a yearly contract will be cheaper than a short term one!

i think 350 for barraket essahel is expensive - the area is a bit rough - if u can afford it defo better in yasmine - i'm still searching and hoping to get u something cheap or reasonable! better puttin the extra in rent than on txis back and forth to yasmine - problem in the summer u can't get in and out easily - traffic chaos!

Ok just seen ur message now! I better start looking now then if ur over by the 12th!! Plenty available but all comes down to price - will let u know what i find! Re Restaurant - don't want to promise u loads or anything and as i said before I don't want to go engaging people before i have at least met them. I wondered if you would mind telling me a little bit more about yourselves and the jobs u are doing there. Either way I look forward to meeting with you both once ur over.
I have a friend with more of a bar than a restaurant she is also english and nearby she might also be looking for some help there!
I have been in Tunisia 25 years this year and think I'll be able to answer many of ur questions!
So if I can help you in anyway just ask best regds
