    Sorry for the slow response, its been insane.

    My brother in law threatened me. Its a really stupid scenario, but his insistence on having a bath every day instead of a shower, in which he uses a showrrs worthof water before even running the bath to rinse the thing down, has led to my rent increasing. Im obviously not happy about this. He also expects thete to be deathoy silen e after 7pm and iv had a series of abusive texts from him over 2 or 3 months now. Iv finally had enough so when they asked me to turn my tv down this evening (which i had only turned up so i ciuld hear it above their tv), i refused because i still have never had an apology and decided i would not be bullied anymore. So of course i get anothet text, so ive decided im going to report him to the police. Hes overheard and come storming downstairs effing and blinding and generally trying to intimidate me, and i the ensuing argument in which i basically wasnt allowed to speak without being interrupted, mum ended up having a panic attack. Shes going to phone the housing officer (yeah, theres a housing officer involved now too) to get them put into temporary accomodation. Its unfortunate but hes brought it on himself. Still feel really down about the whole thing though.

    As for the movng situation, im waiting to see if my brother can put me up so that i dont have to quit my job, butif that falls through my folks have said i can most likely stay with them for a time, though im not particularly cmfortable with that idea.its an option though. If worst comes to it a friend down south has offered to put me up. Im obviously still applyng for things.

    I know it's been hard but it's really positive that you've got a few options going forward with somewhere to live
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Paula's right. The positives are there...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    well, I'm low-key freaking out about the whole thing.

    none of my family in the area are willing to put me up. no action has been taken against the savage that my sister is married to, and their moving date keeps getting pushed back. I'm still waiting to hear back from a bunch of things and it's driving me up the wall. the house sale is all going through at the moment so I'm currently debating wheher to just move with my parents and sleep on their sofa for a while, or try to find a flat share and just barely get by.

    I've been having long periods of not really feeling anything, besides exhaustion, and I've been really ill lately too.

    It's good to see you. Sorry things aren't going well for you right now. Are there flat share options around? In what way have you been ill?

    Im looking at flat shares at the moment, all pretty pricey thugh, doesnt leave me a lot at the end of the month. i cant get mor hours, ive checked, and if im going to be looking for another job id rather be looking for something more long term that will let me move away (which im doing anyway) rather than look for a second job just so that i can stay in the area until something else comes up. and ive jut been run down and tired, glands have been up and stuff like that.

    I assume you're looking in the areas you want to move to as well? Tried things like linkedin?

    Im only looking locally at the moment so tht i dont have to give up my current job before i have something else. as far as jobs go, im keeping an eye out for anything im qualified for, but its a cae of as and when they appear. i did give linkedin a go, but couldnt really get on with it.

    I assume there is a specific site to look for the jobs you are specifically looking for - as in for teaching jobs TES jobs is one of the best places to look...

    theres actually a few, but theres one that i mainly use its tricky though, becaue im genuinely unsure if i should be applying for entry level or mid level jobs. i have an MSc, but dont really have any experience. im also really hoping to hear back about a PhD in partnership with the ARC trust. its so much my thing the apply button may as well have had my name on it.
