    Hmmm.... The plot thickens. Parents caring for their children? Crazy idea, but it might catch on!

    If you've ever had to care for a disabled child 24/7, you'll know the benefit of having some respite. Sometimes the most important thing is to have someone else to be on hand overnight so that you can get a good night's sleep.

    Well, the shortfall applicable to 1 extra room will be about £14 a week, or £2 a night. Money well spent, I'd say. And some poor sod living in a B+B would be equally grateful of a good nights sleep too!
