Yeah, I can understand the cost being a limiting factor. I guess I just don't want to move to somewhere I'll limit my opportunities...
I guess after living in London, most other places feel too small. Plus it's the closest major city to my family.
There was a big buying boom a little while back with the first time home owners grant, where people got huge subsidies from the government provided they live in the place for 12 months, so there should be a boom of rental properties on the market in just over a month or so... so fingers crossed.
A road trip with a mate sounds like good fun! It's a huge distance to travel so you definitely want to have a buddy to drive with!
My plan atm is to drive up, visit a few temp agencies, try and get some work, and have enough savings to start looking at somewhere cheap to rent... Hopefully that'll be the way it works.
All of my worldly possessions will easily fit into a single car load (and probably into a single car boot... with space!), so it shouldn't be too hard to drive up.
It's not going to happen until November now, so there's plenty of time to save and plan.

Had no idea anything was wrong. Cheated so she could end it without talking.
