Thanks sooz,

Once again your advice (all of it) has been a great help. I was lost when i posted a message and then could not get on the forum for a few days. you know, this is goin to ound weird but as a person i don;t realy do anything for myself and my treat is buying a new (OK, but large) new Xmas light to stick in the front garden. I have spent the last few days looking and then I have to remind myself that it is something else I'll need to take with me. The one thing i have been looking forward to all year has gone. Still, the other half of me is thinking that maybe I'll have a better shaped garden to put it in next year!! Always think positive. It's daft, but little tiny things are getting me through this and the hard thing (if I am really very honest with myself here) is trying to be nice to my mum and pretend everything is OK when I don;t really feel it. We have never been super close like some of my friends are with their parents but I like to think she could look back and have thought that anything I could have done to help her, I have done to help her - this is what I am finding hard. But, all said and done, this COULD well be done with by early March and it'll be time to start afresh and new. The other thing is closing my business - at least until we have somewhere that I can work from - is going to be hard for me but I am looking on it at the extra time I can spend with the kids and getting some early nights, reading books, things I have not done for a while. I can still keep one small piece of my business open, Safe Store have a service where they will take in deliveries so temporarily my business can run from there with my 'to order for you' service - half of which I do now so it is not the end of the world and I'll still be able to do something (albeit not a lot) and that will pay for some of the storage because the business will be using it and therefore I can offset SOME of the costs of the storage. I think i have more or less the same business storage as household, plus I still have a big van from where I used to do my market stall as well so we don't have to pay for removals Anything we don;t want to take with us we will either shove on eBay or car boot fortnightly to get rid of some stuff. I am looking at the positive side and not the negatives. I beleive that everything in life is for a reason - even if we cannot see it for the short term, there is a reason for this happening now and something good is waiting for us around the corner - I am not expecting it today, tomorrow or next month, but the good is there and even if it takes a year of being in a hostel/temporay accomodation (averages on their website are 3-41 weeks) I know that something good will come out of this in the long term. Maybe a council tenant in the area will buy mums house 9as it will go cheap) and we will get their house. As long as it is not my neighbours.... their house is an absolute tip and they abuse the fact they get it for 'free'. Which really makes me cross as well, some people just do not appreciate what they have been given and nor do they look after it - but that is another story.

I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks again in all of this and for the advice you have given, it really is very much appreciated. xx

PS. Tesco vouchers, tesco bleed me dry, LOL, everything comes from Tesco, clothes, food, specs, insurances. I use all the couchers that get sent to me and everyone (that i can give it to) gets wine for Xmas presents!! I never ever shop without trying to see if there is a valid extra points coupon about to use. We do try and utilise all the free points coupons - but that is why we get them isn't it? So that Tesco can get all of our business!!

Glad to hear that you are sounding more positive. There is light at the end of that long tunnel...eventually...I promise!

you sound like a very strong and determined woman - you will get thru this - and with your positive outlook i am sure you will get joy in the next phase in your life - we can all find joy if we look hard enough

Brian Keenan was given an orange for the first time in 3 years into his Lebanon captivity - and the guards tried to take it away a couple of days later as he had not eaten it - he wanted to taste it, but, he just wanted to look at it even more - as the only colour he had seen for 3 years was grey - grey walls and grey floors and no other colour - he almost wept when the orange went mouldy and the guards took it away

he found succour and joy in that one fruit for many many weeks - we should all count our blessings

good luck to you

It would be ideal if your Mum could sell to an investor who would want to let the property. With you already there, you would make ideal tenants and you sound the sort of people who who happily allow the investor to improve the property while you are living there.
