you know when all you lovely people give advice...

Gemmzie

I thought you were under 25 (the age I work with), let me number crunch in the morning and get back to you xx

You can get HB paid to you directly, the LL need never know

I also think you would get CT benefit.

Also in terms of your Broadband, you can get tesco value for about a tenner, and the Landline is just about 12 per month with BT. You can get a bugeting card with BT too if you wanted.

Gemmzie will be able to offer more, but IM certain youd be entitled to something.

well i have been looking even more now and i found one closer to where i am now but its much smaller but its furnished but its £25 more expensive, but i know the area so i am tempted with this one. The problem is its basically one room and a bathroom, although this is what i am living in at the momment so i am not too bothered The only thing thats worring me is this one and the one i posted before looks like it has no washing machine now i dont know how that works?

thanks lynz, i will just have bt as line rental for my internet i wouldnt use my phone as i have my mobile but what happens as i have all this houses' bt in my name :rolleyes:

also i am worried that i couldnt afford the deposit, this new flat would be nearly £1000.00 deposit :eek: i have £750.00 spare on a credit card but they need cash/cheque, i could try for a loan but would this be the spiral of my life in debt? would it be worth me trying to save every penny and maybe re look in august?

i really dont know what to do the advantages of moving out far outweigh the advantages of staying at home but its such a big step and also i could be in worse trouble finanacially than ever :rolleyes:

oh here is the link to the new one, be aware it is very very very tiny http://www.andrewsonline.co.uk/tenants/propertyDetails.asp?id=13044

There are often tenancy deposit schemes, call shelter, some locla authorities can lend you the money 0% so you can get accomodation

thanks lynz but i have looked into this before and bristol city council is the only one in my area that will provide it but its the same terms as they dish out the council houses with... i wont get it :rolleyes:

why?

I would suggest you fall into the bracket where your homelife is such ( financial abuse, no other term for it) that it is no longer "reasonable for you to occupy" your current home, and thus are efectivley homeless.

no not according to the council, i have given up count of the arguements i have had at the council, there is no 'proof' of the abuse and i have no other reason to be re-housed. last time i phoned (about 3 weeks ago) they said that the only way i could recive any help from bcc is to apply for a flat, and wait for it, that particlar day i would be on a list, and because my points are stupid i would be 12,605 on the list :rotfl: i havent sent the forms away, i have more chance of winning the lottery

why is this world so tough?

anyays i have been thinking if i stop learning to drive and dont go to college then it can be done, just :rolleyes: but if i then lose my job i will be up the creek without a paddle as my mum wont take me back

HI posting

I don't know much about housing policy but could you increase your points by making yourself homeless? Just move out and sleep on a friend's floor for a while?

As for which of the two flats - do you have a preference which location? As you are moving to get away from your family why not move further, and have the advantage of living close to the city centre? It might be easier to look for a better paying job close to there.

Just imagine yourself living in each location - waking up in the morning on your day off - what would you do? Which would feel a nicer place to live?

I think it would be a great shame to give up your plans to go to college. Yes you need to move out in the short term, but studying is going to help you throughout your life.

Personally I don't think learnig to drive is such a high priority if you live in a city. It's something you can do any time.

Best of luck with it.

You would get benefits and everything would be paid for.

It might be easier to look for a better paying job close to there. the first one ~ nearer the city will cost me more to get to work (i suspect) where as the latest one is on the same bus route only an extra 6 bus stops

Just imagine yourself living in each location - waking up in the morning on youday off - what would you do? Which would feel a nicer place to live? i would prefer the latter one as i can get to work easier, i do nothing but work and sit on my pc and go swimming all of which are on my bus route, i lead a boring life :rolleyes:

I think it would be a great shame to give up your plans to go to college. Yes you need to move out in the short term, but studying is going to help you throughout your life. i really dont know what to do, i am totally fed up here, i have no personal space here anymore and i just want to lead my life they way i want, not eat teh food in the house as thats what mum has brought, not sit in my room for fear of someone entering it and just be me i want idepenace i am aint getting that her and i doubt i will till i make my move... but i want to go to college i want to do things i want to do not whats expected of me

Personally I don't think learning to drive is such a high priority if you live in a city. It's something you can do any time. yep but i will be letting down my instructor, not to mention if i never get out of here and mum moves to her oh's (in wiltshire) i will either have to move with her(thus needing to be able to drive) or then i will be stuck with no house and no stablity

Best of luck with it.

i think i will have to just cope here a little longer and face up to the fact that i am a faliure as i have a crap job that pays pittance, i beleive that i will be nearly 30 before i leave home, there is no other way out, sadly i am not given everything on a plate, i havent got a partner and i aint got a kid, sadly in this city unless you are earning mega money or has one of the above you cant get anywhere

i just dont seem to have the answers anymore or the intellagince to make the decisions i want in my life, i seem to have beaten my mother and brother but i cant sort out my life, i dont want to be an adult anymore, i dont want to have to live like this
