    AC - how about calming your brain down with a list.

    The first item should be Make List then you have something to tick off straight away.

    Then write down your reasons for choosing Poole. If that doesn't help you focus, did you ask the friends who are not keen for their reasons?

    There is of course nothing to stop you breaking down life into manageable chunks. The first bit could be renting in Poole while you decide whether it is for you. You don't need to think beyond that at the moment.
  • Hellooo candy :)
    Yeah, I'm thinking that about myself too:)
    Okay, I'm now gonna rent when my flat is sold .
    I will probably aim to get signed off work for a considerable time .
    ( something I never saw coming . Always worked etc).
    If I do , I've got to try and hide cash from sale of flat , or I'll get nothing.

    Google will be my friend this weekend.( along wth everyone here obviously :))
  • Yes Wendy . Everything you said, is what I'll be doing and makes sense:)

    I am pretty sure that there is an ill health benefit that is not means tested, but I guess the current govt has had plenty of time to deal with that.

    You know i'm only kidding re Mavis.Seriously i'm soo happy for you.You're free as a bird now:D
    Re going off sick, you will be entiltled to ESA until the sale money comes through.The CAB or welfare rights will be able to give you concrete advice.If you could get signed off from your doc, you'd have more time to get the flat sorted, n declutter too ;)
    LL don't leave us in suspenders :eek::rotfl:

  • Candy, you are right about Mavis :) I am way too cautious .
    I'll be looking into this .
    I may go to cab, now that you mentioned it.
    I went last year , when I got suspended . Having said that , if I was in suspenders , I may have claimed discrimination :).
