Morning all,
So as I'm kind of a regular round here most of you know me and my situation - well this week that situation changed majorly, hopefully for the better.
I have finally moved into my own place!!
Got myself a nice penthouse studio apartment (yes, upstairs flat 
) on the outskirts of town. Ideal location, 2 mins from a major dual carriageway but also with town just 10 mins away by car or bus (bus stops just outside), one major supermarket and industrial estate 5 mins drive away and another 10 mins drive away. So if I can't find a local job I'll definitely be doing something wrong. 
Of course, all this closeness means lots of short drives and pretty much all town or dually...MPG is suffering as you can guess. Hopefully it doesn't drop below 55mpg over a tank when I'm settled but not much I can do about that lol.
I know some/most won't agree with what I've done, and I'm well aware it's unconventional, but so is my situation.
There are a lot of complicated plans in place to help with my various 'issues' which I won't go into, but the basic idea now is to settle in for a couple of weeks and at some point towards the end of the month look for a part time job, needs to fit certain criteria obviously (not stuck on a till for example) but hoping I can find something fairly soon after that. I am covered financially for 6 months though, so at worst I can do 6 months without any further income, I really hope it doesn't come to that but it's good to know there's a buffer there just in case.
Also I apologise for my absence the last few days, I'm using a 3G dongle until I get proper internet...which really isn't great lol, and I only have 1GB to use on it so trying to conserve that until the proper internet is in!
So hopefully this is the start of change. May even attend a few meets if I'm able to. Not Pugfest though, something closer than Combe and Prescott Hill.
Cheers
Tom
