so can i ask Joanne , when did you first come into contact with Craigie,How did you two "meet" (so to speak) ? when was your name put onto the offical paperwork for JOA , When did you become aware of this ? If you had signed no papers, what did Kevin Craigie say when you told him you were aware that you were on there?
It was on facebook. I cannot remember the exact times but I could look at old mail and tell you when we first started messaging if you want. At the time, I was trying to deal with the things I was scared of one of which was the fear of getting arrested for a crime I hadn't done because it had happened to my friend David.
I have never seen him face to face, I've never factimed him or webcamed him etc.
I don't know when my name went on the JOA paperwork, I remember him (Kevin) meeting Darren Bolger, I phoned one day while Darren was there and phoned back. I had a brief chat about committees in the begining but I didn't think anymore of it, we did have an indepth chat about possible funding and I sent him a list of people to approach-I don't know if he ever contacted them.
I was the carer for my Grandfather (Eric), I got Carers allowence on underlying benefits (about £15 a week), last September Eric (after a long spell in hospital and a half way house) went into a nursing home and my father (who hadn't had any input until then) wanted power of attourney (but it wasn't simple because by then Eric had been diagnosed with dementia), so I handed all his financial details over, I'd spent Erics money during the 2 years I'd been caring for him, so my Dad hit the roof and said he was calling the bank and the police, so at this point I called Kevin and said it might be as well that if I was indeed listed as a committee member it might not look good even though I hadn't done anything wrong. Kevin said it was ok. The police and bank's fraud unit NEVER got in touch and my dad later said he said it because he was annoyed and I had reittereated that when Eric died I would cover the cost of the funeral which I did. The only mistake I made was not keeping a running tally and receipts.
