Good Morning Wednesday 14th September 2022

Good afternoon,

It’s a dull day weather wise now in South Yorkshire and not quite as warm.

Been busy fettling downstairs, making a couple of spiders homeless, and generally reaching into all the nooks and crannies for a good clean. Just stopped for coffee, then onwards and upwards, whilst I feel motivated to do it.

I’m sorry to hear that your daughter had such an uncomfortable and long wait at the hospital yesterday Gingster and hope that she is now settled on the ward. A distressing time for you all.

Well, I hope the afternoon goes well for you all. Take care.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

Good afternoon all, I'm looking for some advice, for the last 8 years I had been sporting my father and step mother due to health issues. My stepmother developed memory loss and after many years she was becoming distressed and a danger to herself. My father was unable to care for her and she went to nursing care home which have amazing support staff . I had been 3rd party on bank account and done their finances for years , sadly this year my father passed away . I have kept contact with my stepmother and I'm next of kin so when she needs anything I have no problem at all to help her . My father didn't make any arrangements will ect because he asked myself to sort everything out after his death. Now due to his death and step mother not having the ability to understand I am no longer able to access the bank account on her behalf. I've spoken to the bank and explained all this but was unable to discuss the matter as I'm no longer 3rd party, please can anyone explain what I need to do next in this situation. Xx

You probably need to redo your post on a separate thread, Paulaw - post it under “Ask a gran” or “Legal, pensions and money”
