'I’ve got three grandchildren but I haven’t a clue what they've been doing, because I’m just taking whatever work I can,' says Lynda Hanson, from Fairlight, East Sussex
I’ve been trying to re-mortgage the house, but at my age, I can now see that I’m not going to get another mortgage. So the only option would be to sell, but because I wouldn’t be able to buy another place, I’d be. With the equity I’ve got of £50k on the house, I know that the money wouldn’t last long, especially once I’m paying rent, plus bills, and food.
It’s a difficult position, and all this time I’ve been trying to find the best way around it. I think the best thing to do it is still to try to hang on to my home, if I can. I thought at this age, 73, I might have more time, but as my mortgage has gone up, I’ve started taking on as many cleaning jobs as I can, with every penny going towards the mortgage. With the mortgage rise, I’ve got no extra money at all, so I’m just trying to get as much work as I possibly can to keepI’ve now taken on work from Monday to Friday and sometimes I do an eight-hour day. Sometimes I have to work Saturday and Sunday too.
I’ve got three grandchildren who I love to spend time with but I haven’t a clue what they’ve been doing over the past few months. I’ve lost touch with everybody and everything, because I’m just taking whatever work I can. There are people in much worse situations than me, but this isn’t how I thought things would be at this point in my life. I think that the manager of the Bank of England needs to be sacked. I don’t think they realise exactly what’s happening with the country and the people trying to keep their homes.
