I have however approached a small hotel near us and they are looking into a flexible arrangement which they are hinting would be quite cheap, especially over the next few months but then we'd have to find storage for our stuff on top so it's not really an option but I will check before writing it off.
Thanks for the thought though! stevmk2

Renting a caravan is much the same as renting a house / flat - too much of an outlay and months to get back any deposits - our son's the expert on this and his experiences have been horrendous! stevmk2

What happens if you find your dream home but yours isn't sold, do you lose out? it skeers me to death just thinking about it!

There's also now the problem of fitting in my new medical "needs" etcetera around moving as I can't pick and choose my Cochlear and Audiology dates to fit it all in.
My wife says she'll cope but we need family to rally round and at the moment they're all preoccupied with their own problems bar one who has offered to come up from Devon, stay as long as need be, for me.
Quite touched by that as he's my stepson and although I always worried about him it is only lately that he is coming to the fore - even before my own daughter.
I knew his potential - I'm his Dad by proxy! - but I am humbled now by his sentiment and caring so much.
Must have done some things right...........stevmk2

Re: House Sale & Move, 2nd attempt!
We've had a series of emails from the people who are going to do the conveyancing for us - WHEN we find a home for ourselves.The annoying thing is that our agents have started this by updating us AND these conveyancers without first checking with us!
We now have these Solicitors asking us for money to do Searches when we have no properties yet to research!
This is the very thing that I was concerned about committing to a Conveyancer online.
Common Sense has been retired here and my carefully-worded email has been ignored 'cos no we have money-hungry solicitors almost demanding money to carry out services we do not require at this time!
I am on the verge of telling our agent we are withdrawing because they've over-stepped their authority.
P****d off doesn't even cover how I feel right now. stevmk2
