We have under a month left here. Now, readers who've stuck with me through this blog will know our time here has been... challenging, at times. Hell, we've wished we could get out of here sooner. But now the time is almost upon us, it's becoming very hard work.
We don't yet have a flat or house to move to. What's more, the "cheap" houses still need deposit and admin fees, and between those it's all really adding up... We'd found a flat, but then the landlord picked a DSS client over us - guaranteed cash I guess. Even more of a pain as that flat didn't need a deposit and the admin fee was half that of most LAs we've come across. /sigh.
I am still a student, though I'm having a big old conundrum about that - we're skint as hell and I'm not used to, nor am I comfortable with, my finances feeling this out of control. There's undeniably a huge part of me saying "just go work" - I'm looking for employment as things stand anyway as I have the summer off so I'm just waiting and hoping someone will get back to me about the shedload of job applications I have in already.
So, even further economy drives commence. Between the lack of funds and the impending move, we're working hard on storecupboard shopping - that is eating from what we have in our cupboards, fridge and freezer with a focus on avoiding any more spending till we really have to. It makes for some interesting meals, I can tell you that!
I hope to give you better news soon, and in a more decisive tone.
