You have good intentions but it don't work the way you think , I agree the UK is
not a good place etc, most rentals in Malta are un-furnished and January is a
bad time for work, when Christmas and New Year is over with Malta becomes like a
grave yard, ( personally I like Winter) and its cold.
In Malta jobs that pay a good wage to bring up four children are not easy to
find and that's if your Maltese! so I don't think your chances will be good,
most causal work is in Summer when the Tourist's arrive! also you will not be
able to obtain any state benefits, I would have another think about what you are
planning.
Its funny how Northern European people are always chasing the sun and forget the
Malta has a winter as well!
