    However I don't think OH will be moving with me. He was saying last night how his game still isnt finished and wants to see it through. Thats ok that will be me staying with a friend or in shared accomodation again. :o

    Run that by me again, my mind doesn't seem to be taking it in.

    Ok a lot has happened recently, I completed my Half Marathon but it didn't go too well and I injured my right knee :mad:

    So I can't walk much I have been told by the doctor to rest it as much as I can. So it has given me some time think.

    OH and I had a chat last night and he has admitted he has been a camel about the whole moving process and I have expressed that I wanted to move with him rather than without him. So we have decided the first week of May is the best time to move. He's started to clear out and sell stuff which is great (at long last :p) so he can get his CC paid off.

    So...we have to buy stuff for our place. We may have to rent out somewhere cheap before he move on but it means rent will be cheap until we get a job and considering we wont have any money I have decided to save up my Amazon vouchers becaose we need a Bed (his will do for the time being but it gives me a sore back) and a sofa. So I am on Swagbucks, Superpoints and Maximiles so off to see if I can get refered onto another site! :)

    Hi all, thought I would update anyone who is still reading this thread. It has been busy this end, I have been job hunting like mad and I have been working on getting Amazon vouchers for our bed. OH's bed will come with us but the mattress is very uncomfortable and giving us both a bad back!

    We will visit Edinburgh next weekend we're both off Friday, Saturday and Sunday so travelling down on Thursday night. OH still hasnt got his act together but the good news is he has been kept on by his current work and for it he needs an internet connection :) but I am like oh well I am ready and thats the main thing.

    I leave work on the 27th so not long to go.

    I hope everyone is well x

    We went down to Edinburgh this weekend and found ourselves somewhere to live :j thats if we get it.

    Its expensive but manageable and now I have even more motivation to move stuff and sell as much as I can!

    So this is where the hard work begins.

    I also had an interview with a recruitment agency so hopefully they can get some temping for me if not I have some savings!

    OK that planned has fallen through we can't find a agency that will take us on whilst unemployed unless we get a guarantor which we have no chance of getting. OH still has his head in the sand about it no surprises there....

    So the plan will be to stay with friends for a few weeks. I have also got a job interview lined up and theres a good chance I may get it as I have the experience they need. Hopefully a bit more pay too :)
