Hi there
I know that it is very late at night but my name is Margaret and I thought I might use this mighty Internet thing for a bit of help with my situation please hang in their with me as I'm not very good at this type of thing.
I am a 54 year old woman with sever arthritis and after working hard for most of my life I had to go quit a job I loved and went on illness benefit about 6 years ago (which is frustrating in itself) my partner John passes away three years ago from a heart attack and after 30 years together there was no widows pension to help me along, he was protestant and I was catholic, and that was one lover argument we could never settle, so we never married.
Things got hard when I discovered he had allot of debt on the side with some very unsavoury characters so being who we were and my life being what it was I used my little nest egg of a life savings to pay things off and set it all to rest.
Then last year I had to move out of our home (which turned out his first cousin inherited) and I moved into a council house.
Right now I have no debt what so ever (as I've never had loans or things like that) and because I spend what money I have beyond my food, rent and electricity on silly things or helping someone out I have no savings.
The council recently moved me into a one bedroom semi detached which suits me very well as its easy to keep with a wet room and I can get around very easily.
My problem is there is a horrible horrible stained and depressing kitchen in it.
I am unsure what the last keeps of the house were like but its absolutely horrible and seeing as the council have deemed it acceptable (though they did comment it was in a very bad state, just not bad enough for them to change) I want to explore the options of getting a small loan.
I live a very quite life so after my weekly spendable I have 60 to “play with” (which I usually spend on my nephews and family, which god love them are having a very hard financial time themselves right now with a recent redundancy and traffic accident) and am hoping to put that on the loan weekly.
I have gotten some good quotes and can get a very decent fitted kitchen in for 2 and a half grand with 500 left over to cover any unexpected costs (or put back onto the loan).
Can anyone help me with this?
Is there any loan opportunities for someone in my financial or personal situation?
I really would be very grateful as not only is this something that is really starting to dishearten me I really would like to make this a home, life is top short to end up bitter with what's happened and losing my home after John rest his good soul, so I would really like to get this done and start having my own place again.
Thank you and I welcome any and all suggestions.
God bless and thank you for reading.
