My mother in-law has been living with us since her husband was killed whilst trying to rescue a family from a burning building. She is in reasonable good condition for someone who is approaching almost 60, and can still do chores around the house to a satisfactory standard. I just think it would be better off for all concerned if she was in a home with people of her own kind!

Another factor for her leaving is the fact that I now have to park my car on the driveway to accommodate her camp bed in the garage. My wife would like me to turn the games room into a permanent bedroom for her, but then where would myself and the guys play cards?

Now I'm sure there has been many ex-pats in the same predicament.... so if anybody can offer some advice, or indeed suggest a reasonably priced home or hostel (around 200 euros a month) I would be extremely grateful.

Kind regards,
