A Christmas market shopper was left baffled by the eye watering cost of a £57 pick and mix goodie bag she picked up at a stall, the Mirror reports. The gobsmacked mother said she put half of the sweets back but was still charged £26 for the new amount of the normal sized bag.
Mum and four kids facing homelessness before Christmas after partner's death to cancer
28.11.2022 - 22:13 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A grieving mum fears her family is facing homelessness before Christmas after being evicted following the sudden death of her partner.
Sarah Ryan and four children - who are aged four to 13 - have been told to leave their home in Droylsden, Greater Manchester, after her partner died in August from a short battle with cancer. The pair had been together for 17 years prior to his tragic death.
Sarah said they were told by their council that due to the waiting list for a house, her family would be put into a hotel without cooking facilities indefinitely.
The 36-year-old told the Manchester Evening News : "We are homeless. The stress of it all is making me ill. My mental health is deteriorating and my son has learning difficulties so he's really struggling.
"I have spoken to Tameside Council and they are so backlogged that I won't be on the system for months. They are saying I'll likely have to be placed in an emergency hotel with no cooking facilities where I could stay for up to two years."
Sarah's partner, Michael Grey, was diagnosed with retroperitoneal sarcoma - a rare type of cancer - in the summer of 2021 and was told the illness would be terminal.
Sarah added: "He started having hip pain in July last year but when he went to the doctors they did blood tests but they were normal. They thought it might be IBS so gave him a CT scan which revealed he had a tumour that was 16.5cm in length. It had already killed one of his kidneys and doctors were unable to operate.
"After his second round of chemotherapy they did another scan and it showed that the tumour had doubled and he had months to live. I was looking after four kids whilst being his carer."
Michael died on August 23 this year, leaving behind his devastated partner
