Have you actually been to visit any rental properties yet Mark? There are plenty in Manchester. Somewhere in the country that is local and easy to move to! ;-)
Some time ago now I suggested "Right Move" and told you there were several house-shares available in Chorlton. Did you view them? They aren't listed any more, but they have been replaced by other similar ones.
I have just posted some links on your facebook, to properties that are available locally NOW, and all for the sort of rent you told me you could afford. One of them (the first I posted) includes all bills and internet in the price!
There are places to rent, within your budget. And, if you are moving locally, there are people who will help you move your stuff.
All you have to do is go see somewhere and put your name down for it. Why not take the first property I put on your FB timeline, just for now, and then re-group once you are there to think about what you want to do long term?
Sorry , diidn't mean to come across as sarcastic . You must have misunderstood me when we met, £300 *was* my remaining pension - some commitments, It's gone up now I'm 55, I know HB will help but the less I'm dependent the better
I've been to a few locally within the range, nothing yet to match.
Spent most of time sorting flat out keep finding another cupboards worth to tackle
I hope that you will find a place to regroup - and right now, 'regrouping' sounds like the thing you need, before you jump into the cold water again: so you can count your income, decide what you need in your accommodation (size, location, facilities), and not make hasty decisions.
If you haven't, contact your local council, so you can get on the housing list and speak to a housing officer to see if they can help you.

Maximum I could allow is £200 , £250 at a pinch with some bills.

But last time we talked you said you could afford £300 if needed. And the first place on my list was less than that including bills.
I very much doubt you will get a room in a house for less than £50 a week plus bills. And if your pension won't cover that then benefits will.
Where is the harm in going to see the first place I linked to? or the others. You can always haggle over price.

Some links that might be of help:
Zoopla properties from £50-60/week
http://www.spareroom.co.uk and http://www.housepals.co.uk also offer a number of rooms - I hope you find something suitable soon.
