I have posted a few times in the last month about downsizing, moving in with son etc and I have finally reached a decision. I am so thankful to you all for responding and giving me your opinions on my dilemma. For the first time in my entire 60 years I have had to make a decision on my own (husband of 40 years died just before Xmas), and as I have no friends at all it has been dreadful. Your opinions/helpful insights have really helped. I have decided to move into a bungalow because I am still in the same town, near one of my three sons and it frees up as much capital as possible. So once again many thanks to you all.
