In the Meantime

Thanks everyone 

@Brie yes, as @beanilou says, it is 3 points that need responses to as part of the application form.

No lists for a few days but the old lists are complete.

So, a few days away from here. Nothing much has happened but someone was staying since Thursday. They have just gone. I preferred being by myself but they asked if I minded and I didn't feel I could say no. My time here is coming to an end tomorrow. On to the next place. Hopefully that will work out ok, and I can settle there and my next move will be to my own home. I have been told I can stay as long as I like. That is nice, but I'm so keen to settle in my own home...

It has been good here. I can now sleep through the night and I am less stressed.

Nothing suitable has come up house wise. There was something but it was on a busy road and that put me off.

I still have a grip on my finances. I lost track of my CC so I made a payment by guessing. I will get the statement next week.

I have read 5 books since being here! 

I bought a secondhand jacket today. Pure new wool and beautiful. Only £15. It looks new. The pockets are still sealed and the top button has a packet of spare buttons in it. Dry cleaning will be another £5. Also a vintage 70s, I think, cabin bag (Antler). Perfect for a few days away. £10, same shop. 

I was at the seaside yesterday. Sunny but cold. I've decided beaches are wonderful all year long 

The ongoing application form has a deadline of tomorrow!

Hope everyone is ok

Good luck with the application.

Hope you find your own home soon. I too think the sea is amazing any time of year

I hope your own home is found soon.

I agree, beaches are wonderful and so calming any time of the year.

Can't beat listening to the ripples of water meeting sand.

You'll find the right home soon.

Thanks @savingholmes, @jwil, @MovingForwards

I agree I will find somewhere. I also need a job so I have switched to focusing on a job (whilst still looking for a house of course) that as it feels like something I can take action on.

I worked last night to get the form completed before the deadline today. I finished it off this morning. It has been sent! Pleased with myself regardless of the outcome.

It is my last day here, so going to treat myself to coffee and cake in the sunshine for elevenses

Enjoy the coffee and cake ☕️🧁 It's a nice day for it 
Good luck with the job hunting , and finding your eventual permanent home ..🤞

It sounds like your stay has been good for you.  I love the beach all year round too.  I read that a seaside walk clears the head and invigorates and energises whilst a walk by still water eg pond or lake calms.

Glad that you got the application in.

Well done on the job hunt. Glad you had a refreshing time away.
