Well tomorrow I will be contacting the MacMillan tomorrow. I can't be the only person they have had to deal with in my situation. I hope they can help.

I am sorting out things into three piles and am planning to go again to a local charity shop to dispose of things which I know are of use... but I doubt will sell. A slow and awkward process as I have no transport and have to load up a trolley and travel by bus.

Things that are mine and need to keep.

Things that are fit for resale. I need every penny.

Thinks to be disposed of. Either going to charity shops or into the rubbish bin.

So a friend upset me yesterday. Told me that I would be better off taking what goods I could and just... walking away from the flat and not even going ahead with the plans to cremate my mother.

His reasoning is that I need every penny I process and shouldn't waste what I will receive from my mothers life insurance policy on disposing of her remains.

That will not be happening even if I have to crowd fund to do the right thing ... That's what I will do.

Need a bank account first though. I have been told by the passport office that my application is going ahead normally so... there is that.

Still worried that I will have nothing for next months rent and I could use the time. I am 100% certain that I will be homeless come the 12th of next month and without funds of any kind.

And poor Adrian has become allergic to nuts... especially peanuts. He loved peanuts. 

I could  walk away and live with Henry but... well I wouldn't see my friends ever again and his dogs might tear Dorian to pieces.

Adrian was allowed to go home yesterday. He didn't arrive back until half past Ten. Adrian's tremors have improved. No further blackouts yet. No Idea why he has them unless it's an exceptionally rare symptom of Parkinson's.  He has been given a working key safe and one of those emergency button alarms.

As for me unless I can get some help I will be homeless come the middle of next month. I will be collecting Mothers Death certificate on the 28th. Then there will be closing accounts and finding out just how much dept I have to pay.

[Adrian has officially been diagnosed with Parkinson's... even though there is no family history (as far as he knows.) He has started treatment and it seems to be working. However now the Doctors have to figure out his blackouts... In a way they are more worrying. He seems to operate on auto pilot which so far hasn't lead him into trouble but how long can that last.

Thanks for your kind words. But I really am worried about my cat. Dorian is 6 years old. I can't give him up. I just can't.

font=Times New Roman]OK "makes TARDIS noise"

Mother died early hours of yesterday morning. Not that the Hospital has told me. I heard 2nd hand from my cousin. (And isn't that wrong?)

Mother told me that all the required paperwork to deal with her death would be found in her chair pocket. There is nothing. She said that she wanted no service. We really really can't afford it. Said she wanted the Pure Cremations option. Mother was an organized woman. I thought she would have taken out a policy with them. I can find nothing. That means I have got to find the money for the service. That is if they will accept a payment up front.

Mother owes money. We were confidently told that Mother would probably live for another 2 years. The Doctor I spoke to (And should of recorded) Clearly indicated that her death was caused indirectly from her prolonged hospital stay... which means I will now have to pay back the carers allowance I was finally granted.

I estimate the dept is around £2500. I can't find evidence of any life insurance policy.

I paid this moths rent so I have a roof over my head until the second week of January. After that I will probably be homeless So dose anyone  have a large shed me and Dorian can live in? We were made homeless once and the place we were housed in was so awful at least 2 people have committed suicide.

I can cook, clean and do light gardening. All my qualifications

I have no ID. I was going to apply for a Passport next year as I now have the money to do so. And I had the time to do so. Or so I thought. So no money... even if I qualified for any form of benefits.



So I am f**ked.

Oh and Adrian is currently in hospital. He has had blackouts and has been severely trembling. He is not a drinker and the probable cause even though there is no family history is that he has contracted Parkinson's.

Merry bloody Christmas to us.[/font]

[/size]Thank you so much Shark (If a may be so informal) I estimate from what happened to Henry when his mother died that I probably have a month to clear everything after she dies. Perhaps a little more as it's Christmas. [/size]

Well now it would seem that everything is suspended. I got a call from the hospital about a couple of hours ago. Mother is not responding to oxygen treatment because her lungs are failing. This is because she has lung cancer that had spread so treatment would only be palliative.  We were told she would have had more time than this. I will keep you folks informed.

Sorry... Sueing is probably the wrong word. Lots of people have said I should persue a no win no fee option because they are as much in the dark as I am about how to proceed. I have voiced my concerns to people in our council and their reaction is to tut, agree and offer no help at all. I also have the issue that as my mother is fully in charge of her faculties  it would be HER who will have to start any complaint. And I know my mother She is somewhat... paranoid. Not mental health need action paranoid but certainly of the "Don't complain or they will put you on a list and you'll get worse treatment!" Paranoid. I was just asking to see if anyone has complained about their Doctors surgery and if they thought it was worth it.
