Update from a while ago

[Brian2]

Hello everyone.
It's been a while since I made an entry on here so I hope you remember me. I had been my Mum's carer for four years and have had some great advice, all taken and mostly successful. Thank you all for you contributions. Mum went into a home in July last year in Beckenham, Kent, leaving me up the creek without a paddle really, as I was only living with Mum whilst she was there. When she left, I was given my marching orders. I was given a month to find somewhere, but alas I didn't, so the very nice man at the Housing Association gave me a temporary contract instead of the tenancy and did my search for me. My months notice stretched to October 22nd, when my housing manager made me an offer of a studio flat in Penge, SE London. I was chauffered the eight miles there and back, and as it was only a mile away from where Mum now lives, I accepted it. That was not the end of my good fortune either. The Housing Manager arranged and funded my move without me lifting a finger or paying a penny. Some of you may remember the problems I was having getting services for Mum and lots of other things that I have forgotten, but I am now settled in my flat, still unemployed, but it shows to never give up hope. You really don't know what is around the corner. Good luck everyone. Take care, Brian
