Re: In a crisis and trying to enjoy life
Hello Johnny. Just to add my best wishes to the others.We've always lived near the sea and I wouldn't think about living anywhere else. There's something special about the coast and no matter what the weather, a good walk by the sea can fix a lot of problems.
Hope everything works out well for you.

I too wish you good luck with your plans. Perhaps a short break in an area you are thinking of moving to might be an idea, you could have a good look round and see what is on offer accommodation and job wise. I hope your wife´s health improves and the future is good to you both.20-04-2015, 10:08 AM

Re: In a crisis and trying to enjoy life
Good morning, Johnny and your wife too. Been there, where you are now and know the feeling of complete helpless. I have to depend on my son for everything now. I am living in his house and eating his food. He and his wife treat me very well, with respect and love, and kindness. I have no suggestions that have not already been said. Best wishes that all sorts out for you.20-04-2015, 10:49 AM

Re: In a crisis and trying to enjoy life
Thanks for your kind words all. Eliza- Yes we have been regularly looking on Rightmove, as you say it is a good resource. Carol- I am inclined to agree that there are fewer job opportunities where we want to move to, though my work isn't seasonal and I am happy to commute if needed. I have had rejections where I live, beginning to think it's an age thing! But I guess our problems are the same where vet we decide to live. I just hope things can improve and move forward before we run out of money. We are trying to get into the mode of quality of life rather than quantity is the key, though the bills still need paying.20-04-2015, 12:59 PM

Re: In a crisis and trying to enjoy life
Welcome Johnny, hope your luck changes soon. For different reasons I no longer live in my own property, I don't envy you looking at private renting, try to get on the social housing list. It sounds like you'd qualify, there's no shame in not owning a property. You may be lucky and get a nice little bungalow like mine. It takes away a lot of the uncertainty and stress knowing you can stay somewhere for the rest of your life with no worries about maintenance etc.20-04-2015, 06:38 PM

Re: In a crisis and trying to enjoy life
Twizard is right. Get on the housing list asap. If your wife has health problems then you will get more chance of getting a house due to medical grounds. If you've both worked hard all your lives then you are entitled to get some help to get yourselves settled. Hope it all works out for you.

Re: In a crisis and trying to enjoy life
I agree... with all the cutbacks in home help and additional help around the house we are looking at selling up and getting a rented house before OH needs too much day to day help..If we dont chances are we will have to loan against the house to pay for help or be made to sell to cover care charges..
