    Hi TD , no we have rescheduled , life gets complicated.
    Mother is 92 and going down hill fast. Doesn't like foreigners ! Wouldn't come to my wedding (7 yrs ago ) and doesn't want to see my wife, ever again.
    She has become a silly old bat , but what can I do, its my mother. I go shopping for her once a week.
    I should just walk away but she is on her last legs and I know if I leave now it would hurt a lot, and because she bought me into this world I'm going to maintain the status quo, but the end of this year I will be back in LOS, next year we need to be building. Lets be serious non of us have too long left anyhow, I reckon about 15 to 20 yrs max !
    My wife is fantastic and fully supports me, brilliant little lady.

    Too old to Rock 'N' Roll :

    Too young to Die !

    I hear you DM... my mum is coming 91 next month... but shes in UK and I am here in UAE and I live in Thailand, not UK. She's OK with that, we keep in touch as best as possible. other family are there so she's not without support. I too thought about putting stuff on hold, quitting the job and going back to UK but probably, my mum would be 'what are you doing still here!!?' after a few days. She's got used to living on her own and does not like people fussing after her!!

    That fits in with my plans too... I really could not wait for the house any more... its started now with reasonable control even though I'm not there with it.

    If i had quit and gone back, maybe the house would not have started for another 2-3 years.... oh..and I would have got stung for a years worth of personal taxation too after 90 days.

    I'm building with her full support, BTW. Mum's want to see their kids settled, right!?
