    We have a storage unit which we pay £60 pm for, it's a large one. Obviously, as its on the Welsh borders, it's not very practical but I wondered if you might find something similar. It's not the sort of place that would have a website, but it is in yellow pages. I searched on yell.com for Hertfordshire and there do seem to be a few, but obviously I have no idea of where they are in relation to you. Just a thought.....

    Just a thought Mot but can you post a rough idea of how much it will cost you to move :confused: Things like
    Getting stuff out of storage
    Moving present stuff out
    Deposit and security
    Rough rental cost
    It might give some idea of overall target ;)
    At the moment we are in HA accomodation through the council paying £141.02 a week for a 1 bed flat:eek: although HB pay £66.71 towards it at the moment. I have seen a 3 bed mid terrace ex council property on Rightmove for £875 a month - no details as to now much deposit needed but I guess a month or 6weeks rent up front as a deposit plus one months rent in advance(cheapest I can find), so will need to find out how much HB would pay towards that (do I just ring them up to find out?). I am storing the rest of furniture at the moment in 5 containers with a removal firm and they are charging me a minimum of £235 per month (depends on how many days in the month) as for moving - well the things from here could possibly be moved for free if I can get some help, but the rest of my stuff from the containers will cost approx £950 - £1000 to get back out and into the new property:eek: .

    So as a very rough idea and I don't want to frighten anyone but...

    £1000ish to removal of storage
    £200ish to pay this months balance on removal firms storage
    £1279ish 6wk deposit
    £875ish one month rent advance
    £0 free moving costs due to MSE help

    Total Approx (Look away Mot) £3354 :o

    In the property you are in now it seems HB pays just under the 50% mark towards the rent so after these very rough costs they should be able to pay about half of the rent :confused:

    OK I need another coffee :rotfl:

  • If you are thinking of TV programmes, what about The Wright Stuff? [EMAIL="wrightstuff@five.tv"]wrightstuff@five.tv[/EMAIL] I love that show, lol, and they have politicians on the panel from time to time. Would be interesting.
