Thank you NapalmKev for this information.

Things may be worse than I thought. I contacted what I assumed was a company that had a life insurance policy and they can't find it. Now I was told it might be lost in the system and that I need to send a copy of the bank statement with the direct debit showing but if they can't find it well... There is nothing to bury my mother with. I am still awaiting my passport without which I cannot open a bank account... Ahgh!

Well finally got mother's death certificate. Monday is going to be hectic with phone calls as I try to explain to 4 catalogue companies and a credit card company that not only is my mother dead but the "estate" is totally in flux and no, there will be no more money to clear her accounts.

Thank you so much Barrington Boots.

Just found a phone message from the registry office, they now cannot process my mothers death certificate because they now don't have her medical certificate. When they called my first they said they had everything needed and all I had to do is turn up.

I had one appointment and they were apparently ready then to process the certificate the so WTF?
Will have to wait for their call tomorrow to see what happens next.

AND I got a letter from the housing benefit office saying "we don't accept applications for an increase in your benefit until October 2024"

The Landlord should know this because this is what happened last time.

There is one thing I would ask someone urgently to do for me.

I donated £2.500 per month to this charity.

https://www.mrlumpyandfriends.com/donate

I can't do that anymore. Can some kind soul subscribe?

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.
