tj. just ignore the woman. i've been ignoring my m-i-l for a very long time..
i offered to financially back her right to buy on her council house a few years back, & in effect become her landlord, till she'd paid off the mortgage, which was very low... like £15k for a large 2 bed house, but she decided not to, cos when she rings the council to fix something, they send a bloke out within a couple of days... and i'm 40 mins drive away & its a decent road, so i'd fix it on the spot....so she & her hubby, who is actually 5 years younger than me, have neither a pot to piss in nor a window to throw it out of, and they have no savings & she is retired, and i offered them a house with about £100k equity for them to play with, and she turned it down.
