I'm wanting to move, relocate-to somewhere in the Leeds district.
I've lived for ages taking care of my parent's properties (they're developers) and then I moved in with my boyfriend.
I want to move back to where I'm from, my parents and family are there and I want to be closer to them.
I'm extremely upset that my boyfriend cannot move with me, but he can't. He can't sell this house, and I can't live here with him-the house is in such a state that it's making me miserable, at first I did my best to sort it out and I still am trying to, but I've lost energy for it-I'm not doing as much as I used to (I've been here two months only) and the situation, knowing we have to part ways, along with the state of this house , is causing me to slip into a depression.
Anyways, that isn't the point of this thread, just a bit of background!
I don't want to pay half my wages to rent a house for myself.
I have few belongings, and I still intend to visit my boyfriend and my friends, also I work night shifts three nights and travel for those-I just want somewhere to hang my hat and somewhere I can wash and sleep!
I've been looking at communal housings, renting rooms in shared houses (some seem very cheap!)
And I've thought about renting a room for maybe three months and whilst there, looking at other arrangements.
I've considered asking if any elderly people need help, would let me live there for a small amount in return for help cooking and cleaning, my friend does that but he got lucky through word of mouth-and now he helps an old lady wash and dress and takes her out twice a week, and doesn't pay anything apart from helping with electricity!
Anyway, I just wanted to know if anybody knows anything about alternative living and/or could give me any ideas.
I thought it would make an interesting thread, too-unless there already is one :)
Thank you
