sounds like a good option.  you will never be completely secure until you are in your own space, but the space you have been offered even if it only lasts for a month before it is disturbed seems better than the other options, and the upside is, you could have it to yourself for longer

financial frogs can take forever to sort there is always something else, but it won't finish if it isn't started

Wise words. The frog will be eaten next week and it is true, I won't feel secure until I have my own home again, but it does seem better than the other options. I will keep mulling it over and doing the financial sums. Thanks

Have to agree that the flat sounds like a great solution if you can get it to work for you.

I fully understand about you being apprehensive  staying  with friends etc.
I'd feel the same way.  That flat does sound like a good idea. However, hopefully it is in a goodish area that you are familiar with.
Hopefully the neighbours of that flat are not dodgy toe rags like you  encountered last year. You know the score.

Don't cut yourself off of the occasional coffee out now and again . life is for living after all and we are going to be more screwed over the years with the gvt global plans.🤐
I'll leave it there   😼

I agree about the flat, it sounds like a good solution in the short term.  Good luck with the financial frog, hopefully you'll feel a bit better when it's sorted.

Another here who likes the idea of the flat as a short term solution. I hope you manage to hammer the frog!🐸

I concur with everyone and hope you can make it work, that will provide much needed breathing space while settling down into a routine.

The flat sounds like a good option if you can afford it.  Once you have tackled the financial frog, you will know where you stand.
You can then make a plan, you are always good when you have a plan.

It sounds like things are coming together for you to give you more breathing space while you find a long term home...

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling apprehensive, but the flat looks like a good option
