DONE!
1 week ago
After 5 months of attempt I finally found an apartment and moved out. I am not living on my own (no room mates or anything, just me and the cat) in a large basement suite.

How to move out (again)
It made me
feel adventurous!
 "exhilerating!"
How I did it: My boyfriend researched places in Huddersfield for us to live. We viewed a few places and found the flat we are living in now :) I didn't like it at first when we viewed it but I'm really glad we decided to take that one. Lessons & tips: Try not to be too picky & imagine what you could do with the place to make it home, weigh up the pros & cons logically and try to think about what's most important to you e.g. location, space etc. Be prepared for unexpected costs, we had to pay £122 for a phone line to be reconnected and have to pay a line rental fee which will take its toll on our budget! Resources: The uni student centre had websites for us to look at and a few landlords they knew personally that they had confidence with for us to ring or email. We could also take our contract in to get it checked before we signed :) |

It made me
very happy
How I did it: I took the initiative of my distaste for living at home where I wasn't getting along with my father and I wasn't wanted anyway, I saved up most of my money and proceeded to look around at apartments on Craigslist. After looking at a few different apartments I found my current home, a spacious basement suite. The rent is very reasonable considering the size, and it includes a dishwasher, full laundry, huge walk in closet and a fire place, … Read how I did it…

New flat!
2 months ago
I’m moving back to Huddersfield next week. I’ve been back home for the Summer and will be moving back in with my boyfriend (can’t wait!) in to a new flat. There’s a few things we need to sort out though and I want to get these things done so it can start feeling like home straight away seeing as we’re only there for less than a year again.
We need to:- Take pictures of faults so we don’t get fined for them
- Paint the living room & bedroom
- Move in our furniture
- Sort out rent
- Sort out bills
- Sort out the internet
- Sort out council tax forms
- Build our flat pack book case
- Move everyting out of the boxes
It doesn’t seem like much but it feels like loads. I’m quite nervous about having to sort out the bills etc as our last place was bills included so that’ll be a new experience. It will be quite exciting though as we’ve have chance to make it our own, the last place we had was pretty bland but there wasn’t really room to make it how you wanted it.
derringer needs your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.
I don't want to repeat my mistakes.

Two months after I turned 18, I moved out of my grandparents house, where I had lived my entire life. My boyfriend and I had been dating for five years, and for the past two we had been living together. Unfortunately the strain of living on our own took it’s toll and things fell apart six months into our one year lease. I spent the next two years bouncing around from friends couches, my boyfriend’s mother’s living room, my car and eventually my childhood home once again. We moved back in with my grandparents in 2006 after being in a car accident that made it impossible for me to sleep where I was living at the time. We haven’t been able to leave since.
I’m terrified we won’t be able to make it on our own again. Coupled with my lack of employment (and difficulty finding it) and our credit card debt we’ve amassed since I lost my job in 2007, I feel like we’re never going to get out of here. It’s tearing our relationship, as well as my sanity, apart.
I have to though, I have to.

I'm bored

I blame my upbringing – we moved so many times, it feels natural. I’ve ended one year’s lease and just moved in to a new place in Nov 2007. It’s almost a year and i’m itching again… but this time it’s a 2 year lease. Crap.
So not until end of 2009 can i get my butt out of here!

I am getting fed up of moving out and then coming back again to my parents because of debt or boyfriends dumping me and kicking me out of their homes!
I am trying hard to get support in getting my own place independantly!
This time, I won't fuck up

No more getting shitty roommates or not having money saved up. This time, I’m doing it right, thinking of a proper time line.

Much MUCH better this time, I guess everythings easier when youve done it before. I’m not doing this again for a long time. 3 times in a year and a half is enough for me.
