Homeless - but still "doin the breavin".

Well that's it, I'm officially homeless now. I was a care worker, working with older people with severe Mental Disabilities and health conditions, I started developing COPD about 18 months ago an it became increasingly obvious that I could no longer cope with the heavy work load, so I resigned. No income apart from a very small pension meant I had to put my house on the market. That completed yesterday so I'm staying at a good friends flat - only problem is that she's a chain smoker!!! Off to see some 1 bed flats next week, one a specialist over 55's community (I'm 60) but my favourite is in an isolated village called Golcar in Yorkshire - fresh air!!

Ain't life an adventure!

Good luck changohank. Off to a new life! And the sooner the better to get out of your friend's smoke. I downsized to the smallest house I have ever lived in two years ago. It is in the centre of a little village outside Stratford upon Avon. I am the happiest I have ever been. Much lower bills, less to clean and I can lock it up and go away. Good luck with it all. I feel sure that you will find your own little haven in a friendly peaceful place.

A new start could have such great benefits, and what a lovely place to live in the middle of the Pennines with those gorgeous views, and Huddersfield only a short drive away. I hope that it all turns out well and wish you all the luck in the world. XXX

It's a shame you had to lose your previous home but it's a new adventure and not everyone is lucky enough to be able to do that. New home new friends and great places to walk.

Good luck and I admire your positive attitude. xx

Here's wishing you all the best in your new home Changohank. It's exciting you can make a choice of homes to live in. I'm sure you'll find the perfect place to suit you.

In the meantime, it's very kind of your friend to offer you a room in her flat, but if she's a smoker, you would be better off in your own place as soon as you can arrange it.

Have fun choosing your new home & let us know how you get on 🌸

We moved from the city to the country, beautiful views , but in the winter a bit quiet. But you make it to be what you want . Good luck finding your new home 😀👍
