So it looks like our plan to downsize in wiltshire has taking a strange twist. My OH hates his (well paid but extremely stressful) job and is in danger of losing the plot entirely if he stays there. The rent on where we live now is too high for us to stay there if he doesn't earn that much and there are no jobs out there that pay as well that he is qualified to do. We had been hoping to move to Wiltshire in the summer when our current lease is up but now don't think we can wait that long and we don't have the savings to fund a move at the moment.
Sooo, some friends of ours (a couple) have just moved into the house of the blokes mother (she lives in Spain) which is quite big but in Epsom (back out of the countryside
). They have said that we can live there with them for a few months, the rent would be virtually non existant, I'd be closer to work, OH could get a new job, we could both save, we'd be closer to all our friends and the cat would have some company (they have an old moggy and one of our Kittens was hit by a car recently so the other is pining).Downsides are that there is only one bathroom and toilet (can see early morning rows!), we'd be back in an area we were glad to get away from just over a year ago, we'd have to put a lot of stuff in storage and two couples living together seems a recipe for disaster.
I just wanted to get opinions for folks who are completely out of the situ.
What do think? Go for it?
