My gran lived with us as a fairly young family in NZ, and I won't deny there weren't some tensions - but we also got a lot out of it too (she was a marvellous cook - chocolate caramel squares, anyone?). You will make it work - and if not, we'll all just move into Jim's
LOL, it's a big old Victorian Semi Vicky, our bedroom is upstairs in the old servants quarters in the roof, there would have been five main bedrooms on the middle floor, but one was converted into a bathroom and toilet. Colleen tells me that in Victorian times the fron bedroom would actually have been the sitting room, it's the biggest room in the house. Downstairs we have a dining room, breakfast room, sitting room, kitchen and utility. All large rooms with 16' ceilings.
Oh yes, she has no problem with that Vicky, she doesn't like posting pics and stuff in public areas, but she's OK when I do it because she understands how proud I am of the weight I've lost, and she's well pleased with that as well.
will she come along and meet us? be nice if she does
well, we can't offer MIL such grandness in our humble cottage, but we do have lots of outside room and lovely views, and peace and quiet.
we'll rub along together nicely!
