Would a weekly caravan rental work until you find a house? I assume there must be lots of holiday parks if you are coastal. I suppose you could even buy a cheap caravan and rent a remote pitch and then sell on when you find a house.

I say this because I remember previous posts of yours on the housing board and that you like your own space are happy not to "lord" it

Look in the paper at ppl wanting lodgers. Ex mil takes them in and has a (super clean) quiet house, and she'd love a quiet, tidy older person!

It'd drive me crazy to live there but theres no love lost between us

I'm looking everywhere at the moment. One of the problems is that nobody wants a lodger without a job. Nobody wants a lodger hanging around the house all day doing !!!! all.

I can't get a job until I've got a home settled.... and I plan to look for work once I've got a home... but, in the meantime, people with rooms are picky about age, hobbies, lifestyle, working/not.

They aren't cheap. They're £500-1000/week as you're paying for "sleeps 6/8" or "sleeps 4".

You can't buy a cheap caravan on a holiday park. Firstly, round here, cheap is £30-40k, you need a permanent address - and on top of that the annual rent on the plot is £3k. You have to buy a caravan on an existing plot; you can't buy a caravan and then rent a pitch and move it on.

So it's not a cheap or quick solution.... I've checked/looked 100x.

There are a few sites round here that are all year round and quite cheap. I can vouch for them being nice, know people that live there and have done for years.

Eta there are little touring type caravans there, £80 ish per week I think. Can supply the number if pastures New is interested :rotfl:

Yes, I can see that but not even if you bought a second hand caravan from autotrader and parked in a farmer's field?

[a] That's not very safe, secure or legal.
There's no address - can't get things mailed/posted to a caravan in a field. And in order to carry out a reasonable person's lifestyle, I'd want a proper address and letter box.

And

[c] You're now suggesting I live in a wonky caravan in a muddy field without access to basic services... because some parents are bad at parenting?

That's a leap.

I have lots of children and find your comments irritating. You were a child once you know!

you would think. however I often see them as I pass the local shop in the morning.
some parents seem to have to go to this shop in the morning. Don't know why

A very quick cyber-stalk of you indicates you have a knowledge of the area where I am .... so you might be round my way.
