He now can’t go back to CA until his visa is sorted because he left, so, they are madly looking for a house to buy so he can live in it and it will be a bolt hole when they are not travelling. She will be doing a fortnight here and a fortnight in CA until March when the intention is a few months stay here with kids in tow.
Once she comes over permanently it will be a rental investment for them and they will buy a bigger family home.
I have been dragged in to help, oh happy days

Sounds like you'll be a busy little bee Smudge. I bet you have fun. Xx
