Tracker Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 During a visit to my doctor, I asked him, "How do you determine whether or not an older person should be put in an old age home?" "Well," he said, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the person to empty the bathtub." "Oh, I understand," I said. "A normal person would use the bucket because it is bigger than the spoon or the teacup." "No" he said. "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?"

French Budget hotels start from well under 30€ on Sunday and Monday night I stayed in a 'Formule 1' in Limoges, cost 53€ all together not per night work it out that's 26.50€ per night. have a look here http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/booking/hotels-list.shtml and that cost will allow 3 people to sleep in the room so its from 8.33€ per person per night.
