warning with AGL gas:
My dad called up to cancel granny's account because, oh let me think, she's passed away - and they were pricks about it! Demanding all sorts of "proof"! The electricity company were no trouble at all but the gas company were absolute bastards!

It's the house hunting. And the fact that with every day that passes I'm running out of time and I can see myself having to move out over Christmas only to move back in with my parents.
The thought of not finding a house and having to move back in with my parents makes me feel like such a failure

It's not failure...
It's happened to me several times. In the past five years I've moved in and out of my parent's three times. It definitely helps you get your head together and remember that whilst independence is a good thing that family will always be there to back you up if needed...
It's just a case of being flung off by the horse rather than just falling off it. In both instances you can just get back on it.
If you do have to move in again with your parents then it makes it easier to look for a place without the stress of having a deadline to do it in. And the brightside is that it's rent-free (presumably...)
but if you manage to find a place before the deadline then hooray!
Cheer up dear.

actually, moving back in with my parents will only make me more desperate to find a place to live in; moving back to Geelong will make working really hard for me
Got an inspection lined up today for a place I'm really interested in...here's hoping they can see past their prejudicial noses and approve my application if I like it.

I like going back to the folks place. Admittedly not to live but my 50 something amazing sister
moves back periodically.
I like going back to the folks place. Admittedly not to live but my 50 something amazing sister

Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

well I applied for it.
it was smaller than what I thought it would be, but for the price and the area it's what can be expected. but don't like my chances given the sheer volume of people who were at the inspection!

All my hope with you! There's always a couch here if you like the sound of Ringwood instead of Geelong for a week. If my parents don't agree, we'll hide you in the pantry.
