Sis was almost suicidal over this. B-i-L is now living in a caravan after being kicked out by his new GF (sis did take him back at one point but then he did the dirty on her again).<\/p>\n<p>February, work going through a reorganisation and was told I had been put on a short list of people to go. Managed to scrape through this though still have the potential of being let go hanging over my head.<\/p>\n<p>March, knock on the door by policeman. Long story short Dad&#8217;s brother had been found dead in his house when police broke in following call from the neighbours. Apart from Mum I was his only living relative so had to sort everything out, clear the house, pay the bills, etc.<\/p>\n<p>March, Mum had had a bad back for a while and was finally persuaded to go to the doctors. Following two months of back and forth with the hospital she was finally diagnosed with cancer. Hospital essentially refused to treat the cancer because of the secondaries so she came home and I looked after her until she died in June.<\/p>\n<p>April, letter from my mortgage company threatening to withdraw my mortgage as I wasn&#8217;t resident in the mortgaged property. I was living at my Mum&#8217;s house nursing her. Wrote back and explained but heard nothing since.<\/p>\n<p>June started having problems with my boiler. The gas man said yes there were some problems with it but nothing life threatening so leave it until it actually breaks. Finally broke down two days before New Year&#8217;s Eve and can&#8217;t get the man out until next week so now have sod all heating and no hot water!<\/p>\n<p>November brother went on holiday and &quot;disappeared&quot;. He finally contacted me week before Christmas saying he couldn&#8217;t cope with Christmas without Mum being there but he does plan to come back when he has the money for a plane ticket. Because of all the expenses I&#8217;ve dealt with I have no money spare!<\/p>\n<p>Two days before New Year&#8217;s Eve other sister was diagnosed with a blood clot which she is now being treated for.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and to top it all off my drains have blocked but again no money to get someone to unblock. Can&#8217;t borrow any money from the bank as don&#8217;t think I could pay it back plus any bills and mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully once the solicitors my Uncle appointed as his executors pull their fingers out I&#8217;ll be in less of a bind financially, assuming they don&#8217;t take much of the proceeds in fees&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping 2010 is a vast improvement on 2009!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>January, B-i-L left my sister after 25 years of marriage for a younger woman.
