    Ideally lonesome, but if I find myself friends who want to share/I think I can cope with living with other people still then I would do, but to start with I'll be lodging.

    Well you thinking can cope with others, all depends on how well your lodging goes.

    True enough, but at least if I'm the lodger I can move on if I don't like who I live with, if I decided to houseshare that tenancy agreement makes it much harder, and generally I do like to be able to come home and shut the door on the world.

    I may have found somewhere to live, very close to work and the family are familiar with my work place as they've attended courses there in the past, weirdly one of my future colleagues has also been a lodger with them in the past too.

    And the future colleague/lodger liked them? (This is very important... :rotfl:)

    Don't know yet have asked my friend who works there already to find out if they've made it known that the job has been offered externally.

    Yes, you don't want to go with them and have the ex-lodger come back saying "They were a bit strange, and they had a very lumpy patio..."

    How are you feeling about it?

    In fairness lumpy patios are quite normal for me :D

    Still a little bit stunned it's happening so fast. But generally good.

    That's good! Cold improving?

    Cold is near enough gone, still have a bunged up nose.

    Decided that the people I've been talking to are maybe not the best fit for me in terms of places to live so have made enquiries with a couple of other people. Might be a bad choice but just feel like living in a family home is not necessarily whats best for me this time around.

    I felt a little confined to my room last time and after another year of that at Dad's house I don't think it's what I want to go back to, plus I don't think I'd feel comfortable cooking for myself in a family kitchen especially if I'm going to be doing some semi irregular hours again.
