Right - had breakfast - feeling a little better - still low though, but I will go and wake up DH (yes he's still snoozing upstairs :eek: ok granted he was up as late as me, but whilst mine was Roo kicking his was because he was playing on the 360 MEN!) and tell him how I'm feeling today and change the days plans a little and just play it by ear for the rest of the day Then I'm having a shower and washing my hair

Thanks lilmiss and Mrstine.

My OH was told what you just said Mrstine when he went to a letting agent Thursday. Thing is we dont have anyone who could be our guarantor. So we're left with the private landlord option, where do i find them? Ive looked in the local paper and most just rent out rooms instead of the whole flat. The few that do let out the whole place the flats dont look to nice to live in!

Morning,

I just got smug fish this morning too. I have joined the take a break one too today and got 25p and withdrew my ten pounds, I hope that it doesnt take too long to come back. Money is extra tight this month.

That flat is too expensive for us though

mariagti - they are around... I've seen some in places as odd as tesco's notice board - but often they will also be listed in your local property paper in the rent section They DO exist!
Some landlords who rent through agencies are willing to allow people with bad credit if they put down a larger deposit - I don't know if that's an option for you? Worth asking though - I know some of the landlords we had on our books had left notes to that effect so we knew to call them if a credit check came back as poor we'd notify the landlord anyway and ask them if they'd be willing to accept the tenant with a deposit of £x and 2 or 3 references...

If you don't ask you don't get But always ask before you start viewing to save your time and the agents time... they can also always stick you on the books incase something comes up

You will probably just have to keep looking hun, maybe ask around at your work etc see if anyone knows any good landlords or maybe put a post on the house renting board here asking for good landlords near you? I would.

Right feeling a little more positive now - have had a shower and a cuddle with DH, who amazingly managed to make me laugh in bed earlier when we were having a cuddle Something utterly silly but had me in stitches!
So... still a little down but getting there... slowly...

Glad your feeling better now

Youtube funny videos are good when your feeling down, I spent a few hours last night watching Cat clips
