    'I agreed to help someone buy essentials, but when we got to the checkout...'

    What a kind lady you are ? You had the best of intentions however I believe she was a scammer. I’m not so sure I would have agreed to letting her shop with me.

    Would it be unreasonable to put a lock on my bedroom door?

    I don’t understand your problem. No don’t put a lock on the door,let them sleep wherever they want. They are doing you a favour,regardless if they are looking at it as a mini holiday. Clean sheets on the beds ready for their stay and I’m sure they will put clean sheets on the beds for when you...

    Is it unreasonable to ask for a fifth of my mum's inheritance?

    I thinks it’s a loving thing you have been doing for your Nan, as it seems she doesn’t have any support else where. However it’s a shame your loving devotion to your Nan has now been swapped out for the almighty dollar. Shame on you ,poor Nan 🤬
