Csarina........it makes me so MAD when people don't appreciate their parents...........I have none and even at the grand old age of 44 I wish I did have! You are reacting to this situation with pride and dignity, and not a small amount of sheer guts, so you can sure hold your head up high! And the offer will still stand. Take Care!

csarina, good luck in your new home. What goes around comes around, so maybe your SS will realise he can't treat people like this.

We were doing well with the couple of debts we have but now due to an avaricious landlord (my stepson) we have to move which means I will have to use my overdraft facility. I looked hard at taking out a loan but decided against it as I think we can clear the overdraft within 12 months when we will be quite a bit better off and will maybe be able to overpay on our commitments and finish them early.

We were very lucky that we got the offer of an apartment in a sheltered community, but have to carpet it, pay movers and pay for various bits and bobs we will need. It also means we are moving from a 2 bed house to a one bed apartment. Shock horror, what happens to my sewing room?????

Laundry is included and also the apartment has a cooker built in, cannot get a dishwasher in so this week we have sold, 1)the cooker.2) dishwasher. 3) small freezer. 4) desk top computer and today we have done a boot sale to get rid of things left from our caravanning days and various unused things from the house. This will pay for the carpets, but this laptop has about had it so I have shelled out £400 for a new one. The desk top has had its hard disc cleaned ready to go to its new home. The washing machine will go in a couple of weeks when we get the keys to our new abode and I can use the washing facilities.

Our rent will be a little less than we pay now, but we do have security of tenancy for as long as we need it, and the rent will only ever go up with the cost of living........not by £125 a month as SS asked for. We are aware that when we move out the house will be gutted and the rent will then go up to £550 a month!!!!!!!!! £200 more than we pay now.

We will work as hard as we can to get the overdraft down as quick as possible, I am lucky that I have an account which has a big limit, we have never had to use it before, but really feel that we do not have a choice in this instance.

That really wasn't necessary. People use this forum for advice as well as to blow off some steam.
