    I will give them a look. I have used my DLA payment which has left me with a few pounds but I figured it would be better than losing the property.

    So...saying that it sounds like you've secured the property but now have no money in the bank. A few weeks (maybe a few months) of living super frugally I believe will be better for you in the long term. You've now got yourself a secure tenancy and the years of "living hell" will soon be over.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    I have no money really and have got to get clothes, furniture, cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine etc and a £100 deposit on a mobility scooter under the motability scheme. I don't know whether I did the right thing or not, I keep having a change of mind.
