I had to move out when Dad moved job, him, Mum and my sisters moved to another city.
I was working in a good job, getting married the next year, we had bought a flat but it was not fit to live in at that point.
I found a room with an old lady looking for a little bit extra money, really only bed & breakfast, I had most of my evening meals at John`s, when I was with her for meals I made them.
When our son was 21 and earning good money, we told him that he could stay till he was 23 then he should start looking for a place of his own to get on the property ladder.
He moved out to live not far from us when he was 24, stayed on his own for a few years, moving house for better a place.
When he met Audrey, they bought a house out in the country, did it up, married and moved in.
