My 79 year old mum lives 30 miles away and with out a car it is difficult to visit. I have a moped but have to rely on the weather being good on my day off work. So since coming back of holiday in August I have not been to visit and the only other one likely to visit is my brother from the other end of the country who cant even bother to phone her let alone visit. She has been unhappy living there and has been looking into moving. I found a bungalow that is a bit cheaper than hers so she could afford to move to it. It is probably about 15 miles form me but there is a bus and train that goes ther which would make my visiting easier. It is in a village that we dont know anybody but surely it is better than where she is now as she hardly knows anybody there. She is going to phone the estate agents today to arrange viewing

I know its going to be a long hard struggle to arrange it all a she has to quickly find a buyer for her place if she likes the one I found

Would there be any chance of finding a bungalow even nearer do you think ? It would be so convenient for both of you if your mum was in the same village or town, especially as she gets older. Being closer would make it easier to do a bit of shopping or housework for her. Just a thought. Hope things work out well for you both whatever you decide. xx

she couldnt afford a bungalow near us. A bit disappointing as she tried to arrange viewing and cant be done until next week. I phoned as well just to check and it seems somebody is interested but they need to arrange a mortgage where as my mum just needs to sell her bungalow. Wonder which one would be the quickest.

If your Mum is meant to have that bungalow things will work out for her and if not, it wasn't the right one and something else will come up I am sure. I hope where ever your Mum moves to she is happier and able to have more visitors. Maybe looking for sheltered housing is a better bet, you don't have to buy so she could put her name down and sell at her leisure. Are there any places closer to you? Liz
