What the chaotic end of year is this?

SO turned out I didn't get 'Christmassed' this year and chaos ensued in the run up to the holidays...   I was prepped to record a Christmas Eve words of wisdom podcast with my Mum and instead I'd had a full day of everything happening at once. So I used the pod as an excuse for some Mum wisdom... I explained everything that was happening and asked for her advice.   We're talking Banks lending less than promised on commercial but more on residential Should I use additional lending to pay my tax bill? Can NatWest block payments from tenants I don't want to accept rent from? How to deal with last minute rent collection when I sound like I'm playing Christmas Scams Why my new lender 'Mr Cooper' left one of our properties uninsured. Plus more things that happened along the way
