When Michael and Paula asked Bob on November 4th, if the 2 youngest girls (Fifi was in boarding school) could go to Australia for a 6 week trial, returning to the UK for Christmas. They discussed tutoring and the length of time they'd stay and Paula said that she and Michael were "Ecstatic" that Bob AGREED. Michaels financial advisor, Colin Diamond would later reveal in an interview in 1998, that the agreement included to loan Bob the 35k to remove the bankruptcy caution in exchange for allowing the girls to go. Paula also explains the financial deal in section 6 of her police statement. Bob couldn't go back on the deal or else he'd lose the money, however, he knew that the court child therapist could cancel it, and the money promise wouldn't be impacted. Bob made the request for the court therapist to retract the offer just one day later on Nov 5th, BUT according to Paula, she didn't receive this notice until Nov 12th and for some reason Bob didn't bother telling her he was changing his mind, all the while the kids, she and Michael were getting ready for the trip. Paula got a court appointment for November 21st, but at the meeting they said it was adjourned until December 17th. Although, she could leave to be with Michael she decided to stay in London. The fact Paula choose to stay in London, when she could have visited Michael without Pixie and Peaches, would be questioned in articles and biographies after his suicide. Later journalist's claimed that the court cancellation of the trial trip to Australia was a done deal where it was ordered by the court child therapist, and the court appointment was just a discussion. So Paula was accused of lying to Michael about what could be accomplished in the court that fateful day. Paula told Michael it was Bob's fault (no idea if it was or not) and they had an argument. Belinda would later confirm this saying Paula was hysterical and Michael asked Belinda to take care of Paula and he called Bob, thinking it was in his power to let the kids go. The coroner said the couple who heard yelling from Michael's room at 5 am probably heard him talking to Bob - however, the phone records show that at that time he was actually talking to Paula - not Bob. Michael's family later speculated that it was another threat from Paula to kill herself and Tiger if he didn't marry her. She was free to visit Australia with just Tiger Lily. You have to wonder, where Paula had a suicide attempt only a few months before in August, maybe Michael, who didn't want to ever go back to England, felt death was the only way to save Tiger Lily. Note - the 18 Redburn property (Look up Rightmove Price History Redburn, Chelsea address) sold on November 27, 1997 - on the day of Michael's funeral when Colin Diamond couldn't make it to the funeral. So the deal went through.

So sad 😭,Rip Michael ❤

It was 29 return street not 18

@@johnnaylor823 Nope- you can look it up on Wikimaps and old articles. 18 Redburn was in Paula's name. She gave it to bob, then tried to sell it. Bob got it back after Michael died and did an interview when he moved back in, saying that he didn't care for the more open, exposed pipe look, that Paula and Michael had renovated it to before putting it up for sale.
