    Put OH in the shed with a sleeping bag, kettle and small portable TV.

    Sorted.

    It used to be possible to get a grant for a stairlift - subject to certain criteria. Check with local Occupational Therapists.

    Alternatively, bear in mind that you will one day suffer with knee problems too, so the option of a bungalow may be a good one.

    Have a look at a few bungalows within budget and see what you think.

    Getting/buying a stairlift is not the problem.

    OH wants a bungalow, I want to stay where I am.

    Convince me to move.
    Your problem. Sort it with your OH. Don't bother us until you and your OH are in agreement.

    Why should we convince you to move? It's you and your OH who have to deal with this. Only you two know how strongly you each feel about the two options.

    This is a moneysaving site, not an agony aunt column. Give us the costs of each and we'll comment.

    And therefore as the bungalow appears to be the cheaper option you should move to the bungalow.

    Gosh, are you sure you're retired? Sounds like the strop of a teenager.

    How devoted are you to your OH? If mobility is a big deal and a bungalow is better then there shouldn't even be a question. As you have deleted your post I don't know what your issue is. Was it that you didn't want to move from your present home?
    Moving can be a wrench but needs must...
    Why don't you like bungalows? Have you tried house hunting yet?

    I wondered what had happened to the original post. All I'm getting is "Goodbye cruel world".........!

    Of course not having central heating in the current home might be another reason the OH wants to move.......
