Good luck C0urt! I hope you find a great place to live and do your art.
 
applied and filled out paper work today. will know around Tuesday.
It will be a long weekend of waiting. I will have to let the gf move in with me to help pay for everything. it was that or move into the apt with crack pipes on the floor.
 
The money for my deposit is all gone...

Mum and dad got a notice today for eviction for not paying the rent. Did what i had to do.

There'll be other flats, later.
 
So sorry Lou. You're a good daughter, many brownie points for you.
 
Hmmm... I still feel pretty down about it though. I know that sounds slightly selfish. Anyhoo, what's the use of me being in a nice new place if mum and dad have nowhere to go? I'll get over it. Anyway, I think mum has some money coming to her soon, hopefully they'll be able to pay me back then.
 
It looks likes we got the place, pics soon :-)
we are supposed to move in this weekend to next week. I am very excited.
trying to get all of my stuff washed and organized in the next few days without causing to much grief around the house.

I will miss my industrial sewing machine.
 
That's great Court!

I'm still looking for places. The one i applied for just before i lent the money to mum and dad has now gone to someone else. Going to have a nosy around and see what i can find. I can only afford about £400 ($550?) a month for rent.
 
Oh yeah, my nurse is calling round on the 20th too. I wanted more advice on how i'd deal with living on my own, and i thought it might help put my mum's mind at rest too.

Best thing is that i don't have to go all the way to the hospital to see her, she's paying a house visit :D
 
Hey loop, I think its a good idea to get a dog to. I moved out when I was 18. My epilepsy is and was at the time very serious. Now I'm divorced and I'ts just me and my son, both with epilepsy. You will find that you will establish a routine. I think you will like it more than you are scared of it. I have pictures of my first apartment . Good times.
Have Fun, but be a good tenant. I was a manager too.
