Thank you all so very much. I am putting this all to one side until after xmas. Then me and mine will start looking round to see what we can find, Im more worried about the sorting out the loft than i am about moving, lol. i have lived here for 23yrs, so you can imagine the amount of stuff that has been put up there over the years. Its not a situation i would have chosen to be in, but i count my blessings when i read some of the threads on here. Shirley Ann.

Shirley Sorry to hear of your troubles. Does your Council have an Affordable Homes Scheme? I think it would be in your favour that you sold your previous home, without being forvced to, in order to honour your debts - not many people do that. Also, your previous mortgage company should look on you favourably too (but I bet they don't!) I was in a grotty, privately-rented flat for years and absolutely despaired of ever getting out of it, I thought I would die there. Someone put me onto 'Non Status' Mortgages, and although they charged 1% more than the High Street rate, after two years I was able to remortgage. As everyone else has said 'something will turn up'. I was briefly homeless years ago, with a small daughter. A friend of a friend offered me her house for six months while she was abroad - she didnt even know me! Try to enjoy your Christmas and not to worry about it (difficult, I know). Olde Crone

hi twinny,babe what can i say!!!!ive not read any replies yet,u must be worried sick.do you have private housing much where u live.u have my email ,mail me anytime,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyour other half

God Bless you Shirley ......you do so much for others and what goes around comes around you can be sure. Look forward to the future no matter what. The support you've had on here proves that folk do really 'care'. I was in similar position some years ago and nearly lost my home. Thanks to CAB I kept it. Took some years to pay off my debts but I did it . I kept my house and now look after young people in care and currently have one who's returned to us as he was homeless.

omg shirley im so sad to hear this, your right it could happen to any of us, its so easy done, getting into debt just trying to survive these days and help make others lives better, and always a worry, you have my understanding and thoughts are with you, hope things work out

Shirley anne you are in my thoughts love

My dear Mum used to say the same, she would say you waste all that time worrying, and it all works out in the end. So i refuse to worry about it, as im sure things will work out. Thank you Shirley Ann.

What wonderful parents you are Shirley. I do hope something turns up in the New Year and you all get sorted out. When I was younger and things were going wrong my Dad used to say 'Don't worry something always turns up' and do you know it does. So chin up and I hope my Dads words work for you Take Care Germaine x

Thank you all so much, there really are some lovely people on this board and i am amazed by your kindness. Thank you Bendy for mailing me. NOW you lot, its CHRIMBLE, so lets not be sad. things will be ok because i will make sure they are . ho ho ho. Still not heard from Liz and Phil from the old palace yet, but if the corgis are not house trained then i would have to turn them down anyway. Shirley Ann.

Shirley - I am sad to read of your problems and be sure if I won the lotto you would be first on my list to help - you are the salt of the earth and these problems are not of your making or your greed, they are thrust on you by the evil actions of others. I hope your son's health improves and that something good happens for you very soon. Liz

Probably warmer in the tent - I've heard they are a bit tight-fisted AND the corgis are rumoured not to be completely house-trained - could be a bad influence on your dog Beth :)

Deana, my son looses consentration a lot, and this gets on his nerves a bit, he still gets depressed at times, and have problems with the eye where he had to have his eye socket rebuilt, but to look at him you would never know that he has had all this done to him, he has metal plates in his cheeks, also each side of his jaw, and another above his other eye. but he is still a handsome man. so in that respect he was lucky. Thank you all for your kind thoughts,and well wishes, who knows i might get an invite from Elizebeth and Philip to go and stay with them, after all they have plenty of room at the palace. lol. Shirley Ann.

Shirley, Whenever I see a homeless person I always think 'there but for the grace of God go anyone of us'. Your story goes to prove how right that saying is. No-one wants to be homeless and it is usually a series of events that spiral out of control. I am sure your story will have a happy ending. You live with the knowledge that no-one could have done more for their son. Good luck to you and I hope there are only blue skies ahead. Jean x.

That is the spirt Shirley - fighting spirit! they can have you bricks and our cash , but they cant touch your dignity- good for you! Jess x

What a wonderful, positive attitude! I understand the point you're trying to make. Many years ago I was unexpectedly homeless for a while with 2 small children, and you're right, it can happen to anyone. I'll be thinking of you and yours and trusting that things will work out well in the end. xox

I hope all goes well for you. How is your son now? It is a long time till April, anything good could happen. Deanna X
